Sheriff: Terry Cole charged in South Bristol pedestrian accident

PEDESRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Pedestrians face daily risks on roadways across the country, as highlighted by this incident.

According to the National Safety Council, approximately 150,000 pedestrians were injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2018.

Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, explained that crashes like this can happen for many reasons, including inexperienced driving, failure to follow traffic laws and safety guidelines, reckless behavior, unfamiliar road conditions, and driving under the influence.

“Accident investigators must determine what happened by reconstructing the crash based on the initial evidence available,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“An attorney has the resources to bring in expert witnesses, review a driver’s background, locate witnesses, and examine applicable insurance coverage. Legal counsel can also help guide a family through this difficult time while protecting their rights,” Bond added.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Injured victims involved in a collision may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim to recover compensation for medical expenses, future care, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.

“Victims are often overwhelmed by the aftermath of a serious accident, as it can impact family life, work, finances, and overall well-being,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“It is important to understand your rights and take prompt action to protect them. No matter the situation, the law is designed to help victims on their path to recovery,” Formica added.
