Stephanie Bortnowsky hurt in Mount Sinai rollover accident

SINGLE-VEHICLE DWI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), approximately 300,000 people are injured annually in alcohol-related traffic incidents in the United States. Impaired drivers often suffer from reduced judgment, poor coordination, delayed reactions, and impaired vision.

Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, commented on incidents such as this.

“Separate from criminal charges, victims may pursue compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Beyond law enforcement efforts, an attorney can re-examine witnesses, review surveillance footage, and obtain phone and text records. Acting as an advocate, legal counsel helps guide injured victims while protecting their rights and holding impaired drivers accountable.”

Motor vehicle incidents injure approximately 1.9 million people each year in the United States. Common contributing factors include speeding, impairment, lane violations, failure to yield, and distracted driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

“Time is critical in cases like this, and evidence must be reviewed promptly,” Bond added, a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “An attorney can help ensure victims are supported while their legal rights and interests are protected.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, Stephanie Bortnowsky may be entitled to pursue a personal injury claim for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

“Injured victims often file personal injury claims to recover the financial burden associated with their injuries,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal. “Insurance companies are often unwilling to fully account for these costs. An attorney can help protect victims and ensure they receive fair compensation while holding responsible parties accountable.”
