Dallas Accident & Injury Guide
Everything is bigger in Texas, including the traffic in Dallas. With the rapid expansion of the DFW metroplex, roads like Loop 12, I-635 (LBJ Freeway), and the High Five Interchange have become high-risk zones for severe collisions. In 2024, Dallas recorded a staggering 207 traffic fatalities, one of the highest rates per capita in the state.
If you are injured in a wreck in Dallas, you are dealing with some of the most congested courts in Texas. You need legal representation that knows how to navigate the Dallas County court system and medical providers who understand how to document traumatic injuries for insurance claims.

- I-35E Lower Stemmons: A high-speed corridor with frequent lane shifts and construction.
