Dallas Driver Slams into Local Mall

It may sound absurd, but Friday morning a Dallas driver drove his truck into Southwest Center Mall, slamming into interior fixtures and finally coming to rest in a sporting goods store. To make matters more bizarre, the man was driving naked – and decided to dress himself in clothes he found after his truck came to a stop in the store’s entryway.

Admittedly, this accident is unusual. However, the risk that today’s events suggest – that careless or reckless drivers might inadvertently slam into a building or home – is far from absurd. In fact, virtually every month a driver somewhere in North Texas loses control of his car and careens into a home or commercial building.

What should you do if an out-of-control driver damages your property? Fortunately, the law is on your side. You just have to know what steps to take. Your first step should be to contact the professionals at Fears | Nachawati. With years of automobile accident experience and dedicated expertise, we’re prepared to help you.

Headphones Prove Fatal to North Texas Teen

A North Texas teenager died last weekend when a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train struck him as he walked near the tracks. Walker County investigators point to an unexpected source – the young man’s headphones – as the principal cause of the accident. Witness statements suggest that the man was listening to music and never heard the train approaching. Tragically, it seems that what he was listening to may have inadvertently cost him his life.

Whether they are in the ears of pedestrians or drivers, headphones can be dangerous distractions. And as the prevalence of music-playing cell phones increases, the risk that distraction will lead to injury or even death increases, too.

Were headphones – and the distractions they often cause – involved in your recent accident? Do you want to know whether those headphones might influence your legal liability or potential recovery?

Number of Uninsured Texas Drivers Declines, Improves Likelihood of Recovery

For drivers involved in an automobile accident, one of the most challenging barriers to recovery for personal injury and property damage is the extent to which the responsible driver is insured. Unfortunately for many accident victims, some careless drivers are underinsured or uninsured and, as a result, fail to fully pay for the harm they cause.

Fortunately, there’s good news: in the last year, the number of uninsured drivers in Texas has fallen by nearly 40 percent, according to the Texas Department of Insurance. Although the number of uninsured or underinsured drivers – 2.6 million – is still remarkably high, this number is down considerably from its 2011 figure, 4.2 million Texans. Officials report that the significant downshift is the result of getting improperly insured drivers off the road and cleaning up the state’s database.

Have you been involved in an accident with an underinsured or uninsured driver? You may have options that you haven’t considered.

18-Wheeler Accident Puts Fort Worth Drivers at Risk

Drivers in Fort Worth were put in far greater danger than many realized earlier this week when an 18-wheeler driver lost control of his big rig, turning over and spilling 300 gallons of fuel on the roadway as well as thousands of pounds of lumber. With temperatures and risk running high, everyone involved was fortunate that the combustible situation didn’t turn into a dangerous, destructive, and potentially deadly inferno.

18-wheelers carry not only a lot of weight, but a lot of risk – for drivers and other motorists alike. Although they represent only 3 percent of America’s vehicles, they account for nearly half a million accident annually. Whether a trucking accident is caused by driver carelessness, a tire blowout, or a poorly rigged load, these collisions are often serious for everyone involved.

If you’ve been involved in a trucking accident you may need legal advice as to your rights and possible remedies.

Austin Accident a Warning for Dallas Drivers

Motorcyclists from across Texas and around the country descended on Austin’s famed 6^th Street last weekend to celebrate the Republic of Texas (ROT) Rally. Tragically, however, what was supposed to be a celebration of motorcycle riding was fatal for three motorcycle drivers in three separate Austin-area accidents.

Unfortunately, fatal motorcycle accidents are simply all too common. Reckless driving on the part of cyclists and motorists as well as the immutable danger associated with riding a motorcycle frequently result in serious injuries and fatalities.

Poor Road Causes Drivers to Drive Car into Lake

Dallas’s Lake Ray Hubbard was the site of a costly – and nearly fatal – automobile accident this weekend. On Saturday, a driver, Ngac Do, and her passenger drove onto a boat ramp, thinking it was an onramp, and directly into Lake Ray Hubbard. Both driver and passenger were trapped inside as the waters rose around their car, only escaping when a Rockwall Deputy Sherriff saved them.

Automobile accidents happen at times – and in ways – that you least expect. And sometimes the party responsible for the accident isn’t even a participant in the accident at all. Sometimes it’s the negligent driver who causes the accident but escapes any damage. Other times, such as Saturday’s late night crash, it’s an institution, like the City of Dallas, the entity that owns and operates the negligently designed and unnecessarily dangerous roadway that leads directly into the lake.

When these kinds of “ghost causes” are responsible for your accident, it can be hard to know how to move forward. Thankfully, the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati are prepared for the situation you’re handling. With years of experience and courtroom tested expertise, we’re ready to help you. Just give us a call!
