Do you ride your bike regularly? If so, you probably expose yourself to more risk that you realize. For instance, what would happen to you if you were in an accident? Are you covered by your insurance policy? Most bikers aren’t. Are you confident that the reckless driver who hit you would have biking accidents on their coverage? You shouldn’t be.

 

Bicycle riders experience significant levels of potential accident risk every time they strap on their helmet. Yet most are totally unprepared for the financial, medical, and legal consequences of an accident. As a result, they wind up searching for solutions after the fact. For instance, an unnamed Houston bike rider is doing that now. This afternoon, the cyclist was peddling along Texas 249 in northwest Harris County when a car struck her. Because of the accident, the rider was taken by Life Flight helicopter to a nearby hospital.

Thursday afternoon, most of Tania Enamorado’s classmates had gone home for the day. Enamorado, however, was cruising around Dallas with her friend and her teenage cousin. The drive would have been uneventful except for one event: the driver, Enamorado’s cousin, driving at an excessive rate of speed, hit a puddle, lost control of her car, and slammed into a utility pole. The accident sent the driver and a passenger to the hospital. Tragically, Enamorado was killed immediately.

 

Did the driver have a license? No. Was she driving at excessive speed? Yes. Is she responsible for the safety of her passengers? Absolutely. The life and death of Enamorado stands as an important reminder for teens, passengers, and parents alike: drivers are legally responsible for the safety of their passengers.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

The life of Miss Enamorado came to too quick an end. Her death is undeniably tragic, not only because it was preventable, but because the people most responsible for her safety – her own family – let her down when she most needed their protection.

 

Has your teenage child been hurt in an automobile accident? It happens to thousands of Texas drivers – and their families – every year. Frequently, these accidents involve significant medical costs and financial liability for the victims. You don’t have to bear these costs alone. Drivers, even teenagers, must care for the health and safety of their passengers.

 

If your child has been hurt in a car wreck, you should call the automobile accident experts at Fears | Nachawati. Our attorneys are prepared to guide you through this difficult process and fight for your rights. You didn’t have control over the way this process started, but you can dictate how it ends. Your free consultation is just a phone call away! Let us help you today.

Early yesterday morning an Arlington driver had car trouble. The driver, Kolawole Grando, made the mistake of coming to a stop in an eastbound lane of I-20. Tragically, it was one of the last mistakes Mr. Grando would make.

 

Shortly after coming to stop, a pickup truck slammed into the back of Grando’s car, collapsing the entire back half of the car and causing Grando’s immediate death. The death of Mr. Grando may have been accident, but it wasn’t necessary a fluke. Hundreds of stranded drivers are injured every year in Texas as a result of fellow drivers who drive too fast, too recklessly, too tired, or too drunk.

Street racing may be against the law, but that doesn’t seem to stop thousands of Texans from tearing around city streets, putting their own lives at risk – and the lives of innocent bystanders, too.

 

Tragically, Elias Silva-Gonzales of Dallas, a 43-year-old father of two, was killed earlier this month when a street racer driving a Chevrolet Suburban at an excessive rate of speed slammed into Silva-Gonzales’s car. Although Silva-Gonzales was rushed to the hospital, the deed – and the damage – was done. By the time he reached the ER, Mr. Silva-Gonzales had died from the irresponsible decision-making of yet another criminally negligent street racer.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Driving under normal conditions is dangerous. Street racing makes a trip to the grocery store potentially fatal. For the victims of street racing, this recklessness isn’t right. And for the families who grieve them, it isn’t fair.

 

If there’s any good news, it’s this: street racing isn’t just illegal, it’s tortuous. While it’s the responsibility of prosecutors and public officials to pursue criminal charges against street racers, it’s the right of victims to file suit against street racers and to hold them accountable for their misconduct.

 

The attorneys at Fears | Nachawati help the victims of street racers and their families to secure justice in civil court. If you’ve been involved in one of these unnecessary, harmful accidents, you can protect your rights and the rights of others by filing a proper complaint in court. We can help you! Contact us today to find out how.

The driver of a Mazda minivan lost control of her car today and was involved in an accident with an unlikely defendant: McDonald’s. Although the restaurant was less damaged than the minivan, the reality is that both McDonald’s and the Dallas-area driver sustained property damage. McDonald’s brick wall was cracked, and the front fender of the minivan collapsed as a result of the collision.

 

What’s the way forward for the driver and the multinational food services provider? Time – and a forthcoming negotiation between the parties – will tell.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Automobile accidents happen every day in Texas. Admittedly, most don’t involve buildings, such as a McDonald’s restaurant, but it’s important to recognize that accidents rarely play out the way that drivers anticipate. Car accidents regularly involve injured passengers, commercial vehicles, such as 18-wheelers, wrongful deaths, municipal trucks, or product defects, such as a tendency for some cars to roll when struck.

 

Would you be ready if your car rolled or if your passenger was injured? Accidents involving unanticipated eventualities are often difficult to resolve for drivers, insurance companies, and attorneys who aren’t prepared for them.

 

Fortunately for you, the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati handle these type of unexpected realities every day. The accident you’ve involved in may surprise you, but it probably won’t phase our dedicated, experienced professionals. In fact, that’s a big reason why you should trust us with your case. We know how to understand what happened to you – and can protect for your legal, property, and financial interests!

You’ve heard that drunk driving kills. But do you know that driving drunk may have profound legal effects, too?

 

On the last day of 2011, two residents of North Texas were killed and one seriously injured as a result of drunk driving. The inebriated driver, driving too fast, recklessly attempted to pass a slower vehicle. Unfortunately for everyone in the car, he lost control of his car, causing the sedan to slip off the road, go airborne, and roll several times before come to rest. As a result, the driver and two passengers were ejected from the car.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Drunk driving is a serious public policy and criminal matter. It’s true that drunk driving can have very serious injuries and permanent legal consequences, including criminal charges for vehicular manslaughter, DUI, and DWI.

 

What many drivers don’t realize is that the people they injury – whether they are passengers in their car or other drivers and passengers on the highway – may file civil lawsuits claiming damages for the personal injuries they sustain.

 

If you’ve been involved in a alcohol-related automobile accident and either want to file a civil lawsuit or face a civil complaint, you should speak to the legal professionals and representatives at Fears | Nachawati today. We’ve handled numerous cases just like yours and can help you sort through the facts, understand the law, and determine the appropriate response. Talk to our professionals today!

In general, car drivers don’t have to worry about suspended freeway retaining walls. Motorcycle drivers, on the other hand, should be very aware of this hidden danger. Moreover, they should make sure that they have insurance coverage for these kinds of seemingly improbable accidents.

 

This week, a Houston motorcyclist struck an elevated retaining wall, slid over the edge, and fell forty-five feet. Tragically, the driver died from the wreck and fall, suggesting exactly the kind of hidden danger that motorcycle drivers must guard against.

Just one day after Christmas, a Dallas family was forced to confront the tragedy of losing a loved one. The experience is made all the more painful by knowing that a dangerous product design may have contributed significantly to the fatality.

 

Attempting to avert a road obstruction, Ethel Hazet swerved while travelling on Loop 12 near Interstate 35. In doing so, Hazet inadvertently struck a concrete barrier, causing her Chevy Tahoe to roll several times, throwing her from the car. Although her passenger was able to survive the accident, Hazet died from serious internal injuries.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Traditionally, SUVs have infamously high rollover risk. In fact, according to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the probability that an SUV will rollover is as much as five times more likely than that of a passenger vehicle in similar conditions.

 

Why is rollover risk important? Drivers and passengers are far more likely to suffer serious – and often lethal – injury in the event of a rollover. NHTSA data has shown that the probability of serious injury and death is 36 percent higher in the event of a rollover and that more than 80 percent of annual vehicle occupant deaths occurred in single car rollover crashes.

 

For the legal team at Fears | Nachawati, these statistics leave us asking one simple question: why? While driver error and highway conditions play a part, the reality is that driving an SUV is considerably more dangerous because car makers insufficiently took into consideration the probability of rollovers – and the probable outcome of rollovers.

 

Have you been injured in automobile accident? Talk to our experts today to find out what you need to know about your rights and how to protect your family’s interests.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), more than 3,000 Americans died last year in motor vehicle crashes attributed to the use of cell phones, text messaging, and similar distractions. In other words, more people died last year on American highways as a result of commonly carried distractions than the number of people who died in the September 11^th attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

 

Some states have taken action. The state of Texas, for instance, has already passed legislation prohibiting teenagers from using cell phones and similar devices while driving and restricts adults from making cell phone calls or sending text messages while driving in school zones. However, as a result of Governor Perry’s veto this year, Texas law stops short of providing a complete prohibition on all drivers from texting-and-driving.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Whether a complete prohibition on in-car cell phone use is appropriate may be subject of continuing debate, but whether cell phone use imposes risk on drivers and contributes to the number of accidents on U.S. highways is beyond dispute.

 

The lawyers at Fears | Nachawati understand the legal consequences of an automobile accident in which a cell phone contributed to the cause of the accident. The extent to which you were a victim of a distracted driver is an important component of pre-trial negotiations, discovery, and persuasive, credible evidence in trial. If you’ve been hurt in an automobile accident caused by a cell phone, you should contact our specialists and dedicated professionals immediately. We may be able to help you!

Arlington resident Erik Shawn Green was involved in an accident earlier this fall when his car inadvertently crossed the centerline of Highway 19 outside of Elkhart, Texas. Tragically, Green’s car slammed head-on into an oncoming car, killing Waco resident Betsy Salazar and injuring three others in the car.

 

Today, Green faces a challenging legal situation in which he lives more than a hundred miles away from the location of the accident, the courthouse in which a personal injury lawsuit may be filed, and the home of the people injured by his conduct.

This morning Dallas drivers were forced to creep around the wreckage of a damaged car hauler and its destroyed cargo on their way to work. The wreck occurred when the car hauler, transporting a van, attempted to pass underneath an overpass on I-30. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the height of the car hauler and its cargo was taller than the overpass clearance. As a result, the van slammed into the overpass at high speed, flinging car parts across the normally busy highway.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

What caused today’s accident? At first glance, it looks like it was a car hauler and van that were just a little too tall for the route the driver took. While this explanation is true, it leaves out an important part of the story: the driver’s recklessness.

 

The drivers of car hauler are specially trained and experienced. Their employers go through great lengths to ensure that they are ready for the hazards of the road. Moving stranded, broken, and damaged cars isn’t simply a task for these drivers. It’s their profession. So when a car hauler misjudges the height of an overpass, it’s not necessarily evidence of a mistake, but the kind of recklessness that could seriously injure fellow drivers.

 

The team of legal experts Fears | Nachawati know negligent driving when they see it. If you’ve been an accident with a reckless driver, you don’t simply need an attorney, you need a specialist. Fortunately, our automobile accident attorneys are ready to provide you the experienced, expert attention you require. Call us today!

An Arlington woman spent last night in a Mansfield jail pending charges of intoxication manslaughter and child endangerment. In addition to these criminal charges, she almost certainly faces an impossible-to-escape negligence claim in civil court.

 

Not only did the Arlington driver drive under the influence of alcohol and the wrong way down Interstate 35, a police office also witnessed the woman driving with her hands behind her head. As a result of the woman’s gross disregard for the safety of others, two drivers were involved in an accident trying to evade the reckless woman’s SUV. When one of the drivers got out of the car to examine the accident, he was struck by a passing car and killed instantly.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

This accident demonstrates an important area of the law: negligence. United States and Texas law obligates its citizens to exercise a minimum level of care when they engage in an act, like driving. In effect, the law of negligence provides that people should act with reasonable care, taking steps to avoid the harm that their decisions might cause to others.

 

Acts like driving the wrong way down a road, drinking and driving, and failing to hold onto the steering wheel are all choices that impose foreseeable risk onto other drivers. If other drivers are harmed as a result of these choices, like the man struck as he inspected the damage to his car, then the negligent actor may be liable for the resulting injuries.

 

Fears | Nachawati specializes in the complex area of negligence law. If you have suffered personal injury or property damage as a result of someone else’s carelessness, you have a right to be compensated for your loss. Find out everything you need to know about your legal rights and financial interests by contacting our professionals today.

When most drivers think about the hazards of highway driving, they usually think of the likelihood that they will be involved in an unavoidable accident. While it’s true that these accidents produce most highway injuries and fatalities, it’s important to remember that secondary effects – like automobile fires sparked by collisions – can be just as dangerous.

 

Earlier this week, a Dallas driver’s van stalled in the left lane of I-635. Not suspecting the vehicle to stop suddenly in the fast lane of a major highway, the car behind slammed into the stalled car, pinning the driver’s legs in the vehicle. Although the collision only stunned him, a fire soon began that ultimately consumed the van and tragically took the trapped driver’s life.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

In the wake of a destructive, painful, or fatal automobile accident, it’s important to consult with our expert legal advisors. Thanks to our experience, expertise, and professional commitment, we can maximize the likelihood that you can achieve the justice and the financial compensation you deserve.

Did you know that in 2010 drowsy driving caused one in six fatal automobile accidents and one in eight car accidents causing serious injury? This finding by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety underscores a safety reality that legal experts have attempted to address for years.

 

Drowsy driving causes the same kind of symptoms as drunk drivers. Impairment includes slower reaction times, exaggerated responses, and considerably diminished awareness of road conditions. Likewise, drowsy driving can also result in exactly the same kind of serious injury and death found among drunk driving accidents, both for the drowsy driver and the innocent bystanders often victimized by this reckless behavior.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

Because of our years of experience, the attorneys at Fears | Nachawati know well how drunk and drowsy driving can result in considerable legal liability for the negligent driver. The simple fact is that the law imposes basic responsibilities upon drivers; and those duties include the obligation to drive safely. Drowsy driving openly violates this fundamental legal standard governing conduct on the road.

 

Have you or a loved one been involved in an accident with a drowsy driver? The legal consequences might be more severe for the person who damaged your property or injured you or your family member than you might think. Trust our courtroom-tested litigation skills to help you handle your legal claims against the negligent driver who struck you. Contact us today for a free consultation!

A Dallas-area family is searching for answers after their loved one was unexpectedly killed in a hit-and-run accident that occurred in the early morning hours Thursday. The victim literally didn’t know what hit him. A hit-and-run driver travelling at an extremely high rate of speed slammed into the rear-end of his car, pushing him off the road and into a nearby field. Tragically, the driver was ejected from the car and killed.

 

The Plano Police Department is searching for the hit-and-run driver, however, their search is strictly limited to the suspect’s potential criminal conduct. The grieving family needs an experienced, dedicated attorney to protect their civil law rights.

Helen Boone, 84, died this week in a two-car accident in Lubbock, Texas. An initial investigation completed today revealed that Boone drove her Lincoln sedan onto a busy street without realizing that a GMC pickup truck had the right of way – or that the driver did not expect Ms. Boone to violate his right of way and pull into his lane. By the time Ms. Boone was too far into Indiana Avenue’s oncoming traffic, the driver of the GMC was committed to going through his green light. The accident was catastrophic, and Ms. Boone died at a Lubbock-area hospital soon after the wreck.

 

As an attorney specializing in automobile accidents, personal injury, and wrongful death, I watch with concern at the growing number of elderly drivers who are involved in serious – and often fatal – accidents. Like very young drivers, older drivers tend to be responsible for a disproportionate share of accidents across Texas. Older drivers don’t intend to create a dangerous situation, but their decision to drive is often reckless, endangering the property and lives of other motorists.

 

Legal Commentary – Majed Nachawati – Author

If you’ve been involved in an accident with an elderly driver, you need someone who understands the nuances of dealing with an older tortfeasor. Legal actions such as discovery and taking depositions require a particular set of skills when the perpetrator of an accident is a senior citizen. Fortunately, the expertise and experience of our attorneys can help you sort through these particular legal challenges.

For the second time in the month of October, a driver has died in a car accident on a Houston tollway.

How much did the presence of the Sam Houston Parkway tollbooth contribute to today’s accident? For victims and their families, that’s an extremely important question. The answer can impact your rights under the law and influence the likelihood that you can recover.

Private Gregory Anthony Salas died this week in a tragic automobile accident in Temple, Texas. A member of the 1^st Cavalry Division stationed in Fort Hood, Salas was a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the recipient of several individual and unit citations for his distinguished service. Salas deserved better than to die on a lonely stretch of Texas highway at the hands of a negligent driver.

 

Every week, dozens of Texans die in automobile accidents that are often as preventable as they are tragic. Alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, in-car distractions like cell phones and radios, and improper vehicle maintenance are frequent contributors to today’s accidents. These accidents cause property damage, personal injury, and death – and in the process, change the lives of families just like yours.

While it’s true that most Texas automobile accidents happen on the highway, off-roading can be dangerous. Tragically, last weekend an Amarillo family found out that off-road driving is sometimes fatal.

 

Kelly Bain and Randall Scott Rogers were travelling in a Polaris ATV on a ranch in the Texas panhandle on Saturday, tending deer, checking traps, and not thinking about the risks of off-road driving. Unfortunately, Bain, the driver, took a sharp turn and lost control of the ATV. Rogers, Bain’s passenger, was thrown from the vehicle and moments later, the vehicle landed on top of him, crushing him under its weight. Although Rogers was transported to a nearby hospital, his injuries killed him.

Last night, a Houston driver lost control of his GMC pickup while travelling at highway speeds, slamming into the highway’s retaining wall. The truck spun, coming to a rest in the middle of the highway. Stunned, the driver got out of his car and walked around the vehicle to inspect the damage. Moments later, the driver of a Toyota Avalon approached the truck at high speed. Although he tried to dodge the stalled, damaged truck, the Avalon driver clipped the truck, propelling it into the truck driver, killing him.

Arlington local newspapers reported the tragic deaths of Danielle Ruthstrom, and two other Arlington youths, the Eckel twins in a fiery Arlington Auto Accident.  As a wrongful death lawyer who practices in Arlington and the DFW metroplex, I often am saddened by the impact of the loss of these young lives on the family. Investigation is ongoing, but it is believed that alcohol may have been a factor.  Too often, youths make decisions about drinking without having an appreciation of the magnitude of the risks to themselves and others.  My condolences go out to the families of the youths.  This crash hits close to home, as my younger brother was friends with the twins and is distraught by the loss.

Legal Commentary - Author - Wrongful Death Lawyer - Majed Nachawati

From a legal perspective, the case depends on the underlying facts of the accidents. Our law firm always hires an independent crash reconstructionist to determine what happened and to corroborate what the police findings are. Sometimes we find things that are overlooked or may not be apparent upon an initial investigation.  Questions that need to be answered include where, if any place, were the youths drinking prior to the crash.  Who was driving?  The blood alcohol level of the driver.  From an insurance coverage perspective, the affected families may be able to recover from the auto policy of the owner's vehicle, and any coverage coming from the household in which the youths lived in.  Of course, the insurance companies involved will try to offer a little money and say they will "take care" of it.  Certainly, families who never consult qualified injury lawyers never truly know whether the insurance is telling the truth, as they are not under oath and will stop at nothing to avoid paying out what families are legally entitled to recover. This is why it is important to retain a lawyer.  I have handled multiple death cases where the families had no idea regarding their legal rights.  My heart goes out to the families and I hope they obtain a lawyer to help them through this difficult time.

David Morgan, a middle-aged San Antonio man, died tragically Saturday night when he lost control of his Cadillac SUV while driving on Loop 410.

Medical experts reported that Morgan died from multiple blunt force injuries.

According to local news reports, a young man was killed early Friday in an Arlington auto accident.  Brandon Hambrick was pronounced dead at the scene at approximately 5:30 a.m.  The tragic crash occurred near the 4200 block of North Collins Street in Arlington, Texas.  Speed is believed to have been a factor in the crash.

The driver survived and was transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.  The investigation is continuing and further details are not yet available.

Legal Commentary:

An independent accident reconstruction should be performed as soon as possible to corroborate the police investigation.  For the better part of the last decade handling accidents involving fatalities, I routinely hire experts to conduct an independent investigation so the family of the victim feels comfort in knowing as much as possible about what happened.  In this case, witness statements from the driver, as well as the other individuals in the other vehicle are vital to this investigation before it becomes a cold case. Because two vehicles were involved, multiple insurance companies may be required to tender the full insurance policy arising from the fatality. This could include the driver of the other vehicle, the driver of the vehicle that landed in the pond, and possibly any policy that the young man had or any policy that anyone in his household may have had.  The most important thing to remember is that insurance companies are not to be trusted and will misrepresent coverage and try to avoid paying under the policy whether it is the at fault person's insurance carrier or the carrier of the people or family of the loved one who lost their life.  One common tactic the insurance carriers use is to offer a payout, which is usually much less than what the family of the loved one is entitled to receive.  Of course, the family never finds out what their true rights are unless they obtain an independent opinion from an injury lawyer handlling fatality cases prior to talking to the insurance companies.  Our condolences go out to the family of the young man.

 Multi-car accidents happen every week in cities and on highways across the country. In fact, a 13-car pile-up in Dallas on Monday was matched by an 11-car accident in Houston this morning. A motorcycle and numerous vehicles were damaged in the Houston pile-up; the injury count remains unspecified, but a heavy injury count is common in these kinds of multi-car wrecks.

 

Chain reaction accidents occur most frequently on highly travelled highways in large cities because during peak times – just like this morning’s rush hour accident on Houston’s Beltway 8. The challenges of rebuilding your life if you’re in a multicar accident can be significant.

The Texas Department of Transportation announced this week which roads will receive a speed limit increase to 75 miles per hour. At the top of the list is Interstate 35 north of Austin. I-35 is already one of Texas’s most accident-prone roads. Now, the heavily travelled highway will become even more dangerous, as some experts argue that higher speed limits lead to more reckless driving and, as a result, more accidents.

 

The increased speed limit has Austin-area drivers worried. The Austin area section of I-35 has long been considered one of the most dangerous in Texas. Between January 1991 and December 2000, for instance, 277 people died in automobile accidents on stretches of I-35 in Travis, Hays, and Williamson counties. By comparison, there were just 199 driver fatalities on even busier stretches of I-35 in Dallas County during that time.

 

If you’ve been in an accident in Texas, there’s only one law firm you should consider for your insurance and personal injury claims. Fears | Nachawati is devoted to protecting drivers who have suffered property damage and pain and suffering in their car wreck. The consultation is free!

Today in the west Texas town of Lubbock, a 79-year-old truck driver slammed into a police cruiser after he failed to yield the right of way. The police officer was taken to a local hospital so that doctors could examine his injured arm and check the rest of his body for non-apparent injury, such as a concussion or internal bleeding.

 

Car accidents can cause thousands of dollars in property damage and much, much more in medical costs. Unfortunately, insurance companies frequently try to haggle with victims, knowing that people who are hurt or out of work may be willing to settle their claims for less than they're worth. It’s a tragic reality, but it happens every day.

A San Antonio couple awoke with a start early this morning when they heard the sounds of a car ripping through the fence that borders their home and slamming into their garage. The driver was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and was taken to a local police station for potential DWI charges.

 

Last night’s accident in San Antonio underscores an important reality of automobile accidents that few people consider: what happens when they cause non-car property damage? Insurance policies cover – and fail to cover – all manner of risks. If you’re not careful, you could be stuck with a damaged fence or garage and a driver without the means to compensate you for your loss.

 

Have you sustained property damage as a result of someone’s negligent driving? Are you waiting to recover? Don’t wait any longer.

This weekend a Jeep driver in San Antonio ended her early morning cruise up U.S. 281 by swerving erratically, slamming into the concrete barrier in the center of the road, losing control of her car, sliding through multiple lanes of traffic, striking a nearby car, and finally coming to an abrupt stop after hitting a road-side tree.

 

Accident investigators found alcohol on her breath – a discovery as unsurprising as it is worrisome. For the last three years alcohol has taken the life of 1,400 Texans. That’s almost half of all annual traffic fatalities in Texas!

 

If you’ve been injured in an alcohol-related accident, you need to call the accident experts at Fears | Nachawati immediately.

A car accident in southwest Houston claimed the lives of a driver and his passenger this weekend. The driver lost control of his speeding Chevrolet Camaro, then jumped a curb and slammed into a light pole and a brick wall. The force of the collision was overwhelming, throwing the driver from the vehicle and killing the passenger.

 

This tragic accident is horrible for the families of both victims, but it is particularly difficult for the passenger’s loved ones. The passenger didn’t have control over the car and didn’t have the ability to influence the outcome of the fatal accident. Under Texas law, the driver is not only responsible for his own safety, but her safety, too.

A 65 year-old man in West Houston died Tuesday morning when he cost control of his car and slammed into a utility pole. The driver, who was travelling at a sufficiently high rate of speed to knock down the pole, may have suffered from a medical condition.

Tragically, the man’s family is now left to search for a way forward. The accident was sudden, and the cause remains in doubt. As a result, next-of-kin don’t know whether to blame the driver, the car, the medical condition, or some combination of these factors. Does this sound familiar?

Rear-end accidents aren’t usually fatal. Yesterday’s two-car accident between a Ford F-250 and an SUV ended tragically, however, because of common problem with SUVs: rolling. During afternoon rush hour traffic, the F-250 slammed into the back of the SUV. Although forceful, the initial collision wasn’t fatal. The accident, however, forced the SUV off the road and down the embankment, causing the vehicle to roll several times. As the SUV rolled, the driver was thrown from the car, killing him.

 Tragically, Jason Ybarra, a 17-year-old in San Antonio, Texas, died earlier this week when his car slammed into a brick mailbox and a utility pole. The teen’s Chevy Malibu provided some protection, but not enough. His head injuries were extensive as a result of the early morning accident. Jason died on the scene.

 

Teenagers are at a particularly high risk of single car accidents sustained during poorer driving conditions, such as rain, snow, and night. Inexperience is fatal for thousands of teenage driver every year – teens just like Jason.

 

Has your teenager been injured or killed in a driving accident? You probably have a lot of questions about where you go from here. Financially, one of the most important questions is how you should negotiate with your insurance company. Often, the negotiation isn’t easy, and some insurance companies succeed in taking advantage of inexperienced parents.

The intersection of FM 1101 and FM 306 near New Braunfels, Texas, was the scene of a fatal car accident Friday night when the driver of a Honda Civic broadsided a GMC Yukon. The late night wreck occurred when the teenager driving the Honda Civic rolled through the intersection. The “t-boned” Yukon became impossible to control, rolling and throwing the driver from the car. Friday night’s accident underscores important realities: SUVs aren’t always safer than cars, and a roll is often fatal.

A woman suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol is now in serious condition after her reckless driving put her in a hospital emergency room and injured the driver of a school bus. Only by sheer luck were children not injured: the Spring Branch ISD bus had dropped off a group of students after a football game just moments before the accident.

 

School buses are less stable than their size suggests. Top-heavy and long, when school buses are hit in the rear quarter panel, they are at serious risk of rolling. That’s precisely what happened last night in northwest Houston when the driver of a relatively small car struck the bus at a high rate of speed, causing it to flip.

 

Has your child been injured in a school bus accident? Every year as millions of children go back to school – and to extracurricular events like football games and debate tournaments, school bus accidents happen, causing injury and, in some tragic cases, death.

In the kind of tragedy that happens all too frequently on Texas highways, an out-of-control driver crossed over the median this weekend and slammed into an oncoming car. What caused the reckless driver’s dangerous – and ultimately lethal – drift into head-on traffic isn’t clear. What is clear, however, is that all the safety protections of the victim’s car and all the medical advances associated with a major metropolitan area like Houston weren’t enough to save Rosemary Rogers Olsen, the victim who died at the Memorial Hermann Hospital.

 

Lethal automobile accidents happen almost everyday in Texas. In all too many instances, these accidents kill and injure without warning and as a result of dangerous decisions – like texting-while-driving and driving drunk – by negligent drivers. Frequently, punitive and exemplary damages are appropriate in accidents where deliberate recklessness contributes to the victim’s injury or death.

 

Fears | Nachawati attorneys know what it takes to secure the compensation your family deserves in the wake of a lethal automobile accident. You have rights worth protecting! Let us help you fight for them. For a free consultation, call us at 1.866.545.8364 or send an email to mn@fnlawfirm.com. We’re ready to fight for you!

Two children are in a Port Aransas, Texas, hospital today, clinging to their lives the driver of an SUV fell asleep at the wheel. These children are the lucky ones, unfortunately. The accident took the lives of two others.

 

In all, eight children and two adults were injured this past weekend when the driver fell asleep behind the wheel, veering off the roadway and striking a concrete culvert that caused the car to flip. Because several of the passengers weren’t wearing seatbelts, the passengers were thrown around inside the car – and at least one child was thrown out.

 

Sleeping and driving is just as dangerous – and, in fact, probably more dangerous – as texting and driving or drinking and driving. Unfortunately, the knowledge of that danger doesn’t prevent Texans from driving tired every day.

A 71-year-old woman passed away earlier this week after her vehicle, a Volkswagen Beetle, collided head on with a Ford Expedition. It is unclear what the caused the accident, although some speculate that the woman’s age may have contributed to her veering into the lane of oncoming traffic. The woman died at the scene; the driver of the SUV survived with merely a dislocated shoulder.

 

Accidents like the one in the Woodlands, Texas, this week are tragic. They call into question whether elderly men and women are acting responsibly when they get out on the highway. Given the disparity between the size of the SUV and that of a compact car, they also raise important questions about what kind of liability large-car owners should have.

A 10-year-old is in a hospital because an 18-year-old thought it was a good idea to race his car through the streets of San Antonio. At the time of the accident, the 10-year-old was riding in a Ford Expedition with three of his siblings and his parents. The 18-year-old racer was travelling so fast that he injured the child, despite the fact that a Ford Expedition is one of the sturdiest cars on the road today.

 

Have you been in a car accident recently? You need to know all of the facts and how to ask the right questions. The driver that hit you may have been involved in reckless behavior, such as racing, that could increase his or her liability. What questions should you ask?

A teen driver in Houston died Wednesday night as a result of dialing-and-driving. The teen driver, who was talking on a cell phone while driving, misjudged the distance between himself and the car ahead of him. When he finally realized that he was about to plow into the back of the car in his lane, he swerved, overcorrected, and ended up in oncoming traffic. An approaching car in the other lane slammed into the teen's car. The reckless teenage driver, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident, died soon after the crash.

 

Distracted driving -- whether the distraction comes in the form of a phone call, text message, radio, or another passenger -- claims thousands of lives in Texas every year. Although the Houston teen tragically paid the price of his reckless behavior, often that's not the case. Too many times the person who is injured or killed is an innocent bystander who happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Texas drivers should know that between 2008 and 2011 Chrysler produced nearly a quarter million defective Ram pickup trucks.

Somewhere on Interstate 10 outside of Kerrville, Texas, a Boy Scout troop leader had a fatal heart attack while driving six Boy Scouts home from summer camp.

One passenger, however, did sustain a broken wrist and required longer care in a nearby hospital.

Three years ago, a San Antonio high school senior roared through a residential community at 70 miles per hour, more than twice the posted speed limit. At the intersection of Mission Road and East Young Avenue, the student who was just beginning his adult life, Patrick Ryan Barrera, slammed into the car of soon-to-retire Margarito Lopez, 64, killing him.

 

Last week, after a lengthy trial a San Antonio jury rendered an exceptionally forgiving verdict to Mr. Barrera. As Raymond Martinez, Mr. Barrera’s attorney, explained of Mr. Barerra’s absent desire to harm, “He didn’t have any intent to hurt anybody.” As a result, Mr. Martinez suggested, the jury was unable to find Mr. Barrera guilty of the prosecution’s allegation of criminally negligent homicide.

 

Mr. Barerra’s approaching freedom appears to be the result of good lawyering by his attorney—or, perhaps, ineffective representation by the prosecution. Either way, Mr. Barerra’s case drives home an important point: having a good lawyer is often more important than having good facts or good law.

A 21-year-old man, Colby Galland, died last weekend in Wolfforth, Texas, on FM 179 after his 2004 Ford pickup truck rolled. Preliminary investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety confirms that Mr. Galland was not wearing a seat belt. Investigators have yet to conclude whether alcohol or excessive speed might have contributed to the deadly roll.

 

Trucks like Mr. Gallands are twice as likely to roll than passenger cars. Moreover, nearly half of all highway fatalities are the result of rollovers. For truck drivers, the risks are real and the consequences can be deadly. If you or a loved one have been involved in a rollover, contact the personal injury experts at Fears | Nachawati.

San Antonio area EMS director Jeff Fincke has asked city officials in Kendall County to impose tougher regulations on private ambulances speeding to nonemergency calls. Specifically, Fincke wants Kendall County cities to pass city ordinances, modeled after the one passed by San Antonio, that require ambulances to receive permission to run “hot” – that is, use lights and sirens – in response to requests for help.

 

Have you or a loved one been in an accident with an ambulance? If so, it may be time to ask the question: was the ambulance speeding out of necessity or because it was trying to beat another ambulance to the scene of concern.

Last weekend a motorcyclist, Carlton Neal Bare, died suddenly and tragically when a drunk driver failed to yield, turning directly into Mr. Bare. The drunk driver, Carlos Loris Lengua, blew a breathalyzer over the legal limit when police officers arrived at the scene of the accident.

 

Drunk driving kills nearly 15,000 Americans every year. In fact, at more than 1,500 drivers every year Texas is the leading state in drunk driving fatalities. Thousands more are injured – sometimes altering the rest of their lives – because of drink driving.

Texas legislators currently meeting in Austin are considering several variations on the same theme: Texas law should forbid texting while driving. In fact, the only real debate it seems is whether the definition of “texting” should include reading emails on a cell phone. Senate Bill 119 and House Bill 103, for instance, prohibit reading, writing or sending text messages while driving; the more expansive Senate Bill 46 and House Bill 243 target phone-based text communication and specifically include emails.

 

Have you been in an accident with a distracted driver? If so, the liability they face may be greater than they would otherwise.

 A Fort Bend county sheriff’s deputy, John Norsworthy, died recently when a piece of road debris obstructed his car’s path and forced him to take evasive action. Responding to an emergency call, Mr. Norsworthy approached a four-foot square board of thick material used for buffering sound. Mr. Norsworthy veered to avoid the debris, lost control of his car, crashed into a ditch, hit a tree and flipped. Unfortunately, Mr. Norsworthy passed away as a result of his injuries.

Texas Department of Public Safety reports show that objects such as those that led to the death of Mr. Norsworthy are a significant threat to drivers’ safety. In the last five years, road debris has caused 2,728 accidents, including 756 injuries and 19 fatalities.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) affect 1.7 million Americans every year, including tens of thousands of Texans. Caused by motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, child abuse and recreational activities like as football, TBIs can result in symptoms that range from mild to severe. In many cases, symptoms include disorientation and loss of consciousness, as well as long-term effects like difficulty sleeping, depression and memory loss. A New England Journal of Medicine study recently found TBI victims are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s, dementia and Parkinson’s disease later in life.

If your teenager has suffered a head injury while driving or playing football, contact the TBI experts at Fears | Nachawati.

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.
