Practice Areas Description

- Car Accidents

Through our years of practicing injury law, we know that even the most minor of car accidents can lead to the most debilitating bodily injuries. These accidents can cause considerable bodily injury to the innocent driver or their passengers, including neck and back injuries, spine and disc problems, broken bones, scarring and disfigurement, brain injury, shoulder and knee injuries and even wrongful death. The injured party has a legal right to fair compensation for their injuries and pain and sufferi
ng.

- Truck and Bus Accidents

The local roads are dominated by large trucks, whose driver's sometimes seem blind to the everyday passenger vehicle going to and from work and school. Truck and bus accidents leave serious injuries. Insurance companies for negligent truck and bus companies have a reputation of being difficult to work with in the injury claim process. You’ll need a trucking accident lawyer from the Anderson Law Firm to help you through this. We’ll make sure you don’t get the run around and hold the negligent party accountable.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Our firm is a friend and advocate of the motorcycle rider – we even created a safe riding program for bikers called “Ride Safe. Ride Sober.” After handling countless motorcycle cases, we know that vehicles with four wheels do not pay enough attention to motorcycle riders. Negligent drivers must be held responsible for their actions and the Anderson Law Firm can help make sure they are.

- Drunk Driving Accidents

In Texas, over 1,500 Texans are killed in wrecks caused by intoxicated or impaired drivers. That is about three avoidable deaths a day. If a drunk driver has ruined your life, you should consider a possible legal claim to help recovery monetary consideration for you loss. The Anderson Law Firm takes drunk driving cases seriously. If you were injured or have lost a loved one because of a drunk or impaired driver, then you have rights and should be compensated for your injuries and damages.

- Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a growing problem across America, but especially in Texas where it seems everyone is talking on a cell phone while driving. Drivers who use their cell phones while driving put other people's lives at risk. Other forms of distracted driving include sending or reading emails, talking on the phone and using the internet while driving. Our law firm has taken a personal stand against distracted driving. If you have been injured as a result of someone else's distracted driving, you have a right to recover compensation for you medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

- Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents

When a pedestrian is hit in a crosswalk or a bicyclist is run over on the shoulder of the road, the injuries are horrible. From broken bones to loss of limb to death, there is no good result. The exposed human body has no chance against a two ton hunk of metal. These cases often require immediate attention so witnesses can be interviewed and evidence collected, as the injured party often did not see the actual cause of the accident. If either of these scenarios applies to you, you're not alone. Let a pedestrian accident and bicycle injury attorney help you find your way in the wake of an unexpected and severe injury from an accident like this.

- Uninsured Motorist Claims (UM/UIM)

Almost a quarter of the drivers on Texas roads do not have liability insurance, even though it is required by the state. And the ones who do have insurance are likely to have the state minimum of only $25,000. For serious injuries from car, truck or motorcycle accidents, there is a strong chance that there will not be adequate insurance to fully and fairly compensate you for your accident related injuries. If you have underinsured or uninsured motorists coverage, this allows you to make a claim as if the at fault driver was indeed adequately insured.

- Injuries to Children

Children are often the victims of negligent acts stemming from preventable situations. Kids lack the ability to sense and appreciate danger, especially at young ages. Their safety relies on the competency of care they are given. If you think your child’s injuries were the result of a negligent care giver, the Anderson Law Firm’s child injury attorneys can help.

- Wrongful Death

A “wrongful death” claim is one where a person’s death was caused by the negligence of another person or company. The laws in the state of Texas allow wrongful death claims to be brought by the decedent’s spouse, children and/or parents. “Wrongful death” claims can cover a wide variety of accidents. Settling the estate and affairs of a deceased family member is difficult enough without pursuing a wrongful death claim. The lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm treat wrongful death cases with the utmost sensitivity and patience.

- Other Injury Claims

The Anderson Law Firm also takes personal injury claims in the following practice areas: Day Care Abuse, Accidents and Injuries; Van Accidents; ATV Accidents; Dog Bites; On-the-job injuries; Boating or other water-related accidents; Asbestos/Mesothelioma; Construction Accidents and Oil Field Injuries; Dangerous Drug and Devices; Elevator Injuries; Accidental gun shots; Defective construction; Building code violations; Dangerous property conditions; Premises liability; Trip and fall/Slip and fall; Unsafe products.-

- Dog Attacks

Some of the most complex cases I deal with as a Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury lawyer are dog attack cases. I'm a dog owner myself (I have a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever), yet I am fully aware that despite dog's status as man's best friend, the fact remains that dogs are animals with natural instincts and behavior often unpredictable by human standards. Physical injuries caused by unprovoked dog attacks range from bites to mauling. In the most serious cases, dog attacks have been known to result in the death of their victims. This is particularly common in cases where dogs attack young children, who are virtually defenseless against a vicious animal.

- Day Care Abuse

Day care abuse isn't something that happens at all day care centers, or even most day care centers. The majority of day care providers are responsible, caring organizations with your children's best interests in mind. Day care abuse statistics are incomplete, but it's estimated that only 3% of reported child abuse cases occur in day-care settings. However, all it takes is the one unscrupulous or overzealous staff member to expose your child to day care abuse.

- Van Accidents and Rollovers

Van accidents are potentially high-risk accidents that cause injury and even death every year. 15-passenger van accidents are growing in frequency, and these vans often lack the proper seatbelts and safety measures sufficient to protect their passengers. Van accidents potentially cause serious injury whic means if you or a loved one may be entitled to significant compensation to cover your medical expenses and other crash-related costs if you have been injured in a rollover accidents.

- ATV and 4-Wheeler Accidents

All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) such as 4-wheelers and off-road utility carts are dangerous toys, whether operated by an adult or child. Injuries sustained in off road accidents are typically very serious and can include broken bones, blunt force trauma and head injuries. If you or a loved one have been injured in an ATV accident, you should contact a Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury attorney to discuss your personal situation and whether any insurance exists afgainst which you can make a claim for compensation.

- Boating Accidents

Each year, almost 700 people are killed and at least 5,000 people are injured in the United States as the result of recreational boating accidents. The reasons are very similar to those which cause auto accidents. While boating and drinking alcoholic beverages to many seem to go hand in hand, operating a boat while intoxicated is not only against the law, but it can often lead to tragic results. Over 20 percent of boating fatalities involve alcohol. Unfortunately in Texas, there is no license required to operate a boat, therefore inexperienced operators unfortunately make avoidable mistakes. Also, we see driver inattention as a cause for accidents as there are many distractions available to a boat operator.

- Asbestos/Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly form of cancer caused mostly by inhaling large amounts of asbestos fibers. Asbestos is made up of minerals and is used to insulate buildings from heat and cold and when loose asbestos fibers are inhaled over a long period of time (usually the result of working around construction sites or mining) they can produce cancerous cells which infect the lining of your internal organs-mainly around the heart and lungs. The lining is filled with a fluid which allows these organs to slide around easily and that fluid is called the mesothelium membrane. When the mesothelium is infected by malignant cancer, it is known as mesothelioma.

- Elevator Injuries

There are many different injuries that may be sustained from something not working properly on an elevator. Many injuries that are associated with elevators often have to do with the maintenance of the elevator itself, which is either the responsibility of the building owners or a maintenance company. If you have been injured in any kind of elevator accident, it is important that you fully understand your legal rights. This is particularly important if you have sustained injuries which require medical treatment of could affect your quality of life even in the short term.

- Construction Accidents and Oil & Gas Field Injuries

Our society functions largely on infrastructure, and our economy thrives on building and new construction. Likewise, thousands of people are employed in construction--a field that means big machinery, heavy equipment and, oftentimes, dangerous work environments. The same can be said for gas drilling--especially here in North Texas. Right now, drilling for natural gas is a huge business in the Fort Worth Area. The Barnett Shale has brought many new jobs to the area. But the downside is that more on-the-job accidents are occurring. Like construction, working on a drilling rig is a very dangerous occupation and the associated injuries are often serious and life-changing.If you or a lvoed one is injured in such a workplace accident, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options and find out whether you might be entitled to make a claim.

- Accidental Gunshot Wounds

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution gives the people of America the right to bear arms for their personal protection. However, guns are dangerous weapons and we have all heard tragic stories on the news concerning someone who was either injured or killed by a gun accidentally going off. As a Fort Worth personal injury lawyer, Mark Anderson has represented victims of accidental gun discharges. Sometimes these incidents are the result of hunting accidents, but many times they involve children or adolescents who are unaware of the dangers and are treating the gun like a toy.

- Defective Construction

Though injuries related to building code violations can be associated with construction related defects, defective construction injuries warrant a separate category of their own. Injuries caused by defective construction are related to some kind of hazard that was created during the time of the construction. Architects, engineers and building inspectors can all be held liable; although it is usually the general contractor who is at fault for injuries related to this kind of defect.

- Trampoline Injuries

Trampolines are a permanent fixture in the backyards Tarrant and Dallas County residents. A favorite toy of many children, trampolines can provide hours of entertainment and exercise for the kids. But as fun as trampolines are, they can also be just as dangerous. And injuries caused by trampolines can sometimes lead to personal injury insurance claims-- all depending on whether is there any negligence involved (such as a lack of parental supervision).

- Forklift Injuries

As a Fort Worth workplace injury lawyer, I know that forklift injuries are very common in construction zones and in work and industrial settings in Fort Worth and the surrounding areas. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, forklifts cause more than 90,000 injuries annually in the United States.

- Failure to Diagnose

In Texas, many patients are injured each year by medical mistakes and a required to hire a Tarrant County medical malpractise lawyer to help them undertand their legal options so that they can avoid bancruptcy as a result of their doctors' mistakes. The Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm have helped many clients who have been injured as a result of a doctor failing to properly diagnose a condition.

- Premises Liability

As a North Texas personal injury lawyer, I know that each day here in the Dallas Fort Worth area, people are injured on other’s property as a result of a landowner’s negligence. Premises liability is the branch of law that covers accidents that happen as a result of a property owner’s negligence. A premises liability accident can happen at a retail store, at an office building or even at a friend’s house. Premises liability accidents may be minor, or they could result in serious, long-term injuries.

- Slip and Fall

The Anderson Law Firm is a full-service personal injury practice. Our Fort Worth accident attorneys offer skilled legal representation to people bringing cases for serious or catastrophic injuries they've suffered on dangerous premises, in car wrecks, motorcycle accidents and other cases where innocent people have been hurt by the negligence of another.

- Dangerous Products and Product Liability

As a Texas personal injury lawyer, I know that defective and dangerous products injure or wrongfully kill thousands of people each year. The Fort Worth dangerous product attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm in Fort Worth know that many of these injuries could have been avoided if the manufacturers or distributors of these products used precautions to ensure consumer safety.
