Tony Fulwood Sr. Fatally Struck in Dearing Hit-and-Run Accident

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In most hit-and-run cases, the at-fault driver may attempt to avoid responsibility by fleeing the scene. However, once identified, such individuals face serious criminal charges under state law.

Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense, yet data shows hit-and-run crashes remain a persistent issue across U.S. roadways, occurring frequently each day.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized the importance of prompt and independent investigation in such cases to protect victims’ rights.

“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.

She added that investigators examine factors such as road conditions, visibility, and lighting to help establish how the crash occurred.

“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 family of Tony Fulwood 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,” 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 lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
