Dallas Personal Injury Lawyer

Dallas sits at the center of one of the largest and most congested highway networks in the country. I-35E, I-30, I-635 (LBJ Freeway), US-75 (Central Expressway), and the Dallas North Tollway carry hundreds of thousands of vehicles through the city every day. According to TxDOT data, Dallas County recorded 331 traffic fatalities and more than 46,000 total crashes in 2024.

Our team handles car accidents, truck and 18-wheeler wrecks, motorcycle collisions, pedestrians struck by vehicles, cyclist injuries, Uber and Lyft accidents, bus accidents, and commercial vehicle collisions. Whether your accident happened at a busy intersection, on a Texas highway, in a parking lot, or involved a driver who fled the scene in a hit and run, we have the experience to pursue your claim.

Dallas's economy is powered by industries where the risk of serious injury is part of the daily reality: construction sites, warehousing, manufacturing, the oil and gas sector, and transportation. We represent people hurt in scaffolding collapses, equipment malfunctions, industrial explosions, chemical exposure, and falls from height. If your injury was caused by a third party's negligence, not just your employer, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers' comp. We also represent workers hurt in Texas oilfield accidents and other industrial injury matters.

Property owners and occupiers in Texas owe a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they neglect that duty, people get hurt. We represent clients injured in slip and fall accidents, swimming pool incidents, situations involving inadequate security at apartment complexes and businesses, dog attacks, and harm suffered by children at daycare facilities across Dallas.

When a defective or unreasonably dangerous product injures someone, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be held liable under Texas strict liability law. Our firm handles defective product cases involving faulty auto parts, malfunctioning airbags, dangerous medical devices, recalled consumer products, and industrial equipment failures.

Some injuries fundamentally change who a person is and what their life looks like going forward. TBI cases, spinal cord damage, limb loss, severe burn injuries, and other forms of life-altering harm require a different level of legal representation because the stakes are exponentially higher. We work with life care planners, vocational experts, and medical specialists to build claims that reflect the true long-term cost of these injuries.

Our Dallas injury lawyers also handle railroad worker and crossing injuries, crashes caused by dangerous road conditions, claims when the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage in UM/UIM cases, injuries to children, recreational boating accidents, ATV crashes, and golf cart injuries.

Texas law allows injury victims to pursue both economic and non-economic damages. In certain cases, exemplary (punitive) damages may also be available under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 41.

Economic damages cover your measurable financial losses: past and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket costs. Read our breakdown of how economic damages are calculated in Texas.

Non-economic damages compensate for the intangible harms that do not come with a receipt: physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, physical impairment, and loss of consortium. Read more about recovering non-economic damages.

Exemplary (punitive) damages may be awarded in cases involving gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct. Our firm has written more on when punitive damages apply in Texas.

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss this deadline and you lose the right to pursue your claim, regardless of how strong it is.

The real damage often starts long before any deadline. Physical evidence is destroyed. Surveillance footage gets overwritten. Trucking companies overwrite electronic logging data. The sooner you contact an attorney, the more evidence we can preserve. Read our deeper guide on the Texas personal injury statute of limitations.

Some situations have different deadlines. Claims against government entities often require notice within six months. Minors may have extended filing periods. Wrongful death claims have their own two-year window that runs from the date of death.

Every case is different. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the cost of your past and future medical treatment, your lost income and earning capacity, the impact on your daily life, and the available insurance coverage. We evaluate all of these factors during your free consultation. To learn more, read our guide on how injury cases are valued.

Straightforward cases with clear liability and moderate injuries may resolve in a few months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or disputed fault can take a year or longer. See our breakdown of how long a Texas injury case typically takes.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule under Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001. You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 51 percent responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20 percent at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would receive $80,000. Read more about how shared fault affects Texas injury claims.

Almost never. First offers are designed to close your claim quickly and cheaply, usually before you understand the full scope of your injuries or future medical needs. We negotiate aggressively to make sure any settlement reflects the actual value of your damages.

Yes. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.004, the surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased may file a wrongful death lawsuit. You generally have two years from the date of death to file. These cases can recover compensation for lost financial support, funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and mental anguish. Our blog covers which family members are eligible to bring a Texas wrongful death claim.

We work on a contingency fee, so you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. We also advance all litigation costs. Read our guide on choosing the right personal injury attorney.
