Road Defect Accident Lawyers in Dallas

The City of Dallas and TxDOT are responsible for maintaining safe roadways. When a pothole, failed pavement, missing guardrail, inadequate signage, or dangerous construction zone causes a crash, the responsible government entity may bear liability under the Texas Tort Claims Act. However, claims against government entities have strict notice requirements — Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §101.101 generally requires notice within 90 days of the incident. If a road defect contributed to your crash in Dallas, contact us immediately so we can preserve your rights.

Damages You Can Recover

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Physical impairment and disfigurement
  • Property damage

Statute of Limitations: Two years from the date of injury (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §16.003). Comparative Fault: You can recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault (§33.001). No fee unless we win.

How soon should I contact a lawyer after my Dallas crash?
Immediately. Dashcam footage, traffic camera data, and witness availability all decrease rapidly after a crash. Early evidence preservation gives your case the strongest foundation.
Do I have to give a statement to the insurance company?
No — and you should not. Recorded statements are used by adjusters to find reasons to minimize or deny your claim. Contact us before speaking with any insurer.
