Rated 5.0 by clients on GoogleFigures reflect firm-wide client recoveries across Texas and Oklahoma. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
The photos, witness names, and police report from the first hour become the evidence an adjuster later picks apart. The steps that protect your claim happen in the first 48 hours, not the final 48 days; witness memories, skid marks, and camera footage can be gone within a week.
Get police and medics on scene. The crash report they write becomes the backbone of your case.
Adrenaline buries pain. Get examined the same day so nothing surfaces later as a gap an insurer can attack.
Vehicles, damage, plates, skid marks, signals, and the road. Your phone remembers what you will not.
Get the other driver’s license, insurance, and plate, plus a name and number from anyone who saw it.
Do not apologize and do not say “I’m fine.” Those lines get repeated back as an admission of fault.
Skip the recorded statement to the other insurer. Let us field the calls before anything gets twisted.
Already home and second-guessing the scene? It is not too late. Talk to us free.
Most crashes come down to a driver who did one of these. Whichever it was, proving it is on us, not you.

Our Fort Worth car accident lawyers have represented people hurt on Tarrant County’s most dangerous corridors, from the congested I-35W interchanges near downtown to the I-820 and SH-183 split, the high-speed run of Chisholm Trail Parkway, and busy surface streets like Beach Street. We have built cases out of crashes at these exact kinds of spots.
The north-south spine through downtown and out to Alliance; constant merging, heavy trucks, and the rebuilt managed lanes.
The Dallas-to-Fort Worth artery past the Cultural District and on toward Arlington; fast traffic and tight ramps.
The ring road around the city, where lane shifts and short on-ramps set off side-impact and chain wrecks.
A major commuter and freight route to the south and northwest; long, fast stretches that turn rear-end crashes severe.
The toll road running southwest toward Cleburne; open speed and distance lull drivers into rear-end collisions.
The managed-lane corridor toward DFW Airport and the Mid-Cities, with weaving between free and toll lanes.
Crashes on these corridors produce some of the most severe injuries in North Texas, and they generate the personal injury claims we handle most often, and in high volume; knowing exactly how wrecks happen on I-35W, US-287, and Loop 820, and which defenses insurers run on each, is what turns one into a strong claim.
Hurt on one of these corridors? The evidence starts disappearing the day of the crash. Call (817) 330-2744.
Common Fort Worth crash corridors, not a complete list. What matters is the road and the facts of your specific case.
Every injury you carry out of a crash, from a fractured vertebra to a concussion, is the evidence that ties the wreck to your harm and gives your claim its value; that is why we push you to see a doctor the day of the crash and start organizing your medical records the moment you hire us. The more serious the injury, the more is at stake: a spinal cord injury drives far higher long-term costs and lost income than a minor strain, and it carries the largest non-economic damages too, the pain and lost quality of life an adjuster will work hardest to minimize. Even partial fault does not erase that value; under proportionate responsibility you can still recover most of it. Never rush to settle one.
Neck and back strains that sound minor but cost months of pain, therapy, and missed work.
Arms, ribs, hips, and legs that give out in a hard hit; some need surgery and hardware.
Herniated discs or cord damage can mean chronic pain, lost movement, or paralysis.
Glass, airbags, and hot surfaces leave lasting marks; permanent scarring raises what a claim is worth.
Bleeding or organ damage may not show at the scene; the reason we push you to get checked.
Anxiety, sleeplessness, and a new fear of driving are real injuries Texas law lets you recover for.
Car accident claims in Texas fall under personal injury law, the framework that gives you the right to seek compensation from anyone whose negligence caused your crash. That claim covers every crash type we handle and entitles you to compensable damages, from medical bills and lost wages to pain and suffering. It starts the moment you put the at-fault party on notice, and it ends in a settlement you agree to or a verdict when they will not be fair.
Most claims settle without anyone setting foot in a courtroom. From day one we handle the notice, the investigation, and the back and forth with the insurer, so you are never negotiating against professionals on your own. If your case does need a lawsuit, we walk every step of that too.
Whether you were rear-ended on I-30, hit at an intersection near Camp Bowie, or sideswiped in a lane change on I-35W, we handle every kind of car accident claim in Fort Worth and across Tarrant County. The type of crash also shapes what your claim is worth: fault is clearer in some wrecks than others, and some involve more than one liable party or policy. Sorting out which kind of case you have, and who can be held responsible, is the first thing we do.
Often whiplash and back injuries from being struck from behind; usually a clearer fault picture.
Among the most dangerous wrecks; high closing speeds can mean severe, life-altering injuries.
Side-impact crashes from a driver running a light or failing to yield right of way.
Violent crashes that frequently involve serious head, neck, and spinal injuries.
An impaired driver may owe more, and a bar that overserved can share the blame.
When the other driver flees, your own uninsured-motorist coverage often steps in to pay the claim.
The at-fault driver carried no coverage, or limits too low; in a multi-vehicle pile-up, policy limits split fast. A UM/UIM claim closes the gap.
A driver on their phone rarely admits it; cell records and dashcam footage prove what they will not.
Not sure how to classify yours? Tell us what happened and we will.
A few wrong assumptions quietly cost people their cases. Here is the difference between what feels true and what the law says.
“I walked away, so I was not really hurt.”
Concussions, whiplash, and internal injuries often hide for hours or days. The medical record from an early visit is frequently what proves the claim.
“The wreck was partly my fault, so I get nothing.”
Under Texas personal injury law, fault follows proportionate responsibility. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover, but your award drops by your share; if an adjuster pins 20% on you, your recovery falls by that same 20%. That percentage is not a fixed number the adjuster controls; it is an argument, and we dispute it with the crash report, witnesses, and accident reconstruction before it gets locked in. Keeping your share of the blame as low as possible is one of the most valuable things we do. If you think you were partly at fault, do not rule yourself out; a free consultation will tell you where you actually stand.
“The other driver had no insurance, so I am out of luck.”
Whether an uninsured driver rear-ends you or a hit-and-run leaves no one to sue, your injuries are just as real and just as compensable. You can file an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim directly with your own insurer; it can fund the same compensable damages, from hospital bills and lost income to pain and suffering, and it follows the same path as any other car accident claim: we investigate, document your damages, negotiate, and litigate if the offer falls short. Do not expect a smooth payout, though: your own insurer can run the same delay and lowball tactics, so we deal with the adjuster your own insurer assigns just as hard as any other negotiation.
“The adjuster sounds friendly, so I can just settle myself.”
The adjuster works for the insurance company. The first offer is almost never the full value of your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and a recorded statement is mostly a search for fault they can pin on you under proportionate responsibility to shrink the payout. Talk to an attorney before you give one.
“There is no rush; I can deal with it later.”
Texas generally gives you two years to file, and far less against a government vehicle. Evidence and witness memory disappear long before that deadline.
Heard one of these and worried it sank your case? Get a free, honest read.
Texas personal injury law defines two tracks of compensation: economic damages you can add up, and non-economic damages no receipt can capture. An adjuster attacks both in sequence; first the hard numbers, then the losses without receipts. Their sharpest lever is Texas proportionate responsibility: every point of fault an adjuster pins on you cuts your economic damages by exactly that percentage. A fair settlement accounts for both tracks; a quick offer rarely does.
These are the losses with a receipt; the ER bill, physical therapy, missed paychecks, and the future care your doctor expects. A receipt does not make them safe: adjusters routinely contest even well-documented costs, so every dollar has to be documented and fought for.
These have no invoice but are just as real; the chronic pain, the anxiety behind the wheel, the hobbies you gave up. Adjusters are trained to wave these off as exaggerated; we counter with medical narratives and witness testimony that put a real dollar value on your pain.
A serious crash turns your life upside down, and the insurance company is counting on you being too overwhelmed to push back. I walk my clients through every step, in plain language and in Spanish when a family needs it, so they understand what their case is really worth and never settle for less out of confusion or fear.
If the driver who hit you carried no insurance or the bare minimum, you are not out of options. A real share of Texas drivers are uninsured or underinsured, so the coverage on your own policy often becomes the main source of your recovery. Do not assume your own insurer will simply pay, though; even then, an adjuster is hunting for reasons to minimize your payout. I go after that coverage just as hard as any claim against an at-fault driver.
What any single case is worth depends on its specific facts and the insurance coverage available. This is general information, not a promise or prediction.
A sample of notable verdicts and settlements from the firm's published results: more than $36 million recovered, a $15 million single largest result, and 12 seven-figure recoveries. Each figure reflects the same damages described above; medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering. The carrier opens low on every file; results like these are built from preparation, not luck. Every case is different, and these do not predict what yours is worth.

The insurance company has adjusters, lawyers, and a playbook built to pay you less. Going it alone means negotiating against professionals on the worst day of your year. Here is what shifts the moment we are in your corner.
We work on contingency and advance the costs of building your case. If we do not win, you owe no fee. The risk sits with us, not you.
We get each case ready as if a Tarrant County jury will decide it. Insurers track which firms actually try cases, and they pay more when they know we will.
The calls, the forms, the recorded-statement traps; we take all of it so you can heal instead of arguing with an adjuster.

Most cases settle. When an offer will not cover your losses, filing suit is how we pursue the full economic damages you are owed; we file suit in Tarrant County district court, where crashes on I-30, I-35W, and Loop 820 are litigated every day. Here is the path; we drive every step.
We file your petition in the proper Tarrant County court and serve the at-fault party.
Their side responds and their insurer assigns defense counsel to the case.
Both sides exchange records, photos, and evidence; we build the proof.
Witnesses and experts answer questions under oath as the story locks in.
A neutral session where strong cases often settle on fair terms.
If they still will not be fair, we put your case to a jury.
These are awarded, third-party credentials other lawyers and clients can verify, not vanity badges; together they are why insurer delay and lowball tactics get less traction against us when we pursue the full economic and non-economic damages you are owed. The client reviews further down show how that plays out in real cases.

On a free consultation you talk to a recognized attorney who has handled a high volume of Tarrant County cases like yours, not a call-center agent. Book your free consultation.
Two things stop people from calling: cost and commitment. The free consultation removes one and the contingency fee removes the other. If any of these fit, it is worth a conversation.
There is no cost at any stage until we win; the consultation is free, and the fee is a percentage of what we recover for you, so the more your claim recovers in damages, the better for both of us. Book your free consultation.
Hurt some other way? We likely cover it. A few of our most common case types.
From a wreck on I-35W to a side-street collision near the Stockyards, we represent injured people across Fort Worth and the surrounding cities. No matter where in Tarrant County it happened, we can help.
What Fort Worth drivers ask us most.
The fastest answers come from a quick, free call with an attorney who can hear your specific situation.
Call (817) 330-2744If you were hurt, if fault is disputed, or if an insurer is already pushing a quick check, yes. Insurers consistently offer the least to people without a lawyer. For a true scratch with no injuries you may not need one, and we will tell you that on a free call rather than sign you up.
As soon as you are safe and have seen a doctor. Evidence like dashcam video, a vehicle black box, and witness memory fades within days, and the at-fault insurer is often calling before you leave the hospital. Calling early lets us preserve proof before it disappears.
In most Texas cases you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. A claim involving a government vehicle, such as a Trinity Metro bus, can carry a much shorter notice deadline, and an injured child can shift the timeline. Call us and we will pin down the exact deadline for your case.
Usually yes. Texas follows proportionate responsibility, so you can recover as long as you are 50% or less at fault, with your award reduced by your share. Insurers try to shift extra blame onto you to cut what they owe, which is exactly why having a lawyer matters.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency, so our fee is an agreed percentage of what we recover, set in writing before we begin, and owed only if we win. We also advance the costs of building your case, and the consultation is free.
Most cases settle. We still prepare every one as if a Tarrant County jury will hear it, and that readiness is a big reason insurers raise their offers; they know we are willing to file and try the case if they will not be fair.
You can still recover. Most Texas auto policies include uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, and a claim under it can pay the same damages you would have pursued from the at-fault driver; medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Your own insurer handles the claim and can run the same delay tactics, so treat it like a contested case. Call us for a free consultation and we will read your policy and open the claim for you.
