Car Accident Claims
Our car accident attorneys in Dallas specialize in representing victims of motor vehicle collisions. We handle cases involving severe injuries, property damage, and insurance disputes. With over 30 years of experience each, Steve McGilberry and Bill Shirer have secured significant settlements for clients by proving negligence and maximizing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our contingency-fee model ensures no upfront costs.
Work Injury Cases
We advocate for workers injured on the job, including construction site accidents and repetitive stress injuries. Our firm navigates Texas' complex workers' compensation laws to secure benefits for medical treatment, lost income, and rehabilitation. For non-subscriber cases, we pursue third-party claims against negligent contractors or equipment manufacturers, ensuring clients receive full compensation beyond limited insurance policies.
Premises Liability
Our premises liability attorneys hold property owners accountable for unsafe conditions causing slip-and-falls, dog bites, and swimming pool accidents. We investigate hazards like uneven sidewalks or inadequate security, proving negligence through property maintenance records and witness testimony. Cases often involve commercial properties, rental units, and public spaces, with compensation covering medical expenses and long-term care needs.
Wrongful Death Lawsuits
We represent families who have lost loved ones due to medical malpractice, defective products, or fatal accidents. Our attorneys file claims against responsible parties, seeking economic damages for funeral costs and lost income, as well as non-economic damages for emotional suffering. With a track record of multi-million-dollar verdicts, we provide compassionate guidance through probate courts and complex liability investigations.
Bicycle Accident Representation
Our firm specializes in bicycle accident cases involving negligent drivers, defective bike parts, or hazardous road conditions. We secure compensation for catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries, working with medical experts to document long-term care needs. Cases often involve disputes with insurance companies over helmet use or comparative fault, which we counter with detailed accident reconstructions.
