PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Every year, millions are injured in U.S. traffic crashes—many with life-altering consequences. Approximately 2.44 million were injured in motor vehicle accidents in 2023 across the country, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

While the cause and liability of the crash remain under investigation, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said that an independent investigation by a qualified attorney is often essential.

“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, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently,” said Bond.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, a victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and uncertainty following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting family life, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company on behalf of a client,” Formica added.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
