Elevated Highway Elevates Fears, Risk

A Fort Worth accident today underscores just how unique – and dangerous – urban interstates can be. After losing control of his truck, the driver’s truck crashed through a guardrail on Interstate 20, flipped off the highway and landed in a tree near Loop 820 and I-20. Incredibly, the man only sustained cuts and bruises and was promptly rescued.

Elevated highways impose elevated risks on drivers. Although off-the-highway accidents like today’s don’t happen frequently, when they do the effect is often serious – or fatal. Moreover, the presence of elevated highways and the accidents they make worse also raise an important legal question: is the reckless driver responsible for not only the accident, but also the effects of the accident, such as falling off the highway?

DART Takes Woman’s Life

DART’s newest Green Line takes thousands of Dallas residents back and forth to work every day. Tragically, however, the Green Line took a life yesterday. According to initial reports, a woman walking near the train tracks in South Dallas was struck and killed by a northbound train. DART suspended train service for two and half hours while it investigated the accident, but resumed the route soon after.

This isn’t the first DART-related casualty this year. And as many Dallas residents remember, several Dallas-area schoolchildren were injured last May when a DART operated escalator malfunctioned, throwing children down the flight of stairs.

Accidents involving public transit may not be as commonplace as automobile accidents, but they happen more than most North Texans realize. The attorneys at Fears | Nachawati represent accident victims, whether they are hurt while driving on the interstate or riding on public transportation.
