NCHP: Sigmon Crosses Centerline, Child Hurt in Hickory Crash

HEAD-ON ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, said that in cases such as this, an independent investigation should be conducted to help protect the rights of those affected.

“Factors like road conditions, visibility, and lighting all need to be considered and closely examined,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “An accident reconstruction team is sometimes brought in to help piece together exactly what happened. These resources are essential in helping clients secure fair compensation for the damages and losses they’ve suffered following a collision.”

Motor vehicle crashes injure approximately 1.9 million people each year across the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, common causes of such crashes include speeding, impairment from alcohol, drugs, or medication, improper lane usage, failure to yield, and distracted driving.

“Acting quickly matters in cases like this, so victims can be confident that the evidence is being reviewed thoroughly and efficiently,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Alongside the work already being done by law enforcement, an attorney will take a close look at what may have contributed to the crash, drawing on resources to bring in expert witnesses, examine driver backgrounds, locate witnesses, and review applicable insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can offer accident victims compassionate support during this difficult time while protecting their legal rights and best interests.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the child injured in the Toyota Sienna may be entitled to file a personal injury claim covering medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.

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