Motor vehicle crashes claim thousands of lives annually, with speeding, impaired driving, lane violations, failure to yield, and distracted driving being common factors. Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and an experienced accident attorney, emphasizes the importance of an independent investigation in such cases. Beyond law enforcement efforts, an attorney can re-interview witnesses, analyze surveillance footage, and obtain crucial records, ensuring a comprehensive review of evidence. Time is of the essence, and swift action is crucial for the victim’s family to pursue justice.
