Why You Need a Lawyer After a Car Accident in Dallas

If you’ve already reported the crash and called your insurance, you might be thinking: “Do I really need a lawyer?”

Here’s what most people don’t realize – until it’s too late:

• The other driver’s insurance adjuster is trained to pay you as little as possible.
• Your medical bills may pile up long before a settlement is offered.
• Texas is a comparative fault state, which means they’ll try to blame you to reduce your payout – even if it’s clearly not your fault.

That’s where a skilled accident attorney makes all the difference. At Genthe Law Firm, we handle every part of the process – from the paperwork and medical records to the negotiations and courtroom showdowns, if it comes to that.

We’re based right here in Dallas. We know how to push back against adjusters who stall. We know how to build real value into your case – not just for the damage to your car, but for everything you’ve had to deal with: the pain, the time off work, the stress of not knowing what comes next.

Most clients never have to set foot in a courtroom. But when they hire us, insurance companies know we’re not afraid to go there. That pressure changes everything.

Let’s Talk About Your Case

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Not every crash is the same. Some involve 18-wheelers. Others are hit-and-runs, or drunk drivers, or people checking their phones on 635. No matter how it happened, we know how to build a strong case – and we’ve done it for hundreds of Dallas clients.

Here are some of the accident types we handle most often:

🚛 Trucking & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

We’ve gone head-to-head with trucking companies after serious wrecks on I‑30, I‑20, and the Bush Turnpike. These cases are different: more insurance, more paperwork, more aggressive defense lawyers. We’re not intimidated.

• $1.75 million settlement in a trucking crash case after litigation
• $650,000 settlement for a client hit by a commercial vehicle

🚗 Rear-End, T-Bone & Intersection Collisions

From red-light runners to distracted drivers in stop-and-go traffic, we’ve handled crashes at intersections all over Dallas – Mockingbird, Lemmon, Belt Line, you name it.

• $2 million settlement for a rear-end crash victim with long-term injuries

🍺 Drunk & Distracted Driving Wrecks

If someone got behind the wheel drunk or was glued to their phone and caused your injuries, we’ll hold them accountable. These are some of the most preventable crashes – and juries know it.

🛻 Hit-and-Run & Uninsured Driver Claims

Even if the other driver fled or had no insurance, you still have options. We work with your policy to find coverage where others miss it, especially in UM/UIM claims.

We also handle: rideshare accidents (Uber/Lyft), highway pileups, delivery driver crashes, and more.

What To Do After a Car Accident in Dallas

Even a minor wreck can leave you shaken, hurt, and unsure what to do next. Here’s a simple checklist to help protect your health, your rights, and your case – starting on Day One.

1. Call 911
   Always report the accident, even if it seems “minor.” You’ll need a Dallas police report to back up your claim.
2. Get medical attention
   Don’t try to tough it out. Many injuries (like whiplash or internal bleeding) don’t show up right away. Get checked out ASAP – even if it means going to the ER at Parkland or Baylor.
3. Take photos and video
   If you’re physically able, document the scene: vehicles, damage, license plates, injuries, road conditions, and traffic signs.
4. Exchange information
   Get the other driver’s name, phone number, insurance, and license plate. If there are witnesses, grab their contact info too.
5. Don’t admit fault
   Even a polite “sorry” can be twisted against you. Stick to the facts and save the details for your attorney.
6. Report it to your insurance company
   Keep it brief and factual. Don’t give a recorded statement until you’ve spoken with a lawyer.
7. Call a car accident attorney – quickly
   The sooner we’re involved, the better we can protect your case. We’ll help you get medical care, deal with the insurance company, and start building your claim the right way.

Bonus Tip: If your car was towed, call 311 to locate it or check with the Dallas Auto Pound.

How Texas Car Accident Laws Affect Your Case

Even if the crash wasn’t your fault, Texas law can impact your ability to recover money. Knowing the basics can help you avoid mistakes – and understand why having a lawyer on your side makes a huge difference.

📍 Texas Is a “Modified Comparative Fault” State

In Texas, you can recover damages as long as you’re less than 51% at fault for the accident. But if you’re even a little bit responsible, your compensation gets reduced by that percentage.

Example: If you’re awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you’d only receive $80,000. And if they can convince a jury you’re 51% or more to blame? You get nothing.

This is one of the biggest tricks insurance companies use to underpay claims – by shifting blame to you. That’s why having an attorney who knows how to push back matters.

⏰ You Have a Deadline to File

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit in Texas. That might sound like plenty of time – but the longer you wait, the harder it gets to gather evidence, find witnesses, and protect your claim.

Plus, there are exceptions. Claims involving government vehicles, wrongful death, or minors may have different rules. We’ll make sure you don’t miss your window.

📋 You May Be Owed More Than You Think

Car accident claims in Texas can include more than just your vehicle damage. You may be entitled to:

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Lost wages or missed work
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or scarring
• Diminished value of your car

Don’t leave money on the table because the insurance company said it was a “fair offer.” Let’s look at the real numbers together.

What Happens When You Call Us

If you’ve never worked with a lawyer before, you might feel overwhelmed – or even a little suspicious. We get it. That’s why we keep it simple, clear, and client-focused from day one.

Here’s how the process works:

📞 Step 1: Free Case Review

You call or message us. We’ll ask a few quick questions about your crash – what happened, where it happened, and what you’re dealing with now. If we can help, we’ll explain how. If we can’t, we’ll still point you in the right direction.

📝 Step 2: We Get the Paperwork Rolling

Once you hire us, we’ll notify the insurance companies, handle all communication, and start collecting police reports, medical records, and evidence. You won’t have to chase anything – we’ve got it covered.

💡 Step 3: We Help You Get Medical Treatment

If you’re still in pain or don’t know where to turn for care, we can connect you with trusted local doctors who understand personal injury claims – and who don’t require payment up front.

🤝 Step 4: We Build and Negotiate Your Case

We calculate the full value of your claim, including future costs and pain and suffering. Then we negotiate with the insurance adjuster. Most cases settle out of court, but if they won’t play fair, we’re ready to file a lawsuit.

💰 Step 5: You Get Paid

Once your case resolves, we walk you through the settlement and make sure you understand everything. You’ll never be left wondering “what just happened?”

No surprises. No upfront fees. No games. Just a team that takes the pressure off so you can focus on healing.

Car Accident Lawyer FAQs

Do I really need a lawyer for a car accident that wasn’t my fault?

Yes. Even if the crash clearly wasn’t your fault, insurance companies will still try to reduce what they pay you. A lawyer protects your rights, builds your case, and makes sure you’re not lowballed.

How much does it cost to hire a Dallas car accident lawyer?

We don’t charge anything upfront. You only pay us if we win your case. Our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict – not your pocket.

How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?

In most cases, you have 2 years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. But it’s smart to call a lawyer much sooner so evidence doesn’t get lost or destroyed.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

You may still have a case. Many people don’t realize their own policy includes uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We’ll review your policy and help you file the right type of claim.

What if I was partially at fault?

Texas follows a “modified comparative fault” rule. That means you can still recover money as long as you’re less than 51% at fault. But your payout will be reduced by your percentage of blame.

How long does a car accident case take?

Some settle in a few months. Others take a year or more if the injuries are severe or the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Will I have to go to court?

Probably not. Most car accident cases settle without ever going to trial. But if the insurance company won’t play fair, we’re ready to file suit and fight it out in court.

Can I still get treatment if I don’t have health insurance?

Yes. We work with local doctors and clinics who understand injury claims and can treat you now, with payment deferred until your case settles.
