Pedestrian Urbano Murillo Jr. killed in Oildale crash

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Even a brief delay in medical attention after a serious crash can cost a life. Leaving the scene benefits no one — neither the victim nor the driver. Nearly 65 percent of people killed in hit-and-run crashes are pedestrians or bicyclists, according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

Bond, who also serves as a national analyst for Accident Injury News, emphasized that “drivers must always exercise great care behind the wheel.”

An attorney will carefully evaluate all contributing factors and has the ability to engage expert witnesses, identify and interview witnesses, and review all applicable insurance coverage.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Urbano Murillo Jr. may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members may seek compensation for loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and other damages following such a tragic incident.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“A wrongful death attorney will monitor the progress of the official investigation and help ensure that the victim’s legal rights and best interests remain protected.”
