At Zinda Law Group, our Dallas personal injury lawyers were built on a simple belief: regular, hardworking people shouldn’t be pushed around by large corporations and insurance companies with unlimited resources.
Our founder, Jack Zinda, grew up in a small town in East Texas watching how the system was tilted against everyday people. That’s why he created a law firm large enough to take on empires, with the resources and experience to level the playing field when you walk into a courtroom.
We’re located at 100 Highland Park Village Suite 200, Dallas, TX 75205, and we’ve helped thousands of injury victims across Texas recover the damages they need to move forward. No matter if you were hurt in a car crash, slip and fall, dog attack, or another type of incident, our team will investigate thoroughly and fight for maximum compensation.
Your consultation is free. You pay nothing unless we win your case. Call us now at (800) 863-5312 or reach our local office directly at (214) 390-3177 for a free case evaluation.

Damages You May Be Entitled To
Your compensation depends on the specifics of your situation, but may include:
Medical Expenses
Ambulance transport, emergency room visits, surgical procedures, prescriptions, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and medical equipment. We pursue recovery for expenses you’ve already incurred and treatment you’ll need going forward.
Income Losses
Compensation for paychecks you’ve missed, bonuses you didn’t receive, overtime, vacation time, and diminished earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working at your previous level.
Damaged Property
Costs to repair or replace your vehicle and any personal belongings destroyed in the incident.
Physical and Emotional Harm
Recovery for ongoing pain, psychological trauma, mental anguish, emotional distress, physical impairment, physical disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and the ways your injury has diminished your daily life.
Punitive Damages
Courts may impose additional damages when the responsible party’s behavior was especially reckless or deliberate. These damages act as a punishment and reminder that dangerous actions have serious consequences.
Why You Should Act Quickly
Waiting too long can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation. Here’s why timing matters:
Texas Filing Deadline
According to Texas’ statute of limitations for civil suits (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003), you have two years from the date of your accident to submit a lawsuit. If you wait too long to hire a lawyer and take legal action, you could miss the two-year filing deadline and be forced to go without the compensation you deserve.
Our lawyers are aware of Texas’ filing requirements and can make sure your suit is compliant with all the laws that apply to it.
Evidence Disappears
Critical evidence has a tendency to disappear over time. Things get lost. Witnesses move away, forget important details, or pass away. A personal injury attorney can help ensure you collect all the critical pieces of evidence for your case as soon as possible.
Insurers Start Working Against You Immediately
Insurance companies are businesses with shareholders. They try as hard as they can to avoid paying out settlements because it impacts their financial bottom line. If you delay hiring a personal injury attorney, you give the insurance company more time to get their defensive strategy in place, which reduces the likelihood of the best possible settlement.
Moving promptly keeps you in control and protects what you’re rightfully owed.
Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Deal With the Insurance Company
If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by another person or entity, hire a personal injury lawyer from our team before you communicate with the insurance company.
Insurance companies are known for acting dishonestly and doing everything they can to reject honest claims. If you contact the insurance provider without a lawyer present, they could get you to say something that hurts your claim and stops you from getting the damages you’re owed.
An insurance adjuster may also try to offer you a settlement amount that is either below the policy limits or that does not adequately cover your injuries. Keep in mind that you are not required to accept a lowball settlement offer. An attorney can determine if a settlement offer is too low and negotiate to get it raised.
Modified Comparative Negligence in Texas
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence law when dealing with liability after an accident. Multiple parties can share the fault for an accident, and there is potential to recover compensation even if you were partially to blame.
However, you will only be eligible to pursue damages if your level of liability is 50% or lower. Furthermore, the amount you can recover will be reduced in proportion to your level of fault.
For example, if you endured $100,000 worth of damages but were found to be 20% at fault, you would only be able to claim $80,000 or 80% of the losses you incurred.
What Crash in Dallas Data Tells You Before You File a Claim
Dallas made meaningful progress on road safety in 2025, but the numbers still reflect how serious the risk is for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists across the city.
Fatal accidents fell by nearly half in 2025. According to city data compiled through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System, Dallas recorded 107 accidents resulting in fatalities in 2025, down from 208 in 2024. That represents the lowest number of deadly crashes on Dallas roads since at least 2015, and marks the first time since 2019 that fewer than 200 accidents resulted in a death.
Serious injuries also dropped significantly. Across all accident types, 595 crashes resulted in serious injury in 2025, compared to 935 the year before. That is still nearly two serious injury crashes every day in a single city.
Speeding is the leading cause of fatal crashes in Dallas. Of the 108 fatal accidents recorded in 2025, 44 are attributed to speeding. Speed has been the top contributing factor in fatal crashes in nine of the last ten years. If another driver’s excessive speed caused your accident, that pattern is well-documented and legally significant.
Impairment was the second leading cause of fatal crashes. Impaired driving accounted for 23 fatal accidents in 2025. Dallas Police Department efforts including DWI enforcement resulted in 451 arrests over the course of the year. When a driver was impaired at the time of your crash, that conduct can support a stronger civil claim and may also open the door to punitive damages.
Around 7% of Dallas roads account for more than half of all severe crashes. The city’s own data identifies a concentrated set of high-risk corridors that generate a disproportionate share of serious accidents. If your crash happened on one of these roads, road design or maintenance failures by a government agency may be a relevant factor in your claim.
Late-night weekend hours are the most dangerous. City data consistently shows that the deadliest window for accidents is between midnight and 3 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings, when impaired and reckless driving peaks.
These numbers reflect real roads and real risks that Dallas drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists face every day. If you were hurt in one of these crashes, call us at (800) 863-5312 or our local Dallas line at (214) 390-3177 for a free consultation.

FAQs
Does it matter which part of Dallas or the surrounding area the accident happened in?
No matter where in Dallas or the surrounding metro area your injury occurred, your right to pursue a claim is the same. Our team is familiar with local courts, Dallas County procedures, and the specific jurisdictions across the region. The location of your accident does not limit your ability to seek compensation.
What if a government or city of Dallas vehicle caused my injury?
Claims against government entities follow different rules and stricter deadlines than standard personal injury claims. In Texas, you may be required to file a formal notice of claim before pursuing a lawsuit against a government body, and the deadline for doing so can be as short as six months. If a city of Dallas, Dallas County, or state vehicle was involved in your accident, contacting an attorney as soon as possible is critical to protecting your rights.
I don’t speak English as my first language. Can Zinda Law Group still help me?
Yes. Dallas is one of the most diverse cities in Texas, and we are committed to making sure language is never a barrier to getting legal help. We can arrange for Spanish-speaking support and work to make sure you fully understand every step of your case. You should never have to navigate something this important without being able to communicate clearly.
What if the at-fault driver was speeding or impaired?
Speeding is the leading cause of fatal crashes in Dallas, accounting for more than 40% of fatal accidents in 2025. Impairment was the second leading cause. When either of these factors contributed to your crash, the evidence trail is often stronger and the legal case for full compensation is more straightforward. Impaired driving in particular can also support a claim for punitive damages, which go beyond compensating your losses and are intended to hold reckless drivers accountable.
What if the accident involved a rideshare or delivery driver in Dallas?
Rideshare and delivery driver accidents can involve multiple insurance policies depending on whether the driver was actively on a trip, waiting for a request, or operating the vehicle for personal use. Dallas has a high volume of rideshare and delivery traffic, and these cases require a close look at which coverage applies and in what order. Companies like Uber and Lyft carry their own commercial policies that may provide significant coverage when their drivers are at fault. We analyze all available insurance and make sure your claim captures every applicable source of compensation.
What if multiple parties share fault for my accident?
Texas follows modified comparative negligence, which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, as long as you are found to be 50% or less responsible. When multiple parties share fault, identifying every liable party and accurately establishing fault percentages becomes critical. Insurance companies aggressively try to shift blame onto injured victims to reduce what they owe. We investigate thoroughly and present evidence that accurately reflects what happened.
Can I still file a claim if the accident happened on a private road or parking lot in Dallas?
Yes. Accidents on private roads, parking lots, and other private property are still eligible for personal injury claims. Liability in these situations can extend beyond the at-fault driver to include the property owner if a hazardous condition on their property contributed to the crash. We investigate the full circumstances of the accident regardless of where it occurred.
What if the crash happened in a construction zone on a Dallas highway?
Construction zone accidents can involve multiple liable parties beyond just the at-fault driver. Contractors, subcontractors, and government agencies overseeing the project may all bear some responsibility if poor lane markings, missing signage, inadequate barriers, or unsafe work zone conditions contributed to the crash. Dallas has significant ongoing highway construction, and these cases require prompt investigation since construction zones change quickly and evidence can disappear fast.
