Dallas Car Accident Attorneys Who Know the Roads

Dallas has some of the most complex freeway interchanges in the country — the High Five Interchange at I-635 and US-75, the downtown mixmaster where I-30 and I-35E merge, and the ongoing I-635 LBJ managed lanes reconstruction. Combined with distracted driving, drunk driving, and heavy commercial truck traffic, serious car accidents happen daily across Dallas County. Dallas ranks #8 in the U.S. for fatal drunk-driving rates.

Patterson Law Group represents car accident victims throughout Dallas — from Oak Cliff to Uptown, from Lakewood to Irving. We handle every aspect of your claim while you focus on recovery.

Dallas's Most Dangerous Roads

Our attorneys are familiar with the specific conditions on Dallas's most crash-prone corridors:

I-35E / Stemmons Freeway — bottleneck through the Design District and Medical District with heavy truck traffic
I-30 / R.L. Thornton Freeway — east-west through downtown; the "Mixmaster" interchange is notoriously complex
I-635 / LBJ Freeway — decades of construction, aggressive commuters, and high speeds
US-75 / Central Expressway — high-volume, high-speed corridor from downtown north through Richardson
I-45 / Julius Schepps Freeway — truck traffic and commuter volume south of downtown
SH-183 / Airport Freeway — DFW Airport access with heavy commercial vehicle flow

What to Do After a Dallas Car Accident

Call 911

Report the crash and request emergency services. A police report is critical evidence.

Document the Scene

Photograph all vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, and traffic controls.

Get Medical Care

See a doctor immediately — even if you feel fine. Some injuries (TBI, internal bleeding) present delayed symptoms.

Don't Talk to Insurers

Adjusters record statements to minimize payouts. Call us first.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Dallas?

Texas law gives you two years from the date of the accident under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.003. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim.

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?

You may have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage through your own policy. We also investigate whether other parties — employers, vehicle owners, or government entities — may share liability.

Can I still recover damages if I was partly at fault?

Yes, under Texas's modified comparative fault rule (§33.001), you can recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your award is reduced by your share of fault.

What damages can I recover after a Dallas car accident?

You may recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and property damage.
