Why Work With the Firm on an Addison Personal Injury Case?
Dallas County and DFW Representation
The firm reports more than 34 years of combined legal experience handling personal injury matters. Its attorney information describes the lawyers and services they provide. Experience does not predict the result of an individual case, so an attorney must evaluate the facts, injuries, evidence, and available insurance.
The firm also provides information about Fadi Alhaddad, one of its attorneys. The team states that clients may communicate directly with the attorney handling the matter rather than with only a case manager or assistant. The firm offers services in English, Spanish, and Arabic and states that it remains available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

How an Addison Personal Injury Lawyer Builds a Case
Investigating the Claim
Evidence may become harder to locate as time passes. Depending on the facts, the legal team may seek crash reports, photographs, witness information, video, vehicle evidence, and medical records. The Texas Department of Transportation crash-records resource explains how people can request certain crash information. Prompt evidence preservation may help an attorney evaluate liability and damages.
Medical records can help show the injury diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and effect on daily activities. You should give medical providers a complete history and follow reasonable treatment recommendations. The records should accurately distinguish pre-existing symptoms from new or worsened symptoms.
Communicating With Insurers
The firm may communicate with insurance adjusters and organize a demand package that documents medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and other claimed losses. Negotiations can involve liability disputes, coverage limits, medical liens, and questions about the extent of an injury. A lawyer may also explain what a demand letter does during settlement discussions.
If an insurer does not make an offer you wish to accept, the firm may discuss litigation and trial preparation. Filing a lawsuit involves deadlines, pleadings, discovery, and other requirements; the decision depends on the evidence and the client’s objectives.
Damages in a Texas Personal Injury Case
When the evidence and law support recovery, economic damages may include medical bills, hospital care, rehabilitation, lost income, and reduced earning capacity. Non-economic damages may include physical pain, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. This Texas settlement guide explains factors that can affect claim valuation; it does not predict the value of an individual case.
Texas applies modified comparative responsibility. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 33.001, a claimant generally cannot recover damages if the trier of fact assigns more than 50% responsibility to that claimant. When the claimant bears 50% or less responsibility, the award may decrease in proportion to the assigned responsibility.
Texas Filing Deadline for Personal Injury Claims
Texas generally gives an injured person two years to file many personal injury lawsuits. The official Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code includes section 16.003, which states the general limitations period for many injury claims. Exceptions and additional notice requirements may apply, including matters involving minors or governmental entities. Missing an applicable deadline may prevent a court from hearing the claim.
A person should not assume that sending an insurance demand extends the filing period. This Texas injury-deadline resource provides general information, but an attorney must assess the deadline that applies to the specific facts.
Frequently Asked Questions About Addison Personal Injury Claims
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Addison?
The firm works on a contingency-fee basis for qualifying matters. You pay no upfront attorney’s fees, and the firm receives attorney’s fees only if it recovers compensation. The written fee agreement controls the arrangement.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
Many Texas personal injury lawsuits have a two-year limitations period, but exceptions may change the deadline. Speak with an attorney promptly rather than relying on a general rule. The Texas Department of Insurance consumer page provides general insurance information, although that resource does not replace legal advice.
What should I do after a car accident in Addison?
Seek medical care for injuries, report the collision when appropriate, exchange information, and photograph the scene and vehicle damage if you can do so safely. This post-crash guide offers a general checklist. Avoid giving a recorded statement or signing a release before you understand the potential effect on your claim.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
No lawyer can promise a result based only on a short description. The potential value may depend on medical evidence, lost income, injury severity, liability, insurance coverage, and other facts. The firm offers a free consultation to discuss available options.
