Our Rich Legal Expertise and Profound Knowledge are the Best Assets to Have on Your Side to Get Fairly Compensated for Injuries Caused in Car Accidents.
Well, then by the law of the state, you have the right to get compensated. However, it is not as easy to get the compensation that you lawfully deserve from the 3rd party or their insurance company. Most of the times, insurers try to reduce the amount of compensation by arguing that the victim was at fault.
You must have an active and aggressive legal representation to make sure that this doesn’t happen to you, and ensure you get fair value for your claim. At Thompson law, we do this better than anyone in the personal injury space.
You can count on our Dallas car accident lawyers to aggressively fight your case and get you full and fair compensation for the losses and pain that you have suffered because of the accident. At Thompson Law, we handle all cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t have to pay us until we recover money for you.
Unfortunately, traffic accidents in the State of Texas lead the nation in car deaths. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), from 2010 to 2016, there were 3,699,329 crashes, with an average of nearly 528,476 crashes annually.
If we look at the car accident statistics of Dallas alone, there were nearly 31,000 accidents in 2015 that resulted in 173 fatalities and 891 incapacitating injuries. This figure surged to 38,823 in 2016 which caused damage to 81,022 vehicles and approximately 103,388 people.
Overall, Dallas accounted for nearly 16.25 percent of the state’s total car accidents in 2016 and the period between 2010 and 2016, Dallas averaged nearly 30,935 car accidents per year which means 84.75 accidents every day, three accidents per hour and one accident every 17 minutes.
On average, two cars are involved in every accident with about two to three people. The most common causes of car accidents that have been reported by the police are:

Since car accidents are quite common in Dallas, it is important that you know your rights. You should also know what steps to take after a car crash.
Texas law puts no limits or caps on your pain and suffering. This means that you can get a substantial compensation if you seek legal assistance and file for a claim. Compensation is your right, and we’ll do whatever we can to help you get the amount that you deserve.
At Thompson Law, we understand your pain and know that no amount of cash can compensate for your health or the loss of a loved one in the car accident. However, by filing a claim against the party responsible for the accident, it can:
Compensate the family of the deceased person that relied on them for financial support
The actions you take after being in a car accident have an impact on the amount of compensation you are likely to receive. Therefore, to protect your rights to compensation for the damages and injuries, here’s what you should and should not do:
In case of an accident and when severely injured, it is advisable that you immediately seek medical assistance for your injuries and contact an experienced Dallas car accident lawyer, like us, to file a lawsuit against the party at fault.
However, if you’re physically capable of moving and standing after the crash then:
Please do not apologize for the accident as it can be wrongly construed as an admission of fault, even when you’re saying it in politeness. Also, never comment on how you feel physically or allow an insurance adjuster to record your statement. Further, do not comment on social media about your accident, as insurance companies can use it against you later. Remember, it’s the job of insurance adjusters to reduce insurance claims payouts. They have no interest in you getting you full and fair compensation. Thus, never sign any release, authorization, or anything for the insurance company of the party at fault.
