San Antonio head-on crash kills John Rodriguez, police report

HEAD-ON CRASH INVESTIGATION

Driver error remains one of the leading causes of head-on collisions. However, these serious crashes can also result from speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, poor roadway design, inexperienced motorists, and driver confusion.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 40,901 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2023, a 4.3% decrease from 2022 and the second consecutive annual decline.

“Contributing factors to be examined include road conditions, visibility, and lighting,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes required to determine exactly how a collision occurred. These investigative resources are critical in helping clients pursue monetary compensation for damages or losses following a serious crash,” Bond added.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of the victim may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving relatives of wrongful death victims can seek compensation for the loss of companionship, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from a tragic accident.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“We understand the difficult challenges families face during this time, and protecting their legal rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s rights and best interests remain protected,” Bond added.
