William Simms and 4 Teens Killed in Grand Junction Wreck

CRASH INVESTIGATION

“It is imperative to determine the exact cause of any accident. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

Bond said that in cases such as this, an independent investigation is crucial to preserving evidence.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully examine factors that may have contributed to the crash,” Bond said. “A lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct drivers’ background checks, locate witnesses to the crash and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what can be a complicated process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of a victim may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

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

“We understand what families are forced to go through, and protecting their rights is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will remain updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected,” Formica added.
