A serious crash in Dallas often happens in the same place every time: where the freeways stack on top of each other. If you were hurt in a wreck on I-35E, I-30, I-20, US-75, or at the High Five interchange, the León Law Firm can walk you through what happens next — on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you owe no attorney’s fee and no case expenses unless we recover money for you.

The High Five Interchange

The High Five interchange, where I-635 meets US-75, is one of the most complex pieces of road in North Texas. Its five stacked levels carry up to 500,000 vehicles a day, and the interchange’s tight merges and elevated ramps make it a documented source of multi-vehicle collisions — the adjacent I-635/Skillman St. intersection alone has logged more crashes over a five-year span than any other intersection in Dallas. Untangling who’s at fault when three or four vehicles are involved on a stacked interchange like this is a large part of what we do for Dallas clients.

Dallas’s Freeway Grid

Beyond the High Five, Dallas’s grid itself is demanding. I-35E (Stemmons Freeway), I-30 (Tom Landry Freeway), I-20 (Ronald Reagan Freeway), and US-75 (Central Expressway) converge through downtown, with the President George Bush Turnpike routing traffic around the metro’s edges. That density of interstate mileage running through a single urban core is a big part of why Dallas sees the volume of serious wrecks it does.

Where Serious Dallas Crashes Are Treated

When a Dallas crash is serious, patients are commonly taken to Parkland Health. Parkland Memorial Hospital was the first hospital in the state of Texas verified as a Level I trauma center, and it still operates the Rees-Jones Trauma Center and the region’s only comprehensive burn program. If your case involved treatment at Parkland or one of the other Level I facilities serving North Texas, that hospital record is often central to documenting the severity of your injuries.

Dallas as a Freight and Logistics Hub

Dallas’s exposure looks different from a coastal city’s. Rather than port or refinery traffic, Dallas sits at the crossing point of several major interstate freight routes, and that means our commercial-vehicle cases here more often involve long-haul trucking and distribution-fleet vehicles moving through the same interchanges commuters use every day — not marine or industrial-site incidents.

Filing a Claim in Dallas County

Where your case gets filed matters, too. Civil personal injury lawsuits in Dallas County are heard in the Dallas County District Courts, seated at the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building on Commerce Street downtown. We build every Dallas case with that venue and its procedures in mind from the first phone call.

Common Personal Injury Attorney Questions in Dallas, TX

How Our Team Helps You

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Texas?

Generally two years from the date of the accident, under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003. Trucking companies and their insurers often start their own investigation quickly, so it's worth having a claim reviewed well before that deadline.

What does the León Law Firm charge to take a Dallas truck accident case?

We take Dallas truck accident cases on a contingency-fee basis — no attorney's fee and no case expenses unless we recover money for you.

How is a truck accident claim different from an ordinary car accident?

A commercial truck crash can involve more potential parties than an ordinary car accident — the driver, the trucking company, sometimes a cargo owner or maintenance contractor — and can raise additional issues like federal hours-of-service rules or maintenance records. Whether any of that applies depends on the specific facts of the crash.

If I was partly at fault for the crash, can I still recover damages?

Yes, under Texas's modified comparative fault rule, as long as you're found 50% or less at fault — recovery is reduced by your share; at 51% or more, Texas law bars recovery.

Is the consultation for a Dallas truck accident claim really free?

Yes — a consultation is free, with no obligation, in English or Spanish.

Your Local Questions

What should I do right after being hit by a commercial truck or 18-wheeler in Dallas?

Get medical attention first. If you can safely do so, note the truck's USDOT number, get the driver's and trucking company's information, and get a police report number. Some truck-accident evidence, like electronic logging device data, can be time-sensitive to preserve.

Which court hears a Dallas truck accident case?

Civil personal injury lawsuits arising from a Dallas truck accident are heard in the Dallas County District Courts.

Why does the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building matter to my case?

The Dallas County District Courts are seated at the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building at 600 Commerce Street downtown — the venue whose procedures apply to a Dallas County truck case from the outset.

If I'm hurt in a truck wreck at the High Five or on I-35E/I-30/I-20, where would I likely be treated?

For the most serious injuries, patients from this area are commonly taken to Parkland Health, though the region has four Level I trauma centers in Dallas and one in Fort Worth, and EMS routing depends on the specifics of the crash.

What makes Parkland notable for a serious truck-crash injury?

Parkland was the first hospital in Texas verified as a Level I trauma center and operates the Rees-Jones Trauma Center, one of the largest civilian trauma programs in North Texas — relevant given how severe a commercial-truck collision's injuries can be.
