Lake Ray Hubbard Accident Marks First of Season

Spring and summer are wonderful seasons in North Texas. The sun shines brightly, lake waters are cool, and friends come together to rest, relax, and party. Tragically, Texas lakes aren’t just places for fun, but are also common sites of serious personal injury.

This week marked one of the first lakeside injuries in North Texas. In a marina on Dallas’s Lake Ray Hubbard, two boats unexpectedly caught fire, injuring one man. At this point, it remains unclear why the boats caught fire or how the man was injured.

Dallas Woman Encounters Dangerous, Defective Health Device

For one Dallas woman, buying a tampon was anything but an ordinary experience. After returning home from the store, she noticed a discoloration on her Kotex tampons. She ultimately learned that the black spots on her tampons were more than mere discoloration. They were mold spores. What’s more, had she used it, this Kimberly Clark medical product could have caused serious medical problems for the woman.

Have you noticed strange aberrations in the household products you purchase, such as mold spores on your tampons, extremely hot coffee from your coffee pot, or bugs in places where bugs usually aren’t present? Defect household products are more common than you think, especially in a year in which many American manufacturers are struggling with a down economy and intense global competition. For some, the results are cut corners – and defective products!

If you’ve been injured as a result of your everyday household goods, you should contact the legal professionals at Fears | Nachawati immediately. With years of experience and dedicated expertise, we know how to represent your consumer claims. For your free consultation, call 1.866.322.6898 or email us at http://www.fnlawfirm.com/contact.cfm.

After Accident Confrontation Highlights Risks

Last weekend, a police officer was injured when a routine traffic stop turned violent. When a suspect was asked to step out of his vehicle he became confrontational and ultimately resisted arrest. Before the altercation was over, one officer was unable to stand as a result of injuries to his knees.

Traffic accidents often produce physical injuries. Unfortunately, sometimes injuries occur after the accident, too. Angry drivers and hot tempers frequently result in pushing, shoving and even more violent acts after two cars collide. If you’ve been involved in an after-accident altercation, you should talk to the professionals at Fears | Nachawati.

Injuries resulting from an automobile accident or a related fight can significantly shape the viability of your legal rights. Find out how by contacting us today. For your free consultation, call 1.866.322.6898 or email us at http://www.fnlawfirm.com/contact.cfm.

Shared Decisions, Shared Liability

A woman in Irving was struck by a car and hurt as she was trying to cross Northwest Highway. An investigation of the accident revealed that a man with whom the woman was travelling called out to her, encouraging her to cross the intersection, and directly leading to her accident. He advised her despite being drunk. The question that this situation raises is clear: to what extent was the man responsible for the woman’s injuries?

Shared decisions often result in shared liability. In fact, in many cases these shared decisions can have a significant impact on the damages that negligent parties must pay. Have you or a loved one been injured? Did another person’s decisions cause the accident? Find out how these decisions may have influenced your legal rights by talking to the professionals at Fears | Nachawati today.

What Are Dram Shop Laws?

Some stores sell liquor by the dram or in a small amount. In an attempt to impose legal liability on these purveyors of spirits, legislatures and jurists throughout the United States have crafted a body of law known as dram shop laws. In general, these laws tie responsibility between the business that poured an excessive drink and the driver who drank to excess and, as a result, caused a car accident.

How do these laws affect the legal consequences of your accident? The results may be more significant than you might think. To find out everything you need to know about alcohol-related liability in the context of automobile accidents, talk to the experts at Fears | Nachawati.

Wrong Way Driver Raises Important Legal Issues

I-20 wasn’t just a highway Sunday morning. It was also the scene of a crime, and the location of a tort with related damages that could extend into the millions.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, a drunk driver whose blood alcohol content (BAC) was three times the legal limit hopped on I-20 going east. The problem: he was in a westbound lane. Just a few terrifying minutes later, the SUV slammed into a Chevy Monte Carlo head-on, killing the drunk driver’s passenger and sending the driver of the sedan to a nearby hospital.

Drunk driving and wrong way accidents happen all too often. Perhaps even more tragic, however, is that many victims don’t pursue their legal rights. They only think of their accident as an accident, not a legal event. That’s understandable, but it’s costly. Victims of drunk driving accidents and their families can receive damage awards and compensation stretching into the millions. Victims who don’t act, walk away from dollars that could help them rebuild their lives.
