Helping Injury Victims Pursue the Payment They Need to Keep Moving Forward

Comprehensive Representation for Serious Injuries in Dallas & Fort Worth

Car Accidents

A car accident has the potential to cause serious injuries, depending on the speed of the collision and the angle at which it occurred. Determining fault can be difficult in these cases, but a skilled attorney can help uncover key evidence like witness statements, the police report, and security footage that demonstrates who caused the wreck. Our firm can collect this evidence and talk to the insurance company on your behalf.

Truck Accidents

Truck collisions tend to carry a higher risk of serious injury due to the forces involved in a collision. Unlike most car accidents, these cases may involve complex liability, with fault shared between the truck driver, the company, cargo loaders, or other third parties. We will work hard to identify all of the parties responsible and pursue full compensation for your damages, starting by preserving the evidence at the scene of the wreck.

Defective Products

When a product is shipped with unsafe components, inadequate warnings, or other serious defects, the risk of injury to consumers increases dramatically. Though the manufacturer may deny responsibility for any damages, our firm can look into these claims in detail to identify exactly where the error occurred. We handle a variety of defective product claims, ranging from faulty vehicle parts to hazardous children's toys.

Catastrophic Injuries

When an injury is so severe that it results in long-lasting or permanent damage, it is generally considered to be catastrophic. Our firm can represent victims of spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, amputation, serious fractures, and other life-altering conditions resulting from the negligence of another party. When assessing these claims, we look at the long-term effects, not just the short-term burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the other driver does not have insurance after a car accident in Texas?

Answer: Texas requires drivers to carry liability insurance, but not everyone follows that rule. If the driver who hit you is uninsured, you may still have options. Your own policy may include uninsured motorist coverage, which can help pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and other losses. If the at-fault driver has some assets, a lawsuit may also be worth pursuing. An attorney can review your policy, identify available coverage, and help you understand what recovery is realistic given the circumstances.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for the car accident?

Answer: Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51 percent responsible for the accident. However, your total recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies sometimes try to exaggerate a victim's share of fault to limit what they pay out, which is one reason having legal representation matters.

Read More

Why are truck accident claims more complicated than regular car accident claims?

Answer: Several factors make these cases more complex. Commercial trucks are often owned by one company, leased by another, loaded by a third party, and driven by someone who may be classified as an independent contractor. Each of those relationships can affect who is legally responsible for the crash.

Read More

What if the truck driver was an independent contractor rather than an employee of the company?

Answer: Contractor status does not automatically shut down a truck accident claim. Courts look at how much control the company exercised over the driver, the route, the equipment, and the delivery schedule. If the company dictated how and when deliveries were made, it may still be held responsible even if the driver was technically classified as an independent contractor.

Do I need to prove that the manufacturer was negligent to bring a defective product claim in Texas?

Answer: Texas recognizes strict liability for certain product defect claims, which means you may be able to hold a manufacturer responsible without proving it acted carelessly. What matters is whether the product was defective when it left the manufacturer's control and whether that defect caused your injury.

Who can be held responsible when a defective product causes an injury?

Answer: Liability can extend beyond just the company that made the product. Depending on the facts, the manufacturer, a component parts supplier, a distributor, or a retailer could all share responsibility for putting a dangerous product into consumers' hands.

What makes an injury "catastrophic" in the context of a personal injury claim?

Answer: The term "catastrophic injury" generally refers to injuries that permanently alter a person's ability to live and function the way they did before. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, amputations, and injuries that result in paralysis or permanent organ damage are common examples. These cases tend to involve higher medical costs, longer recovery timelines, and ongoing care needs that can last for decades.

How do you calculate future damages in a catastrophic injury case?

Answer: Estimating damages in a catastrophic injury claim frequently requires input from medical professionals who can project what ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, assistive equipment, and personal care will cost over time.

Who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim in Texas?

Answer: Under Texas law, a wrongful death claim can be brought by the surviving spouse, children, or parents of the person who was killed. Siblings and other relatives are not typically eligible to file under the wrongful death statute.

What kinds of damages can a family recover in a wrongful death case?

Answer: Surviving family members can pursue compensation for the financial support the deceased person would have provided over their lifetime, as well as the loss of services, care, guidance, and companionship they would have contributed to the family. Mental anguish suffered by surviving family members is also recognized under Texas law.
