If you were hurt because of someone else’s negligence, a Dallas personal injury lawyer at Allbee Law Firm can handle your claim from start to finish, deal with the insurance companies, and pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Allbee Law Firm represents people injured in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle and bike crashes, pedestrian accidents, rideshare accidents, and dog bites, along with families who have lost a loved one to a wrongful death.
Most people have never filed a personal injury claim before, and the insurance company knows it.

We offer a free initial consultation and work on a contingency fee basis, so there is no fee unless we win.
How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You
After an accident, you are dealing with pain, doctor visits, missed work, and calls from adjusters all at once. A personal injury lawyer handles the legal side so you can focus on getting better.
Investigating What Happened
Our team gathers the evidence needed to prove who caused the accident, including the crash report, photos, video footage, witness statements, and medical records. In more serious cases, we work with experts to reconstruct the accident and explain how your injuries will affect your future.
Handling the Insurance Companies
Insurers are in business to pay as little as possible. Adjusters are trained to ask questions in ways that can reduce the value of your claim, and anything you say in a recorded statement can be used against you later if the case goes to court. When you hire Allbee Law Firm, we handle all communication with the insurance companies for you.
Valuing Your Claim
Many injury victims accept the first offer without knowing what their claim is actually worth. We look at your medical bills, future treatment, lost income, and how your injuries affect your daily life to make sure any settlement reflects the full impact of the accident.
Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit When Needed
Most injury cases settle without going to trial, but some insurance companies refuse to make a fair offer. When that happens, Allbee Law Firm is prepared to file a personal injury lawsuit and take your case to court.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Dallas
Allbee Law Firm focuses on helping people injured in traffic crashes and dog attacks, and families pursuing wrongful death claims.
Car Accidents
Car crashes are the most common type of personal injury case in Dallas. Our Dallas car accident lawyers handle rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, drunk driving accidents, hit-and-run crashes, and every other type of accident on Dallas roads.
Truck Accidents
Crashes with 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles often cause serious injuries and involve trucking companies with large insurance policies. Our Dallas truck accident lawyers move quickly to preserve black box data and trucking records.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft accidents involve special Texas insurance rules that depend on what the driver was doing in the app. Our Dallas rideshare accident lawyers help injured passengers, drivers, and others hurt by rideshare vehicles.
Motorcycle, Bike, and Pedestrian Accidents
Motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians have little protection in a crash, and their injuries are often severe. Allbee Law Firm represents victims of motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents throughout Dallas.
Dog Bites
A dog attack can cause deep wounds, infections, scarring, and lasting fear, especially for children. Our Dallas dog bite lawyers help victims recover compensation from the dog’s owner, often through a homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy.
Catastrophic Injuries
Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and severe burns can change a person’s life forever. Our attorneys work with medical and financial experts to account for a lifetime of care in catastrophic injury cases.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one is killed because of someone else’s negligence, certain family members can bring a wrongful death claim. Our Dallas wrongful death lawyers handle injury and wrongful death cases with compassion while holding the responsible party accountable.
How Personal Injury Law Works in Texas
Negligence
Most personal injury claims are based on negligence, which means someone failed to act with reasonable care and caused your injuries. A driver who runs a red light, texts behind the wheel, or drives drunk is acting negligently. To win your case, your attorney must show that the other party was careless and that their carelessness caused your injuries and losses.
Shared Fault
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule called proportionate responsibility. You can recover compensation as long as you are 50 percent or less at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover anything. Insurers often try to shift blame onto injured people for exactly this reason.
The Statute of Limitations
In the state of Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to recover compensation, so it is important to talk to a lawyer early.
Compensation in a Personal Injury Case
Economic Damages
Economic damages cover the financial losses caused by your injuries, including past and future medical bills, physical therapy, lost income, and reduced earning capacity if you cannot return to the same work.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages cover losses that do not come with a receipt, including pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, and scarring or disfigurement. These damages are often a large part of a serious injury claim.
Wrongful Death Damages
Families in a wrongful death case may recover lost financial support, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and funeral expenses.
What to Do After You Are Injured in an Accident in Dallas
Get Medical Care
Get checked out as soon as possible, even if you feel okay. Some injuries, like concussions and soft tissue injuries, take days to show up, and a gap in treatment gives adjusters a reason to argue you were not really hurt.
Document the Accident
Call the police so there is an official report, take photos of the scene and your injuries, and get contact information from witnesses. Keep copies of your medical records, bills, and proof of time missed from work.
Avoid Talking to the Insurance Companies
Do not give a recorded statement, sign any documents, or accept a settlement offer before speaking with a lawyer. Once you accept a settlement, you usually cannot ask for more money later, even if your injuries turn out to be worse than you thought.
The Personal Injury Claim Process
Every case is different, but most personal injury claims follow the same general steps.
Free Initial Consultation
The process starts when you call us for a free consultation, where we learn what happened, answer your questions, and explain your options. There is no cost and no obligation.
Investigation and Medical Treatment
While you focus on treatment, our team investigates the accident and gathers evidence. We usually wait until you have finished treatment, or until your doctors understand your long-term needs, before valuing the claim.
Demand and Negotiation
We send a demand to the insurance company that lays out the evidence and the full value of your claim, then negotiate for the best possible outcome. Many injury cases settle at this stage.
Lawsuit and Trial
If the insurance company will not make a fair offer, we file a lawsuit, often in a Dallas County court. Even after a lawsuit is filed, many cases settle before trial. If yours does not, we are prepared to present your case to a jury.
What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Allbee Law Firm handles every case on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and our attorney fees come out of the settlement or verdict we recover for you. If we do not recover compensation, you owe no attorney fee. This allows anyone injured in Dallas to hire a personal injury lawyer, no matter their financial situation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Texas?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some claims have shorter deadlines or special notice requirements, especially claims against government entities, so it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
The value of a personal injury case depends on the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, your lost income, how the injuries affect your daily life, the available insurance coverage, and the strength of the evidence. Our attorneys can give you a better idea once we understand your injuries and treatment.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take?
Some claims resolve within a few months, while cases with serious injuries, disputed fault, or a lawsuit can take a year or longer. Settling too early can leave money on the table if your injuries turn out to be worse than they first seemed.
