A controversy of speed limits recently hit the Texas court system. While Texas lawmakers put forth effort to increase speed limits on future highways, others claim that the rise in speed will concurrently raise accident and fatality rates. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, traffic deaths dropped in 2010 and are averaging a record low since 1949. If the traffic deaths are dropping, people are curious to know what will happen when the speed starts increasing. (more…)

Wrongful Death Texas
Monday, January 31st, 2011Wrongful death lawsuits are brought on behalf of individuals who died as a result of another person’s negligence or wrongful actions. Only the executor of the decedent’s estate can file suit, and only designated distributees can receive compensation.
Statutes of limitations are limited to two years in the great state of Texas. Therefore, if someone you love was killed in a car accident or other tragic situation due to someone else’s actions, it is very important that you contact a personal injury lawyer immediately. The Haire Law Firm is fully dedicated to personal injury law and we will exceed your expectations. For more information, visit www.hrj-law.com or click here to send us a message.
Nursing home abuse Texas
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011We’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.
Contact Rocky Haire and Justin Steinbock at the Denton office of Haire Law Firm to schedule an initial consultation about Nursing Home Abuse.
Truck accident attorneys
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011When 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.
