Thomas Harris faces charges in Middletown bicycle collision injuring boy

HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The Middletown Division of Police and the Butler County Severe Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team continue to investigate the incident.

Leaving the scene of a traffic incident is a criminal offense, yet statistics show that more than one such event occurs every minute in the United States. Many drivers flee due to intoxication, lack of a valid license, or fear of arrest.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized that in situations like this, a prompt independent investigation is essential to safeguard the rights of victims.

“Having the proper resources is critical to thoroughly investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must be carefully reviewed. These steps are vital in helping victims secure justice and appropriate financial compensation.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The juvenile boy may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the emotional and financial strain after a serious injury can be overwhelming and impact every aspect of life.

“It is important for victims or their families to retain an attorney when pursuing a personal injury claim, allowing legal counsel to negotiate with insurance companies on their behalf,” Formica added. “Insurance providers often attempt to settle quickly for far less than a claim’s true value. Attorneys work diligently to ensure victims are treated fairly and receive proper compensation.”
