A lawsuit recently filed by Fears | Nachawati alleges that Apple Inc.'s Unique Device Identifier (UDID) permits advertisers to secretly track which applications users download and how frequently they use those applications.  Unlike cookies, there is no way for a user to turn off or block the UDID.  These privacy invasions violate federal and state law.  Apple knew about the invasions.  Rather than disclosing to iPad and iPhone users that advertisers could find out this information, Apple did not inform or obtain consent from its customers.  The lawsuit names Apple as a defendant, along with the makers of several popular applications.  Consumers seek injunctive relief ordering Apple to stop these privacy invasions, along with money damages.

A new study shows that Dallas-Fort Worth area drivers endure the longest and most dangerous commutes in the nation.  The study showed that Dallas drivers spend an average of 28 minutes each way in traffic, and lose a total of 53 hours per year each due to congestion and wrecks on the roadways.  With all of that time on the road, Dallas-Fort Worth drivers are especially vulnerable to accidents caused by 18-wheelers and other large commercial vehicles, misuse of prescription drugs, and distracted driving, among other causes.

Recent studies have concluded that, while traffic safety continues to improve overall, prescription drugs are rising as a cause of serious and fatal incidents on our roadways.  Commonly prescribed drugs can cause side effects such as blurred vision, dizziness, headaches or memory lapses.  When a person takes multiple drugs, interactions effects between the prescriptions can cause these and other problems.  Side effect and interaction effects can catch drivers by surprise, and individuals may not be aware that their driving is impaired until it is too late and a tragedy has occurred. 

Fears | Nachawati represents individuals who have been injured in accidents where prescription drug side effects and interaction effects may have played a role.  If you're been hurt, call us for a consultation today at 1.866.705.7584.
