Common Causes of Car Accidents in Dallas

Every day, preventable car accidents occur on Dallas roads — often because of another driver’s careless actions. Identifying the cause of your accident is critical for proving negligence and getting the compensation you deserve.

Some of the most frequent causes of accidents in cases we handle include:

Distracted Driving: Whether it’s texting, using a GPS, adjusting the radio, or eating, distracted drivers take their eyes and focus off the road. Even a few seconds of inattention can cause devastating collisions, making them liable for your injuries.
Speeding & Aggressive Driving: Speed limits exist for a reason. Excessive speeding, weaving through traffic, or tailgating — especially on Dallas highways like I-35 or the Central Expressway — reduces a driver’s ability to react in time, increasing the risk of serious crashes.
Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, reflexes, and motor skills. Drunk or drugged driving accidents are entirely preventable, and those responsible can — and should — be held accountable.
Failure to Yield & Running Red Lights: Many intersection accidents in Dallas happen when drivers ignore traffic signals or fail to yield the right of way, leading to dangerous T-bone or side-impact collisions.
Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, or icy roads can make driving more hazardous. However, drivers are still responsible for adjusting their speed and behavior based on road conditions.
Drowsy Driving: Fatigued drivers pose similar risks as intoxicated drivers. Falling asleep at the wheel or nodding off for even a moment can result in catastrophic crashes.

Understanding how your accident happened allows our team to build a strong case, collect key evidence, and fight to hold the negligent driver responsible.

Types of Injuries Resulting from Dallas Car Accidents

A collision can leave you with anything from temporary discomfort to life-altering trauma. At Clark Law Group, we’ve seen how devastating these injuries can be — not just physically, but financially and emotionally.

Here are the most common injuries we handle:

Whiplash & Soft Tissue Injuries: Neck, back, and muscle strains are frequent in rear-end collisions. While often considered “minor,” these injuries can cause lingering pain and require months of physical therapy.
Broken Bones & Fractures: High-impact crashes frequently result in fractures to the arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis. These injuries often require surgery, casting, and a lengthy recovery period — sometimes leaving victims unable to work for weeks or months.
Spinal Cord Injuries & Paralysis: Damage to the spinal cord can cause partial or total paralysis, significantly impacting mobility and independence. Victims may require lifelong medical care and assistive devices.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Concussions and severe brain trauma can lead to cognitive impairment, memory loss, or permanent disability.
Internal Organ Damage: The force of a crash can rupture organs like the liver, spleen, or lungs — injuries that require immediate emergency surgery and could be fatal if untreated.
Wrongful Death Claims: Tragically, some crashes result in the loss of a loved one. Our attorneys can help families pursue wrongful death claims to cover funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.

No matter the severity of your injuries, we are committed to fighting for the medical care, lost wages, and full compensation you need to move forward.

Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How these cases will be handled will depend on a number of circumstances, such as whose fault the accident was. If a third party was at fault, you and the friend or family member who was driving your car may both have a claim against the at-fault driver. If the person you let drive your car was at fault, your insurance may be liable for the injuries or damages suffered by others.

Generally, in Texas, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver or other liable parties. However, the statute of limitations may be longer or shorter in some cases. For example, if you were a minor when the car accident happened, and no adult filed a lawsuit on your behalf, the two-year period begins when you turn 18 years old.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

It depends. In fairly simple cases involving clear fault and relatively minor injuries, you may be able to receive a settlement in as little as two months. However, more complex cases can take several years. Your case is likely to take longer if there is a genuine dispute regarding who was at fault or if your injuries were catastrophic in nature.

The value of your claim depends on factors like medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and insurance policy limits. Our attorneys can evaluate your case and fight for maximum compensation.

Most of the time, a personal injury attorney will not require any up-front payments, and they will receive a percentage of the damages recovered if a claim is successful. At Clark Law Group, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis, and you will not be required to pay us anything unless we collect compensation on your behalf through a settlement or verdict.

You may need the investigative skill of an attorney to do this. If you are being accused of causing a car accident, and you believe you were not at fault, it is important to act quickly. An attorney will want to go to the scene of the accident as soon as possible to preserve any physical evidence suggesting that you were not responsible. Statements from witnesses can also go a long way. Finally, your attorney will likely seek out footage from any cameras that may have been in the area.
