Walnut Ridge Crash Kills Passenger Landon Ellis at U.S. 67 Junction

FATAL CRASH INVESTIGATION

The family of Mr. Ellis is now left to grieve his sudden and untimely death.

During this difficult time, it’s important for families who have lost a loved one to seek legal representation. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can independently gather evidence surrounding the crash and negotiate with insurance companies, which often push families toward settlements far below what a wrongful death case may actually be worth.

“Insurance companies are financially motivated to limit compensation and don’t take into account the long-term consequences and suffering victims’ families will ultimately face,” said Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney and Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Attorneys fight hard on behalf of their clients to make sure they’re treated fairly and compensated appropriately,” added Bond, a national analyst with Accident Injury News.

Roughly 36,000 people are killed and another 1.9 million are injured in motor vehicle crashes across the country each year. Per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding remains the leading cause of fatal crashes annually, followed by impairment from alcohol, drugs, or medication, failure to remain in the proper lane, failure to yield the right of way, and distracted driving.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family of Landon Ellis may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims can seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We know firsthand what families endure in these situations, and protecting their rights is essential,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. “A wrongful death attorney stays closely engaged with the ongoing investigation and works to safeguard the family’s best interests. Relatives of wrongful death victims have the right to pursue damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
