Two Killed in Tractor trailer crash near Schertz and New Braunfels city limits
On June 2, 2010, there was another tractor trailer crash on the Interstate near New Braunfels Texas resulting in the death of two individuals. Two men were trapped and ultimately killed in the burning cab. Our condolences to the families of these victims. This is a tragic situation that should not have happened and probably could have been prevented. Many times deaths like this are due to company error and/or a vehicle product defect. If you have any questions pertaining to wrongful death, company negligence or a vehicle product defect you need to speak with a Texas Law Firm specializing in injury, death and product defect cases.

Accidents happen suddenly and without warning. They always occur at the worse times. After an accident, you’re not in the right frame of mind nor do you have the necessary experience to effectively deal with law enforcement agencies, body shops, employers, insurance companies and adjusters. The last thing you need is an inexperienced attorney or medical provider calling you soliciting your business. These callers add no benefit to you or your legal case. The solicitation is harassing, wrongful and can be illegal. Most solicitors simply want to profit off your injury and do not have your interest at heart. You need an experienced attorney handling your injury case. Ignore solicitation that will harm you and your case. Call an experienced attorney of your choice.

In some types of cases, especially those involving defective products, the doctrine of strict liability comes into play. In such cases, it is not necessary to demonstrate a specific act of negligence because sufficient evidence of negligence is provided by the mere existence of the defect that caused the injury. It is only necessary to show that the defect exists and that it caused an injury despite proper use of the product. Any and all parties responsible for the defect including the designers, manufacturers , distributors and retailers can be found liable and ordered to pay damages
If you have been injured by a defective product call Ketterman Rowland and Westlund for a free consultation.
Protect your rights!
In most personal injury cases, an attorney must be able to identify and present compelling evidence of a specific act or acts of negligence on the part of the defendant in order to establish fault.. Fault or negligence is defined as:
“ The failure of a person to act with the care and diligence with which a reasonable person would be expected to act in a similar circumstance, resulting in an injury to an unwitting victim”.
For example, in cases involving medical malpractice, it must be shown that a physician, nurse, anesthesiologist, pharmacist, or other medical professional committed a flagrant error or otherwise fell below an acceptable standard of care and that this failure directly contributed to the injury of a patient. Without this show of negligence, liability cannot be established, and the victim will be unable to recover compensation.
It is vitally important that the victim of medical mal-practice be represented by an attorney that has experience handling medical mal-practice cases.
If you have been injured due to the negligence of a medical practitioner call Ketterman Rowland and Westlund for a free consultation regarding your rights to recover damages.
A ,concept that common to all personal injury cases is the concept of liability. Liability refers to the responsibility of one party for the injuries caused by his or her reckless, careless, or deliberately wrongful action to another party. In order to recover compensation for the losses and expenses related to his or her client’s injury, a personal injury attorney must present a carefully prepared argument in which a direct connection is clearly made between the defendant’s actions (orin-actions) and the injury to the plaintiff. Only then will a defendant be found liable and, therefore, legally responsible to make the injured party “whole” again through financial compensation.
If you have been injured call Ketterman Rowland and Westlund, personal injury lawyers.
