Police: Brett Wilborn fatally struck in Conroe hit-and-run collision

CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Leaving the scene of a crash is both reckless and dangerous, often denying victims the immediate aid that could save their lives. In 2023, 2,872 fatalities involved hit-and-run drivers. Among the 7,314 pedestrian deaths that year, 1,818 — or 25% — occurred in hit-and-run incidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

“In many situations, pedestrians have the right of way when crossing a street or intersection, whether or not they are in a marked crosswalk,” said Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.

Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal, emphasized that an independent investigation is crucial in cases like this to safeguard the victim’s rights.

“Access to proper investigative resources is vital in any pedestrian accident case to ensure that evidence is thoroughly collected and analyzed so investigators can determine whether negligence contributed to the tragedy,” Bond added.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Depending on the findings of the investigation, the family of Brett Wilborn may pursue a wrongful death claim for the loss of love, care, and companionship.

“The grief and emotional burden after losing a loved one in such a sudden manner can be incredibly overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“We understand the hardship families endure, and ensuring their rights remain protected is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the ongoing investigation and work to uphold the family’s legal rights and overall best interests.”
