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

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.

Marcos Ruiz, age 17, died Monday at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth from injuries sustained in an accident Monday morning involving an SUV and an 18-wheeler.  The wreck occurred on I-30 in Arlington near the Lamar Boulevard / Cooper Street exit.

Early this morning, the Miami Harold reported a car accident involving a deputy car.    

A Broward sheriff's deputy was injured Tuesday morning in a car crash at Weston Road and State Road 84.

The deputy collided with a pickup truck about 6 a.m. on the eastern edge of Weston.

The deputy was trapped in his cruiser and rescuers had to extricate him, said Broward Sheriff's Office spokesman Michael Jachles.

The deputy, who has not been identified, is at Broward General Medical Center and did not suffer any life-threatening injuries, said Jachles.

The driver of the pickup refused treatment. BSO traffic homicide detectives are investigating the crash.

This is yet another case where the cause of the crash is unclear. Legal issues may be involved, and it is important to call a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

Late this afternoon, a major trucking accident occurred in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex resulting in serious injury to the driver.  In 18 wheeler accidents, it is important that vital evidence is preserved, including the black box, data recorder, the tractor, driver logs, tires, and any other important evidence or information relating to the accident. The Dallas Morning News covered the trucking accident:

One injured, lanes closed after tanker overturns on Highway 183 in Bedford, Texas

Commuters traveling westbound on State Highway 183 near Bedford should find an alternate route home, officials said Tuesday afternoon.

A fuel tanker truck traveling westbound on State Highway 183 overturned Tuesday afternoon near the northbound State Highway 121 ramp, causing officials to close traffic lanes while the spilled fuel is cleared.

One of three traffic lanes on westbound State Highway 183 and the northbound ramp to State Highway 121 were closed as of early afternoon, Bedford police Lt. Kirk Roberts said.

It’s likely the wreckage won’t be removed until 7 p.m., Lt. Roberts said, because workers are cleaning the fuel spill before they remove the overturned truck

The truck driver was transported in serious condition to Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, police said.
