Recovering physically is hard enough. We handle the rest.
When someone else's negligence causes a serious injury, Tank Law investigates what happened, documents the damages, and deals directly with the insurance company — so you can focus on getting better.
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim seeks compensation when someone else's negligence — a distracted driver, a careless property owner, an unsafe truck operator — causes you harm. In Texas, that generally means showing the other party owed a duty of care, breached it, and caused your injury and damages as a result.
Not Just Medical Bills
A claim can account for medical treatment, lost income, property damage, and the broader impact of the injury on your life — not just the initial bills.
Personal injury matters across Dallas–Fort Worth
Car Accidents
From rear-end collisions to multi-vehicle crashes, we handle the claim from the police report through resolution.
Commercial Truck Accidents
Truck cases often involve multiple parties, federal regulations, and evidence that needs to be preserved quickly.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft accidents raise unique insurance coverage questions depending on the driver's status at the time.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian injuries are often severe, and liability can involve the driver, the roadway design, or both.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders often face unfair bias from insurers — we work to counter that from the start.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions; when they don't, injuries can result.
Wrongful Death
We help families pursue accountability and compensation after losing a loved one to another's negligence.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters represent the insurer's interests, not yours. We communicate with the adjuster directly, so you're not pressured into an early or low settlement offer.
Medical Treatment & Documentation
Consistent medical treatment and clear documentation both support your recovery and strengthen the claim. We help make sure nothing important goes undocumented.
How damages are calculated
Texas allows recovery for economic damages — like medical bills and lost wages — as well as non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. The value of a claim depends heavily on the specific facts, the severity of the injury, and the available insurance coverage.
Texas statute of limitations
Personal injury claims in Texas are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations, running from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can permanently bar a claim, so it's worth confirming your specific timeline early.
What happens if the insurance company denies the claim?
A denial isn't necessarily the end of a claim. It often means the next step is a formal demand, negotiation from a stronger position, or — when necessary — filing suit.
Filing Suit
When a fair resolution isn't reached through negotiation, we prepare the case for litigation and, if needed, trial.
Personal injury — frequently asked questions
Seek medical attention, document the scene if you're able, exchange information, and avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Generally, it's best to speak with an attorney first. Recorded statements can be used to minimize your claim, even when you're simply describing what happened.
Generally two years from the date of injury, though certain circumstances can affect this deadline. It's worth confirming your specific timeline promptly.
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which can still allow for recovery depending on the percentage of fault assigned to each party.
Personal injury cases are typically handled on a contingency basis, meaning there's generally no upfront fee — ask us for the specific terms that would apply to your case.
