CRASH INVESTIGATION\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nCandice Bond, an experienced tractor-trailer accident attorney, said in such cases, it’s imperative to have an independent investigation conducted promptly to protect a victim\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cTractor-trailer crashes are often complex, and many factors can play a role in these types of accidents,\u201d said Bond, who is a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cA skilled attorney can protect victims from trucking companies, which often send their own investigators to crash sites and possess a variety of resources they can utilize to defend a negligent truck driver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n“Your lawyer can advocate for you by hiring expert witnesses, conducting drivers\u2019 background checks, locating witnesses to the crash, and reviewing applicable insurance coverage, while carefully guiding a victim through the legal process.\u201d<\/p>\n
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nIsabel Torres may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.<\/p>\n
\nBond said, \u201cInjured 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.<\/p>\n
\n“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,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
