Commentary

Normally in my blogs, I write about accidents that I read about in the news, and discuss how they play out on the civil side of the law. Without many details it is difficult to speak to an effect of this accident. I can say that in personal injury law, successful cases come down to proving a breach of duty, or negligence.
In just about any situation, parties (where unbeknownst or not) owe other parties a standard of care. Think of the motorist next to you on the roadway, who you must trust does not veer into your lane when you take that turn up ahead. In some capacity, you are trusting that they abide by their legally-given duty of safe operation of a motor vehicle. This same duty applies in other situations, and could very well apply in this parking lot. Would it be reasonable to assume the driver of the truck could have predicted injury had he drove away? Conversely, was he driving away to avoid a threat? These are issues for police reports and separate investigations, but they do speak to how a liability determination is made. With that determination, strategies towards compensating an accident can start to develop.

What this blog is all about:

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of wrongful death cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to wrongful death accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions.
