Dallas Driver Slams into Local Mall

It may sound absurd, but Friday morning a Dallas driver drove his truck into Southwest Center Mall, slamming into interior fixtures and finally coming to rest in a sporting goods store. To make matters more bizarre, the man was driving naked – and decided to dress himself in clothes he found after his truck came to a stop in the store’s entryway.

Admittedly, this accident is unusual. However, the risk that today’s events suggest – that careless or reckless drivers might inadvertently slam into a building or home – is far from absurd. In fact, virtually every month a driver somewhere in North Texas loses control of his car and careens into a home or commercial building.

What should you do if an out-of-control driver damages your property? Fortunately, the law is on your side. You just have to know what steps to take. Your first step should be to contact the professionals at Fears | Nachawati. With years of automobile accident experience and dedicated expertise, we’re prepared to help you.

Aging Motorcyclists Present New Considerations

Riding a motorcycle is no longer a young man’s game. In 2006, nearly half of all motorcycle fatalities involved riders older than 40. That’s up from 30 percent in 1996 and more than four times higher than the 13 percent of over-the-hill riders in 1990.

The aging of America’s motorcycle riders carries with it important implications, such as the amount insurance riders have and the value of assets they control. In the context of a fight over whether a negligent motorcyclist should pay for the personal injury and property damage you’ve sustained, these considerations become crucially important.

Are you ready to find out how the careless motorcycle driver who contributed to your accident may be legally responsible for the harm he or she has caused?

Headphones Prove Fatal to North Texas Teen

A North Texas teenager died last weekend when a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train struck him as he walked near the tracks. Walker County investigators point to an unexpected source – the young man’s headphones – as the principal cause of the accident. Witness statements suggest that the man was listening to music and never heard the train approaching. Tragically, it seems that what he was listening to may have inadvertently cost him his life.

Whether they are in the ears of pedestrians or drivers, headphones can be dangerous distractions. And as the prevalence of music-playing cell phones increases, the risk that distraction will lead to injury or even death increases, too.

Were headphones – and the distractions they often cause – involved in your recent accident? Do you want to know whether those headphones might influence your legal liability or potential recovery? Find out the answer to this question and more by talking to the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati.

Drunk Driving Accidents Give Rise to Criminal and Civil Issues

As most Dallas residents know, the law punishes excessive public consumption of alcohol, whether in the form of driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), boating while intoxicated (BWI), or public intoxication. What many people in North Texas don’t realize, however, is that drunkenness can give rise to civil law issues as well as criminal law citations.

If you injure someone while under the influence of alcohol – such as an alcohol-related automobile accident – you could face serious legal and financial claims. In fact, in some situations the criminal law outcome is relatively insignificant in comparison to the civil law result of drunkenness.

The bottom line is that if you’ve been involved in an alcohol-related accident, you should talk to the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati to learn how your rights may be impacted. With years of experience and dedicated expertise, we’re ready to give you the advice you need.

Number of Uninsured Texas Drivers Declines, Improves Likelihood of Recovery

For drivers involved in an automobile accident, one of the most challenging barriers to recovery for personal injury and property damage is the extent to which the responsible driver is insured. Unfortunately for many accident victims, some careless drivers are underinsured or uninsured and, as a result, fail to fully pay for the harm they cause.

Fortunately, there’s good news: in the last year, the number of uninsured drivers in Texas has fallen by nearly 40 percent, according to the Texas Department of Insurance. Although the number of uninsured or underinsured drivers – 2.6 million – is still remarkably high, this number is down considerably from its 2011 figure, 4.2 million Texans. Officials report that the significant downshift is the result of getting improperly insured drivers off the road and cleaning up the state’s database.

Have you been involved in an accident with an underinsured or uninsured driver? You may have options that you haven’t considered. Find out the full range of your choices by talking to the automobile accident professionals at Fears | Nachawati. With years of experience and dedicated expertise, we know how to fight for you.

Multicar Accident Kills One, Injures Ten

Although violent automobile accidents are tragically common in major cities in Dallas and Tarrant County, they occur less frequently in rural areas of North Texas. Of course, that’s not to say that they don’t happen at all, as last weekend’s accident near Kaufman, Texas, attests.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, multiple cars were involved in an accident on an otherwise quiet, backcountry road, State Highway 243. In a matter of moments, the little travelled road became the site of a flipped truck, a head-on collision, and a pair of heavily damaged SUVs. Moreover, only a few minutes after the accident the roadway also became of a landing zone for care flight helicopters landing and picking up victims so that they could carry them to nearby hospital emergency rooms.
