Helicopter Crash Underscores Risks of Personal Injury


The risk for personal injury is all around us. In Ellis County this week, a helicopter crashed unexpectedly, putting the lives of the copter’s two pilots in jeopardy. Incredibly, both walked away from the horrifying accident without injury.

This week’s pilots were unexpectedly fortunate. However, the reality is that in homes, apartments, job sites, and public areas throughout North Texas, the potential for injury is as real as it is unpredictable. When it happens, it’s important to know what to do.

Whether you’re in an automobile accident, boating crash, house fire, motorcycle wreck, or any number of other situations that cause personal injury or property damage, you should contact the attorneys at the Dallas law firm of Fears | Nachawati.

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. Find out about their liability and your potential claims by talking to the attorneys and professionals at Fears | Nachawati today.

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.

Bus Carrying College Students Catches on Fire

For thirty students at Austin College, the otherwise routine trip to D/FW International Airport became a frightening and unforgettable experience earlier this week.

Somewhere on the road between Sherman and Dallas, the Austin College men and women’s basketball teams’ plans were derailed when their charter bus caught on fire. Fortunately, all of the passengers were able to escape the bus’s engine fire before they suffered injuries related to either smoke inhalation or burns. However, that’s not always the case. More frequently than you might imagine, buses are involved in serious automobile accidents that hurt their passengers and fellow drivers.

The reason for the heightened risks associated with buses makes sense, even though most passengers rarely think about it. Buses are considerably more likely to tip than cars, they have huge and unavoidable blind spots, and they are sometimes driven extreme distances and for unprecedented lengths of time.

If you’ve been involved in an accident with a bus, you may need a legal representative who understands the nuances of why automobile accidents happen and how the legal interests of victims are impacted. The attorneys at Fears | Nachawati are prepared to provide you with precisely those legal services.

UT Southwestern Fire Puts Workers Health at Risk

You probably don’t think very often about the possibility of fire at your workplace. And in all likelihood, neither did the hundred-or-so University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center employees who fled their brand new, state-of-the-art medical facility today when a fire broke out near the top floor. Fortunately for workers across D/FW, the risk of fire-related accidents and injuries is the kind of contingency we consider on a regular basis.

The attorneys at the Dallas law firm Fears | Nachawati often think about the kind of not uncommon problems that most people would rather ignore. We ask questions like, “What happens if you’re in a car accident?” and “Will most insurance policies cover you if your passenger is injured in your car wreck?” As we see it, our job is to make sure that your legal interests are protected in the event that what you’d rather not consider happens. As a result, we’re prepared to deal with all kinds of contingencies – including what to do if you’re injured when your brand new office building catches on fire.

Jet Fuel Tanker Accident Puts North Texas Drivers at Risk

Incredibly, no one was hurt in a truck accident near Roanoke, Texas, just north of Fort Worth, yesterday that destroyed a tanker truck and a Jeep and threatened many more drivers. When the Jeep and truck collided, the truck’s 5,600 gallons of jet fuel detonated, causing a fire that burned for more than five hours.

The accident isn’t particularly remarkable – violent car and truck accidents happen almost every day, but the fact that such a violent wreck didn’t injury anyone is a surprise. With conditions dry and windy, the intense, long-burning fire could have easily started a brush fire similar to the wildfires that have engulfed large areas of Texas this summer. Moreover, head-on collisions between trucks and cars are often fatal – and frequently lead to collateral accidents and injuries, too!

Are you one of the hundreds of Americans involved in a car or truck accident this month? If so, you may need legal protection to help you protect your rights. Give us a call – we’re ready to help you! For your free consultation with a Fears | Nachawati lawyer, call 1.866.705.7584 or send an email to info@fnlawfirm.com. We can help!

Dallas Warehouse Fire Threatens Community

An extremely large warehouse storing, among other items, a variety and large quantity of dangerous, pool-related chemicals caught fire recently, threatening to spread to other buildings in the vicinity. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will soon initiate an investigation of the fire—and for good reason! Chemical fires aerosolize dangerous toxins; water used to put out the blaze also frequently conveys carcinogenic chemical compounds into the water supply.

Fires are dangerous. Chemical fires can be lethal. They often burn hotter and longer, trigger explosions, and spread dangerous toxins into the air and water. Fears | Nachawati understand this. We also understand how to protect you against these risks and, if you’re injured, recover the compensation you deserve. If you’ve been hurt in a chemical fire, give us a call at 1.866.705.7584 or email info@fnlawfirm.com. We can help!
