North Fort Worth is home to one of the largest freight operations in the country. The Alliance Logistics District at AllianceTexas is built around BNSF Railway’s Alliance intermodal facility — described as North America’s largest inland rail port — and it’s one of only two hubs in Texas that ties together air, ground, and rail freight in one place. That concentration of commercial trucking moving freight to and from rail brings a specific kind of heavy-vehicle traffic to Fort Worth’s roads that you won’t find in quite the same form in Dallas. If you were hurt in a crash tied to that freight corridor, or anywhere on I-35W, I-20, or I-30, the León Law Firm handles the claim on a contingency-fee basis — you owe no attorney’s fee and no case expenses unless we recover money for you.
Fort Worth’s core grid runs on I-35W, I-20, and I-30, feeding traffic into and around downtown and connecting to the Alliance district to the north and the Chisholm Trail Parkway to the southwest. That’s a different pattern from Dallas’s stacked-interchange congestion — Fort Worth’s serious commercial-vehicle wrecks more often trace back to freight moving in and out of a dedicated logistics district than to a single dangerous interchange downtown.
When a Fort Worth crash is serious, the city actually has two Level I trauma centers. John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital was the city’s first, designated in 2009 and re-verified since; Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth became the second in 2023. If your case involved treatment at either facility, that record is often central to documenting how serious your injuries were.
Civil claims here are filed in Tarrant County, at the Tarrant County District Courts inside the Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building. We prepare every Fort Worth case with that venue’s procedures in mind from the first call.

Common Personal Injury Attorney Questions in Fort Worth, TX
How Our Team Helps You
What's the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
Generally two years from the date of the injury, under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003. Certain circumstances — a minor plaintiff, or a claim against a government entity — can change that timeline, so treat the two-year rule as a general guideline, not a substitute for having your specific dates checked.
Do I pay anything if the León Law Firm doesn't win my case?
No. We work on a contingency-fee basis — no attorney's fee, no case expenses, unless we recover money for you. The consultation to find out where your case stands is free.
What are the first practical steps after a wreck?
Seek medical care if you need it, make sure a police report gets filed, photograph the scene and vehicles if you're able, and exchange insurance information. Try to avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurer, including your own, before you've talked to someone about your options.
Can I recover damages if I was partly responsible for the crash?
Texas follows a modified comparative-fault system: if you're found 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by that percentage, but you can still collect. At 51% or more fault, Texas law bars recovery. Where a particular crash lands depends on the facts, so this isn't something to self-assess before a proper review.
How long will my case take to resolve?
It varies with how long your treatment lasts, how the insurance company responds, and whether the case can settle or needs to go to litigation. We don't promise a timeline up front because no honest answer could — but we do keep clients updated as the case moves.
Your Local Questions
Why does the Alliance Logistics District matter for a crash claim?
The Alliance Logistics District at AllianceTexas is built around BNSF Railway's Alliance intermodal facility, described as North America's largest inland rail port, and it draws a heavy concentration of commercial trucking moving freight in and out by rail. A crash tied to that traffic often involves a commercial carrier as a defendant, which adds investigation steps — driver logs, company safety records, maintenance history — that a typical two-vehicle wreck doesn't.
Does it matter which trauma center treated me in Fort Worth?
Fort Worth has two Level I trauma centers — John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital, designated in 2009, and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, designated in 2023. Either facility's records can be central to documenting the severity of an injury; which one treated you typically comes down to where the crash happened and which facility was closest or best equipped for your injuries.
Where is a Fort Worth injury claim filed?
Civil personal injury cases are generally heard in the Tarrant County District Courts, based at the Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building at 100 N. Calhoun St. We build Fort Worth filings around that venue's procedures.
Is a crash on I-35W different from one near the Alliance district?
The claim process is the same either way, but the traffic pattern differs — I-35W, I-20, and I-30 carry the city's general commuter and through-traffic, while the Alliance district to the north concentrates commercial freight moving in and out of the intermodal facility. That context can shape how a crash is investigated, particularly around whether a commercial carrier is involved.
What if the truck involved was hauling freight to or from the rail port, not just passing through?
That's a detail that can matter. A truck moving cargo between the Alliance intermodal facility and a rail connection may be operating under a subcontract with a shipping or logistics company, which can add another potentially responsible party beyond the driver — something we'd look at closely in an Alliance-area case.
