Crane kills Worker In Occupational Accident

A construction worker in a Houston suburb died yesterday when the metal form of a crane tilted, then broke loose, trapping him underneath. During the accident, a metal strut struck the worker on the head, killing him. The worker, just 28-years-old, was the unintended victim of a construction tool that failed in its obligation to protect him, resulting in his tragic and unnecessary death.

Workplace accidents cause injuries, often referred to as “occupational injuries,” every day.

BP Shuttles offshore Platform Workers

BP sent workers back to three offshore oil and gas platforms earlier today in response to a shift in Tropical Storm Dan’s trajectory to the south. In the last week, hundreds of workers were evacuated from platforms in anticipation of the violent storm and the injury that it was expected to cause. Hundreds of evacuees may sound like a lot, but actually only 11 of the 679 manned platforms in the Gulf were evacuated.

Drilling oil in the Gulf of Mexico is dangerous business, as last year’s Deepwater Horizon blowout vividly showed. The risk isn’t just for the environment, of course, but for workers as well. Every year, platform and oil field workers are injured and killed as a result of the dangers in oil and gas exploration.

Do you have a loved one who works in the oil fields, either on land or in the Gulf? They should know the risks they face and their legal right to a safe work environment. If they’re injured, they should fight back! The Fears | Nachawati occupational injury experts can fight for their safety and secure the justice they deserve.

San Antonio Teen Charged With Racing

A 10-year-old is in a hospital because an 18-year-old thought it was a good idea to race his car through the streets of San Antonio. At the time of the accident, the 10-year-old was riding in a Ford Expedition with three of his siblings and his parents. The 18-year-old racer was travelling so fast that he injured the child, despite the fact that a Ford Expedition is one of the sturdiest cars on the road today.

Have you been in a car accident recently? You need to know all of the facts and how to ask the right questions. The driver that hit you may have been involved in reckless behavior, such as racing, that could increase his or her liability. What questions should you ask?

Distracted Driving kills Teen Driver

A teen driver in Houston died Wednesday night as a result of dialing-and-driving. The teen driver, who was talking on a cell phone while driving, misjudged the distance between himself and the car ahead of him. When he finally realized that he was about to plow into the back of the car in his lane, he swerved, overcorrected, and ended up in oncoming traffic. An approaching car in the other lane slammed into the teen's car. The reckless teenage driver, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident, died soon after the crash.

Distracted driving -- whether the distraction comes in the form of a phone call, text message, radio, or another passenger -- claims thousands of lives in Texas every year. Although the Houston teen tragically paid the price of his reckless behavior, often that's not the case. Too many times the person who is injured or killed is an innocent bystander who happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
