PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

This tragic accident highlights the daily risks faced by pedestrians across the country.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 7,522 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2022, the highest number recorded since 1981. Pedestrian deaths made up about 17% of all traffic fatalities that year, reflecting a concerning rise in such incidents.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is often utilized to help determine exactly what occurred. These resources are vital in assisting clients in obtaining compensation for losses after a crash,” Bond added.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of William Clifton Kirby may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may pursue compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“We understand the hardships that families face, and it’s crucial to protect their rights. A wrongful death lawyer will stay informed on the official investigation and work to ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
