Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Cedar Hill

If you were injured because of another person or company’s negligence, recklessness, or failure to act, Texas law gives you the right to seek compensation. At Carrollton Injury Law, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases for individuals and families in Cedar Hill and the surrounding areas.

Car Accidents

Busy roads like US Highway 67, FM 1382, and Belt Line Road see daily collisions. If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle crash, we’ll help you pursue full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

We represent clients in car accident cases involving:

• Rear-end collisions

• T-bone and head-on crashes

• Drunk or distracted driving

• Hit-and-run accidents

• Uninsured/underinsured motorist claims

From investigation to negotiation, we handle it all so you can focus on healing.

Truck Accidents

Semi-trucks and commercial vehicles frequently travel through Cedar Hill’s major roads. When these massive vehicles are involved in accidents, the consequences can be catastrophic. We help victims hold truck drivers and companies accountable for:

• Fatigued or impaired driving

• Unsafe loading practices

• Maintenance failures

• Driver inexperience or negligence

• Violations of federal safety regulations

We know how to uncover the truth, preserve evidence, and take on large corporations and insurers.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road. If you’ve been hit while riding in or near Cedar Hill, we’ll fight to ensure your injuries are treated seriously and your rights are protected.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

Cedar Hill’s mix of city streets and suburban pathways puts pedestrians and cyclists at risk. If a careless driver injured you while you were walking or biking, we’ll help you pursue compensation for:

• Medical bills

• Long-term care

• Lost wages

• Pain and emotional trauma

Slip and Fall Injuries / Premises Liability

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. If you slipped, tripped, or fell on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim. Common examples include:

• Slippery floors in stores or restaurants

• Broken handrails or steps

• Inadequate lighting in parking lots

• Uneven sidewalks or flooring

• Negligent security resulting in injury

We build strong cases by proving the property owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard—and failed to fix it.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Dog owners must keep their pets from harming others. If you or your child was bitten or attacked by a dog in Cedar Hill, Texas law may entitle you to financial compensation. We handle claims involving:

• Emergency care and surgery

• Infection and scarring

• Emotional trauma

• Long-term disability or disfigurement

Wrongful Death

If you’ve lost a loved one due to another person’s negligence, we can help your family seek justice through a wrongful death claim. These cases often follow:

• Fatal car or truck crashes

• Drownings or property hazards

• Workplace or construction site accidents

You may be able to recover damages for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional suffering. We handle these cases with compassion, discretion, and resolve.

Additional Personal Injury Cases We Handle:

• Drunk Driving Accidents

• Uber & Lyft / Rideshare Injuries

• Swimming Pool Accidents

• Construction Site Injuries

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

• Permanent Scarring or Disfigurement

• Catastrophic or Long-Term Disabilities

What To Do After an Injury in Cedar Hill

Your actions after an accident can make or break your injury claim. Follow these steps to protect yourself and your legal rights:

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Your health is your top priority. Some injuries may not be obvious at first, and medical records are critical to proving your claim.

2. Report the Incident

For car accidents, call the police. For slips or other incidents, notify a manager or property owner and ensure a report is created.

3. Document the Scene

Take photos of your injuries, damage, and anything related to the accident. Get names and contact information for any witnesses.

4. Avoid Insurance Company Traps

Don’t give a recorded statement or accept a settlement without speaking to a lawyer. Insurers often try to minimize payouts.

5. Contact Carrollton Injury Law

We’ll review your claim at no cost, explain your rights, and handle all legal aspects while you focus on healing.

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress and mental anguish

• Disability or disfigurement

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the incident. Don’t delay—key evidence can fade quickly.

What if I was partially at fault?

Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. You can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

Will my case go to trial?

Many personal injury claims are resolved through settlement. However, if a fair agreement can’t be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court.

How much is my case worth?

The value of your claim depends on your injuries, medical expenses, recovery time, lost income, and other losses. We’ll provide a detailed case evaluation during your free consultation.
