Injured in an Accident? We Fight for the Money You’re Owed
January 2026 brought tragedy when 20-year-old Nathaniel Molina died after losing control of his Hyundai Accent while speeding southbound on Dallas Parkway in the 1500 block. He hit a curb, veered into a Subaru dealership parking lot, and crashed into a concrete power pole and an unoccupied vehicle. The car burst into flames. Witnesses pulled him from the burning vehicle. Plano Fire-Rescue rushed him to a local hospital where he died. Speed played a major role in the crash.
When accidents like this happen, families face funeral costs, medical bills, lost income, and insurance companies looking for every possible reason not to pay what they owe.

Why People Choose Our Firm
You Pay Only When We Win
Contingency fees work like this: we recover money for you, we take a percentage. No recovery equals no fee. Zero hourly charges. Nothing upfront. Texas regulates contingency percentages. We’ll show you exact numbers before you sign a single thing.
Lawyers With Actual Time for Your Case
Most firms bury their attorneys under 100+ cases each. We don’t work that way. We intentionally limit how many cases we accept so your lawyer has bandwidth to thoroughly read files, respond to calls quickly, and genuinely care about outcomes.
Communication You Can Actually Understand
Our A+ BBB rating reflects what clients tell the Bureau: we keep people informed. Legal processes confuse everybody. Most attorneys love complicated language. We don’t. We explain what’s happening using normal words and update you the moment anything changes.
An Entire Team Supporting You
Over 100 professionals back injury cases: investigators locking down evidence fast, medical experts calculating realistic long-term care costs, trial litigators with courtroom victories, administrative staff ensuring nothing slips through cracks.
Deep Texas Experience
We’ve resolved injury claims throughout Texas involving vehicle crashes, trucking collisions, slip and falls, workplace injuries, dog bites, and wrongful deaths. We know Texas law. We know how Texas insurers operate. That knowledge produces results.
CASE RESULTS
Our Process for Cases
Step 1: Free Consultation
We listen to what happened, review available evidence, and give honest assessments. No charge. No pressure.
Step 2: Investigation
We collect police reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, and other documentation supporting claims. Investigators work quickly securing evidence before it becomes unavailable.
Step 3: Medical Documentation
We coordinate with healthcare providers ensuring injuries and ongoing implications get thoroughly documented. When necessary, we bring in independent medical experts assessing conditions and projecting long-term needs.
Step 4: Damages Calculation
We account for every loss category, including costs that won’t materialize until years from now. Complete damage understanding is the foundation of strong demands.
Step 5: Negotiation
We build detailed demand packages and present them to insurance companies. Because we prepare every case for trial, insurers understand low offers will be rejected. That preparation produces better results.
Step 6: Trial if Needed
If insurance companies won’t offer what cases are genuinely worth, we file lawsuits and present cases to Texas juries. Our trial attorneys have courtroom experience and use it.

Injury severity directly shapes compensation you can pursue. We work with medical professionals and care specialists to understand what you’ll need now and years ahead.
Money You May Be Able to Recover
Texas law allows you to pursue several types of compensation, depending on the details of your case and how the accident has affected your life.
All Medical Expenses
You can recover the full cost of medical care related to your injuries. This includes ambulance transportation, emergency room treatment, surgery, hospital stays, doctor visits, physical therapy, medications, medical equipment, and home health services. If you will need ongoing or future treatment, those projected costs can also be included. We work with medical professionals who carefully calculate what your long-term care is likely to cost so you are not left paying out of pocket later.
Lost Income and Career Impact
If your injuries forced you to miss work, you can seek compensation for the paychecks you lost during your recovery. If your condition prevents you from returning to your previous job or limits your ability to earn the same income in the future, you may also recover damages for reduced earning capacity. This can include lost benefits, retirement contributions, bonuses, and the long-term financial impact of earning less over time.
Property Damage
If your vehicle or personal belongings were damaged or destroyed in the accident, you can pursue compensation to repair or replace them. This ensures you are not responsible for covering the cost of property damage caused by someone else’s negligence.
Physical Pain and Emotional Distress
You may also be compensated for the physical pain you have endured and the emotional toll the accident has taken on you. This can include ongoing discomfort, trauma, depression, anxiety, sleep disruption, and stress. Texas law recognizes that these harms are real and deserve compensation.
Loss of Quality of Life
If your injuries prevent you from enjoying activities, hobbies, or daily routines that once brought you fulfillment, you may be entitled to damages for that loss. Serious injuries can change how you live, move, and interact with the world, and the law allows you to seek compensation for those changes.
Loss of Consortium
When injuries are severe, your spouse may have a separate claim for the loss of companionship, emotional support, and intimacy that the relationship once provided. These damages recognize the broader impact a serious injury can have on a marriage.
Wrongful Death Damages
If a loved one died because of the accident, surviving family members may pursue compensation for funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, and the profound personal loss they have suffered. No amount of money can replace a life, but the law provides a path for families to seek accountability and financial stability during an unimaginably difficult time.
Punitive Damages
In cases where the at-fault party acted with extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct, Texas courts may award punitive damages. These are meant to punish especially dangerous behavior and discourage similar conduct in the future.
What to Do After Accidents
Actions immediately after accidents directly impact compensation amounts.
Get Medical Care Right Away
See doctors immediately regardless of how you feel. Adrenaline masks pain. Brain injuries and internal bleeding often don’t hurt until hours or days later. Without medical records linking injuries to accidents, insurance companies argue injuries aren’t serious or originated elsewhere.
Get an Official Report
Call 911. Law enforcement must respond, document everything, and file official reports. Those reports become foundational evidence. If accidents occurred on business property, insist managers create incident reports and get copies.
Document Everything You Can
If physically able: photograph all vehicles or property, scenes from multiple angles, visible injuries, road or environmental conditions, anything relevant. Collect witness names and contact information. Write down everything while memory’s fresh. Save damaged clothes and belongings.
Follow Treatment Plans Consistently
Once medical care starts, stay consistent. Missed appointments and treatment gaps give insurance companies ammunition arguing injuries resolved faster than claimed or weren’t serious.
Don’t Give Insurance Companies Statements
Other parties’ insurers will likely reach out fast. Adjusters are trained gathering information limiting what insurers pay. They may sound sympathetic. Their job is protecting company profits. Decline recorded statements and direct them to your attorney. Then call us: (469) 809-5996.
Contact Attorneys Early
The sooner we’re involved, the more we can protect cases. Insurance companies build defenses immediately. Evidence at scenes disappears. Witnesses become harder to locate. Early representation means someone actively works protecting rights from the start.
Important Texas Legal Factors
Texas’s Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Texas law gives you two years from accident dates to file personal injury lawsuits. Wrongful death claims also carry two-year windows. Miss deadlines and you permanently lose ability to pursue compensation, regardless of case strength.
Modified Comparative Negligence in Texas
Texas follows modified comparative negligence. Shared fault reduces compensation, and if you’re found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything.
If juries find damages total $200,000 but assign you 30% fault, you receive $140,000. If they assign 51% or more, you get nothing.
Insurance companies understand this rule and use it strategically, pushing to assign victims as much fault as possible. We investigate thoroughly and present evidence accurately reflecting what happened.
Insurance Offers Usually Fall Short
Many people assume filing directly with insurance companies will produce fair offers. That rarely happens. Adjusters get evaluated on how cheaply they close claims. They may question injuries, delay processing, or make early offers before victims understand what recovery will actually cost.
Our attorneys calculate true claim values and handle all negotiations. We know what fair settlements look like and won’t recommend accepting less.
How We Prove Liability
Successful Texas injury claims require proving specific elements:
- Duty of Care: Everyone owes others reasonable care. Drivers must operate vehicles safely and follow traffic laws. Business owners must maintain safe premises. Manufacturers must make safe products.
- Breach of Duty: Someone violated that duty. Speeding drivers like in the January Dallas Parkway crash breached their duties. Drivers who rear-end others may have breached duties by following too closely or not paying attention.
- Causation: The breach directly caused your injuries. We use accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and evidence establishing clear connections.
- Damages: You suffered measurable losses. Medical bills, lost income, pain, property damage all qualify. We document every category and calculate full impact.

FAQs
How long does a personal injury case usually take in Texas?
The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries, how long medical treatment lasts, and how willing the insurance company is to negotiate fairly. Some cases resolve in a few months. Others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability, can take a year or longer. We move cases forward as efficiently as possible while making sure you do not settle before you fully understand the long-term impact of your injuries.
Will I have to go to court for my personal injury case?
Most personal injury cases settle without going to trial. However, we prepare every case as if it could go before a jury. That preparation often leads to stronger settlement offers. If trial becomes necessary, we will explain the process clearly and stand with you every step of the way.
What if the at-fault driver does not have insurance?
If the person who caused your injuries does not carry insurance, you may still have options. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage could apply. In some cases, additional parties may share responsibility. We review every possible source of recovery to help you pursue compensation.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes, in many situations you can. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are found to be 50 percent or less responsible, you may still recover compensation, although your recovery would be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to present clear evidence that accurately reflects what happened.
What if I start feeling worse days after the accident?
It is common for symptoms to appear or intensify after the initial shock wears off. Neck injuries, brain injuries, and internal damage may not show immediate signs. Seek medical attention as soon as new symptoms arise. Prompt documentation protects both your health and your legal claim.
Do I have to pay taxes on a personal injury settlement?
In many cases, compensation for physical injuries and related medical expenses is not taxable under federal law. However, portions of a settlement tied to lost wages or punitive damages may be treated differently. We can discuss these issues and, when needed, coordinate with tax professionals to make sure you understand how your recovery may be handled.
What happens if the insurance company denies my claim?
A denial does not mean your case is over. Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons, including disputes over liability or injury severity. We can investigate further, gather additional evidence, negotiate aggressively, and file a lawsuit if necessary to pursue the compensation you deserve.
