Firefighters Injured in Dallas Blaze

Four Dallas firefighters were hurt earlier this week while fighting a fire started in a vacant house. When the home's roof collapsed, a firefighter who was on the roof fell into the fire. Three fellow firefighters were able to pull him from the burning home, but not before all of them sustained burns and smoke inhalation.

Firefighters routinely face considerable risk in the line of duty. Unfortunately, these risks are made more significant when property owners are negligent in the maintenance of their home or business. Risk to firefighter safety is compounded further when property owners maintain dangerous products or chemicals on the premises.

If your loved one is a firefighter, they need to know the risks they face and understand that negligent or dangerous property owners may be responsible for the unique dangers firefighters encounter as they fight fires.

Texas Summer Heat Makes Roads More Dangerous

Across North Texas, daily temperatures are regularly soaring past 100 degrees. Some of the heat wave’s effects, less comfort and more sweating, are obvious. Other effects, however, are subtler. You may not know, but the high Texas heat is actually making roads less safe! According to the Texas Department of Transportation, repair crews are now being sent at least once a week on heat-related road repair missions. Often, highways dip and warp, ultimately causing the roads to “blowout.” These blowouts are dangerous!

Have you been in an automobile accident this summer? If so, you need a full-throated defense of your rights. Many factors may have contributed to your accident, including road conditions like warps, dips, and blowouts. Before you sign away your rights, talk to the experts at Fears | Nachawati.

Did Fireworks Cause Plano Sports Bar’s Demise?

Independence Day brought with it a great July 4th celebration for many families this year, but not for the owners of the Austin Avenue Grill and Sports Bar. After 15 years serving the Plano and Dallas areas, the local fixture has met a tragic end. Late Monday night, the bar caught fire, completely burning down before local firefighters could control the blaze. Early investigations revealed that fireworks might have contributed to the fire.

Arlington Two-Alarm Fire Destroys Apartment Complex

Last weekend, a fire raged across the Lodge at Legacy Park, an Arlington apartment complex, heavily damaging four units and threatening dozens more. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured, however, Dallas fires are a major cause of injury to persons and property. Annually, Dallas’ thousands of fires destroy more than $30 million in property.

Fire insurance is supposed to cover sustained damage. Fire insurers, however, sometimes underpay valid claims, litigate with claimants, wrongfully accusing them of attempted fraud, and delay payment in hopes of reducing the amount of money they are ultimately required to pay to claimants.

Fears | Nachawati knows how to protect you against a fire insurer that refuses to pay your legitimate claims. If you’re property has been destroyed in a fire, talk to our experts. For a free consultation, call 1.866.705.7584 or email info@fnlawfirm.com. Let us help you!
