Apartment Fire Injures Resident, Raises Questions

A three-alarm fire engulfed eight apartment units in Grapevine earlier this week, injuring one resident when he was forced to escape the blaze. While the cause of the fire remains uncertain, what is certain is that this accident raises questions about just how safe the apartment complex really was – and whether the landlord or management company appropriately guarded against the risk of fire.

Personal injuries happen every day and in a variety of ways, but one of the most tragic is when they happen in the home. Although a state laws and municipal ordinances are supposed to keep tenants safe, these rules are only effective when landlords comply with them. Throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth, a significant number of apartments do not comply with these regulations and, as a result, needlessly put residents at risk of injury.

Have you been injured as a result of obvious or hidden risks in your apartment? If so, you may be entitled to recover against the owner of the property who is responsible for keeping the premises safe.

Were You Injured by a Dallas Motorcyclist?

Last year, more than 100 motorcycle riders unexpectedly shut down Central Expressway, one of Dallas’s main thoroughfares. After blocking traffic, they spray painted graffiti on public roadways and engaged in a number of dangerous driving tricks.

This year, Dallas police were on guard at several locations, protecting major city highways against the possibility of a recurrence of last year’s Memorial Day mishaps. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they didn’t happen on a smaller scale.

As last year’s Memorial Day disruptions demonstrate, Dallas’s motorcyclists have a reputation for risky, dangerous, rule-breaking behavior. You may be familiar with their reckless driving. In fact, you may have even suffered as a result. If you’ve sustained property damage or personal injury because of a Dallas motorcycle rider, you should contact the professionals at Fears | Nachawati.

Who Protects the Rights of CPS Kids?

Child Protective Services (CPS) is an important state agency charged with protecting children from abuse and neglect. Unfortunately, some local offices of this state agency have been failing in their responsibilities.

In San Antonio’s Bexar County, 20 children died last fiscal year while in the care of CPS-authorized caregivers; 15 have perished in just the first eight months of this fiscal year. In Dallas, a CPS investigator was suspended earlier this year amidst allegations of his sexual relationship with a minor.

It’s important to recognize that CPS isn’t the only way that children are protected from personal injury. In some cases, a guardian ad litem can bring a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of the child. If you’re concerned CPS isn’t effectively protecting a child or young person you care about, exploring this possibility may be a step you should consider.

Are You an Obese Victim?

Hospitals around the country are recognizing an important demographic trend: Americans are getting larger. To address the needs of plus-sized patients, hospitals have acquired stretchers that can carry 500-pound patients, larger beds, and floor-mounted rather than wall-mounted toilets, to name just a few changes.

Hospitals adopting these changes are moving in a responsible direction. Unfortunately, however, far too many businesses are slow in taking these steps. As a result, they serve customers in conditions that are unsafe for obese patrons. It’s important to recognize: businesses can limit whom they serve. However, if they chose to provide for overweight customers, they must do so safely.

Are you a plus-sized person who was injured in a restaurant, shopping center, or other facility because the business failed to offer safe furniture or sufficient walkways? You may have a valid legal claim as a result of the physical injury or emotional distress you’ve experienced. Find out if your rights were violated by contacting the lawyers and dedicated professionals at Fears | Nachawati.

Dallas Police Brutality Victims Settles for Six Figures

In September 2010, six Dallas police officers severely beat an African-American man after a brief car chase. Now, roughly a year and a half after the incident, reports indicate that the victim of DPD police brutality has settled for roughly $500,000.

In many situations, justice delayed is justice denied. And in this case, the victim can never fully recover from the physical pain and emotional trauma of unfair treatment at the hands of law enforcement. Still, a mid-six figure settlement is a good start down the road to recovery.

The attorneys at the law firm of Fears | Nachawati are committed to protecting the rights of personal injury victims. Regardless of how the injury occurs – whether it’s an automobile accident, a physical altercation between private individuals, or an instance of police using excessive force – you deserve the full protection the law provides.

Dallas Cycling Advocate in Accident

A Dallas resident and noted proponent of local cycling was injured this week when a car unexpectedly struck him. Tragically, the accident caused the cyclist very serious personal injuries, including a broken neck, broken pelvis, and broken ribs.

Unfortunately, these kind of life-threatening injuries are all too common in automobile-bicycle accidents. Although helmets and other kind of preventative measures can help protect cyclists, the reality is that a high speed, forceful collision between car and bike is often too powerful, overwhelming the biker’s protections. As a result, the cyclist sustains the kind of injuries seen in Dallas this week.
