Car Accident Lawyers in Dallas and Tarrant County
The car accident lawyers who work in the Salazar Law Firm have many years of experience representing individuals in a variety of personal injury cases, including cases involving car accidents. Read more below.
Why legal representation matters against an insurer
Not every situation involving a motor vehicle accident requires legal representation, and many people choose to file personal injury claims against their insurance company by themselves. However, taking this route can be extremely risky in the long run if you are not fully aware of the legal complexities of car wreck cases. The highly-qualified car accident lawyers at the Salazar Law Firm have extensive knowledge of the laws that apply to situations like yours and we will assist you in every aspect of your case, from filing the claim to representing you in court, if necessary. We can handle the entire case on your behalf and make sure you get the justice you deserve.
We understand that you may feel uncomfortable with hiring a car accident lawyer to handle these kinds of situations. You may believe that it will only complicate the problem, or that you can’t afford a decent attorney anyway. However, not hiring a lawyer can cause a lot of unforeseen problems in the long term, and the chances of winning your case without an expert on your side are far lower than you may think. People often don’t realize exactly how complex motor vehicle accident claims can become. Unlike your lawyer, the insurance companies don’t have your best interests at heart and its possible they will try to take advantage of you.
This is why you need legal protection in these types of cases. An attorney may be the only person you can trust to take care of you in these situations, and having someone on your side is an absolute necessity to make sure justice is served. Countless times, people have tried to deal with the insurance companies on their own and they end up worse off than they were before. But don’t worry, the car accident lawyers at the Salazar Law Firm will help prevent that from happening. With our team, you can be compensated for the amounts you deserve and not have to stress about being short-changed by the insurance companies.
The types of crash we handle in Dallas and Tarrant County
Not every crash is claimed the same way. The vehicle involved changes which insurance responds, which regulations apply and what evidence has to be secured first.
- Car-to-car collisions. The most common scenario. The argument usually turns on who was responsible and in what proportion, and on whether the insurer acknowledges the real extent of the injuries.
- Motorcycle accidents. More severe injuries and an insurer that tries more often to shift blame. We cover it in our guide on motorcycle accidents in Dallas and Fort Worth.
- 18-wheeler and commercial truck accidents. Federal transportation regulations, vehicle records and more than one potentially responsible company come into play. We develop this in 18-wheeler accident claims in Texas.
- Rideshare accidents involving Uber or Lyft. Coverage depends on the driver’s app status at the moment of the crash. See who pays after an Uber or Lyft accident in Texas.
- Pedestrians and bicycle accidents. With no protection at all against the impact, injuries tend to be severe and the argument over right of way is central.
What we do with your case
We handle the full legal process: gathering and preserving evidence from the crash, obtaining the accident report and the medical records, dealing with the insurers on your behalf, and taking the matter to court if that is what it requires. You concentrate on recovering.
A central part of the work is the argument over responsibility. In Texas, compensation is reduced in proportion to the percentage of fault assigned to you, and disappears if that percentage exceeds 50%. We explain how that calculation works in what your injury case is worth in Texas.

The general deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas is two years from the date of the accident. Gathering evidence takes time, so it is best not to run the clock down.
