Burleson Personal Injury Attorneys

Types of Accident and Injury Cases We Handle

I-35W runs directly through Burleson as part of a major North Texas trade corridor, carrying heavy commuter and commercial truck traffic every day. That traffic, combined with the city's continued growth, contributes to a steady stream of preventable accidents. Our attorneys handle:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Construction accidents
• Premises liability and slip-and-fall claims
• Rideshare accidents involving Uber or Lyft

How We Build Your Case

1. Free Consultation. We listen to what happened, assess the details of your accident, and identify who may be responsible.
2. Investigation and Evidence. Evidence disappears quickly. We move fast to secure police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and medical records.
3. Aggressive Negotiation. We deal directly with insurance adjusters and push back on delay tactics, lowball offers, and unfair blame.
4. Trial-Ready Preparation. We prepare every case as though it's headed to court, so insurers know we won't settle for less than your case is worth.

What Compensation May Be Available

Compensation in a personal injury case generally falls into two categories:

Economic damages cover direct financial losses, including:

• Medical bills and future treatment costs
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket costs related to the injury

Non-economic damages account for harder-to-quantify losses, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Mental anguish

What a claim is actually worth depends on the severity of your injuries, how clear liability is, and how the accident has changed your day-to-day life. A quick settlement offer rarely reflects the full picture, especially before you've finished treatment.

Do You Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim isn't just about proving someone else was careless. It's about showing that carelessness caused real, compensable harm. You may have a valid claim if:

• Someone else's negligence, whether a distracted driver, a property owner, or an employer, caused your accident
• You suffered injuries that required medical treatment, even if you're still not sure how serious they are
• You're missing work or unable to do your job the way you could before the accident
• The insurance company has offered a quick settlement that doesn't account for ongoing treatment or lost income
• The at-fault party or their insurer is disputing liability or trying to shift blame onto you
• More than one party may share responsibility, such as in a multi-vehicle crash or a workplace accident involving a third-party contractor

If any of this sounds familiar, a free consultation can tell you whether you're leaving compensation on the table.

Texas Personal Injury Law: What to Know

A few rules under Texas law directly affect how much time you have to act and how much your claim may be worth:

• Texas generally allows two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit
• Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule — you can recover damages if you're 50% or less at fault, though your compensation is reduced by your share of fault
• Claims involving a government entity, such as an accident involving a city vehicle or a hazard on city-maintained property, follow shorter deadlines and specific notice requirements
• Most personal injury cases, including ours, are handled on a contingency-fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront
