Big Rig Wrongful Death Accidents in the US

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

Truck Accident Lawyers

Let’s face it; driving is a big responsibility.  Most people do not understand the fact that driving is considered a privilege by the states that issue our licenses.  The police and the driving laws they enforce can only protect us so much.  While driving a vehicle is hard enough to do with law abiding motorists, it is even harder to do with those who take this responsibility lightly.  In 2008 over 10.2 million car accidents were reported, of those. 33% resulted in a fatality.  While this number is relatively low, the numbers of fatalities from big rig accidents are much higher.  That same year, of the 123,918 accidents reported, a staggering 3.9% resulted in death.  With an estimated 15.5 million trucks licensed to drive in the U.S., our highways only seem to get more and more dangerous when traveling.  Because most vehicles are at a disadvantage if they get into an accident with a big rig, listed below are questions you should ask to know if you need a lawyer because of wrongful death.

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.

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.

Contact Rocky Haire and Justin Steinbock at the Denton office of Haire Law Firm to schedule an initial consultation about Nursing Home Abuse.
