Get Compensation You Deserve

When another driver causes a collision, the aftermath can feel completely overwhelming. You’re dealing with injuries, medical appointments, and bills arriving faster than you can open them. Meanwhile, insurance adjusters are calling with questions that seem designed to trip you up rather than help you get better.

You don’t have to handle this all on your own. We gather the evidence that proves what happened, push back against insurance companies trying to pay you less than you deserve, and fight for the full compensation you need to recover and move forward.

What Makes Our Approach Different

We Act Fast on Evidence

Vehicle collision cases often depend on details that vanish quickly. Photographs from the scene, the specific pattern of vehicle damage, statements from people who saw what happened, and surveillance footage from nearby businesses all disappear rapidly. Traffic camera recordings and business security systems typically erase old footage after just days or weeks.

We move immediately to secure everything that proves fault and demonstrates the full extent of harm before those records are gone permanently.

Insurance Tactics Don’t Influence Us

Adjusters frequently contact crash victims very quickly, requesting recorded statements and presenting settlement offers before people truly understand how badly they’re hurt. Once you bring us on board, every one of those conversations goes through our office. We assemble comprehensive claim documentation and conduct negotiations from a position of strength rather than allowing pressure tactics to dictate outcomes.

Our Results Speak to Our Commitment

We’ve brought in over $1.9 billion on behalf of injured clients throughout our history. The reason? Every case gets prepared with the assumption it might end up before a jury. That preparation fundamentally changes how the other side approaches settlement discussions.

You Can Contact Us Around the Clock

Time-sensitive evidence preservation matters tremendously. Commercial vehicle crashes, situations involving serious harm, and incidents requiring immediate investigation all demand fast action. We’ll secure necessary records and footage right away, then manage the ongoing work while you concentrate on healing.

Your Financial Risk Is Zero

Contingency fee arrangements mean attorney fees come out of whatever we recover for you. If your case doesn’t result in compensation, you won’t receive a bill from us.

Actual Case Results We've Achieved

These are real recoveries we’ve secured for injured clients:

  • $14,280,000 for quadriplegia caused by tire failure
  • $11,991,670 for death in truck accident
  • $10,026,249 for pulmonary injury from tile sealant
  • $9,187,114 for burn injury in industrial accident

  • $8,540,000 for death in vehicle crashworthiness case
  • $8,010,186 for death from fuel system failure
  • $7,911,694 for death from fuel system failure
  • $7,787,790 for quadriplegia from tire failure

The Types of Crashes Our Practice Handles

Different Vehicle Incidents

How These Collisions Typically Occur

  • Getting struck from behind while stopped or slowing
  • Head-to-head impacts
  • Broadside collisions at intersections
  • Chain-reaction pileups involving multiple vehicles
  • Single-vehicle crashes caused by road defects
  • Hit-and-run situations

What Usually Causes These Incidents

According to Plano Police Department data, the most common contributing factors in local crashes include:

  • Exceeding speed limits (23.2% of collisions)
  • Distracted or inattentive driving (11.75% of collisions)
  • Making unsafe lane changes (10.9% of collisions)
  • Failing to yield when turning left (9.3% of collisions)
  • Running red lights (7.5% of collisions)
  • Failing to stay in a single lane (4.7% of collisions)
  • Driving under the influence
  • Drowsy or fatigued driving
  • Following too closely

The Harm These Collisions Cause

Here's How We'll Build Your Case

We Secure Critical Evidence Before It Disappears

Time matters tremendously during the initial hours following a crash. We obtain your Plano Police Department crash report, request any available traffic camera footage, contact people who witnessed what happened, and work to secure video from nearby businesses before they erase it. Everything that proves what occurred gets preserved: photographs, recordings, witness statements, and electronic data from vehicles.

We Connect Your Injuries to the Crash

Your treatment records, the timeline of care you’ve received, and what doctors say you’ll require going forward all get documented thoroughly. We stay in communication with medical providers to prevent gaps in documentation or disputes over billing that could weaken your claim.

We Find Every Dollar of Available Insurance

The at-fault driver’s policy is just the starting point. We also examine your own uninsured/underinsured motorist protection, any coverage through the at-fault driver’s employer, and other potential sources of compensation. Quite often, multiple parties share responsibility for collisions, so identifying everyone who’s legally accountable makes a substantial difference.

We Prepare Your Case Like It’s Going to Trial

From the very beginning, we develop your claim as though it will be presented to a Collin County jury. This approach generates genuine leverage when insurance companies realize we’re ready to proceed with litigation if their offer isn’t reasonable.

The Money You Can Get for Your Crash

Compensation covers how the collision affected your health, finances, and daily life:

Medical Treatment

Emergency room care, hospitalizations, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment, and future medical needs.

Lost Earnings

Paychecks you’ve missed, reduced hours, diminished earning capacity, and future income you won’t be able to earn if injuries prevent you from working.

Physical Pain and Suffering

Discomfort and limitations your injuries cause, both currently and into the future.

Emotional Distress

Anxiety, depression, and psychological trauma resulting from the crash.

Vehicle and Property Losses

Repair costs, total loss value, diminished value, rental expenses, towing, and other damaged belongings.

Loss of Enjoyment

Activities and hobbies you can no longer participate in.

Loss of Consortium

Impact on your relationship with your spouse.

Mistakes That Could Harm Your Case

  • Delaying medical treatment creates gaps insurers use to argue injuries weren’t serious
  • Making definitive statements to police that you’re not injured
  • Posting about the collision or your activities on social media
  • Accepting quick settlement offers before understanding full injury extent
  • Giving recorded statements to adjusters without legal representation
  • Signing broad medical releases granting insurers access to entire health histories
  • Failing to photograph the scene and vehicle damage
  • Not gathering witness contact information
  • Waiting too long before contacting an attorney

FAQs

What if the other driver’s insurance denies fault?

A denial does not end the claim. We rely on crash reports, camera footage, vehicle data, and witness accounts to establish responsibility even when an insurer refuses to accept it.

Can I still make a claim if my car had previous damage?

Yes. You can recover for new damage caused by this collision. Repair estimates and photos help separate old issues from harm created in the recent crash.

What happens if the crash involved three or more vehicles?

Multi-car crashes often involve shared responsibility. We examine each driver’s actions and every available insurance policy so the full burden does not fall on you.

Do I have to accept the insurance company’s vehicle valuation?

No. You can challenge a low appraisal with comparable sales, independent estimates, and diminished value evidence. We help gather proof that reflects the true worth of your car.

What if the at-fault driver was using a work vehicle?

The employer may share responsibility when the driver was on the job. Commercial policies often provide higher limits, and we investigate employment records to confirm coverage.

Can I recover pay for missed overtime or bonuses?

Yes. Lost income includes regular wages, overtime, commissions, and other earnings you would have received without the crash.

What if the crash involved a driver with an expired license?

An expired license does not prevent a claim. Liability depends on negligence and available insurance, not license status.

Can passengers in my car file their own claims?

Yes. Each injured passenger has a separate right to seek compensation and may pursue claims against multiple policies.

What if my vehicle was repaired poorly after the crash?

You can seek additional compensation when substandard repairs leave safety issues or reduce the car’s value.

Can a claim include future vehicle replacement costs?

If repairs cannot restore safety or value, compensation can address the need for a replacement rather than temporary fixes.
