Sandra Friedman Dies After Being Hit by Jeep in Boca Raton

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Each year, thousands of pedestrians are killed on U.S. roads. The Governors Highway Safety Association reported approximately 3,304 pedestrian fatalities in the first half of 2024.

“Proper investigative resources are essential in pedestrian accident cases to determine whether negligence played a role,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

“Elements such as road layout, visibility, signage, and lighting conditions must be carefully evaluated,” Bond added. “In many cases, accident reconstruction experts are required to fully understand how the collision occurred.”

Bond also noted that thorough investigation is critical to ensure families receive fair compensation for their losses.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

“It is almost always a driver’s duty to yield to pedestrians,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal. The family of a victim may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim.

“Families may seek damages for loss of companionship, emotional distress, funeral expenses, and other related losses following a fatal accident,” Formica said.

He added that legal representation can help guide families through the process while ensuring their rights are protected during investigations and negotiations.

“Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims quickly for less than their full value,” Formica noted. “An experienced attorney can advocate for the family and ensure they receive fair treatment and compensation.”
