YOUR RECOVERY. OUR FOCUS.
What we look at
in the first hour.
You sit down with a folder, or maybe just your phone. There’s a tow receipt from a lot off Harry Hines. There are four photos of a crumpled bumper on LBJ Freeway. And there’s a voicemail from an adjuster who wants a recorded statement.
We start with the report number and the time of the crash. Then we ask about cameras. Was there a DART bus nearby, a gas station, a doorbell on the corner? Your neck, your back and your missed shifts come next, in that order.
Let’s talk about your situationA trial lawyer reads your file.
Aaron Herbert is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law. You can look that up on the State Bar of Texas site before you ever call us. Ask him how a Dallas County jury would see your wreck.
Who filmed it?
Before we talk about money, we ask about cameras. The gas station on the corner. A DART bus. The driver behind you with a dash cam. Then we send letters asking each of them to keep the footage.
You leave with a plan.
By the end of the review you’ll know what we would do next, and what you should stop doing. If we don’t think we can help, we’ll say so and tell you why.

View all published resultsDALLAS AND DALLAS COUNTY
What 2025 looked like
on Dallas
streets.
TxDOT logged 24,677 crashes inside Dallas city limits in 2025. They killed 172 people.
How many people were badly hurt?
The same 2025 city table lists 1,065 people with suspected serious injuries in Dallas. Another 5,158 had suspected minor injuries. Officers marked 7,024 more as possible injuries, the kind that often turn out worse a week later.
And across Dallas County?
Countywide, TxDOT counted 43,946 crashes in 2025. Those crashes killed 274 people and left 1,664 with suspected serious injuries. That covers Garland, Irving, Mesquite and the rest of the county, not just the city.
Was the other driver on a phone?
5,587. That’s how many Dallas County crashes in 2025 had a distracted driver flagged by police. Sixteen people died in them. Drunk drivers were in 1,986 crashes and 79 deaths. If you smelled beer at the scene, tell us.
Where would a lawsuit be filed?
Most Dallas car cases that go to court are filed in the Dallas County civil district courts. They sit in the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building at 600 Commerce Street, downtown. If the case doesn’t settle, a Dallas County jury decides fault and damages.
WHY CHOOSE AARON HERBERT?
What a free case review
should tell you.
Treat the review as a test. Ask who would handle your file, what proof we would chase first, and how the fee works. You should get a straight answer to each one before you sign anything.
From the firm: why speaking with an injury attorney matters.
Who was at fault, in our view
We read the officer’s narrative and the contributing factors on the CR-3. Sometimes the report is wrong. If it is, we tell you what it would take to fix the story.
Whose insurance is on the hook?
Start with the driver who hit you. Then your own policy: PIP, and uninsured motorist coverage if you bought it. Was he delivering food or driving a company truck? Then we look at the employer too.
What your medical records show
A gap of three weeks between the crash and your first doctor visit will come up. So will an old back injury. We would rather talk about both now than hear them from the adjuster.
What to say to the insurer
Short version: nothing recorded, and no medical release, until we have read it. Once you hire us, the adjuster calls our office instead of your cell phone.
When will this be over?
Hard to say on day one. A rear-end tap with six weeks of therapy can wrap up in months. A fight over a left turn, plus a surgery, takes much longer.
Do I owe you anything for this?
Not for the review. If you hire us and we don’t recover money, you owe no fee and no expenses. We’ll write out a sample split so you can see the math.
BEFORE YOUR CASE REVIEW
What to bring
to the table.
Bring whatever you have. A report number and a sore shoulder is enough to start. The list below just helps us move faster.
The crash report number.
It’s on the card the officer handed you. TxDOT sells copies online for $6, or $8 for a certified one.
Your photos and video.
Both cars, the intersection, the skid marks, your bruises. Screenshots of your dash cam. Texts from anyone who stopped to help.
Your insurance card and policy.
We need the declarations page to see your PIP and uninsured motorist limits. If you can’t find it, your agent can email it in minutes.
Every letter from an adjuster.
Bring the emails, the texts and the voicemails too. If someone already sent you a release or a check, bring that before you sign or cash it.
Many business cameras record over themselves within days. Cars get repaired or sold for scrap. Call soon so we can ask people to save what they have.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CLAIM
The review is step one.
The claim is built
on proof.
Texas is an at-fault state. The driver who caused the crash, through that driver’s insurer, pays for the harm. Here’s what we build after the review.
Who ran the light?
A pickup blows the red at Greenville and Mockingbird. He tells the officer it was yellow. A storefront camera, the 911 caller or a bus camera can settle that in one clip.
Coverage that matches the harm.
Texas only requires $30,000 per person, $60,000 per crash and $25,000 for property. A single surgery can cost more than that. That’s why we read your own policy as closely as theirs.
A record of what changed.
Therapy twice a week at a clinic in Lake Highlands. Overtime you lost at the warehouse. A daughter you can’t pick up. Each loss needs a bill, a pay stub or a witness.

CLEAR ANSWERS. A BETTER NEXT STEP.
Case review
questions.
Your situation is unique.
We’re here to listen.
What does the free case review cost?
Nothing. You pay no fee or expenses unless you recover. If we take your case, the contract spells out the fee before you sign it.
Do I have to come to the LBJ Freeway office?
The office is at 8330 LBJ Freeway, Suite 700. You’re welcome to come in. Many people start with a phone call and send photos by text, and that works too.
How long do I have to file a Texas car accident lawsuit?
Usually two years from the day of the crash. A few rules can change that date. Talking to an adjuster does not stop the clock. See Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003 ↗.
The adjuster says I was partly to blame. Should I still call?
Call. Texas splits fault by percentage. You recover nothing above 50%, and 20% on you trims the award by a fifth. See CPRC §33.001 and §33.012 ↗.
The driver who hit me had no insurance. Is a review still worth it?
Often it matters more. Check your policy for UM/UIM coverage. Texas insurers must include it unless you turned it down in writing (Insurance Code §1952.101).
I already gave a recorded statement. Did I ruin my claim?
Probably not. Bring what you remember saying, and the date you said it. We will ask the insurer for the recording and read it with you.
What if my case isn’t one you take?
We tell you during the review and explain why. You’ll still leave knowing your filing deadline and what to watch out for.
