Teresa Davis killed in Buncombe County hit-and-run crash

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, yet statistics indicate that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on U.S. roadways.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, it is essential to have an independent investigation conducted promptly by an experienced attorney to help protect the rights of the victim and family.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” Bond added.

These procedures are necessary for helping someone who has lost a loved one at the hands of a hit-and-run driver receive the justice and monetary compensation they deserve.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the victim’s family could pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death attorney will stay informed about the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
