A Dallas Catastrophic Injury Attorney will represent you in your pursuit of long-term damages resulting from a serious accident. The long-lasting effects of a severe injury include; potential future medical costs, loss of ability to earn wages due to your injuries and the loss of independence. In addition to these types of expenses, you may be entitled to required rehabilitation, required assistive devices, costs associated with modifying your home, and pain and suffering if your injuries were caused by another person’s negligence.
Jay Murray Law will determine which parties are liable for your injuries and provide assistance in documenting through medical and financial experts how your injuries have affected your future. Regardless of whether your injuries resulted in paralysis, the loss of a limb, a traumatic head injury, or second- and third-degree burns, we will develop a case specifically designed to meet your needs, negotiate with your insurance company, and take your case to trial as needed.
For over thirty years, we have represented families affected by catastrophic injuries throughout Dallas. Whether they reside in Deep Ellum, Highland Park, Oak Cliff, or Lakewood, we are familiar with each neighborhood because we also call this area home. We have testified via deposition at Parkland Hospital; we have reviewed records at Baylor University Medical Center; we have litigated against insurance companies in each county courthouse in Dallas.
The correct catastrophic injury lawyer in Dallas will need to be well-versed in two areas: the medical aspect and the legal aspect. If a person has suffered a traumatic head injury; if a person has lost a limb; if a person has become paralyzed, those are permanent injuries. Therefore, there is a calculation needed to determine the total amount of money which will be paid out for the lifetime loss of income; future medical costs; and chronic pain.
Every catastrophic injury case receives full-time representation from us beginning Day One.

Spinal Cord Injuries can be one of the worst types of injuries that occur from an accident. One minute you are driving through the Galleria area and the next you have been paralyzed. Whether this is due to a construction accident at the Arts District or being involved in a vehicle collision on the Dallas North Tollway, there should be an immediate response when a spinal cord injury occurs.
Once a spinal cord injury has occurred, Insurance Companies may attempt to make a quick settlement. The Insurance Company may provide you with a payment amount prior to determining all aspects of the permanent damage resulting from your injury. Do not take their initial offer.
Here at Jay Murray Accident Law, we work with top spinal injury specialists in Dallas to document each detail regarding your spinal cord injury. This documentation includes anticipated future surgeries, adaptive equipment, modifications to your residence, and around the clock care. Your final settlement should include compensation for all of the things you actually need and not just what the Insurance Company wishes to pay.
Most people can’t see the impact of a brain injury, but it’s very real and changing for those suffering. After sustaining a traumatic brain injury, you may appear fine outwardly; however, inside you will be struggling with memories, emotional control, and even some of the simplest everyday tasks. We have served clients all across Dallas County including Victory Park and Lake Highlands, who were injured by a traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of an auto accident, slip/trip fall or work-related incident.
One of the challenges to a brain injury case is proving damages. Adjusters for insurance companies often dispute claims made regarding the extent of injury sustained from a brain injury claiming you are fabricating/overstating the symptoms. Therefore, we hire Neuropsychologists, Life Care Planners and Vocational Experts. Our professionals provide evidence of how your brain injury directly impacts each and every day of your life in front of a jury.
Your Traumatic Brain Injury lawyer in Dallas should understand there is a significant difference between what would be considered a mild concussion versus a severe TBI requiring lifetime care. We understand this and have experience representing both types of cases, as well as understanding how to demonstrate the level of severity of your condition.
 The loss of a body part will change who you are. We have worked with individuals that have had an arm amputated due to an accident at work close to the Medical District and legs amputated from a motorcycle crash on Highway 75. While there is physical pain, there is also mental anguish.
When filing a claim for amputation injuries, we must provide evidence of both economic and non-economic damages. Depending on whether the claim is an ordinary negligence action, a third-party claim, or a workers’ compensation matter, different categories of compensation may be available.
You need money to pay for your prosthetic device(s), physical therapy, lost wages, etc. However, you also need compensation for the life you may never experience again. The job you can no longer perform; the things you cannot do with your children.
If you present all aspects of your case to a Dallas jury they will understand. This includes providing testimony from your medical professionals, employer, and family members as well as pictures or videos of yourself prior to and after your injury.

We have been able to help those who have suffered from burn injuries due to an accident occurring at a Dallas construction site; a fire that occurred in their Uptown apartment; or due to a chemical exposure while working at some type of industrial location. Severe burn injuries can require extensive and costly medical treatment, including surgeries, rehabilitation, skin grafts; multiple managing the pain, psychological therapy and long-term care.
To hire a burn injury attorney in Dallas, we need to know where all of the top burn specialists are located in the area so that we may demonstrate the extent of the treatment you will need. This medical support is not limited to one year, it’s for the remainder of your life.
The insurance company may deny that they are responsible for covering your loss (liability), or challenge the actual cost/value of what you will incur as a direct result of your burn injury; the extent to which you can collect on your losses will depend upon the quality and quantity of the evidence supporting your claims, how much applicable law supports your claims, and the nature and extent of the damages that you have incurred.
The insurance company may also attempt to tell the court that you are requesting too much money. However, once we provide evidence demonstrating how expensive the medical treatment you will require over your lifetime is (in addition to presenting evidence regarding the pain you are experiencing); and the effect on your daily living activities, juries generally recognize the reality.
Catastrophic injury resulting in death leaves families with both emotional pain and financial hardship. We have represented families throughout Dallas as a result of fatal accidents involving trucks, construction sites and medical malpractice. The right wrongful death attorney in Dallas will treat your family with dignity and fight hard for you to achieve justice.
In general, wrongful death in Texas is available to a spouse, children, and/or parents of the deceased party, and the amount of recoverable damages will vary based upon the evidence presented as well as any statute limiting recovery.
 We manage this process so that you can concentrate on taking care of your family. We will investigate your case, collect evidence, work directly with insurance companies to try to resolve your claim fairly and when necessary, take your claim to court.
You deserve better than what happened to your loved one; the party(s) responsible need to be held accountable; and most importantly, your family needs to have some sense of financial security after suffering through such a devastating loss.
Most attorneys tout their experience. We prove our experience by showing you results. In representing Dallas area families who have suffered catastrophic injuries, we have recovered millions of dollars. However, recovery of monies is just one aspect of achieving successful outcomes for clients.
We Answer Our Phones: When you call us to ask a question concerning your medical bills or to confirm your next doctor’s appointment, you speak with a live person who is familiar with your case. NOT a voice mail system. NOT a paralegal who will need to contact another attorney before providing an answer.
We Pay All Up Front Costs: Litigating catastrophic injury cases is costly. Thousands of dollars are spent on expert witness fees and reviewing medical records. We pay for all these expenses upfront. If we do not succeed in recovering money for you, then you do not owe us anything.
We Prepare Every Case for Trial: Insurance companies know which attorneys will go to trial and those attorneys that never do. We have tried numerous cases in the Dallas County Courts. This history of going to trial provides additional leverage when negotiating settlements.
Ordinary Texas personal injury lawsuits typically have a 2 year statute of limitations; however, the time frame for commencement (accrual) and compliance with statutes of limitation may vary depending upon the nature of the claim. Government claims, workers compensation claims, medical malpractice claims and others may also have different timelines for providing written notice prior to filing an action.
While it may seem like plenty of time, the preparation of a catastrophic injury case typically takes several months. The best way to assess for long-term damage in an injury situation may involve a doctor’s (stable) medical prognosis. However, a potential lawsuit or claim against another party can likely be evaluated and/or prepared for prior to reaching Maximum Medical Improvement (“MMI”). At MMI, we can determine the full scope of all of your injuries. However, we want to make sure to conduct our investigation before all of the potential evidence has been destroyed or otherwise compromised.

When people consider catastrophic injuries, they typically think about medical expenses and loss of employment. However, catastrophic injuries result in so much more. Instead of being your life-long caregiver and partner, your spouse has become an unpaid caregiver. Your children have lost a coach for their sports teams and/or a person to assist them with their schoolwork. As a victim of a catastrophic injury, you have also lost your ability to live independently; your professional career; your ability to make future plans.
For many years we have assisted families throughout the Dallas area in coping with the emotional impact and financial burden associated with catastrophic injuries. While receiving a fair and equitable settlement will never restore what you’ve experienced, it will help to provide financial stability. It will allow you to receive medical treatment necessary to improve your quality of life. It will replace the income you were earning prior to your injury. And most importantly, it will give your family time to cope with the loss of your previous way of life.
If you or a loved one has sustained a catastrophic injury in Dallas, contact us today. Our initial consultation is complimentary. We will discuss your case with you; address any concerns you may have; and advise you regarding the available legal options for pursuing compensation. There is no obligation to retain our services. Simply seeking honest advice from a catastrophic injury lawyer in Dallas with over 30 years experience representing clients like yourself.
Evidence that supports your claim can disappear; witnesses may forget specific details of what occurred; insurance carriers will begin to develop their defenses immediately after learning about your claim. Therefore, it’s smart to act quickly in developing your own defense.
