Devastating Train Accident in Arlington

An 18-wheeler driver is in a D/FW area hospital tonight after an Amtrak train slammed into his big rig, destroying the truck and putting his health and future at risk.

Train accidents happen more frequently than many Dallas and Fort Worth residents realize. With hundreds of railroads in operation and thousands of miles of track crisscrossing the country, train accidents are bound to happen. While some are the result of dangerous truck or car driving, many are the result of train company failures, such as careless conducting or improper maintenance.

Driver Backs Over Arlington Cyclist

You may not realize it, but reverse can be as dangerous a gear on your transmission as drive. The highly diminished vision associated with driving backwards produces an astonishing number of accidents every year. In fact, some estimate that as many as thirty percent of the more than 1 million accidents that occur annually in the U.S. are the result of driving in reverse, not moving forward.

Unfortunately, a pickup truck driver and cyclist are some of the latest data points in those surprising statistics. Late last week, an Arlington cyclist was peddling through her morning ride when a truck driver started to reverse out of his driveway. In just a moment, the driver struck the cyclist. To make matters worse, the driver kept driving briefly, thinking that he had a flat tire instead of a person under his truck.

For drivers and cyclists alike, accidents in reverse are a more serious area of concern than most realize.

Three Die in Arlington Collision

A car crowded with five young people became a scene of horror and tragedy this morning when the driver lost control and slammed into a tree. Although it remains unclear how fast the car was travelling or whether alcohol was involved, the remains of the car speak volumes: the vehicle was split in half by the force of the impact. Two brothers, the driver and a front seat passenger, were killed immediately. A woman in the back seat died at the hospital shortly after the accident. Two more young men were rushed to the hospital. All of the people in the car were less than 21 years old.

Accidents involving young drivers happen significantly more frequently than older drivers. Factors such as youth, inexperience, distractions, high speeds, and alcohol combine to make for extremely dangerous conditions.

Arlington 18-Wheeler Accident Kills Driver

Late yesterday an 18-wheeler driver lost control of his big rig and drove off of Interstate-20 just past the intersection of I-20 and Highway 360. The weight of the truck, the force of its momentum, and the dry, hard-packed dirt near the highway made it impossible to stop the 18-wheeler before the rig slammed into a nearby culvert. Unfortunately, although emergency crews struggled to rescue the driver from the mangled cab, the driver died.

With so many 18-wheelers on the road, it’s easy to forget how dangerous these powerful, hard-to-control behemoths can be. For big rig drivers and car drivers alike, forgetting that lesson can be fatal, as yesterday’s tragic accident reminds us.

Arlington’s Texting-While-Driving Ban Underscores Frequently Fatal Risk

Smart phones have led to some dumb decisions in recent years. This year, for instance, thousands of drivers – many of them teenagers – will be injured or killed as a result of using their phone while driving. Talking and driving is dangerous, but it’s texting-while-driving that is particularly risky – and most frequently fatal.

The City of Arlington is taking action. Earlier this week, the City Council passed a partial ban on cell phone use that is set to go into effect before Thanksgiving. D/FW drivers passing through the City of Arlington can still use their phone as a phone, they just can’t text-while-driving or surf the web on their smart phone.

The City of Arlington ban suggests what many drivers have intuitively known for years: texting-while-driving constitutes risky behavior. If you’re involved in an accident as a result of another driver’s decision to text-and-drive, you likely have a strong case that their reckless decision-making contributed to your loss and suffering.

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!

Arlington Man Electrocuted During Yard Work

Tragically, an Arlington man was electrocuted and died earlier this week during routine yard work when his hedge trimmer contacted a power line. His unexpected death raises important questions about the safety of yard equipment and the extent to which the City of Arlington and Dallas-area electrical service providers have marked power lines. In general, businesses that impose risks on customers and the public are responsible for putting the community on notice of those risks.

Arlington Police Tase Innocent Bystander

For the second time in as many weeks, citizens are questioning the conduct of the Arlington Police Department. Yesterday, an Arlington police officer mistakenly tased Jonathan Pierce, a Navy veteran and innocent bystander. Standing at the wrong place at the wrong time, the officer tased Pierce because he believed him to be a fleeing suspect. However, except for the fact that Pierce and the suspect both were wearing basketball jerseys, no other connection tied the two men together.

Mr. Pierce’s treatment at the hands of the Arlington Police Department may constitute police brutality and a violation of Mr. Pierce’s civil rights. Police officers and municipal officials are not immune to legal action. If you’ve been harassed by local police, you may have a viable legal claim.

Arlington Man Wrongfully Accused, Imprisoned for Murder

Francisco Daniel Romero lost nine days of his life and faced the fear of punishment for murder because of a clerical error that remains unsatisfactorily explained. Pulled over for an expired inspection sticker, Romero had the misfortune of having a name similar to Francisco Javier Romero, a suspect in a 1999 shooting death. The Arlington police, who stand by their officers’ decisions, detained Mr. Romero despite the fact that neither a photograph nor a driver’s license number matched Mr. Romero to the suspect.

Civil rights violations constitute important civil causes of actions. Successful suits can frequently result in apologies from the offending institution and monetary damages.
