Medical records are a vitally important part of any litigation that involves a person’s injury or wellbeing. However, at the same time a person has the right to keep their health information private, and laws have been enacted that protect the personal health information of individuals.

Wrongful deaths- Drowning Tragedies Tragically, in this month alone, four young lives were lost in three separate Texas drowning incidents. Negligence and Water Injuries--Sadly, safety guidelines are not always heeded and often even the mandatory regulations are not always abided. Most drowning and water injury accidents are avoidable. Many of these accidents are due to the negligence of another person or party. In general, negligence is when, “Conduct … falls below the standards of behavior established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm.” This is an emotionally charged issue. Nobody is happy when a child dies or is seriously injured. No monetary reward resolves the pain but legally, if negligence occurred it might ward off another child from being harmed.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, last year, more than 29,000 commercial motor vehicle (CMV) accidents and injuries occurred on our Texas roadways. Typically, when a tractor-trailer truck is involved in an accident, because of its sheer size, the damage and injuries tend to be more significant than accidents that solely involve single-passenger vehicles. An 18-wheeler can weigh roughly 80,000 pounds, whereas a passenger vehicle weighs only about 3,000 pounds. Traffic accidents happen everyday in Texas, and beyond. The risk of personal injury is an unfortunate reality on our roadways. If you have suffered a personal injury from a vehicular accident, call our office today for a consultation.
