Police: Truck crash kills bicyclist Thomas Turnbull on Akron Drive

CRASH INVESTIGATION

In tractor-trailer crashes, it is critical that an independent investigation be conducted as quickly as possible to help protect the rights of a victim, said Candice Bond, an experienced tractor-trailer accident attorney.

“Crashes involving large commercial trucks are often complex, with multiple contributing factors,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

Bond explained that trucking companies frequently dispatch their own investigators to crash scenes and have extensive resources to defend against claims involving negligent drivers.

“A qualified attorney can advocate for victims by retaining expert witnesses, reviewing driver histories, identifying witnesses, and analyzing applicable insurance coverage, while carefully guiding victims and families through the legal process,” she added.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The victim’s family may be able to seek compensation for losses including expenses related to the death, lost income, loss of companionship, and other resulting hardships.

“The death of a family member in an accident is tragic and deeply devastating,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal.

Formica noted that beyond the emotional toll, the loss of a loved one can create serious financial consequences, including lost wages and funeral expenses, which can place a significant burden on surviving family members.
