Car accidents happen every day in Texas, but when you’re the victim of a serious crash, your life can change in an instant. Medical bills pile up, you may be unable to work, and insurance companies will try to minimize your claim. At Carrollton Injury Law, we fight back against insurance adjusters, helping you seek the maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Whether your accident was caused by a distracted driver, speeding, reckless driving, or any other form of negligence, we’re here to help.

Texas roads see thousands of commercial truck accidents every year. Because of their massive size and weight, 18-wheelers and semi-trucks can cause catastrophic injuries in collisions. If you’ve been involved in a truck accident, you could be facing life-altering injuries, from spinal cord damage to traumatic brain injuries. Trucking companies and their insurers have teams of lawyers ready to fight your claim. You need an experienced truck accident attorney who knows how to hold negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, and manufacturers accountable.

With the rise of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, rideshare accidents have become more common. Whether you were a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, another driver involved in a collision, or a pedestrian hit by a rideshare driver, determining liability can be complex. Rideshare companies have insurance policies in place, but getting them to pay fair compensation isn’t easy. Our legal team understands the unique challenges of rideshare accident cases and will fight to get you the justice you deserve.

Drunk driving is reckless, illegal, and puts everyone on the road at risk. If you were injured by a drunk driver, you shouldn’t have to deal with the financial and emotional burden alone. Texas law allows victims of drunk driving accidents to seek compensation for medical costs, lost income, and emotional suffering. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the drunk driver for their reckless actions. Our legal team will work tirelessly to hold them accountable and fight for the justice you deserve.
-
Motorcyclists face serious risks on Texas roads, often due to careless or distracted drivers who fail to look for motorcycles. Without the protection of a vehicle’s frame, motorcyclists are vulnerable to severe injuries, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists for accidents, making it even harder to get the compensation you need. At Carrollton Injury Law, we know how to fight these unfair tactics and advocate for injured riders.
-
Cycling is a popular activity in Texas, offering both health benefits and an eco-friendly mode of transportation. However, bicyclists often face significant risks on the road due to negligent drivers. Accidents involving bicycles can lead to severe injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries. At Carrollton Injury Law, we understand the unique challenges that injured cyclists encounter. We are dedicated to advocating for your rights, ensuring that negligent motorists are held accountable, and helping you seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a pedestrian, it's crucial to have a legal team that comprehends the complexities of traffic laws and pedestrian rights. Carrollton Injury Law is committed to providing compassionate and effective representation to help you navigate the legal system and pursue the compensation you deserve.

At Carrollton Injury Law, we have extensive experience handling premises liability claims. Our team will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your injury, determine liability, and advocate for the compensation you need to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs.

Truck accidents often involve commercial vehicles, leading to more severe injuries and complex legal issues. Texas law requires trucking companies and drivers to adhere to specific regulations regarding vehicle maintenance, driver qualifications, and hours of service. Violations of these regulations can establish negligence.

It's essential to consult with an attorney to understand your rights and the best course of action.
-
As a motorcyclist, you have the same rights to the road as other drivers. If another party's negligence caused your accident, you could seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, property damage, and other related expenses.

A wrongful death claim arises when an individual's death results from another party's negligence or intentional act. Unlike personal injury claims filed by the injured party, wrongful death claims are brought by the deceased's surviving family members or estate. Compensation may cover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, emotional suffering, and more. Texas law has specific statutes governing who can file and the timeframe for filing, making it essential to consult with an attorney experienced in wrongful death cases.
-
Swimming pool owners are responsible for maintaining a safe environment. If a drowning occurs due to negligence—such as lack of proper fencing, absence of warning signs, or inadequate supervision—the property owner may be held liable. Surviving family members can pursue a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for their loss. Given the complexities of premises liability laws in Texas, it's advisable to consult with an attorney to evaluate the specifics of the case.
-
A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force causes brain dysfunction, often resulting from falls, vehicle collisions, or sports injuries. Symptoms can range from mild concussions to severe cognitive impairments. If your TBI resulted from another party's negligence, you might be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Due to the complex nature of TBIs and their long-term effects, it's essential to have legal representation to accurately assess and advocate for your damages.
-
Permanent scars can lead to lasting physical and emotional impacts. In personal injury claims, compensation for scarring may cover medical treatments, such as surgeries or therapies, and non-economic damages like emotional distress and diminished quality of life. The visibility and location of the scar, along with its effect on your daily life, are factors considered when determining compensation.
-
Premises liability refers to a property owner's legal responsibility to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. In Texas, if you're injured due to a hazardous condition on someone else's property—such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting—you may have grounds for a slip and fall claim. To succeed, you must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to address it. It's essential to consult with an experienced attorney to evaluate your case and guide you through the legal process.
-
Texas follows the "one-bite rule," meaning a dog owner may be held strictly liable if they knew their dog had previously bitten someone or exhibited aggressive behavior. Additionally, victims can pursue a negligence claim if the owner's careless actions—such as failing to restrain the dog—led to the attack. Given the complexities of these cases, it's crucial to seek legal counsel to navigate the nuances of Texas dog bite laws.
-
Yes, Texas follows a "modified comparative negligence" system. You can recover damages as long as you're less than 51% at fault for the incident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're found 30% responsible, your recovery will be reduced by 30%. It's important to have legal representation to ensure fault is accurately assessed.
-
In most cases, Texas law sets a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Failing to file within this timeframe can bar you from seeking compensation. However, certain circumstances might alter this period, so it's essential to consult with an attorney promptly to understand the specific deadlines applicable to your case.
