Queens man Davidson Torres-Suarez dies after being struck at red light

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Numerous factors contribute to rising traffic fatalities, with driver behavior playing a major role, including speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving—particularly due to cellphone use. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 8,055 lives were lost in motor vehicle crashes during the first quarter of 2025.

While investigators work to determine the cause and liability of the crash, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner at Bond Legal, stressed the importance of an independent investigation.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview key witnesses, analyze any available surveillance footage, and obtain phone and text records from the parties involved,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Time is critical in cases like this, and families must ensure that all evidence is preserved and reviewed promptly.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of Davidson Torres-Suarez may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and funeral expenses following such a tragic incident.

“The emotional toll after losing a loved one in a crash can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand what families endure in these situations, and ensuring their rights are protected is essential. A wrongful death attorney will follow the investigation closely and help safeguard the family’s legal interests.”
