Arlington Two-Alarm Fire Destroys Apartment Complex

Last weekend, a fire raged across the Lodge at Legacy Park, an Arlington apartment complex, heavily damaging four units and threatening dozens more. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured, however, Dallas fires are a major cause of injury to persons and property. Annually, Dallas’ thousands of fires destroy more than $30 million in property.

Fire insurance is supposed to cover sustained damage. Fire insurers, however, sometimes underpay valid claims, litigate with claimants, wrongfully accusing them of attempted fraud, and delay payment in hopes of reducing the amount of money they are ultimately required to pay to claimants.

Fears | Nachawati knows how to protect you against a fire insurer that refuses to pay your legitimate claims. If you’re property has been destroyed in a fire, talk to our experts. For a free consultation, call 1.866.705.7584 or email info@fnlawfirm.com. Let us help you!

Mazda Spider Infestation Forces Recall of 65,000 Cars

In February, Mazda recalled 65,000 Mazda 6 sedans after the car manufacturer learned that yellow sac spiders from the Flat Rock, Michigan assembly plant had infested thousands of cars. The voluntary recall was wise. Although the bites of yellow sac spiders are not as serious as brown recluse spiders, they are serious, causing a painful sting, redness, swelling, blisters and mild illness.

Mazda’s recall, however, failed to return all of the infested cars from the market. Several Dallas-area Mazda 6 owners have noticed yellow sac spiders crawling in their car and the possessions they keep in them. Some have been bitten and all have suffered a significant diminution in the car’s value.

Do you own a Mazda 6? Have you noticed yellow sac spiders in your car? If so, you may have a viable cause of action against the dealership that sold you the car as well as Mazda, the producer of the dangerous product.

Dallas-area Teacher Sexually Assaults Student

Amy Schilling, a 33 year-old teacher in Carrollton ISD, was arrested last week on charges of sexually assaulting a juvenile. Carrollton police acted on a report that the R.L. Turner High School teacher had an inappropriate, illegal relationship with a minor.

Teacher-student sexual abuse is a greater problem than many people realize. According to the Counter Pedophilia Investigative Unit (CPIU), 15 percent of students, more than 7 million juveniles, are sexually abused by a member of the school staff during their career. Disturbingly, most cases are never reported, nearly half of all perpetrators are repeat offenders and only 15 percent of teachers are fired.

Has your child been the victim of a teacher’s sexually assault? You should talk to the injury experts at Fears | Nachawati. The teacher should be held civilly as well as criminally responsible, of course. But is the school district also complicit in protecting teachers instead of students from the repercussions of sexual assault? It’s important to raise this question – and many more like them – as you consider how your family should respond.
