Did you know that an average car has approximately 30,000 individual parts that make up nine primary systems? Each part needs to be designed, manufactured, and installed properly for the vehicle to function safely. In 2024, more than 29 million vehicles in the U.S. were affected by 950 safety recalls. Still, defective parts can directly contribute to causing motor vehicle collisions and resulting injuries.

If you are hurt in an accident, you may already know that you could be entitled to compensation through a personal injury or non-subscriber work injuries claim. Although you may be uncertain about how those claims actually work, you probably expect the insurance company to pay your claim fairly, right? Sadly, that usually is not true.

Most insurers, regardless of the type of policy in question, try to pay only a minimal amount on claims. How will you know if the amount the company is offering is less than it should be? Call our office, and our experienced Dallas personal injury attorney will evaluate your claim, calculate your damages, and fight to maximize your compensation. Se Habla Español.

A little over four years ago, one of the worst pileups in U.S. history happened in Fort Worth, TX. 130 vehicles were involved in a mass collision that injured at least 65 people and resulted in six deaths. The stretch of I-35 W where the chain-reaction crash occurred was covered in ice, and the roadway’s concrete barriers did not allow motorists to avoid the collision. Although North Tarrant Express Mobility Partners S3 had treated the elevated roadway with a brine solution some 44 hours before wintry precipitation began to fall, further road treatment was not undertaken.

Hopefully, a crash of this scope will never happen again. However, collisions on icy roads continue to occur, raising the question of who is liable for paying for your damages if you are injured in a wreck on slick roads. Motor vehicle accident claims could provide compensation for injured victims, and eligible survivors of fatal car wreck victims might secure damages through wrongful death claims. Your skilled Irving, TX personal injury attorney can determine liability and help you pursue full compensation for your damages.

Driving under the influence is dangerous and illegal because there is an increased risk of causing an accident that injures or kills someone. Although drunk drivers make the decision to get behind the wheel, and are therefore responsible for the harm they cause, others may share liability. The Texas Dram Shop Act allows you to hold the party who sold or otherwise provided an obviously intoxicated individual with additional alcohol responsible for any harm that was caused.

Who can be liable if the Dram Shop Act applies to your case? How can you get the evidence you need? An experienced Dallas, TX personal injury lawyer can investigate your accident to uncover and preserve supporting evidence.

What Does the Dram Shop Act Say?

To make a claim against a party under the Dram Shop Act, the adult individual receiving the alcoholic beverage must be "obviously intoxicated to the extent that he presented a clear danger to himself and others." In addition, the intoxication must have been directly related to causing the damages you suffered. Minors should never receive alcoholic beverages, whether by selling, serving, or giving to them.

Texas bikers are fortunate that the weather in the Lone Star State is mild enough to ride their motorcycles throughout the year. For many, riding is more than just a mode of transportation; it represents freedom and enjoyment. Unfortunately, Texas has more motorcycle accident fatalities than most other states.

Some might mistakenly believe that motorcyclists are usually the ones at fault in these crashes, but that is not always the case. Bikers who are injured due to the negligence of other motorists may be eligible for compensation through a personal injury claim, and the families of fatal wreck victims might qualify to bring a wrongful death action.
