A Frisco woman and her two young children were killed, while her husband and the children's father was critically injured, in a wreck on I-20 in Kaufman County this weekend.  The family was traveling in heavy traffic in an SUV when an 18-wheeler struck them from behind.  The force of the impact was enough to push their SUV into another car, which in turn was pushed into another 18-wheeler and into the highway median.  The SUV then caught fire.  The driver of the first truck was injured, as were the driver and passengers in the second car.

A lawsuit has been filed after a drunk driver smashed his truck into a deli, causing patrons to be hit by flying debris and falling equipment. One of the patrons, a Texas man who lost one of his eyes in the accident, has filed a lawsuit against both the driver of the truck as well as the owner of the deli.

Russell January suffered his eye injury when a meat slicer fell on his head. January and his wife have filed a lawsuit against Rodney Eddie, the intoxicated truck driver, and Gonzuela Williams, the owner of Durham’s Meat Market.

The accident took place on November 14^th at around 5:30 p.m. January was eating at Durham’s Meat Market at the time, which is located in Port Arthur, Texas.

While January was in the deli, Eddie drove his pickup truck into the store, breaking through the wall and hitting several fixtures.

January was struck by a meat slicer, which, according to the lawsuit, caused not only the loss of his eye but also damage to his brain, a fractured skull and a fractured jaw.

In the lawsuit, January is seeking damages for medical costs, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement and physical impairment.

January is joined in his lawsuit by his wife who is seeking damages for loss of comfort, solace, care, love and affection because of the accident.

The lawsuit blames Eddie for driving while intoxicated, driving too fast and failing to stay in his lane.

Williams is accused of negligence for having an unreasonably dangerous place of business because of the placement of heavy fixtures. The lawsuit further accuses Williams of failure to provide a barrier to protect his patrons from motor vehicles when it was foreseeable that a vehicle might jump the curb and strike the building.

Accident victims are sometimes nervous about meeting with a personal injury lawyer for the first time. For many accident victims, their personal injury lawsuit will be their first experience with the legal process.

To help you get the most out of your initial consultation, Fears | Nachawati has put together this list of documents that you should bring to your first meeting with your Texas personal injury lawyer.

The items on this list will help your personal injury attorney evaluate your case and determine whether you have a viable claim and how much compensation you are likely to receive.

Here are the most important types of information for you to bring to your initial consultation with your Texas personal injury attorney:

A written account of the accident: Write out a detailed narrative of how the accident occurred, including the events preceding and following the incident. Include as many details as possible. Your attorney will be able to determine which details are relevant to your claim.

Contact information for the person(s) who caused the accident: Take along a list of all the contact information you have for the person or people responsible for the accident, including their name, phone number, address, driver’s license number and insurance information, if applicable.

Contact information for witnesses: Make a list of the people who witnessed your accident, include as much contact information you have as well as a brief description of what you believe each witness saw.

Photographs: Bring along any photos you have of the scene of the accident as well as photos of your injuries and photos documenting any damage to your personal property, such as your vehicle.

Copies of accident reports: If an official report of the accident was made, such as a police report or a work accident report, bring copies for your attorney.

Medical bills: The amount of compensation you may be entitled to depends in large part on your medical expenses, so bring along copies of all the medical bills related to treatment for your injuries caused by the accident.

Medical records: Similarly, bring any documentation you have of the nature and extent of your injuries.

Repair estimates: If your personal property was damaged in the accident, bring copies of any professional repair estimates you have obtained.
