Gilbert Urbano Jr. Killed in Grimes County Head-On Crash

HEAD-ON CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Driver error is the most common cause of head-on accidents. Other contributing factors can include speeding, distracted driving, drunken driving, poor road design, inexperienced drivers and driver confusion.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 40,901 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2023, representing a 4.3% decrease from 2022 and the second consecutive annual decline.

“Contributing factors to be examined include road conditions, visibility, and lighting,” 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, an experienced auto accident attorney.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of a victim could pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress after a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand what families must go through, and protecting their rights is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will remain informed about the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
