What Damages Could You Be Entitled to in Your Dallas Personal Injury Claim?
We’re dedicated to helping injury victims like you find a sense of justice and accountability. We’re also committed to fighting to help you pursue the compensation you need after an accident turns your life upside down.
Every injury case is different, but what is constant is that you should be fully compensated for the harm you’ve suffered due to another party’s negligence. Common types of compensation our Dallas personal injury lawyers have helped clients recover include:
- Medical expenses, including reimbursement for past expenses and compensation for future expenses
- Lost wages, including lost benefits, commissions, bonuses, and lost earning capacity
- Out-of-pocket expenses for things like transportation to appointments or home modifications
- Pain and suffering to compensate you for the physical and emotional pain caused by your injuries
- Emotional distress, which accounts for the mental health impacts of your injuries
- Wrongful death benefits, which are available to dependents who have lost a loved one due to negligence
- Punitive damages, which can add significant value to your claim— are rare in personal injury cases but possibly available when there was gross negligence.
The types of compensation you can collect in your injury claim depend on the facts of your case, such as the seriousness of your injuries and whether you were partially at fault.
To calculate your personal injury settlement, we work to identify all possible damages and multiply them by a figure between 1.5 and 5, depending on the specific details of your case. We use that number as a strong starting point for settlement negotiations on your behalf.

How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Dallas?
- You have just six months to notify the government entity responsible for your injuries before you can file a lawsuit against the government.
- For accident victims under 18, the time limit to file a claim is two years from when the victim turns 18. However, medical malpractice victims under the age of 12 must file a claim by the time they turn 14.
- If the at-fault party leaves the state before you can file a lawsuit, the statute of limitations is paused until they return.
You Pay Nothing Unless We Win Your Case
At Shamieh Law, we believe the cost of quality representation should not hold you back from pursuing the compensation you need and deserve. We understand you may have lost your main source of income or vehicle after an accident and could also be facing substantial medical bills.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. In Texas, contingency fees are common agreements between the lawyer and the client in which the attorney does not collect a fee unless they win or settle the case.
The fee is typically calculated as a percentage of the compensation awarded. This arrangement allows clients with limited financial resources to access legal representation without paying out-of-pocket fees. So, you owe us nothing unless we win.

How Texas Negligence Laws Can Impact Your Dallas Injury Case
Most Dallas injury cases are based on the legal concept of negligence. In negligence cases, you need to show evidence to prove the at-fault party caused your damages by failing to take reasonable care to avoid harming others through their actions.
Our Dallas personal injury lawyers start your case with a thorough, independent investigation of your accident to gather as much evidence as possible. We collect physical evidence, interview witnesses, organize invoices and medical reports, and hire experts to support your claim. We have the resources to prove negligence in even the most challenging negligence claims and familiarity with insurance companies, which can often streamline the process for our clients.
When You’re Partially At Fault
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system when evaluating liability. This allows you to recover compensation as long as you are not found to be more than 50 percent responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced proportionately to your degree of fault.
Let’s say you were sideswiped by a driver who failed to yield the right-of-way. Your vehicle was totaled, and you suffered serious injuries. If your damages totaled $100,000 and you were found to be 20 percent responsible for the accident, your total settlement would be reduced by 20 percent to $80,000. Luckily, even if you’re partially at fault for your injury, you may still have a case.

Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury Cases
Our team of experienced injury attorneys in Dallas strives to resolve our client’s cases without going to trial. We usually achieve this goal through skillful out-of-court negotiations with at-fault parties and their insurers.
However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, your case may need to be argued in court. Whether we take your case to trial will ultimately depend on the strength of your claim, the other side’s willingness to negotiate, the monetary stakes involved, and your wishes. As your case unfolds, our team will advise you on the best course of action and work to achieve the most favorable outcome.
If your case goes to trial, the county where your injury lawsuit takes place can impact your case outcome. Different counties in Texas are known to favor the plaintiff, favor the defense, or take a neutral stance. It is important to consider how counties have historically handled cases when you are filing a personal injury lawsuit in Dallas. Our attorneys can help strategize the best approach.
The filing deadline, or statute of limitations, for a personal injury case is typically strict and cannot be extended. However, rare exceptions exist, such as if the injured party is a minor or if the injury wasn’t discovered immediately. It’s important to consult with an attorney to determine if any exceptions apply in your case.
To prove liability in a personal injury lawsuit, you must demonstrate that the other party was negligent. This involves showing that they had a duty of care, breached that duty, and that their breach caused your injury. Evidence like witness statements, medical records, photos, and expert testimony can help support your case.
Here’s a list of the evidence needed for a personal injury claim in Dallas, TX:
- Medical records and bills
- Photos of the accident scene and injuries
- Police or accident reports
- Witness statements
- Expert testimony (for example, medical, accident reconstruction)
- Proof of lost wages or income
- Surveillance footage, if available
- Any relevant communication, such as emails and texts
