Accidents and injuries can happen when you least expect them, leaving you with physical pain, emotional distress, and financial burdens. Whether you’ve been hurt in a car crash, slipped on a wet floor, or suffered harm due to medical negligence, knowing your legal rights is crucial to securing the compensation you deserve.

At DFW Injury Lawyers, our dedicated team specializes in personal injury law, fighting tirelessly to protect the rights of injured victims across Dallas-Fort Worth. With years of experience and a deep understanding of Texas injury laws, we handle a wide range of cases to help clients recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

In this article, we’ll explore the different types of cases our firm handles so you can better understand how we can assist you or a loved one in seeking justice.

A Law Firm Built for Justice

Founded by attorneys Pedro “Peter” De La Cerda and Kevin L. Edwards, DFW Injury Lawyers was established with a singular mission: to be the unwavering legal muscle injured victims need to win against powerful corporations and insurance companies. Both founders bring unique perspectives to the table. De La Cerda began his career defending hospitals, trucking companies, and manufacturers before switching sides to fight for victims; while Edwards has spent over 15 years exclusively representing injured plaintiffs in high-stakes personal injury and mass tort cases.

This insider knowledge gives the firm a strategic edge, allowing them to anticipate defense tactics and build aggressive, trial-ready cases. Unlike firms that push for quick settlements, DFW Injury Lawyers prepares every case as if it’s going to trial, ensuring maximum leverage in negotiations. Their track record speaks for itself, with multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements, including a staggering 73.4 million product liability win and a 1.2 million trucking accident recovery.

With offices in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland, Lancaster, and Oak Cliff, the firm is strategically positioned to serve clients across North Texas. Their main office, located at 1341 W. Mockingbird Ln. in Dallas, is easily accessible from major highways, ensuring convenience for clients recovering from injuries.

Types of Cases We Handle

Under Texas law (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003), most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date. The team at DFW Injury Lawyers is well-versed in these deadlines and handles a broad spectrum of injury cases, including:

1. Car, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents

Texas leads the nation in fatal auto accidents, with 4,481 deaths in 2022 alone (NHTSA). Our attorneys investigate crashes thoroughly, holding negligent drivers, trucking companies (under FMCSA regulations), and even auto manufacturers accountable for defective parts.

2. Premises Liability (Slip & Fall, Inadequate Security)

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions (Texas Property Code § 75.002). We’ve secured compensation for clients injured by wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, and even violent crimes due to negligent security.

3. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) & Catastrophic Injuries

TBIs often require lifelong care. We work with medical experts to prove long-term damages, ensuring clients receive compensation for future treatments, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.

4. Wrongful Death

When negligence claims a life, families may seek damages under Texas’ wrongful death statute (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.004). We handle these sensitive cases with compassion, fighting for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional distress.

5. Product Liability & Mass Torts

From defective medical devices to dangerous pharmaceuticals, we hold manufacturers liable under strict liability laws, securing record-breaking verdicts like our $33.6 million product liability victory.

6. Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

Texas’ “vulnerable road user” laws (Transportation Code § 551.101) protect pedestrians and cyclists. We’ve recovered millions for clients hit by distracted or reckless drivers.
