Texas Injury Law Blog : Dallas Accident Lawyer & Attorney : Fears Nachawati Law Firm : Personal Injury, Wrongful Death : Ft. Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Texas

San Antonio motorcycle driver Robert Louis Carter III died in the early morning hours today after he was rear-ended by a hit-and-run driver and subsequent run over by a drunk driver in her 20s. Incredibly, the drunk driver was so out-of-touch with her surroundings that she continued to drive even after her airbags deployed.

Mr. Carter’s death is a tragic reminder that Texas highways can be dangerous, particularly at night and for people driving and riding on motorcycles. As if that’s not enough, reckless and inebriated car drivers make Texas’s heavily travelled roads and highways particularly risky.

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.

Mediation in personal injury cases typically occurs after a lawsuit is filed, but before a trial before a jury or judge takes place.  Once an injury suit is filed, mediation is usually your last chance to resolve your case, absent a full-blown trial, and , many cases in fact settle at mediation.  During mediation, the mediator is a neutral arbiter between the parties and their goal is to try and resolve the injury claim in a manner that all parties can live with.  Your lawyer should explain to you how mediation works well in advance.  Typically, mediation lasts a half day or a full day, depending on the complexity of the case.  At the beginning of mediation, parties meet in one conference room where your lawyer makes a short presentation to the mediator and the party being sued concerning the facts of your injury case.  Sometimes, the attorney for the party being sued responds with a brief statement and the parties then break into separate rooms.  The mediator typically goes back and forth into separate conference rooms with monetary offers.  If the parties to the injury suit can come together on a settlement, the mediator drafts a short settlement agreement and the injury claim is finalized usually within 30 days following mediation.  If however, the parties are unable to come together on a fair settlement, the case will go to trial.  It is important to ensure your lawyer is willing to go the distance and take your case to trial if necessary.  Lawyers at my firm, Fears | Nachawati, attend mediation frequently, and more importantly, will absolutely take a case to trial if the negligent party (at fault party) is unwilling to pay a fair and reasonable settlement amount.
