At Zinda Law Group, our Dallas personal injury lawyers were built on a simple belief: regular, hardworking people shouldn’t be pushed around by large corporations and insurance companies with unlimited resources.
Our founder, Jack Zinda, grew up in a small town in East Texas watching how the system was tilted against everyday people. That’s why he created a law firm large enough to take on empires, with the resources and experience to level the playing field when you walk into a courtroom.
We’re located at 100 Highland Park Village Suite 200, Dallas, TX 75205, and we’ve helped thousands of injury victims across Texas recover the damages they need to move forward. No matter if you were hurt in a car crash, slip and fall, dog attack, or another type of incident, our team will investigate thoroughly and fight for maximum compensation.
Your consultation is free. You pay nothing unless we win your case. Call us now at (800) 863-5312 or reach our local office directly at (214) 390-3177 for a free case evaluation.

- Lacerations
- Broken bones
- Neck, back, and spine injuries

Damages You May Be Entitled To
Your compensation depends on the specifics of your situation, but may include:
Medical Expenses
Ambulance transport, emergency room visits, surgical procedures, prescriptions, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and medical equipment. We pursue recovery for expenses you’ve already incurred and treatment you’ll need going forward.
Income Losses
Compensation for paychecks you’ve missed, bonuses you didn’t receive, overtime, vacation time, and diminished earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working at your previous level.
Damaged Property
Costs to repair or replace your vehicle and any personal belongings destroyed in the incident.
Physical and Emotional Harm
Recovery for ongoing pain, psychological trauma, mental anguish, emotional distress, physical impairment, physical disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and the ways your injury has diminished your daily life.
Punitive Damages
Courts may impose additional damages when the responsible party’s behavior was especially reckless or deliberate. These damages act as a punishment and reminder that dangerous actions have serious consequences.
Why You Should Act Quickly
Waiting too long can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation. Here’s why timing matters:
Texas Filing Deadline
According to Texas’ statute of limitations for civil suits (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003), you have two years from the date of your accident to submit a lawsuit. If you wait too long to hire a lawyer and take legal action, you could miss the two-year filing deadline and be forced to go without the compensation you deserve.
Our lawyers are aware of Texas’ filing requirements and can make sure your suit is compliant with all the laws that apply to it.
Evidence Disappears
Critical evidence has a tendency to disappear over time. Things get lost. Witnesses move away, forget important details, or pass away. A personal injury attorney can help ensure you collect all the critical pieces of evidence for your case as soon as possible.
Insurers Start Working Against You Immediately
Insurance companies are businesses with shareholders. They try as hard as they can to avoid paying out settlements because it impacts their financial bottom line. If you delay hiring a personal injury attorney, you give the insurance company more time to get their defensive strategy in place, which reduces the likelihood of the best possible settlement.
Moving promptly keeps you in control and protects what you’re rightfully owed.
Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Deal With the Insurance Company
If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by another person or entity, hire a personal injury lawyer from our team before you communicate with the insurance company.
Insurance companies are known for acting dishonestly and doing everything they can to reject honest claims. If you contact the insurance provider without a lawyer present, they could get you to say something that hurts your claim and stops you from getting the damages you’re owed.
An insurance adjuster may also try to offer you a settlement amount that is either below the policy limits or that does not adequately cover your injuries. Keep in mind that you are not required to accept a lowball settlement offer. An attorney can determine if a settlement offer is too low and negotiate to get it raised.
Modified Comparative Negligence in Texas
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence law when dealing with liability after an accident. Multiple parties can share the fault for an accident, and there is potential to recover compensation even if you were partially to blame.
However, you will only be eligible to pursue damages if your level of liability is 50% or lower. Furthermore, the amount you can recover will be reduced in proportion to your level of fault.
For example, if you endured $100,000 worth of damages but were found to be 20% at fault, you would only be able to claim $80,000 or 80% of the losses you incurred.

FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Zinda Law Group believes that injury victims should never have to worry about their ability to afford excellent legal representation. That is why we offer 100% free consultations and why you’ll pay nothing unless we achieve a favorable settlement, judgment, or verdict for your personal injury claim. That’s our No Fee Guarantee.
If we win your case, your personal injury lawyer will take a portion of the compensation you receive. They’ll discuss their percentage with you during your free consultation and answer any other questions you have about our payment policy.
When do I hire a personal injury attorney?
Many people choose to hire a personal injury attorney after they’ve been involved in an accident that results in personal injury or monetary loss. An experienced personal injury lawyer may assist you in going up against large insurance companies and their team of lawyers in order to help you seek the compensation you may be entitled to.
How long does it take to get a personal injury check?
Every personal injury case is different, and the time frame for a settlement may vary from a few months to many years. If and when a settlement is reached, a settlement check is disbursed to your attorney, who typically uses the money to pay any costs associated with the claim, such as attorney’s fees.
After all deductions have been made, the remaining balance of the settlement is sent to you in the form of a check from your attorney’s office.
Do I need to hire a lawyer to receive compensation?
The aftermath of an injury is nothing to take lightly. Accidents can often leave the victim facing costly medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage expenses, and more.
Securing compensation after an accident can be extremely challenging, so you’ll need a comprehensive plan that will take care of not only immediate costs but also future expenses, such as ongoing therapy.
No matter how you sustained an injury, if it was caused by someone’s negligence, you can be confident knowing that our personal injury lawyers will go above and beyond in our efforts to help you seek compensation and justice.
Who gets sued in a personal injury case?
The defendant in a personal injury case is the person or entity that caused the harm. In actuality, the defendant typically has insurance which forms the “source of recovery” (where the money comes from in a personal injury settlement). In most cases, your injury attorney will be negotiating with the insurance company of the defendant to work towards a settlement.
This is important to know because sometimes the injured party feels they don’t want to sue an individual. Maybe they believe the defendant made an honest mistake, or the victim feels bad bringing the lawsuit against them for other reasons. It’s vital to remember that this is why insurance exists. Typically the defendant will not be paying out of pocket to settle the case.
What should I bring to my free consultation?
You are not required to bring anything to speak with our team, but any documents you already have can be helpful. This may include accident or police reports, photos or videos from the scene, medical records or discharge papers, insurance correspondence, and contact information for witnesses. If you do not have these yet, that is completely fine. We can help you obtain what is needed after your consultation.
Can I still file a claim if I did not go to the hospital right away?
Yes. Many injuries do not fully appear until hours or days after an accident. Delayed medical treatment does not automatically prevent you from pursuing compensation. That said, seeking medical care as soon as symptoms appear helps protect your health and creates documentation that connects your injuries to the incident.
What if the insurance company already contacted me?
Insurance adjusters often reach out quickly after an accident to gather statements or propose early settlements. You are not required to speak with them before consulting an attorney. In fact, doing so can put your claim at risk. Once you hire our firm, we handle all communication with the insurance company on your behalf.
Can I switch lawyers if I already hired another attorney?
Yes. You generally have the right to change legal representation if you are unhappy with how your case is being handled. We can review your situation, explain how the transition works, and help you understand any potential fee considerations before you make a decision.
What happens if the at-fault party does not have insurance?
If the responsible party is uninsured or underinsured, you may still have options. Depending on the facts of your case, compensation may be available through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage or other applicable policies. Our attorneys evaluate every possible source of recovery.
Will my personal injury case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases resolve through settlement rather than trial. However, preparation for trial is a critical part of achieving strong outcomes. Insurance companies are more likely to make fair offers when they know your legal team is fully prepared to present the case in court if needed.
How are medical bills handled while my case is ongoing?
Medical bills often continue to arrive while a claim is pending. In some cases, providers may agree to delay collection until the case is resolved, or liens may be arranged. Our team can explain common options and help coordinate communication with medical providers while your case moves forward.
Can family members file a claim if the injured person cannot?
Yes. In certain situations, a legal claim may be pursued by a spouse, parent, or other representative. This may apply when the injured person is incapacitated or when a wrongful death has occurred. We can explain who is eligible to act on behalf of an injured loved one and what steps are involved.
