Your Texas personal injury lawsuit begins with an initial consultation with your lawyer. Most personal injury lawyers, such as our team here at Fears | Nachawati, will provide you with free legal advice during this first meeting.

 

The first meeting is a time for your lawyer to get know the facts of your case. You will tell your lawyer about the accident and show them any documents, such as police reports, that you have.

 

If your Texas personal injury lawyer decides that you have a good case, the next step is to contact the legal representative of the person or entity responsible for the accident.

 

In many instances, your case will be settled out of court with no need for a trial. If a settlement cannot be reached, however, your personal injury lawyer will move forward with preparations for trial in accordance with Texas law.

 

If your personal injury lawsuit goes to trial, there will be a deposition, which is a time for the defendant’s attorney to ask you questions about the accident. Your personal injury lawyer will thoroughly prepare you for the deposition by telling you what questions to expect and going over your answers with you. Your attorney will depose the defendant as well.

 

The good news for you as the accident victim is that your Texas personal injury lawsuit will generally require very little participation on your part. Your attorney handles all of the paperwork as well as the communications with the party against whom you are bringing the suit.

Every day in the United States, workers are injured while on the job. Sadly, the number of injuries – and fatalities – is far higher for those working in the construction industry. In fact, in 2004, the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that the construction industry has the second highest number of fatalities of all industries in the U.S. The study also revealed that construction workers have a higher-than-average number of days off from work due to illness or injury.

Other studies have indicated that one out of every ten construction workers will be injured on the job at some point during their career.

The stakes are even higher for construction workers in Texas. Since 1992, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Texas has ranked either first or second in the number of workplace injuries per year – construction site accidents accounted for the largest number of those injuries. In 2004, for instance, Texas was in second place with 114 fatalities in the construction sector.

Other shocking statistics related to construction site accidents include:

·         Research conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health showed that, in 2007, construction accidents caused the highest number of fatalities of any industry.

·         In 2007, over 1,100 construction-related fatalities were reported.

·         Falls are the most common cause of fatal construction site accidents.

·         After falls, transportation accidents, falling objects and electrocution are the most common causes of construction-related deaths, respectively.

·         Of all workers compensation costs across the country, 15% are due to construction site accidents.

As these statistics show, the construction industry is a highly dangerous occupation that puts workers at serious risk of suffering an on-the-job injury. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction site accident, contact us today.

 

The Texas personal injury lawyers of Fears | Nachawati provide free legal advice to victims of construction site injuries. Simply email us at info@fnlawfirm.com or call us on our toll-free number at 1.866.705.7584.

Our clients' son, Abdallah Khader, who was critically injured in an accident caused by the perfect storm of irresponsibility, has been released by Cook's Children's Hospital in Fort Worth and is now being cared for by his loving family.  Abdallah has the ability to breathe on his own.  However, his brain function remains minimal at best.  Bars believed to have overserved alcohol to Richardson, who in turn crashed his vehicle into the Khader family's vehicle as they returned home from a family gathering, need to be aware of potential negligent conduct and take responsibility for preventing intoxication in serving future patrons.  This tragic drunk driving crash was caused not only by Richardson, but any bars believed to have overserved Richardson.  His blood alcohol level was over three times the legal limit-.28.  The Fears | Nachawati Law Firm remains dedicated to sending a message to all bars that the law requires serving alcohol to its patrons in a responsible manner, such that tragic incidents and the suffering of innocent motorists and, in particular, children are eliminated.  Questions concerning dram shop suits, which address bars that overserve patrons can be directed to the lead personal injury lawyer, Majed Nachawati, who will stop at nothing to hold bars and drunk drivers accountable to the fullest extent allowed by our civil justice system.  Fears | Nachawati Law Firm - Toll Free Phone Number 1.866.705.7584, email - mn@fnlawfirm.com.

This week, Fears | Nachawati Law Firm obtained a significant confidential settlement on behalf of an employee, who was a tile setter, in the pool industry and was injured on the job, herniating two disks in his back that later required surgery.  Each year, thousands of white-collar and blue-collar workers are injured on the job--oftentimes creating a future loss of employment capacity and tragic life-changing circumstances such as divorce and financial difficulties.  Employers that do not purchase approved workers' compensation insurance policy coverage, can be held liable under Texas law through filing a state court lawsuit on an injured worker's behalf.  Oftentimes, the only way to independently verify whether an employer is subject to suit in state court is by contacting an experienced law firm that can verify worker's compensation coverage with the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission.  An injured worker can also check online with the commission through the Online Employer Workers' Compensation Insurance Verification System, which is not always 100% accurate.  If you are unsure of your legal rights and want to be informed concerning whether you can sue or have a case, contact an attorney or law firm experienced with on-the-job injuries.  Questions can be direct to Fears | Nachawati Law Firm, Phone 1 (866) 705-7584 or by email at info@fnlawfirm.com.

The law firm of Fears | Nachawati is currently taking cases for individuals who have suffered injuries due to Digitek, also known as Digoxin. Recently, a drug manufacturer, Actavis Totowa LLC, a United States manufacturing division of the international generic pharmaceutical company Actavis Group, has initiated a Class I nationwide recall of Digitek (digoxin tablets, USP, all strengths) intended for oral use. The products are distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., under a "Bertek" label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under a "UDL" label. Actavis manufactures the products for Mylan and the products are distributed by Mylan and UDL under the Bertek and UDL labels. Bertek and UDL are affiliates of Mylan.

The nationwide recall is due to the possibility that tablets with double the appropriate thickness may have been commercially released. These tablets may contain twice the approved level of active ingredient than it appropriate.

Digitek is used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. The existence of double strength tablets poses a risk of digitalis toxicity in patients with renal failure. Digitalis toxicity can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, diarrhea, excessive urination, low blood pressure, swelling, abnormally slow heartbeat, heart palpitations, loss of appetite, cardiac instability and bradycardia. Death can also result from excessive Digitalis intake. Several reports of illnesses and injuries have been received.

If you or a loved one has been injured, hospitalized, or has lost their life due to digitalis toxicity, contact our law firm immediately to learn about your legal rights. Fears | Nachawati Law Firm, 1 (866) 705-7584 or by email at mn@fnlawfirm.com

April 25th, The Fears | Nachawati Law Firm has recently been retained to represent the family of a man who was seriously injured and ultimately passed away while making lock at a dam inside the territorial waters of the United States. According to Mr. Nachawati, " the death or loss of any loved one is difficult, if not impossible to deal with, and as a result, requires a full investigation and inquiry into any death potentially involving any Jones Act Seamen, product liability or maritime claim." He further stated that his " lawyers and law firm remain dedicated to families and people who suffer as a result of the negligence of any third party,as the pursuit of justice, truth, and the protection of those injured are the only things that matter to his firm." Mr. Nachawati further commented that it is oftentimes difficult to conduct and independent investigation because evidence is commonly lost, altered, or destroyed as each hour passes after incidents involving serious injuries or wrongful deaths occurring on semi-submersibles, steamboats, rigs, drilling platforms, and other types of sea vessels. For legal information concerning the Jones Act, maritime claims and deaths, contact the firm by e-mail at mn@fnlawfirm.com or by phone at 1(866) 705-7584.
