Tieisha Allred killed in Bridford Parkway collision Greensboro

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Each year, pedestrian fatalities continue to rise across U.S. roadways, many of which are preventable if drivers remain attentive behind the wheel. The Governors Highway Safety Association reported that approximately 2,304 pedestrians were killed in the first half of 2024.

“Proper resources are essential when investigating pedestrian accident cases to establish negligence,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

“Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must all be carefully evaluated. These elements play a crucial role in determining liability and ensuring justice for victims,” Bond explained.

“In some cases, accident reconstruction teams are required to fully understand how a crash occurred. These efforts are key in helping victims’ families pursue compensation after a loss,” added Bond, a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

“It is generally the responsibility of drivers to yield to pedestrians,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. The family of Tieisha Allred may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim.

“Families of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for lost income, companionship, pain and suffering, funeral costs, and emotional distress,” Formica said. He added that an attorney can help guide families through the legal process while protecting their rights.

“Insurance companies often attempt to pressure victims into accepting settlements that are far below what a case may be worth,” Formica noted. “An attorney will advocate on behalf of the family to ensure fair treatment and proper compensation.”
