Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Cedar Hill

Injuries can happen in so many different ways, and each one can bring its own set of challenges. When you work with a personal injury attorney in Cedar Hill from our firm, we gather evidence, identify all possible sources of compensation, and prepare your claim with the documentation needed to support it. We do this while keeping you informed every step of the way, so you always know how your case is progressing and what to expect next.

Car Accidents

Car accidents often result in serious injuries and unexpected expenses. Some happen at crowded intersections, others on quiet residential streets. Proving fault can be more difficult when several insurers are involved or when drivers give conflicting statements.

Our team acts quickly to secure the proof your case needs. That may involve obtaining a police report and following up with key witnesses. We also work closely with medical providers to connect your injuries to the crash, reducing the chance of disputes when we present your claim.

Rideshare Accidents

Crashes involving Uber or Lyft require a different approach than standard collisions. Liability can change depending on the driver’s status at the time, which affects the coverage available.

We review the evidence early and determine which policy applies before moving forward with your claim. Resolving these questions at the start helps keep the process moving and gives your rideshare accident case a stronger position in settlement talks.

Truck Accidents

When a crash involves a big commercial truck, the damage can be serious and the claims process can get complicated fast. Trucking companies and their insurers often start building their defense right away, which makes it important to have someone looking out for you from the start.

We move quickly to get key records like the driver’s logs and the truck’s maintenance history. If needed, we bring in experts who can explain exactly how the truck accident happened. The more we know early on, the stronger your case will be.

Motorcycle Accidents

Riding a motorcycle comes with risks that other drivers do not face. Even a slow-speed crash can leave you with painful injuries that take time to heal. Many motorcycle accidents happen because drivers fail to notice a bike until it is too late.

We track down anything that can help show what happened, like traffic camera footage or witness statements. We also make sure your medical records tell the full story of your injuries so the other side cannot downplay them.

Catastrophic Injuries

Some injuries change life in a big way. A traumatic brain injury might affect your memory or balance. Damage to your spinal cord can take away strength or movement. Recovering from either of these catastrophic injuries can mean months or years of treatment.

We look for every possible way to get your care covered, including claims against more than one person or company if it applies. Our job is to help you get the resources you need now and in the future so you can focus on what matters most.

Premises Liability Cases

If a property is not kept safe, it can put visitors in harm’s way. You might slip on a wet floor or be bitten by a dog. In many premises liability cases, the key question is whether the owner knew about the hazard and failed to fix it.

We work to find proof of what happened. That could be a photo of the scene or a statement from someone who saw it occur. This evidence helps show that the hazard should have been addressed before it caused you harm.

Wrongful Death Cases

Losing someone because of another person’s careless actions changes life in an instant. Texas law, under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.004, allows certain family members to file a claim when a preventable accident takes a loved one’s life. While no amount of money can replace what you have lost, holding the wrongdoer accountable can help bring a sense of justice.

Goff Law, PLLC handles the paperwork and court deadlines for your wrongful death case so you can focus on your family. We also deal directly with insurers to pursue compensation for both financial losses and the personal impact of your loved one’s passing.

Pedestrian Accidents

Walking near traffic should not put you in danger, but careless drivers sometimes fail to yield or pay attention. A collision in a crosswalk or along the shoulder can cause severe harm in a matter of seconds.

We gather details from traffic footage and witness accounts to understand exactly how your pedestrian accident happened. This proof allows us to show why the driver should be held responsible for your injuries.
