Prominent attorney Brian Loncar was injured Thursday night when a fire engine collided with his Bentley in the Oak Lawn area, Dallas police said.
Mr. Loncar, 47, was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital. His condition was not immediately available.
The accident happened shortly before 7 p.m. as a fire truck responding to an alarm headed northbound on Lemmon Avenue, police said.

Dallas police Lt. Scott Bratcher said that the accident remains under investigation. But he said the accident will likely be ruled as Mr. Loncar's fault because he "failed to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle."

KEYWORDS: ambulancechaser; lawsuit
Mr. Loncar runs television commercials with accident victims telling us how much money he won for them. I'm thinking the over/under on this lawsuit will be 7 figures.

The poor Bentley! How badly was it injured?;)

According to the article, the lawyer was at fault. Apparently the lawyer advertises "When you have been injured because of the negligence or misconduct of another person, you need information about your rights and your options." Probably the injured firefighters and the car containing 3 other people will assert their rights against the negligence of another (lawyer).

Maybe he was distracted when he dropped his jar of Grey Poupon into his lap.

There's a fairly good chance that he was talking on his mobile phone and was not paying attention.

What do you think the insurance rate on a Bentley is.

Those darn fire engines, they are so hard to see.
If only they were painted a bright color, had some sort of flashing light and had a loud siren.

Dallas police Lt. Scott Bratcher said that the accident remains under investigation. But he said the accident will likely be ruled as Mr. Loncar's fault because he "failed to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle." I figure Loncar will argue that Bentley's didn't need to yield to anyone.
