Anderson Law Firm Practice Areas

Car Accidents

Major auto accidents happen every day here on the busy roads and highways in the Fort Worth/Dallas/Arlington Metroplex. These accidents can cause considerable bodily injury to the innocent driver or their passengers, including neck and back injuries, spine and disc problems, broken bones, scarring and disfigurement, brain injury, shoulder and knee injuries and even wrongful death. The injured party has a legal right to fair compensation for their injuries and pain and suffering.

Truck and Bus Accidents

The local roads are dominated by large trucks, whose driver's sometimes seem blind to the everyday passenger vehicle going to and from work and school. Oftentimes, these truck drivers are driving fatigued, as they have exceeded the federally mandated restrictions on hours allowed to drive per day. Or maybe their trucks are not well maintained and should not even be on the road. Accidents involving these big rigs are devastating. If the innocent occupants of the passenger vehicle are lucky enough to survive, the injuries are usually very serious and long lasting.

Motorcycle Accidents

Mark Anderson is a board certified personal injury lawyer who has been helping injured motorcyclists and their families across the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 1991. Whenever a bike rider is involved in a traffic accident, the injuries are usually extremely serious. It's important that you seek legal assistance in order to make sure you receive fair compensation from the insurance company to pay for your medical treatment necessitated by the injuries sustained in the motorcycle collision.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

In total, an estimated 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries occur throughout the USA every single year. If a member of your family is diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury as a result of a preventable accident, the strain it can put on your family – both psychologically and financially can be enormous. It’s important that you realize that you are not alone. The Fort Worth brain injury lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm are here to help you. We will fight to make sure you receive the maximum compensation possible for your injuries, and we will shoulder the weight of the legal process – leaving you and your family free to focus on the vital task of rebuilding your life and your future.

Drunk Driving Accidents

If you are injured in a drunk driving accident, you have rights to pursue a claim against the drunk driver and any possible insurance that might be available. Unfortunately, over 1,500 Texans are killed in wrecks caused by intoxicated or impaired drivers. That is about three avoidable deaths a day. If a drunk driver has ruined your life, you should consider a possible legal claim to help recovery monetary consideration for you loss.

FELA Railroad Claims

The Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) covers all railroad employees who have suffered an injury while at work, where their employer is engaged in interstate commerce, and where the railroad company's negligence was to some degree responsible for the accident or incident which resulted in the employee's injuries. Under Federal law, an injured railroad worker can expect to recover monetary damages related to all past, present and probable future harm attributable to their injuries sustained at work. This includes all accident-related medical care (ER visit, surgery, physical therapy, rehabilitation, etc.), any lost wages already incurred as well as any future lost earning capacity, compensation for the physical pain and mental anguish you have experienced, impairment, disfigurement, etc.

Distracted Driving

Drivers who use their cell phones while driving put other people's lives at risk. It is extremely dangerous to text while driving and doing so greatly increases the chance that a car accident will occur. Other forms of distracted driving include sending or reading emails, talking on the phone and using the internet while driving. Anything that takes a driver's eyes off the road is dangerous and can easliy cause accidents. If you have been injured as a result of someone else's distracted driving, you have a right to recover compnesation for you medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents

When the driver of a car or truck loses control of their vehicle in an auto accident, the results can be disastrous, particularly for innocent pedestrians or bicyclists who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is important that you consult with a board certified personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Mark Anderson of the Anderson Law Firm has been helping injured pedestrians and cyclists across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex since 1991.

Injuries to Children

Tragically, young kids get hurt in accidents just like adults. They are sometimes the innocent victims of car wrecks, defective products, dangerous conditions, dog attacks and other preventable incidents. A child cannot hire a lawyer to bring a claim themselves, but it is the duty of their parent or guardian to bring an injury claim on the child's behalf so fair compensation can be paid and held in trust for the child's benefit.

Dog Attacks

Dogs are widely considered to be man's best friend, if a vicious dog's owner is negligent, the result is often that the animal will attack an innocent victim causing serious personal injuries ranging from biting to mauling. In the worst cases, dog attacks can be fatal. As a dog owner myself, I think it's important that other owners take responsibility for their animals and I will fight to make sure my clients are paid the full and fair compensation they deserve.

Uninsured Motorist Claims (UM/UIM)

Almost a quarter of the drivers on Texas roads do not have liability insurance, even though it is required by the state. And the ones who do have insurance are likely to have the state minimum of only $25,000. For serious injuries from car, truck or motorcycle accidents, there is a strong chance that there will not be adequate insurance to fully and fairly compensate you for your accident related injuries. If you have underinsured or uninsured motorists coverage, this allows you to make a claim as if the at fault driver was indeed adequately insured.
