A Dallas woman suffered minor injuries in a 3-car accident in Shreveport, Louisiana, involving a large truck, causing a closure of the westbound lanes of I-20 on Tuesday. The accident occurred when an 18-wheeler loaded with dog food rear-ended the woman's Mercedes, pushing it into another 18-wheeler that was stopped on the side of the road. The woman was transported to the hospital with a minor head injury.
Large trucks may have to stop on the side of the road because of mechanical problems or shifted loads, or even to get some rest in order to comply with hours of service obligations for commercial drivers. However, truck drivers are required under federal law to immediately activate the truck's hazard lights and place warning devices on the traffic side of the truck at distances of 10 feet and 100 feet from the disabled commercial vehicle. Failure to follow these safety precautions may make it difficult for other motorists to see the disabled vehicle.

Texas Woman Attacked by Her Own Dog
A 65-year-old Liberty County woman was attacked by her bull mastiff in her home just outside Dayton Thursday morning, according to news reports. The woman was found unconscious by sheriffs, who arranged for the woman to be flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital. She had bite wounds on her hands, head, and feet. Bull mastiffs are generally considered a very docile breed of dog in spite of their large size.
In general, avoiding the most dangerous breeds of dogs can help prevent dog bites. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics, the most dangerous breeds of dogs are pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Chow Chows, and wolf hybrids. However, even the most docile breeds can attack without warning or provocation, as is evident in this attack. Dog attacks can leave lasting physical and emotional scarring on attack victims. Therefore, it is important to speak with an experienced Houston injury lawyer to fully assess your damages after an animal attack.
