Motorcycle Crashes and Causes

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Motorcycle Crashes and Causes

Whether you were riding a Harley or a Honda, seek legal and medical attention after an accident. Motorcycle crashes usually involve distracted, inattentive, or drunk drivers, or hazardous road conditions, and can result in:

  • a motorcycle being forced off the road
  • a head-on collision with the other vehicle
  • a motorcycle being hit at the side or rear
  • a motorcycle going down in the road, vulnerable to other traffic
  • a motorcycle being tossed in the air

Legal Representation by a Fellow Motorcyclist

Our cycle-riding, motorcycle crash lawyers understand the prejudice and bias that are often directed at motorcycle operators, first-hand. In accidents involving motorcycles, we know that the motorcycle driver often is assumed to be at fault. Our Texas attorneys, Rocky Haire and Justin Steinbock, know how to combat this bias in pursuing your claim for motorcycle injuries suffered as a result of the carelessness or inattention of another driver.

A used car dealer has a duty to discover and repair any obvious defects in the vehicle, or defects that are reasonably discoverable.

Injuries to children

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Injuries to children are among the most distressing. Very young children cannot really communicate their suffering or their understanding of an accident. Older children may somehow think that an accident was “their fault.” Adolescents are on the threshold of adult life. As parents ourselves, have a genuine understanding of your situation. Our Denton child injury attorneys, Rocky Haire and Justin Steinbock, provide you with skilled and persistent representation when your child is injured in an accident.

Why You Need Compensation for a Child’s Injury

While compensation cannot erase the fear, the anguish, and the pain your family is experiencing, it can help with medical bills, rehabilitation, emotional suffering, nursing care at home, and many of the costs associated with a serious accident to your child. To discuss filing an accident injury claim for your child’s injures, contact the compassionate and knowledgeable accident injury lawyers at our firm today. Contact Haire Law Firm, to schedule a free initial consultation.

Nursing home abuse Texas

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

We’re there when you need us!

Sadly, nursing home abuse is a growing area of the law. As our population ages, an increasing number of people are residing in assisted living facilities. More residents in such facilities lead to more instances of abuse and neglect. The Denton nursing home abuse attorneys at our firm are very knowledgeable about this area of the law. If you believe that a loved one in a nursing home is being abused or neglected in some way, it is important to speak to an elder law attorney immediately. Contact the elder neglect lawyers at Haire Law Firm to discuss your concerns.

Nursing Home Neglect

Elder neglect is the failure of a caregiver to take care of the physical, medical, or emotional needs of an elderly person. Such abuse may result from inadequate training or insufficient staffing. However, the facility operator is responsible for providing adequate care for residents. Poor training or insufficient staffing is not a defense against charges of elder abuse or negligence. Evidence of elder neglect or abuse in nursing homes may include bedsores, ulcers, fractures, malnutrition, dehydration, and unexplained bruises and injuries.

Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse, unlike neglect, is almost always the result of deliberate mistreatment. Nursing home abuse can be physical, such as hitting, slapping, shaking, or inappropriate use of restraints. It can also be emotional, involving things like humiliation, yelling, and verbal insults. Additionally, abuse can include sexual abuse, dangerous forms of punishment, and taking advantage of residents financially. Sadly, it can even result in death.

Our Most Vulnerable Citizens

The elderly are among our most vulnerable citizens. They can be lonely, afraid, confused, and unwilling to report instances of abuse and neglect. This is why it is critical for family members to be alert to signs of elder abuse and neglect. If you suspect that a loved one is being abused or neglected in any type of care facility for the elderly, contact a skilled elder law attorney right away. Our compassionate and dedicated attorneys at our firm, Haire Law Firm, have much experience in this area of the law. We know what to do to stop the abuse and secure compensation for any injuries that occurred.

Truck accident attorneys

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

When you retain our Denton truck accident lawyers, you put our significant experience and knowledge to work for you. Our truck accident attorneys immediately review insurance coverage of the truck involved in the accident. We develop your injury claim case and work to maximize compensation for you. Contact the attorneys at our firm, Haire Law Firm, to discuss your truck accident injury claim. For more information about truck accidents and injuries, please review the information at our truck accident practice center.

Act Quickly

When you call our firm, we have investigators begin reconstructing the accident immediately. Time is crucial – some evidence, such as truck driver logs, may not be available permanently. Additionally, long-haul trucking companies occasionally disappear after an accident, making it difficult to find the corporate offices and identify the insurance company. If we start investigating right away after a truck accident, we are in a better position to maximize your recovery.

Sign Nothing

Insurance companies often try to have victims of truck accidents sign waivers and liability limitation documents. They may offer a settlement that is far less than you deserve. The insurance companies have attorneys working hard to limit their exposure and the amount they have to pay for the accident. Before you sign anything, talk to an experienced truck accident lawyer at our firm. For more information about truck accidents, review the information at our Truck Accident Practice Center.

Types of Truck Accidents

The attorneys at our firm are well known for their litigation skills and determination. We fight for fair compensation for victims of truck accident injuries. We have helped individuals recover compensation for many types of collisions and accidents involving trucks, including:

  • semi-trailer accidents
  • gravel truck accidents
  • truck-car collisions
  • truck-pedestrian accidents
  • single truck crashes
  • truck accidents causing death and life-threatening injuries
  • delivery truck crashes
  • bus-truck accidents
  • jack-knifed trucks
  • trucks damaging property

Due to size disparities and the basic laws of physics, any collision between a commercial truck and a passenger car is likely to result in serious injuries and significant property damage.

To speak with a tractor-trailer accident attorney who will take on the insurance and trucking industries for you, contact the truck accident lawyers at our firm, Haire Law Firm, today to discuss your truck accident injuries. We’re there when you need us.
