Texas gives you two years to sue and six months to tell a city you were hurt, and the second deadline is the one nobody hears about. Compare Dallas firms on what they publish and on what we could verify ourselves.
Anderson Injury Lawyers says it was founded in 2007 and serves Dallas and the wider metroplex, with verified offices in Dallas, two in Fort Worth and one in Austin. Its own structured data leads with Dallas.
Angel Reyes & Associates works from two Dallas offices, names 44 people and publishes in Spanish throughout. Contingency fees, a free consultation and a 24 hour line.
Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers says it was founded in 2012 and is led by Jeff Benton, with verified offices in Dallas, Fort Worth, Brownsville and Seattle.
DFW Injury Lawyers holds six verified offices, three in Dallas and one each in Fort Worth, Arlington and Lancaster, which is the widest local footprint in this ranking, and names its two founders, Pedro de la Cerda and Kevin Edwards.
LAWBOSS, the Uvalle Law Firm, works from Dallas, Houston and San Antonio and names seven attorneys. Its Google listings carry 4,955 reviews between them, the largest count of any firm in this ranking and one of the largest in the directory.
The limitation period is two years from the day the claim accrues, under section 16.003 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and that is a year shorter than New York gives. The deadline that catches people is the other one. A claim against a governmental unit needs notice within six months under section 101.101 of the Tort Claims Act, and the City of Dallas requires the same six months in writing under its own charter, saying when, where and how the injury happened. A bus, a city truck, a pothole or a county hospital all sit behind that rule.
Dallas County runs one of the largest civil court systems in the country, with multiple district courts hearing injury cases and county courts at law below them, all at the George Allen Courts Building downtown. Federal matters go to the Northern District of Texas. This is also the most advertised legal market in this directory by a distance, which is worth knowing when you compare: the firm with the most billboards is not a measurement of anything, and it is the reason this site exists.
Injury work is done on contingency and Texas does not cap the share by statute the way New York does for injury matters, so the percentage is genuinely negotiable and genuinely varies. That makes the two questions on our fees guide worth more here than anywhere else we cover: what the percentage is, and whether case expenses come out before or after the fee is worked out. Ask both, and get the answer in the agreement rather than on the phone.
We list firms whether they ask us to or not, and everything on a profile is read from the outside: the firm's own site, its Google listings, its state's attorney register. That means we get things wrong, and the person who can see it is the firm. Claiming your profile is free, and so is every correction. The annual listing adds a dofollow link to your site, your own logo on your profile and the client reviews you want quoted. Neither moves a single point of the score.
