A 15-month-old girl was hospitalized with severe burns after finding a bottle of sulfuric acid inside a Tarrant County home. According to WFAA, the child was taken by air ambulance to Parkland Hospital in Dallas after suffering burns to her abdomen and legs. The Everman Fire Department said the incident happened after the toddler found the chemical in a cabinet under the kitchen sink. Officials said a Tarrant County hazardous materials team responded after first responders learned the child had been burned by sulfuric acid. An Everman firefighter who helped remove the child from the home was also treated for inhalation of chemical fumes and later released. The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident and will determine whether any criminal charges are warranted. Chemical burn injuries involving young children require a thorough investigation. A Texas child injury lawyer can review whether sulfuric acid or another dangerous chemical was improperly stored, left unsecured, mislabeled, accessible to children, or handled in a way that created an unreasonable risk of harm. Evidence can disappear quickly after a chemical exposure incident. Chemical bottles, labels, safety data sheets, purchase records, storage conditions, photographs, medical records, emergency response reports, witness statements, 911 calls, hazmat testing, and property records may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your child was injured in a Tarrant County chemical burn accident, sulfuric acid exposure, hazmat incident, or Texas premises liability case, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, burn treatment, pain and suffering, scarring, disfigurement, future care needs, and other damages.

Tragic Incident at Hurst Apartment Complex

Two people were found dead after a shooting at a North Texas apartment complex, according to WFAA. Police responded to reports of gunfire and discovered two victims suffering from fatal injuries. Investigators remained at the scene gathering evidence and working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Authorities had not immediately released additional details regarding a suspect or what may have led to the incident. Fatal shootings often leave families facing overwhelming emotional and financial burdens. While criminal investigations focus on identifying suspects and pursuing criminal charges, families may also have questions about potential civil claims. Depending on the circumstances, investigators may examine apartment complex security measures, prior criminal activity, surveillance footage, witness statements, emergency response records, and whether negligent security or other factors contributed to the tragedy. If you lost a loved one due to a violent crime, apartment complex shooting, or other preventable incident in Texas, your family may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Compensation may be available for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, mental anguish, lost financial support, and other damages. Call (214) 699-6524 for a free consultation.
