Despite Amtrak’s efforts to downplay the incident, the reality is that the train was delayed for a total of five hours and twenty-four minutes. The event was serious and the full effects remain unknown.

Fort Worth Now Offers River Wakeboarding – But Is It Safe?

This spring, the nation’s first urban wakeboarding park will open on Fort Worth’s branch of the Trinity River. The park, known as Cowtown Wake Park, brings together aspects of surfing, water skiing, and snowboarding by using a complicated cable towing system to move customers across the water. In fact, engineers from Germany have arrived in Fort Worth to oversee the final implementation of the unprecedented tow system.

While many water sports fans are getting excited, several Fort Worth citizens are asking an important question: is it safe? It’s too early to tell, but concerns abound. Every year, more than 500 Americans die in water sports accidents. For many families, the risk of injury represents too high a high price to pay for summer fun. This summer, if you or a family member are injured during water recreation, contact the personal injury experts at Fears | Nachawati. Call 1.866.705.7584 or send an email to info@fnlawfirm.com.

Fort Worth Boy in Vegetative State Turns Five

In 2009, life tragically changed for Abdallah Khader. A two-year-old, Abdallah was riding in his mother’s car when a repeatedly convicted drunk driver slammed into the back of the Khader’s car as it sat at a red light. Although Abdallah survived the accident, the drunk driver – whose blood alcohol limit was three times the legal limit – left him in a vegetative state.

Last week, Abdallah’s parents celebrated their son’s fifth birthday. As any parent would, they hung balloons, placed signs and served cake. However, Abdallah was unaware of all of these acts of affection. Incredibly, legal challenges have resulted in continued delays, and even now the Khader family has gone without a trial of the man who robbed their son of the vitality of life.

Drunk driving kills and injures of thousands of American every year. However, as the tragedy of Abdallah Khader shows, the legal challenges are real and the wheels of justice turn slowly.
