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.

A driver traveling at a high rate of speed was killed after rear-ending an 18-wheeler. The accident took place in Arlington, Texas, early Sunday morning.

The deceased victim, 41-year-old Bradley Larson, was driving a Honda Accord eastbound on Interstate 30 at speeds up to 100 mph. He then rear-ended an 18-wheeler and struck an Interstate median.

Larson died on the scene, but the 18-wheeler driver was unhurt.

Because alcohol was found in the Honda, police believe intoxication may have been a contributing factor.

Police are currently seeking information on a second vehicle that was possibly involved in the accident. Witnesses describe seeing a “small blue car” traveling at high speeds near the Honda shortly before the accident occurred.

Anyone with information about the second car is asked to call Arlington police at 817-459-5635.

A one-car accident in Forth Worth, Texas, killed two women in the early hours of Friday morning.

The fatal accident took place at approximately 3am on the exit ramp leading from westbound Highway 121 to southbound Interstate 35W.

The vehicle collided with a guard rail, causing the driver to lose control of her Honda sedan. Police are not entirely sure at this point, but it does appear that the driver was speeding at the time of the accident. Overnight wet weather may also have been a contributing factor.

Also, several containers for alcoholic beverages were found in the vehicle. The two victims, both in their 20s, were not wearing seat belts.

Texas Governor Rick Perry broke his collarbone on the night of Tuesday, June 9^th while riding his bicycle near his home. Perry, age 59, also suffered minor abrasions to his right elbow.

Perry was treated and released from Seton Medical Center in Austin, Texas. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Perry has stated that the accident occurred while he was heading down a hill on a familiar biking trail. For reasons that are not completely clear, Perry went over the handle bars, landing on the backside of his right shoulder.

Perry’s injuries have delayed his trips to Corpus Christi, Galveston and South Padre Island to sign bills related to windstorm insurance reform and supplemental funding for the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

A 23-year-old man was killed when his car was struck by a Chevy Silverado truck traveling the wrong direction on U.S. Highway 290. The driver of the Silverado fled the scene of the accident on foot.  The victim was Gilberto Huerta of Conroe, Texas. He and two passengers were taken to a nearby hospital where Huerta later died of his injuries. The two passengers are both in stable condition.

At a minimum, says Austin police Sergeant Richard Stresing, the driver of the Silverado will face charges of failure to stop and render aid, which is a felony in Texas. Because the driver left his vehicle at the scene, police feel confident that they have enough information to track him down.
