Redding Crash: Anthony Martin Booked on Felony Charges

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Traffic laws clearly require drivers to stop at all red lights. Unfortunately, motorists don’t always follow these laws, leading to crashes across the country.

According to the Federal Highway Administration, roughly 40 percent of automobile collisions occur at road intersections, with the cause typically linked to running a stop sign or stoplight. Common reasons drivers blow through stoplights include impatience, reckless driving, and distraction behind the wheel.

Regardless of what the police investigation ultimately reveals, Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, emphasized the importance of hiring an attorney to conduct an independent investigation into the cause of the crash in order to secure evidence and protect victims’ rights.

“Time is critical in cases like this, and injured victims need assurance that evidence will be reviewed promptly and thoroughly,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Beyond the diligent efforts of law enforcement, an attorney will carefully examine what may have contributed to the crash and has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses, and review applicable insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can compassionately guide victims through this difficult time while protecting their legal rights and best interests.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

Pending the outcome of the investigation, victims of the crash may be entitled to pursue personal injury claims for damages covering medical and rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.

“Injured victims involved in a collision often pursue a personal injury claim to help cover a wide range of expenses,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal. “Insurance companies are often notoriously indifferent to the mounting costs an injured party may face. That’s where an attorney can step in. We work daily to protect the victims of these tragedies, holding insurance companies accountable for their mistakes.”
