Tensions – and Risk of Injury – High at Occupy Dallas Protest

For more than a month, the members of Occupy Dallas, a protest movement located at a small park near the Dallas City Hall, have availed themselves of their rights to freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. A Tuesday ruling in federal court granting permission to the City to evict the protestors, however, has put the future of Occupy Dallas on precarious footing. In fact, Occupy Dallas’s eviction is literally now just a phone call away, from Mayor Rawlins to Police Chief Brown.

The increased likelihood of eviction also raises the potential for the use of force – and the possibility of personal injury. Injury to an individual often results in expensive health care costs. But in what circumstances have an injured victim’s rights been violated? And what kind of recover is available to injured victims? These are important questions that don’t always have easy or intuitive answers. Finding out about your rights is important!

Fears | Nachawati specializes in personal injury claims. Personal injury can occur at the most unlikely times and places. The protestors at Occupy Dallas, for instance, could wake up tomorrow with a bloody nose – and a valid legal question about whether their rights were violated. Likewise, automobile accidents also find themselves facing questions about pain and suffering every day. If you or a loved one has been hurt, your response should be immediate: give our experts a phone call. We can help you understand your rights – and whether you have a valid claim against the party that injured you.

Small Plane Crash in East Texas Injures Five

Engine failure, say accident investigators, was the primary contributing factor in Saturday’s accident of a Cessna 401A outside Gladewater Municipal Airport. As a result of the failed engine, the aircraft slammed into the ground fifty yards short of the runway. Incredibly, although five passengers were injured, no one was killed. Four were released a day later; unfortunately, one passenger remains in intensive care in a local hospital.

More than a dozen municipal, county, executive, and regional airports dot the North Texas countryside. As a result, every day hundreds of planes enter and leave North Texas airspace. Although the vast majority do so with little fanfare and no injury, the tragic reality is that a significant minority of small, privately-owned aircraft are involved in serious accidents every year, just like the Cessna that crashed in East Texas.

Has your loved one been injured or killed in a small airplane crash at one of North Texas’s busy regional airports? The right time to act is now. You owe it to yourself, your family, and your injured loved one to find out everything you can about the rights of victims involved in airplane accidents.

Commuter Train in Carrollton Claims Pedestrian

A man walking near the train tracks at Frankford Road in Carrollton, a suburb of Dallas, Texas, died when a Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) commuter train struck and killed him. The DCTA connects with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s (DART) Green Line, which connects much of the D/FW area by light rail.

Today’s accident isn’t the first involving Dallas area trains. Earlier this year, school children on a DART platform were injured when a DART escalator malfunctioned, throwing them down the stairs to the subterranean platform below. Several people were also injured in June when DART and Trinity Railway Express (TRE) trains were responsible for carrying thousands of North Texans to the Dallas Mavericks victory parade in downtown Dallas.

Have you been injured by a Dallas area train? You’re not alone. D/FW trains are responsible for safely transporting paying riders. Personal injury isn’t part of the bargain. Don’t sit on your rights! Justice may be just a phone call away. Trust your legal interests to the expert attorneys at Fears | Nachawati.

North Texas Car Accident Takes Life

Two cars were involved in an unexpected head-on collision on an otherwise quiet highway near Melissa, Texas. Three people survived the accident and rushed to a nearby hospital. However, a fourth individual, whose name and identity have withheld for the time being, died at the scene of the accident.

Thousands of automobile accidents happen every year in Texas—and a tragically large number of them result in fatalities. They also result in considerable grief for the families of victims. If your spouse, parent, or child was involved in a fatal accident, you should know that Texas law protects your interests and theirs through the wrongful death statute.

Fears | Nachawati attorneys are prepared to file a wrongful death action on behalf of your loved one. Just because your family member is gone doesn’t mean that their rights to a safe highway died with them. Justice is within victims’ reach thanks to your dedicated, experienced advocates. Let us fight for you! For your free consultation, call us at 1.866.322.6898 or email us at http://www.fnlawfirm.com/contact.cfm. We can help.
