Van Buren Man Hurt in Crawford County Hit-and-Run on I-44

CRASH INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, yet statistics show that approximately 11% of all crashes involve a hit-and-run driver.

In many hit-and-run cases, the at-fault driver believes they can avoid consequences by fleeing the scene. However, suspects face charges once they are identified and apprehended.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run and pedestrian accident attorney, said that in cases like this, it’s critical to have an independent investigation conducted promptly by a seasoned attorney to protect the victim’s rights.

“Having the right resources is essential to investigating a hit-and-run case and proving negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and an analyst for Accident Injury News. “Road conditions, signage visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors that must be thoroughly considered. These steps are necessary to help someone injured by a hit-and-run driver obtain the justice and compensation they deserve.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, noted that the stress of a serious injury can be overwhelming, disrupting every aspect of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.

“It’s vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, as this allows them to negotiate with the insurance company on the client’s behalf,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims into accepting a quick settlement for far less than the case is worth. An attorney, however, will vigorously advocate for their clients to ensure they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
