Are You an Obese Victim?

Hospitals around the country are recognizing an important demographic trend: Americans are getting larger. To address the needs of plus-sized patients, hospitals have acquired stretchers that can carry 500-pound patients, larger beds, and floor-mounted rather than wall-mounted toilets, to name just a few changes.

Hospitals adopting these changes are moving in a responsible direction. Unfortunately, however, far too many businesses are slow in taking these steps. As a result, they serve customers in conditions that are unsafe for obese patrons. It’s important to recognize: businesses can limit whom they serve. However, if they chose to provide for overweight customers, they must do so safely.

Are you a plus-sized person who was injured in a restaurant, shopping center, or other facility because the business failed to offer safe furniture or sufficient walkways? You may have a valid legal claim as a result of the physical injury or emotional distress you’ve experienced.

Drowning at Apartment Raises Legal Questions

Earlier this week, a 20-month-old child fell into a swimming pool at his father’s apartment complex. Unfortunately, despite efforts to resuscitate him, the child died.

Tragically, children are frequently involved in accidents. Often, these accidents are the result of conditions that are safe for adults, but inherently dangerous for children. Parents often childproof a house for this reason. Business owners, however, frequently neglect to childproof their premises and the results can be painful and permanent.

Is your apartment dangerous for children? Has your child been hurt as a result of an unsafe condition? You may not realize it, but the owner of the apartment complex may be responsible for your child’s injuries. Find out whether your family has a viable case by talking to the personal injury attorneys at Fears | Nachawati.

Pitbulls Kill Family’s Pets, Underscore Risk

A family in Fort Worth is grieving this week after a neighbor’s pitbulls attacked and killed two of their three daschunds. To add insult to their grief and mental anguish, the family had repeatedly petitioned their neighbor and the City of Fort Worth’s animal control to take more aggressive action to contain the pitbulls. Their successive efforts were unsuccessful – and the result was tragic and unfair.

Pitbulls are notoriously dangerous and aggressive dogs. Nationwide, they are responsible for hundreds of animal attacks every year, killing other animals, including household pets, and injuring people, particularly children. The owners of dangerous animals are responsible for these injuries; yet they often succeed in evading accountability.
