If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt in an accident, you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of where to turn. You may be dealing with medical appointments, missed work, and a growing pile of bills, all while trying to heal physically and emotionally. In times like this, it’s hard to know if you need a lawyer, what your rights are, or whether your case is worth pursuing.
Sadly, many accidents are preventable. On May 20, 2025, a worker at the HL-GA Battery facility was fatally injured when an unsecured load fell from a forklift. This incident follows two other fatal personal injuries at the same site. Then, about two weeks later, a mother of two in West Carrollton lost her life in a car crash when another driver reportedly ran a stop sign. These heartbreaking stories remind us how quickly negligence can change lives.

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, there’s a strong chance you have a valid claim. This includes auto accidents, unsafe property conditions, defective products, and more. Even if you’re partially at fault, you may still be eligible to recover compensation under Texas’s comparative fault rules.
We evaluate each case carefully during your FREE CASE REVIEW. Let our legal team give you real answers and trusted guidance.
After a crash, it’s not always obvious who can be held legally responsible. In many cases, more than one party may share the blame, and identifying all of them is key to maximizing your compensation.
For example, if you were hit by a distracted driver who ran a red light, you can file a claim directly against that individual. But if that driver was on the clock for a delivery company like Amazon or DoorDash, their employer may also be liable under Texas law.
In another scenario, let’s say your crash happened because a vehicle’s brakes failed. That could point to a parts manufacturer or a mechanic who performed faulty repairs. Or if poor road maintenance or missing signage played a role, the city or state agency responsible for that roadway may be at fault.
These details matter, and most victims don’t realize how many layers their case could involve. At Thompson Law, we investigate every angle to determine all parties who may owe you compensation.
In most personal injury cases, Texas does not place a cap on the amount you can recover. That means damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering are uncapped. However, punitive damages may be limited unless very specific legal standards are met.
At Thompson Law, we pursue the highest compensation possible, whether your claim is valued at thousands or millions. With over $1.9 billion recovered, we know how to present your case for full financial justice.
Under Texas law, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss that deadline, your right to pursue compensation may be permanently lost.
That’s why we take swift legal action. From gathering evidence to filing a lawsuit before the statute expires, we keep your case moving forward. Let our Carrollton personal injury lawyers protect your rights before time runs out.

Yes, most personal injury lawyers, including Thompson Law, work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay any upfront legal fees, and we only get paid if we win your case. This approach ensures that everyone, regardless of financial situation, has access to experienced legal representation.
Contingency fees typically range from 20% to 40% of the final settlement or court award. At Thompson Law, we’re upfront and transparent about fees from day one, so there are never surprises.
No, a personal injury attorney cannot accept a settlement without your permission. At Thompson Law, we explain every offer, discuss your options, and help you make an informed decision. You remain in full control of your case throughout the process.
Medical malpractice claims are among the most difficult due to the complexity of proving a healthcare provider violated the standard of care. These cases often require expert testimony and detailed medical evidence. Despite the challenges, our team has the resources and experience to handle these cases effectively.
Here’s a crucial thing to understand about Texas law: it works on what’s called a modified comparative fault system. What that basically means for you is, even if you’re a little bit at fault for the accident, you can still get compensation. That is as long as you’re not 51% or more to blame.
If you are injured in any type of accident, your first priority should be to seek immediate medical attention, even if you are not certain that you are injured. Seeking immediate medical treatment does two things: 1) it ensures injuries you sustained are diagnosed and treated; and, 2) it helps eliminate any doubt by the insurance company that your injuries were caused by the accident.
Often, the shock and adrenaline of an accident can mask symptoms of injuries, so making the mistake of skipping a medical examination can have profound consequences. By seeking prompt medical treatment, you protect both your health and your ability to seek compensation for your injuries with the help of your attorney.
If you were in a motor vehicle accident we have also detailed here what to do after a car accident.
A skilled personal injury lawyer is necessary to get full and fair compensation for injuries you sustained in an accident. Most defendants, whether individual drivers or commercial vehicle operators, are covered by liability insurance. Those insurance companies are not obligated to protect or take care of you. Insurance companies exist to protect the defendant (their customer) who caused the wreck.
A personal injury attorney can help you obtain compensation for every category of damages to which you are legally entitled. These damages can include things like: medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain & suffering, punitive damages, loss of limb, diminished mental function, physical impairment, scarring or disfigurement, emotional or mental trauma, and loss of consortium (in wrongful death claims). Further, you may be entitled to future medical bills, future lost income, future pain and suffering, and other damages in severe injury cases.
Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage can help save the day if you are hit by an uninsured driver or if you are the victim in a hit-and-run collision. In short, UM coverage is an add-on coverage that drivers can add to their auto insurance policies that will protect them in the event that they are in an auto accident with a driver who either does not have insurance or cannot be located. You can contact your insurance provider to confirm whether your policy includes UM. If you do not have this coverage, the personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law recommend that you consider adding UM to your auto insurance policy today.
Absolutely not. It’s important to leave the investigation to the professionals. They know exactly how to work a case to determine all of the facts and details.
Some of the most devastating injuries caused by careless driving happen to pedestrians. As a pedestrian, you have the same right to be free from injury and harm caused by the irresponsibility, error, or negligence of others as any motorist on the road. In is important to obtain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible if you are injured as a pedestrian. The right attorney will see that you receive the medical care you need, guide your damage claim process, and receive full compensation for your injuries.
Typically, yes. If a family member is seriously injured or killed in an accident, or if the injured party is a minor child, then it may be appropriate under the law for a parent, spouse, relative, or legal guardian to file a claim or lawsuit on behalf of the injured or deceased party. These types of claims are complex, and usually depend on the type of relationship involved, as well as the individual facts and circumstances of the injury. Calling the experienced personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law is step one to explore filing an injury claim on behalf of your loved one.
If the other vehicle involved in your crash was an 18 wheeler or another commercial vehicle, call an attorney immediately. Companies who own commercial vehicles and 18 wheelers often have their own team of investigators who will arrive on the scene immediately working on the driver’s defense case. The sooner you involve an attorney of your own, the better your chances are of receiving compensation for your injuries and damages.
No. They aren’t trying to help you. They’re trying to protect their drivers and reduce their costs. That’s why they have a team of lawyers ready to flock to the scene of any accident. Don’t accept any form of compensation until you talk to your attorney. Most victims of 18 wheeler crashes sustain more injuries than victims of normal crashes, and can receive higher compensation as a result. Don’t let them fool you into accepting a smaller payout for your injuries and damages. Your injuries could require years of medications and surgeries, and the company will try everything to avoid making huge payouts. Call your attorney and let them do the negotiating on your behalf.
The best personal injury attorney has three major characteristics: Excellent customer service, cutting edge technology, and a willingness to take cases and win at trial. Ask your potential attorney about the client experience they offer, what kind of technology they use to make your life easier, and when was the last time they took a case to jury trial. Asking these types of questions will give you guidance on what kind of experience you can expect as a client and what kind of results you can expect at the end of your case.
Thompson Law has high ratings from clients for its emphasis on customer service, and its attorneys have achieved significant results on small, large, and complex cases alike. No matter if you have been involved in a minor car wreck or are dealing with catastrophic injuries from a rarer and more devastating event like a terrible workplace accident, dog bite, or an 18 wheeler wreck, Thompson Law can assist you.

An insurance company will not pay medical expenses or other damages as they come due; rather, after they have accepted liability, the insurance company will make a one-time, lump-sum final payment only at the end of your case. Dealing with medical expenses and obtaining the proper medical care after an accident can be tricky. But it does not have to be! Call the personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law, who can explain how to deal with the “day-of” hospital bills, how to continue to receive the care you need, and ultimately how to recover an appropriate settlement that takes care of your bills from the incident as well as fair and just compensation for you.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t a legal show on TV and your case will not settle in the next hour – or even tomorrow. The true answer is: it depends. We find that most cases settle within 6-12 months from date of incident; but the timeline in your case could be shorter or longer depending on: the facts and circumstances of the accident; the length of time it takes you to complete medical treatment; and the character of the insurance company, or companies, involved in your case. In the event that your case cannot settle pre-litigation and it becomes necessary to file a lawsuit, the litigation process alone can take 1 to 2 years due to the court system and legal process necessary to prepare for trial. But because so much of the timeline depends on the facts and circumstances of your unique case, call Thompson Law today to discuss the personal injury claims process.
Thompson Law charges NO FEE unless we obtain a settlement for your case. We’ve put over $1.9 billion in cash settlements in our clients’ pockets. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your accident, get your questions answered, and understand your legal options.
