Hydrofluoric Acid Chemical Spill on I-635 in Dallas Texas
Both directions of Interstate 635 (LBJ) were closed on Friday afternoon, February 5th, 2010, following a chemical leak of hydrofluoric acid in a Ryder truck. The closure happened between the Dallas North Tollway and Montfort Drive, and lasted about 3 hours. Hasmat crews were called to the scene, and discovered that the leak was of hydrochloric acid, not hydrofluoric acid (much more dangerous), as was previously believed. The scene was cleaned, and traffic began moving again at about 6:00 p.m.
Fortunately nobody was injured in this chemical spill accident. When dangerous chemicals are transported, there are many regulations and protocols that are followed to ensure the safety of fellow drivers. If you or a family member is ever injured by hazardous material transported on our highways, the first thing you should do, is contact a Dallas personal injury lawyer. The injury was not your fault, why should the financial burden be on you? Discuss your case with an experienced Texas personal injury attorney and get the justice that you deserve!

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
