Quintoriah Jones Dies, Three Hurt in Macon Wrong-Way Crash

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Wrong-way accidents can result from several factors, including distracted driving, poor road design, and driver mistakes. Although driver error is frequently involved, the National Transportation Safety Board reports that DUI is the leading cause of wrong-way collisions. Data indicates impaired drivers are responsible for as many as 75 percent of these crashes.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and require thorough examination,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, added, “An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision.”

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the family of a victim must ensure that evidence is reviewed in an efficient manner.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The victims may have the right to pursue personal injury claims while the investigation is pending.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
