CHP: Sonia Chow Killed in Two-Vehicle Collision in Palmdale

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The CHP is expected to release a full report following its investigation into the accident that claimed the life of Sonia Chow, leaving her family to grieve.

Meanwhile, Candice Bond said crashes such as this one warrant an independent investigation by a reputable law firm to preserve evidence and safeguard the legal rights of a victim’s grieving family.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family who has lost a loved one during this difficult time, as well as protect their legal rights and best interests.”

Each year, roughly 36,000 people die, and another 1.9 million people are injured in motor vehicle accidents in this country. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes last year, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Sonia Chow may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We understand what families are forced to endure, and protecting their rights is vital,” said Candice Bond, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death lawyer can remain informed about the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s best interests are protected. Relatives of wrongful death victims may seek damages for the loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
