Driver charged in man's death

A 20-year-old man was charged with felony intoxication manslaughter in the
death of one of his passengers after a crash Saturday night in northwestern Travis County.  According to an arrest affidavit filed Monday, Jose Olvera-Tovar lost control of a Ford Explorer late Saturday on General Williamson Drive near RM 620. The Explorer struck several concrete blocks, was launched into the air and struck a utility pole, according to the affidavit.

Passenger Jose Guillen-Ortiz, 29, died in the wreck. Olvera-Tovar and another passenger were treated for minor injuries at University Medical Center Brackenridge and released before Olvera-Tovar was arrested.

Practical Tip

The world of personal injury claims is much too specialized for someone who does not regularly handle these cases. Too many times we have looked at cases that have been handled by general practitioners, immigration lawyers, criminal lawyers, and family law lawyers.  That’s just no good.  Get a specialist.  Here’s one clue – if a firm advertises they handle several different “specialties,” then they don’t really specialize in any one of them.
