Lake Liability: No Guard on Duty

With summer coming and the weather getting warming across North Texas, residents of Dallas, Fort Worth, and the surrounding suburbs will head to D/FW’s many lakes to enjoy in watersports like boating, fishing, water skiing, and sailing. Although heading to the lake is a great way to relax, it’s easy to fall into the deep end of legal trouble.

Every summer, hundreds of North Texans experience property damage, personal injury, and even death as the result of reckless behavior on area lakes like Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Lewisville. Just like you put your life in your hands when you swim without a lifeguard on duty, you put your legal rights and interests at risk when you step on a boat. Be safe, take precautions, and know what to do if you sustain property or personal injury.

Will You Be Injured at Warrior Dash?

More than 13,000 D/FW residents are expected to participate in next weekend’s Roanoke Warrior Dash. However, more than a few runners have begun to think about the risk of injury in the wake of a Fort Worth man’s death last week in a mud-run and the recent injury of participants in similar events in Michigan and Missouri.

You should be mindful of your risk of injury at social events like Warrior Dash. Latent dangers and unexposed risks threaten the health and welfare of all participants. Tragically, more than a few runners will likely experience scrapes and bruises and a few might even suffer broken bones – or worse!

Have you been injured at a social event? You may be surprised to learn that most venues – whether they are rock concerts, sporting events, or muddy marathons – are legally responsible for their patrons’ safety. Risky conditions may give rise to tort liability.

If you’ve been injured, talk to the experts and attorneys at Fears | Nachawati. With years of experience, we’re prepared to advise you of your legal rights. For your free consultation, call 1.866.322.6898 or email us at http://www.fnlawfirm.com/contact.cfm.

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.
