When people venture out into traffic, whether it’s when they’re behind the wheel or even traveling on foot, they tend to understand that there are risks involved with these actions and anticipate the possibility that someone will make a mistake that could put them in danger. However, few if any people who are inside of a store would ever anticipate being hit by a vehicle that crashes through the storefront. Tragically, that’s what occurred on Friday in a North Dallas car accident that took the life of a man.
According to the authorities, this fatal Dallas car accident occurred on Friday afternoon at the Total Hearing Care of Dallas, which is located on the 7600 block of Campbell Road near Colt Road. An 88-year-old man was standing inside of the store when a woman driving a vehicle in the front of the building accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. She crashed through the store and the impact took the life of the man.
First and foremost, we’d like to offer our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the man who was killed in this Dallas car accident. In addition, this tragic loss will now become part of the overall statistics regarding Texas car accidents. Every year, more than 200,000 people are injured and more than 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.
If the available facts regarding this fatal Dallas car accident are accurate, then it’s possible that the family of the man who was killed could file a Texas wrongful death lawsuit against the driver involved in the crash. If such a lawsuit is filed and it’s successful, it’s possible that the family could recover damages that compensate them for their losses.
