Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our Carrollton personal injury attorneys serve a wide range of injury victims in the city and the surrounding North Texas communities. We have extensive experience in the following types of personal injury cases:

Car Accidents

Car crashes are a leading cause of injury in Carrollton. Whether you were hit at a red light, struck by a speeding driver, or sideswiped on I-35E, our legal team will investigate the circumstances and help you recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Truck Accidents

Crashes involving commercial vehicles and 18-wheelers are especially dangerous due to the sheer size and weight of these trucks. These cases are governed by FMCSA regulations and involve multiple liable parties, including drivers, trucking companies, maintenance providers, and cargo loaders. We know how to handle complex truck litigation from start to finish.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are uniquely vulnerable in traffic collisions. When driver inattention, road hazards, or failure to yield cause a serious crash, riders often suffer devastating injuries. We advocate fiercely for motorcycle riders and their families in the aftermath of serious collisions.

Pedestrian Accidents

When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, the injuries are often catastrophic. We help injured pedestrians hold reckless drivers accountable, whether the accident occurred in a crosswalk, near a school, or in a parking lot.

Bicycle Accidents

Carrollton has many cyclists who ride for transportation or recreation. Unfortunately, inattentive drivers and poorly maintained roads put them at risk. Our lawyers understand the dynamics of bicycle crashes and work to secure fair outcomes for injured cyclists.

Rideshare Accidents

If you were injured while riding in or struck by a rideshare vehicle (Uber, Lyft), you may be entitled to compensation from one or more insurance policies. We understand how to navigate the complex insurance structures behind rideshare companies and ensure maximum compensation.

Additional Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Burn Injury

Burn injuries require extensive medical care and often result in scarring, disfigurement, or disability. Whether your injury occurred in a workplace explosion, motor vehicle accident, or due to a defective product, we pursue justice on your behalf.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

TBIs can range from concussions to severe cognitive impairments and are often difficult to detect initially. Our team works closely with neurologists and medical experts to accurately document these life-altering injuries and demand appropriate compensation.

Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord damage may result in chronic pain, limited mobility, or even full or partial paralysis. These cases require expert medical analysis and long-term financial planning—something we have years of experience managing.

Catastrophic Injury

When an accident leads to permanent disability, amputation, or loss of major bodily function, the stakes are incredibly high. We work tirelessly to recover compensation that covers lifetime medical costs, loss of income, and non-economic damages such as loss of enjoyment of life.

Child Injury

Children are especially vulnerable to injury. When negligence harms a child, the legal system rightly holds wrongdoers to high standards. Whether your child was hurt in a car crash, playground accident, or daycare incident, we’ll ensure your family receives justice.

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are dangerous by nature, but when safety protocols are ignored or defective equipment is used, workers and bystanders alike are at risk. We help clients pursue compensation from property owners, contractors, subcontractors, and other liable entities.

Workplace Accidents

In Texas, many workers are not covered by traditional workers’ compensation insurance. When workplace injuries occur due to employer negligence or defective equipment, injured employees may need to pursue a third-party personal injury claim. We help workers effectively pursue these legal paths for maximum financial recovery.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. If you were injured due to dangerous conditions on someone else’s property, such as uneven flooring, poor lighting, or broken handrails, we can help you pursue a premises liability claim.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Falls are one of the most common causes of injury, especially among older adults. We hold negligent business owners and landlords accountable for failing to correct dangerous conditions that lead to these preventable injuries.

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one due to another person’s negligence, no legal action can undo that pain. However, a wrongful death claim can provide financial relief and create a sense of justice. We represent families with empathy and strength during the most difficult times.

Did Someone Else’s Negligence Cause Your Injuries?

You May Be Entitled to Damages

  • Medical bills and long-term care
  • Lost income and reduced earning ability
  • Pain, suffering, and mental distress
  • Property damage
  • Permanent disability or wrongful death

Texas Is a Fault State for Personal Injury

In Texas, the person who caused your injury is responsible for the harm they’ve caused. That means you have the right to seek compensation from the at-fault party, not your own insurance. But to do that, you’ll need to prove what happened and why it wasn’t your fault. That’s not easy when you’re hurt and overwhelmed. Our Carrollton personal injury lawyers are here to take that burden off your shoulders, protect your rights, and help you move forward with confidence.

How Do We Prove Fault in a Personal Injury Case?

After an accident, it’s not enough to know you were hurt—you have to prove that someone else caused it. In Texas, the law requires injured victims to establish four key elements:

  • Duty of Care – The other party had a responsibility to act safely.
  • Breach of Duty – They failed to meet that responsibility.
  • Causation – Their actions directly led to your injury.
  • Damages – You experienced real harm—physical, financial, or emotional.

Our team gathers every piece of evidence—police reports, medical records, expert analysis, video footage, and witness statements—to prove your case clearly and powerfully. We also handle all communication with insurers and defense lawyers, so you don’t have to relive the accident or fight for your rights alone. While you focus on healing, we’ll take care of everything else.
