Thousands of vehicles swarm Dallas/Fort Worth highways every day, presenting an increased risk for collisions. In 2019, Dallas was ranked number five out of the most dangerous American cities for severe car accidents. Three months into 2021, there have already been 42 fatalities in Fort Worth. Again and again, the statistics show that traffic accidents have become a leading cause of death and injury in the DFW metroplex.

The Carabin Shaw Car Accident Attorneys Can Represent Your ClaimThere are as many types of car accidents in Dallas/Fort Worth as there are vehicles on the road. The type of accident can affect the severity of your injuries, your lawyer’s legal strategy, and the financial settlement amount.
The most common types of auto accidents handled at Carabin Shaw law firm include:
Car AccidentPassenger vehicle accidents are the most common type of accident claim our Dallas/Fort Worth car wreck lawyers handle. Most drivers operate this kind of vehicle, so these are the most statistically likely collisions on DFW roads.
Truck/18-Wheeler AccidentBig truck accidents are often the most deadly types of auto accidents. Because of the sheer size and force of a semi-truck, passengers in smaller vehicles are unlikely to survive these collisions unscathed.
Motorcycle AccidentMotorcycle accidents often result in friction burns (road rash), internal injuries, or head trauma. When other drivers fail to accommodate motorcyclists, it is almost always the cyclist that bears the brunt of the injury.
Workplace Vehicle AccidentIf you were injured in a collision while operating a vehicle during the course of your employment, you may be entitled to worker’s compensation benefits. If your employer does not subscribe to worker’s compensation insurance, you should contact a personal injury attorney.
Rear-End CollisionsThe National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reports that a majority of rear-end collisions are caused by distracted driving. Rear-end collisions can lead to multiple car pile-ups and a substantial amount of damages. Victims of these collisions have the right to hold distracted drivers financially accountable for their damages.
Rideshare AccidentsIf you have been injured in an Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare vehicle, you may be eligible to sue for compensation. However, it can take an experienced attorney to navigate the complexities of a rideshare collision accident claim.
Auto Accidents Resulting in Wrongful DeathIf you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of other drivers, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death suit. Though no settlement can make up for the loss of your loved one, you deserve compensation for your loss as well as funeral and medical costs.
Were you injured in an auto accident not listed above? As long as the accident was little to no fault of your own, you are eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible parties. It is important to consult with a qualified Dallas/Fort Worth car wreck lawyer to learn about your options.
