CRASH INVESTIGATION

Wrong-way driving represents a significant safety hazard on American roadways, with approximately 3.7% of fatal crashes on divided highways attributed to wrong-way driving.

While different agencies report varying figures, the scope of the problem is consistently alarming. According to the Federal Highway Administration, about 500 people die each year in the United States in wrong-way crashes, while a study conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board estimates that an average of 350 people die every year because of a wrong way driving accident in the U.S.

These statistics highlight the deadly nature of wrong-way incidents, which typically involve head-on collisions and result in severe or fatal injuries for those involved.

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

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Yazan Aljayousi may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
