Roger Fernandez faces charges in Fort Worth pedestrian accident

FATAL PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. are rising at a significantly faster rate than overall traffic deaths, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA).

From 2009 to 2023, pedestrian deaths surged by 80%, while other traffic-related fatalities increased by 13%. Such incidents often result from speeding, driver negligence, distraction, or impairment.

Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, emphasized that an independent investigation by a qualified attorney is critical in protecting the rights of a grieving family.

“Having the necessary resources is crucial in examining a pedestrian accident and establishing liability,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst with Accident Injury News. “Factors such as roadway conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must be thoroughly evaluated. These steps are essential in helping families pursue justice and rightful compensation.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of the victim killed in this accident may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Loved ones of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic incident.

“We understand the profound difficulties families face after such a loss, and protecting their rights is essential,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney will stay informed on the investigation and work to ensure that the family’s best interests are represented. Relatives may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a catastrophic accident.”
