Teens Against Distracted Driving Launched by Attorney to Stop Epidemic of Teen Accidents

Seattle accident attorney, Jason Epstein founded TADD (Teens Against Distracted Driving) to educate teens of the dangers of texting and driving, and hopefully put an end to the problem all together. Click here for a link to the TADD website. Teens are invited to sign their name on the pledge online, and in return receive a free wrist bracelet. Jason had no idea how much energy and enthusiasm would be generated by this program, but he has seen the commitment teens have to making a change.

I have teamed with Jason, along with ten other attorneys from around the country, to build awareness of the problem of teens texting and driving in our communities. Jason has been asked to speak at schools in his community and has encouraged me to do the same.

The program is in its critical growth stage and is expected to continue to grow exponentially and gain more support in the next few months. The idea is that if you can educate teens and stop the habit early, we can help save many young lives.

I will do my share in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Please call my office if you or someone you know would be interested in arranging a speaking engagement anywhere in the DFW metroplex. After being a personal injury lawyer for 18 years, I have seen my fair share of tragedies caused by things just like texting and driving.

Take a stand and pledge not to text and drive!

Mistake No. 2 That Will Wreck Your Texas Accident Case

In my book 15 Mistakes that Will Wreck your Texas Accident Case, I address some of the most important issues I have observed over the years while helping thousands of injury victims. I believe that with this information, you can take control of your unfortunate situation.

Mistake No. 2: Failing to promptly obtain medical treatment

If you are hurt in an accident, it’s absolutely crucial that you seek medical attention immediately. If you do not seek medical treatment soon after an accident you probably will not have a viable injury claim. Insurance companies and juries assume that if you are hurt you would have gone to the doctor.

It is vital that you do not try to “tough it out” or “hope it gets better” because it not only delays your recovery from the injuries but it negatively affects the success of your personal injury claim. Depending on the extent of your injuries, your initial treatment might very well be taking an ambulance ride to the hospital or visiting the emergency room on your own.

Do not let a lack of health insurance stand in your way to cause you to endure pain unnecessarily. A good place to start is by visiting an urgent treatment car facility near you. You can also rely on the local public health system.

Another option is to contact an attorney who specializes in injury cases. When requested, I will happily provide the names of various doctors who will provide proper treatment and delay billing patients until their case is resolved.

No matter which option you choose, it is extremely important that you seek medical attention promptly. Failing to do so will almost certainly “wreck” your case.

Hopefully, this helps to educate and inform you about how and when to seek medical treatment after an injury. I hope this makes you more aware of how important it is to not make a mistake that can “wreck” your case!

Another Free Ride to an Intoxicated Motorcycle Rider: Ride Safe Ride Sober Program Does It Again

On Monday night, we received another call to take an intoxicated motorcycle rider home. And we happily got the rider and his bike home safely. This time, it was the actual motorcycle rider who gave us a call. He had got our information from a local motorcycle dealer. We are excited, as this means the word is getting out about our program.

Here is some info about the Ride Safe Ride Sober free motorcycle towing program. If anyone sees a motorcycle rider who is impaired/intoxicated, all they have to do is call Terry Purdom at 817-319-2222. Terry will make sure the rider and his motorcycle get home safely. It sure beats driving while drunk and possibly being involved in a motorcycle wreck. The best part: the tow is free to the rider, as it is being paid for by the Anderson Law Firm. This free service is only available in Tarrant County, Texas.

Anderson Law Firm Moves to New Office Outside Downtown Fort Worth, Texas

The move is done! The Anderson Law Firm has now completed its move to a much better location for us and our clients. Today is our first day in our new office and I am very glad to have the move in our rear view mirror. Our new office is located at 1310 W. El Paso Street, Fort Worth, 76102. Our phone numbers remain the same.

Our new location makes our office much more accessible to all of our clients throughout the the DFW metroplex. I like being centrally located. The first part of my career was spent in downtown Fort Worth. But the tornado that hit downtown Fort Worth in March of 2000 pushed me out of downtown. It has taken me a while to get back close to the central business district, but I am looking forward to it.

At our new location, we will continue to represent the victims of reckless conduct, such as those harmed as a result of DWI accidents, tractor trailer wrecks and motorcycle accidents.

Welcome to My New Fort Worth, Texas Injury Lawyer Blog

Welcome to my new Fort Worth, Texas Injury Lawyer Blog! I’m excited to get this up and running—I have big plans for my Fort Worth Injury Lawyer Blog to not just copy the local news, but to hopefully enlighten my readers on the ins and outs of injury law. Many accidents occur in the Dallas-Fort Worth area each and every day. With over six million people living in the Metroplex, accidents are inevitable. We all hear about the daily car accidents which happen on our busy roads, but there are also many construction, oil field, industrial and work-related injuries which occur every day. Because they are so prevalent, these are just some of the practice areas I specialize in as an injury attorney. I hope to provide useful news and tips on how some of these accidents can be prevented. I will also comment on how these accidents are viewed in the eyes of the law, with reports on the opinions issued by our Texas Court System. Make sure to visit my website too--the Mark A. Anderson Web site also will be updated frequently and has lots of useful information. Stay tuned!
