A Dallas personal injury firm built for trial.

Dallas has one of the highest traffic fatality rates of any major US city — about 4.5 deaths per 100,000 residents — with more than 200 traffic deaths in 2024 and tens of thousands of crashes each year. Pedestrian deaths make up roughly a third of the toll, with 73 pedestrians killed in a recent year. The city’s dense freeway network and high-speed interchanges make serious collisions a daily reality.

Silver Key Law represents injured people throughout the area, and we prepare every case as if a jury will decide it. We are licensed in Texas and serve clients in the area by phone, video, and appointment. You pay no attorney's fee and no case costs unless we win.

Dangerous roads in the area

Many of the most serious Dallas-area crashes happen on a handful of high-speed, high-volume corridors:

Interstate 35E (Stemmons Freeway) — a major north-south freight and commuter route.
Interstate 30 and Interstate 20 — high-volume east-west corridors.
US-75 (Central Expressway) and the LBJ Freeway (I-635) — among the busiest in the region.
The Dallas High Five and other complex interchanges where merging crashes are common.
Surface arterials like Ross Avenue and Lemmon Avenue, where pedestrian crashes cluster.

How we help injured people here

We investigate quickly, preserve the evidence, document your injuries and losses, and handle the insurance companies so you can focus on healing. We take the full range of serious injury cases:

Where injury cases here are filed

Most personal injury lawsuits here are filed in the Dallas County District Courts in downtown Dallas, or in surrounding counties such as Collin, Denton, and Tarrant depending on where the collision occurred. Certain cases, including some trucking matters, may be heard in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. We handle the procedural details for you.

Texas injury law in brief

Texas law shapes every injury case here. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule: an injured person can recover only if they are 50% or less at fault, with recovery reduced by their share of responsibility. The general statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury, and claims against government entities carry much shorter notice deadlines. Texas also follows the "paid or incurred" rule for medical expenses. Because these deadlines are strict and evidence disappears quickly, contact a lawyer promptly. This is general information, not legal advice about your specific situation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Dallas personal injury lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We handle injury cases here on a contingency fee — no attorney's fee unless we obtain a recovery, and no case costs or expenses if there is no recovery. The consultation is free.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Dallas?

In Texas, the general deadline is two years from the date of injury, and shorter for claims against a government entity. Because the exact deadline depends on the facts, contact a lawyer promptly.

Do I have to come to an office in Dallas?

No. We are licensed in Texas and serve clients in the area by phone, video conference, and appointment. We work in whatever format is easiest for you.

What if I was partly at fault for a local crash?

You may still recover. Texas allows an injured person who is 50% or less at fault to recover, with the award reduced by their share. The insurer has every reason to overstate your fault, which is a key reason to have a lawyer building your case.
