Dallas Construction Accident Lawyer

The order of operations is medical care, then evidence, then counsel. A trauma evaluation at Parkland Memorial Hospital (Level I Trauma Center) or a comparable Dallas facility creates the contemporaneous record that supports a future claim, especially when the injury is something like Traumatic brain injuries from falls and struck by accidents that can be missed on a roadside check. Once you are stable, photograph everything you can and write down what you remember while the details are fresh. Insurance adjusters will call quickly. A short call with a lawyer before that conversation almost always changes the trajectory of the case.

Most personal injury cases brought by clients in Dallas are filed in the county district courts, with George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building, 600 Commerce St, Dallas, TX 75202 serving as the principal venue.

Our attorneys are in those courtrooms often enough that we plan around those rhythms rather than reacting to them.

Trauma care in Dallas is concentrated at facilities including Parkland Memorial Hospital (Level I Trauma Center), Baylor University Medical Center, and UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Do not let a missed notice deadline kill an otherwise solid case.

Yes. The corridor along I-35E and the area around I-35E and I-30 (Mixmaster) interchange produce a disproportionate share of the construction accident matters that come into our office out of Dallas. The most common precipitating factor we encounter is Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and roofs.
