Single Car Accident, Multi-Party Responsibility?

Last weekend, a driver went to the hospital after his car rolled down 30 feet down an embankment near Interstate 30, coming to a rest upside down. Photographs from the accident site reveal that the car sustained considerable damage, breaking down doors and windows and jeopardizing the driver’s life.

Many single car accidents are the fault of the driver. However, that’s not necessarily always the case. In some automobile accident cases, the design or manufacture of the car – or its component parts – are responsible for some or all of the accident that occurs. In these situations, the manufacturer of the vehicle or part may bear legal responsibility.

Are you concerned that your accident may have been caused in whole or part by a malfunctioning part? If the answer is yes, you should consider contacting the lawyers at Fears | Nachawati to find out whether you have a claim.

What Are Dram Shop Laws?

Some stores sell liquor by the dram or in a small amount. In an attempt to impose legal liability on these purveyors of spirits, legislatures and jurists throughout the United States have crafted a body of law known as dram shop laws. In general, these laws tie responsibility between the business that poured an excessive drink and the driver who drank to excess and, as a result, caused a car accident.

How do these laws affect the legal consequences of your accident? The results may be more significant than you might think.

Three Car Accident Injures Eight on I-35 Shoulder

In Red Oak, a community south of Dallas, Texas, a dead battery, a Good Samaritan, and a reckless driver caused thousands of dollars in property damage and put eight lives at risk. The accident occurred last week on Interstate 35 when the battery in Terry White’s 1983 Buick failed, causing him to park in the service lane of southbound I-35. Although a helpful motorist pulled over in an attempt to help Mr. White, the inadvertent result was to add to the destruction when an out-of-control car slammed into both parked vehicles.

What exactly happened and who is at fault? Does Mr. White bear responsibility for where he parked his car – and the fact that his battery died on a major highway? If the driver attempting to help actually made things more dangerous, does he bear responsibility for increasing the risk of injury and damage? Or is the third driver’s recklessness so great that it is the only factor an independent observer should consider?

Questions like these inevitably arise in the wake of an automobile accident. These questions are particularly complicated – and meaningful – when multiple cars and drivers are involved in a wreck. If you’ve been in an accident and you’re trying figure out what happened and who is to blame, you should talk to the automobile accident experts at Fears | Nachawati. With years of experience and a devotion to excellent legal representation, we’re prepared to protect your rights.

13 Car Pile-Up Delays Dallas Drivers

Yesterday, there was just one word to describe it: incredible. Most drivers go months between seeing just one car accident. To see 13 vehicles dinged, damaged and destroyed vehicles was something that few of the rubberneckers on I-35 will soon forget.

The first accident occurred when a couple of drivers attempting to exit I-35E at Inwood Road collided. The dominos began falling shortly afterward as exiting cars failed to realize that the cars ahead were stopped and had nowhere to go. Some hit the cars that were stopped; others hit the brakes in time. Regardless, everyone was at risk of the next wave of cars rear-ending them, causing another round of accidents. When the wreckage finally ended, 13 drivers were exchanging information and considering how to handle their dinted vehicles. Fortunately – and perhaps equally incredibly – no one was injured.

Inexperienced attorneys often find it difficult to establish responsibility and, hence, liability when multiple cars are involved.
