North Texas Storms Impact North Texas Traffic

Heavy, violent showers last night didn’t just gorge North Texas streams and rivers, but also North Texas roadways today as downed tree branches, wet roads, and, in a few cases, high water impeded traditional traffic patterns.

Slower commutes isn’t the only effect commonly associated with thunderstorms. Unfortunately, storms often cause an increase in automobile accidents. By limiting visibility, adding new obstacles like pelting rain, standing water, and downed branches, and prompting sudden, unexpected stops, thunderstorms decreases safety and significantly increase the incidence of collision.

What should you do if your car was damaged or if you were hurt as a result of a thunderstorm-related automobile accident? Do you have questions about whether you’ll be able to recover from your insurance provider or from the insurance company of the person who struck you?

Aging Motorcyclists Present New Considerations

Riding a motorcycle is no longer a young man’s game. In 2006, nearly half of all motorcycle fatalities involved riders older than 40. That’s up from 30 percent in 1996 and more than four times higher than the 13 percent of over-the-hill riders in 1990.

The aging of America’s motorcycle riders carries with it important implications, such as the amount insurance riders have and the value of assets they control. In the context of a fight over whether a negligent motorcyclist should pay for the personal injury and property damage you’ve sustained, these considerations become crucially important.

Are you ready to find out how the careless motorcycle driver who contributed to your accident may be legally responsible for the harm he or she has caused? Talk to the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati today. With years of experience and dedicated expertise, we know how to guide you through the challenges associated with negotiating and, if necessary, litigating the responsibility of your accident.

Deadly Motorcycle Accident Demonstrates Risk

What will happen if you or your loved one is injured while driving a motorcycle? Unfortunately, it’s a question too few motorcyclists and their loved ones ask. However, given the dangers of riding a motorcycle, it’s an important issue to consider.

The truck driver suffered a broken neck; the motorcyclist died at the scene of the accident.

Out-of-Gas Car Injures Children

Two girls died this week when the car in which they were riding ran out of gas on I-35. Of course, the accident wasn’t only tragic, but entirely avoidable. Moreover, the horrifying accident not only took their lives, but also injured five others.

Most people recognize that members of society have an ethical obligation to care for one another. What you may not realize is that we have certain legal obligations as well.

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, you may have questions about how you should interact with a number of other parties, such as your insurance provider, the person who struck you, and their insurance provider.

UT Southwestern Fire Puts Workers Health at Risk

You probably don’t think very often about the possibility of fire at your workplace.

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.

Reckless Driver Slams into Parked Car

Most automobile accidents occur between two drivers who are driving on surface streets or highways. Of course, that’s not always the way automobile accidents occur. For thousands of victims every year, a reckless driver strikes a parked car, causing property damage and giving rise to both insurance and legal claims.

This is exactly what happened early yesterday morning in Dallas when the getaway driver to a crime struck several cars in his attempt to evade police. Although attempted theft and an ensuing police chase aren’t the usual reasons that a driver is distracted, the result – property damage and costly claims – is exactly the same as if a ringing cell phone, crying baby, or blaring radio would have prompted the accident.

Fears | Nachawati helps automobile accident victims, whether they are involved in a highway collision or merely the driver who parked in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you or your car has been involved in an accident, you should give us a call. Regardless of whether it’s a fender bender or a catastrophic crash, you need an expert’s appraisal of what you’ve experienced. Contact us today!
