Tarrant County Shark Survivor Returns Home

In mid-July, a 12-year-old from Tarrant County walked into the waters off of the Texas Gulf Coast. Although five successful surgeries ensure that he’ll walk again soon, he still hasn’t taken his first steps since that fateful summer swim. The North Texan was swimming and playing in the surf when a bull shark bit his foot, nearly requiring its amputation. Fortunately, prompt, skilled health care saved his ability to walk again.

The Texas Gulf Coast is a tourist attraction for millions of people every summer. It’s important to remember, however, that its not without its dangers, among them shark attacks, jelly fish stings, potentially lethal undertow and many others. If you or a loved one are injured in a trip to the beach this summer, you need to speak with the personal injury professionals at Fears | Nachawati. We know how painful injuries can be and how expensive health care really is. It’s important to know all of your legal options as you consider the recovery plan that’s right for you.

Fire Destroys Fort Worth Homes

A fire in Fort Worth’s Golden Triangle Estates community yesterday afternoon destroyed six homes before firefighters were able to control the blaze. As a result of the rapidly spreading and highly destructive fire, more than a dozen North Texans are starting down the long road to financial and emotional recovery.

Fires are common this summer, as a record heat wave makes unintentional fires more likely and much harder to put out. The tragic result is that a record number of North Texans have lost their homes and businesses. Most have insurance policies, but insurance companies are sometimes reluctant to pay the full cost of the damage.

That’s not right! Fears | Nachawati understands how insurance companies operate and the tricks that many use to deprive you of all the benefits you deserve under your policy. If you’ve suffered fire damage and feel like you’ve been cheated out of full repayment, talk to us! For a free consultation, call 1.866.705.7584 or email info@fnlawfirm.com.

Four Die in Tragic Car Accident

In the early hours of last Saturday morning, a southbound Ford Mustang travelling down FM 730, a two-lane road northwest of Fort Worth, attempted an illegal pass with tragic results. In the midst of the pass, the driver of the Mustang saw the bright lights of an oncoming Ford F-350; both attempted to evade, but to no avail. The F-350 slammed into the car almost head-on, immediately killing four of the five passengers in the Mustang.

In a horrifying irony, the driver of the Mustang, a 17-year-old who graduated high school in May, survived the accident and was transported to a Fort Worth hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the F-350 suffered internal injuries, but was released from Wise Regional Health System later that day.

Stroke Victim Sues City of Dallas for Race Discrimination

Dianne Irons is a stroke victim. As a result, she has slurred speech. In a recent encounter with the Dallas Police Department, Ms. Irons and her nephew, Ben Irons, attempted to tell the city officials that the cause of her slurred speech was her stroke, not intoxication. Refusing to believe the medical records put to them by Ben Irons, however, the police drug Ms. Irons to jail and held her in a “drunk tank” for six hours before releasing her.

Ms. Irons, an African-American, believes that the police may have arrested her because of her race. In fact, she’s retained legal counsel and decided to fight for her day in court. She has already filed a federal suit.

Ms. Iron’s case is unfortunate, but unfortunately not unique. The civil rights of men and women across North Texas are frequently violated. If you’ve been the subject of an unwarranted arrest or unnecessary search or detention, you should speak to the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati. We know what you’ve experienced and how you can fight for your day in court. Call 1.866.705.7584 or email info@fnlawfirm.com. We can help!

Richardson Child Injured in Go-Kart Accident

A 12-year-old child was seriously injured earlier this week when a careless driver hit him while he was peddling his go-kart on the sidewalk. To make matters even worse, the driver allegedly failed to render aid, adding to the severity of the injuries the child sustained. At present, the child is in the hospital, fighting for his life.

Tragically, accidents involving children happen almost every day. For understandable reasons, the emotional, legal, and financial fallout of child accidents tend to be more severe than run-of-the-mill personal injury cases. The attorney who counsels the family needs a unique set of skills.

Zero Gravity Thrill Park Strands Customers for Two Hours

Earlier this week, an engaged couple went to the Zero Gravity Thrill Park near I-35 and Walnut Hill to ride the “Texas Blastoff,” a bungee jump known for thrilling customers. This time, however, the ride didn’t thrill, but terrify. After riding the bungee jump for sixty seconds, the ride locked up, stranding the couple high in the air. The theme park, unable to rescue their customers themselves, was forced to call the Dallas Fire Department who were only able to rescue the couple after they were stranded in the air for more than two hours.
