SOUTHERN SUMMERS AND FATHERLY LOVE TIP YOUR HAT TO DADS THIS JUNE
Summertime in Texas, where the sun hangs high and the days long, has a certain laid-back charm to those sweltering days. Everyone craves a cold treat when the air shimmers with heat. From the stillness of conversations on the front porch to the sizzle of barbecue grills firing up, summertime here is more than just a season — it’s a way of life. Texans know how to take it easy and soak in the season’s warmth; kick off your boots, grab a seat on the porch swing, and let the Texas summer breeze carry away your worries.
As the temperatures have been heating up, summer is quickly approaching. This year, the first official day of summer is June 20. For those of us in Texas, our summer season lasts a little longer. At least, that’s how I feel since our temperatures get pretty warm even before the official start of summer.
Summer brings fun in the sun, often spent around the water. Many of you may enjoy visiting beaches and lakes or hanging out by the pool during the summer. We recently took Asher to the beach for the first time. We flew into Fort Myers, Florida, and went to Marco Island for a long weekend. Asher was not a fan of the beach or the ocean. He didn’t like the sand. The ocean water was too cold for him, so he disliked it. Alison and I love the beach, though. We are hopeful Asher will grow to love it as well. He will stick to the swimming pool for now because he loves that. Father’s Day is June 16 this year. Asher isn’t even two years old yet, but I hope he has fond memories of the fun trips we’ve taken when he’s older. I certainly have some great memories of trips with my dad. I have the greatest dad, and I hope Asher also does one day. I look at relationships differently as I’ve gotten older. I realize that our time on earth is not that long. I truly believe that LOVE = TIME. I must remember to prioritize time with my family, as that truly matters. Be safe out there this summer. Watch your kids closely when you are all playing at the beaches, lakes, or pools. If you still have a dad, tell him you love him this Father’s Day. If you are a dad, love on your kids, whatever season of life you all are in. –Matt Aulsbrook

Dogs, often described as man’s best friend, possess an innate charm that captivates hearts and brings joy to countless households worldwide. Their wagging tails, soulful eyes, and unwavering loyalty evoke warmth and comfort. But beneath their endearing exterior lies a reality that cannot be ignored. Regardless of breed or temperament, they have the potential to bite and cause harm to humans. Hurt people may experience physical pain and even emotional trauma due to a dog bite, as well as financial hardships that stem from treating and recovering from their injuries. Fortunately, injured individuals may be able to recover compensation from the animal’s owner. If you or a loved one were injured by someone else’s domesticated pet, a Fort Worth dog bite lawyer could provide guidance and support during your recovery and help you understand your rights and legal options to help you recover compensation for your injuries. Proving Dog Owner’s Negligence in Court The state of Texas has a one-bite rule, meaning the claimant in a canine bite case has to show that the pet’s owner knew their animal had behaved aggressively or had bitten someone else in the past or that the dog’s owner was negligent in preventing the bite from occurring. Trying a dog bite case without the support of an experienced attorney could be complicated. The pet owner might try to settle without the insurance company or attorneys. Still, this approach might leave the plaintiff without financial support for all their injuries and damages. Deadlines to File a Canine Attack Claim in Fort Worth Injured claimants are required to file their claim within the statute of limitations. To comply with the law, individuals must file their lawsuit within two years of the accident. If a claim is not filed within the statute of limitations, the injured claimant may be barred from recovering compensation from the responsible party. Injured individuals should seek help from a diligent Fort Worth dog attack attorney to ensure their claim is filed within the required deadline. Call a Fort Worth Dog Bite Attorney Today An injured person should not rely on an insurance company’s offer alone to recover compensation for a canine bite. Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to more compensation. Given your situation, a Fort Worth dog bite lawyer could help handle your claim and push on your behalf for appropriate compensation. Call us today to get started on your case.

CYCLE SAFELY THE DANGERS OF RIDING
Bicycling is a popular transportation method to navigate cities and enjoy the outdoors. However, with the increasing number of cyclists sharing the roads with motor vehicles, the risk of bicycle accidents has become a significant concern. Often, crashes occur when a car turns into a cyclist without having the right of way, when the door of a car is thrown open and hits a cyclist, or when a vehicle pulls out from a side street and strikes the bicycle. Since cyclists do not have any protection from the environment or the benefit of a seat belt, the injuries sustained in such wrecks are often life-threatening. Who Is Responsible for a Bike Accident in Fort Worth? Motorists in the state must carry a minimum amount of insurance to provide for the possibility of wrecks. Such a policy pays out when an accident occurs to cover the expenses of the hurt person. Since Texas is a fault state, an injured person can recover payments for their damages directly from the liable driver’s insurance if they can show that the driver was responsible. To show that another driver was negligent, a local bike crash lawyer could help an injured party investigate the accident scene and collect evidence, calculate the total amount of expected damages, connect their injuries to the accident itself, and be prepared to approach the responsible
party’s insurance carrier with a demand for compensation. If the insurance company denies the claim, the claimant could take that company to court.
Recovering Damages After a Bike Crash Claims can be settled directly with the insurance company, but insurance carriers rarely offer a fair settlement upfront. They are more likely to lowball the payment in the hopes that the injured cyclist will waive the right to file litigation. Under Texas’s modified comparative fault law, a plaintiff who bears 50 percent or less of the total fault for an accident can still receive compensation from an insurance company or a litigated settlement or award. However, their recoverable damages would be reduced proportionately based on their percentage of fault. A person disabled or critically hurt in a bike accident should immediately turn to a talented Fort Worth bicycle accident lawyer to learn more about eligibility to file an injury claim. If someone else’s careless behavior caused you to suffer financial and personal losses, a dedicated personal injury attorney could help you pursue fair compensation for your damages.

Marie Curie’s Dedication to Science A LEGACY OF RESILIENCE AND BRILLIANCE
Marie Curie, born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, left an undeniable mark on the
In 1903, she won her first Nobel Prize alongside her husband and Henri Becquerel for their research on radioactivity. The recognition became historic, not just for Curie but for all women. This win challenged the prevailing belief that women couldn’t be real scientists. It was the first of many accomplishments to improve gender equality for the masses. Madame Curie, unfortunately, lost her collaborator and husband in a road accident in 1906. She took her late husband’s position as chair of the physics department at the Sorbonne and continued as a single mother of two daughters. Just five years later, in 1911, Curie secured her second Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry. She discovered radium and polonium, two elements that significantly advanced our understanding of radioactivity, further cementing that women could succeed in science. Her extensive exposure to radiation throughout her career took a heavy toll on Curie’s health. She passed away from leukemia in 1934 after helping allied efforts in the First World War. Her pioneering spirit, dedication to research, unyielding perseverance, and intellect continue to inspire countless scientists today, especially women in STEM. Madame Curie will always be remembered as a symbol of scientific excellence and the relentless pursuit of knowledge for the greater good.
scientific world. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person
to receive Nobel Prizes in two scientific fields. Her groundbreaking work in physics and chemistry reshaped our understanding of the universe at large and paved the way for future generations of women in science.
Born Marya Sklodowska, she was the daughter of teachers and was curious from a young age. She worked as a governess for her sister as she pursued her doctoral career in Paris. She was determined to channel her curiosity into higher education, though women were not encouraged to attend school, especially in science. But in 1891, she followed her sister and moved to Paris to attend school in Sorbonne, where she met and married Pierre Curie, a fellow scientist who became a lifelong collaborator.
