DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

This type of accident was preventable. Impaired drivers pose a serious danger to everyone on the roadway and can cause devastating consequences.

“Drunken and drugged drivers are subject to criminal charges following an accident or collision that causes harm or kills another person,’’ explained Candice Bond, a Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

She added, “Separate from criminal charges, a victim’s family may also be eligible to pursue compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party.”

According to the National Safety Council, 10 percent of all fatal automobile accidents are caused by drivers operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other medications. These crashes are the second-leading cause of automobile fatalities in the United States.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Veronda Tyndall may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often pursue a personal injury claim to help cover medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often unconcerned with the growing costs that an injured victim may face. An attorney can assist in protecting victims, ensuring that insurance companies are held accountable and provide fair compensation,” he added.
