LSP: Preston Workman dies in Haughton motorcycle crash

MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

This accident highlights the risks motorcyclists face on roadways each day. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 83,000 motorcyclists were injured in crashes in 2021, marking an increase of about 5 percent from the previous year.

Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, emphasized that in cases like this, preserving evidence through an independent investigation is critical.

“Along with the police report, an attorney will thoroughly examine all potential contributing factors,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “A lawyer has the resources to retain expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, identify witnesses, and review insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide a victim’s family through this difficult process while ensuring accountability.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, an injured victim may be eligible to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the stress following a serious injury can be overwhelming and affect all aspects of life.

“It is important for victims to seek legal representation when filing a personal injury claim, as an attorney can negotiate with insurance companies on their behalf,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often attempt to pressure victims into accepting quick settlements that are far less than what a case may be worth. An attorney will advocate to ensure fair treatment and proper compensation.”
