Rantrovius Simon died in wrong-lane passing crash in Cherokee Co

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Experts note that due to the intense impact forces and energy transfer in head-on collisions, occupants often suffer severe or fatal injuries. Driver negligence such as distraction, speeding, and unsafe passing are among the leading contributing factors in these types of crashes. Although head-on collisions represent only about 2% of motor vehicle crashes in the United States, they account for more than 10% of all traffic fatalities.

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, it is essential that an independent investigation be conducted promptly to protect the rights of the victim’s family.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the family of the victim must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently,” said Bond, managing partner at Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is often necessary to help determine the sequence of events leading up to and following a crash,” Bond added.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Rantrovius Simon may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other damages following a catastrophic accident.

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

“A wrongful death attorney will remain informed about the official investigation and help ensure that the victim’s legal rights and best interests are protected throughout the process.”
