Client Story: Injured by a Drunk Driver

Carrollton Drunk Driver Accident LawyerCarrollton Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
Written By Carrollton Injury Lawyer Joel Hudson

Our client was stopped at a red light when a drunk driver slammed into their car, pushing it into the car ahead. As a result of the accident, our client suffered a traumatic brain injury which led to not being able to work or even perform their regular daily tasks. Their life was so severely impacted that they were forced to move out of their home, which they could not afford without working. We went to bat for them and fought the insurance company to cover their medical expenses and more while they focused on healing.

Injuries Sustained in the Accident

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Head and face contusions

  • Neck sprain

  • Concussion

  • Memory loss

  • Ankle sprain

Damages We Fought For

  • Medical costs in the past and future

  • Lost wages

  • Loss of earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering in the past and future

  • Mental anguish in the past and future

  • Permanent disfigurement and scarring

  • Permanent impairment

 

In the end, we put $319,000 in our client’s pocket after paying the firm’s fees, all costs, and all medical bills. While we fought for our client to get paid, they were able to focus on recovering and healing from the accident.

Carrollton Injury Lawyer Joel Hudson

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I’m Joel Hudson, the founder of Carrollton Injury Law, located at 4221 Medical Pkwy, Suite 300, Carrollton, TX 75010.

With over 25 years of experience practicing personal injury law, I’ve built my firm on a simple belief: there’s a better way to handle injury claims. It starts with treating you like a person—not a number—and continues with consistent communication throughout your entire case. You can reach me directly at (972) 360-9898 to discuss your situation—I’m here to listen.

I’ve seen how a single injury can ripple through every part of your life, affecting not just you but your family too. That’s why my approach is different. At Carrollton Injury Law, we don’t just chase settlements; we focus on you. I’ve found that giving clients the extra attention many Dallas law firms overlook leads to happier clients, smoother dealings with adjusters who appreciate the updates, and, ultimately, higher injury settlements in less time. My clients often call me the “personal” attorney because we care about maximizing your recovery while also helping you navigate the disruptions a car accident or injury brings—whether it’s medical bills, lost work, or simply getting back to normal.

I earned my Juris Doctor from Texas A&M University School of Law in 1998, after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Business at Texas Christian University in 1992. Since being admitted to practice in Texas in 1998, I’ve dedicated my career to fighting for injury victims across the state.

At Carrollton Injury Law, we live by our motto: “We put Personal back into Personal Injury Law.” It’s not just a tagline—it’s how we work, every day, for every client.

If you’re ready to talk about your injury claim or just need some guidance, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m here to help you take the first step toward justice and recovery.
