Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about personal injury cases services in Dallas
How do I know if I have a personal injury case in Dallas?
You likely have a case if someone owed you a duty of care, failed that duty, and you suffered real damages because of it. For example, a driver on I-35E owes other drivers a duty to be careful. A business owner in Deep Ellum owes visitors safe floors and stairs. If you were hurt because someone failed that duty, call us. You don’t need to have all the answers. Just tell us what happened.
What should I do right after an accident in Dallas?
Get medical attention the same day, even if you feel okay. Skipping treatment is the biggest mistake we see. Insurers will argue your injuries are unrelated if you wait. Call 911, get a police report, and photograph everything — your car, the other car, the intersection, and your injuries. If you slipped in a store in Oak Lawn, photograph the wet floor and any missing warning signs before the hazard gets cleaned up.
Do I have to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company?
No, you never have to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer. They call fast and sound friendly, but their goal is to get you to say something that limits what they pay you. If they contact you, stick to basic facts only — who, what, when, and where. Say nothing more. Once you hire an attorney, let your lawyer handle all communication with the insurance company going forward.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Dallas?
You have two years to file most personal injury claims in Texas, under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. That may sound like a long time, but waiting hurts your case. Witnesses forget what they saw. Evidence disappears. Medical records get harder to connect to the accident. The sooner you act after an accident in Dallas, the stronger your claim will be.
What happens during the personal injury claims process in Dallas?
First, you sit down and tell us everything — how the accident happened, where it happened, and how it has affected your life. Whether it’s a car wreck near I-35E or a slip and fall in Deep Ellum, we listen to all of it. Then we gather your medical records, police reports, photos, and witness statements. We build your case from there so you’re never caught off guard by the process.
What if my injuries seemed minor at first but got worse later?
This happens all the time in Dallas. You might get hit, feel a little sore, and decide to wait it out. Two weeks later the pain is severe, but now the insurer says the injury isn’t connected to the accident. Getting treated the same day creates a clear medical link between the accident and your injuries. That link is the most important thing you can build early in your case.
