Rapides Parish crash kills motorcyclist Dillon Jenkins on I-49

FATAL MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

Even when riding defensively and obeying traffic laws, motorcyclists such as Mr. Jenkins remain highly exposed on public roadways.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that motorcyclists are nearly 27 times more likely to be killed in crashes than occupants of passenger vehicles. Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, noted that cases like this require a thorough independent investigation conducted by a skilled attorney to help protect the rights of the victim’s family.

“Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable users of the roadway, and numerous factors can contribute to fatal collisions,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “Blind spots, distracted driving, and driver inattention are common causes. An attorney has the resources to bring in expert witnesses, review driver history, identify witnesses, and evaluate insurance coverage while supporting the grieving family through the legal process and protecting their interests.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Dillon Jenkins may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families in such cases may seek compensation for loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and pain and suffering following a tragic accident.

“The emotional impact after losing a loved one in a sudden accident can be devastating,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “We understand the difficulties families face, and protecting their legal rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney can follow the investigation closely and ensure their interests are fully represented.”
