Steven Fitch Hurt in Middle Island Rocky Point Road Collision

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Each year, motor vehicle crashes in the United States kill roughly 36,000 people and injure 1.9 million more. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes in 2018, 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.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors that are reviewed during an investigation,” said Candice Bond, an experienced attorney and Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team may be required to help determine how the crash occurred. These resources are necessary to help clients pursue monetary compensation for damages or losses following a collision,” Bond said.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Steven Fitch may have the right to pursue personal injury claims pending the outcome of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often pursue a personal injury claim to help cover medical expenses, future medical care, lost income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect victims of these tragedies daily, forcing insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
