"Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide the heartbroken family of a victim during this difficult time, protecting their legal rights and best interests while ensuring that a driver is held accountable if they do not obey traffic laws," said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.
"An incident is considered a personal injury when either a person or entity commits a wrongful or negligent act resulting in a person's injuries," said Stefano Formica, of Bond Legal"When vehicle accidents result from unsafe driving, aggressive or distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence, victims usually are left with the option to pursue a civil action."
