Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Polewski Law, P.C. represents people and businesses in the Dallas area, and throughout Texas and the Southwest United States. The vast majority of what we do is litigation-representation of clients in cases involving serious personal injury, large sums of money, or both.

Litigation of major cases is no place for rookies. Everyone has a first case, a first trial, a first deposition. That's fine for little fender bender cases, but it isn't fine when the case is important, and the lawyers on the other side are as experienced and talented as the ones that insurance companies hire to defend major cases. That type of lawyer will just roll right over an inexperienced lawyer, or one who usually handles divorces or contracts.

In litigation, experience and skill make the difference between success and failure. When you call Polewski & Associates, you can be certain that your case will be handled by senior, highly experienced lawyers who know what they are doing because they've done it all hundred of times before. We have helped thousands of clients get justice over the years.

Practice Areas Description

Polewski Law, P.C. represents clients in the following legal matters:

- Personal Injury

At Polewski Law, P.C., we have over twenty years of experience handling serious injury and wrongful death cases involving everything from the simplest car wrecks to the most complex cases of medical malpractice. When you come to us, you can be sure that you are getting first class representation by an attorney who is certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization as a Personal Injury Trial Law Specialist - a certification that fewer than 3% of Texas lawyers can claim.

• Product Liability
Product manufacturers are represented by specialized lawyers who handle these kinds of cases all the time. They have an unfair advantage over the average lawyer who doesn't handle products liability cases: they know the special laws that apply to products liability cases; they know the experts needed to win the cases, and they know how to prepare these special cases for trial. Unless you have experienced products liability attorney that know all of those things too, your case doesn't stand a chance. At Polewski & Associates, we have the experience and skill to handle these special cases, and to take on the manufacturers and their lawyers. In cases like this, your choice of lawyers will make all the difference.

• Premises Liability
Under premises liability law, a property owner is held legally accountable when his negligence causes injury or death to people who come on to his property. The kinds of incidents that give rise to premises liability claims may include a slip and fall at a mall or theater, an amusement park injury, or an assault in a parking garage. Types of injuries you may have suffered due to unsafe property: Traumatic brain injuries, Gunshot wounds, Knife wounds, Sexual assault, Burns, Spinal cord injuries, and broken bones.

• Wrongful Death
We are proud of the good that has come out of wrongful death suits we have handled, and we're proud of the families that we have had the privilege to represent. None of them filed their wrongful death suits because they wanted money. They all came to us because they wanted to know why their loved ones had died because they wanted to make sure that the person or company that caused the wrongful death didn't get away with it and because they wanted to make sure that the same thing didn't happen again.

• Workplace Injuries
At Polewski Law, P.C., we have decades of experience dealing with work place injuries, Texas worker's compensation law, and the often complex issues involved in getting injured workers and their families full and fair recovery for their injuries. If you and your family are struggling because of a work place injury, contact us today.

• Construction Accidents
The law provides a way for injured workers and their families to get back on their feet again after suffering a construction accident injury. You need a lawyer with experience working on cases such as construction accidents, and a lawyer board certified in personal injury trial law. You should look for lawyers like Polewski & Associates. We have over 20 years of experience representing people just like you.

• Brain Injuries
People who have never suffered a TBI or have not seen the effects of a TBI first hand have no idea how much damage a traumatic brain injury can cause to the lives of those who are injured and the people around them. They see terms like "mild" head injury and are fooled into believing that complete recovery is just around the corner. At Polewski Law, P.C., we know that people with "mild:" brain injuries can and do suffer crushing headaches, inability to concentrate, loss of sexual desire, and profound changes in personality. Our clients are bravely confronting these problems every day, and we are right there with them, getting them the help they need-and fighting for the fair compensation for their injuries that they deserve.

• Head Injuries
If you or someone you care about has had a head injury, you should call us now. We have handled many of these cases, and we know what you are going through. We understand these injuries, and we understand the treatment and the science being applied by the neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuropsychologists, and vocational rehabilitation specialists who care for head injury patients. Your lawyer has to have this experience and he has to have this knowledge in order to represent you.

• Back and Neck Injuries
When spinal cord back and neck injuries occur the result is always painful, often disabling, and sometimes truly terrible: people are paralyzed all too often. At Polewski & Associates, our lawyer is familiar with the problems faced by people who have suffered a serious neck or back injury-the pain, the loss of ability to work, to support a family, to live normally. We know about all the doctor's bills, the loss of jobs, the emotional strain on families.

• Spinal Cord Injuries
At Polewski Law, P.C., we have the expertise and understanding necessary to fully represent victims of spinal cord injury. We understand that victims of spinal cord injury not only have to endure the physical aspects of the injury, but the emotional aspects as well. In presenting your case before a jury, we understand that it is important to balance the presentation of the evidence in order to convey an understanding of the social, economic, physical, and emotional impact of your injury. If you suffer from a spinal cord injury that resulted from the negligence of another party, give us a call. We can help.

- Auto Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there is an auto accident every 10 seconds in this country. These accidents result in approximately 40,000 fatalities annually, which equates to roughly one death every 12 minutes. The lawyers at Polewski & Associates have handled many auto accident claims and understand how to sift through the vast amounts of paperwork generated by these accidents. We will interview accident witnesses, review police and insurance reports, and assess property damage and personal injuries before taking on insurance companies. By properly preparing for your claim, we can prevent insurance companies from acting in bad faith when making a settlement offer.

- Truck Accidents

Over 5,000 Americans die in accidents caused by big trucks every year. Another 150,000 Americans are seriously injured in truck accidents annually. But truck accident cases aren't as simple as the average car accident case. To win a truck accident case, your lawyer needs to be familiar with state and Federal regulations concerning the operation and maintenance of trucks, and with the documents and records trucking companies are required to keep. At Polewski Law, P.C., we are experienced in handling truck accident cases. We know that accidents are not only caused by the negligence of drivers, but also by the negligence of truck companies who put the wrong drivers behind the wheel-and we know how to prove it.

- Medical Malpractice

The lawyers at Polewski Law, P.C. have over 25 years of experience in medical malpractice cases of all kinds. Your case will receive the personal attention of an attorney who is Board Certified as a Personal Injury Law Specialist. Your case will be reviewed and analyzed by a lawyer who is also a licensed medical doctor, Dr. Andrew Gross. In particularly complex cases, Dr. Gross actually takes the depositions of the medical experts in the case, and comes with your trial team to the trial of your case. You can't beat that kind of expertise, or that kind of attention to your case.

• Surgery Error
Most of the clients that come to us for a surgical medical malpractice case have only a suspicion of surgical medical malpractice. Something didn't seem right, or the explanation for what happened didn't sound right-or the doctor who did the surgery refuses to talk to you at all. Common operations which often involve surgical malpractice include: Hysterectomy; Gall bladder surgery (also known as Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy); Appendicitis; Back surgery; Lap band and stomach stapling surgery (known as bariatric surgery); and, Cosmetic surgery (nose jobs, breast implants and liposuction).

• Delay of Diagnosis
Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose medical malpractice cases are complicated, and they are difficult. If you think that you or a family member has suffered due to this type of malpractice, give us a call. We have the experience and the expertise to get to the truth-and to get you and your family justice.

• Emergency Rooms
If you or a family member has been hurt or killed because an emergency room doctor or nurse committed medical malpractice, you have rights. Polewski & Associates can help you with your case, and together we can help make sure that what happened to you doesn’t happen again.

• Failing to Refer to a Specialist
At Polewski Law, P.C., we know that when doctors act like they know everything instead of asking a more qualified specialist for help, people get hurt, and people die. This type of medical malpractice is particularly tragic—when a loved one dies because a doctor didn’t pick up a phone and ask a specialist for help. Sometimes people die of this kind of medical malpractice when a qualified specialist was literally in the same building—or just down the hall.

• Birth Injury Cases
Birth injury cases are among the most complex and difficult cases to understand and prepare in all of American litigation. If your precious child has been damaged by malpractice-or if you think your child might have been the victim of malpractice-call us. With over 20 years of experience handling complex medical malpractice cases, we can help find the truth. And if there has been malpractice, we can help your family get justice.

• Malpractice By Dentists
Many lawyers won't look at dentist malpractice cases because they don't understand how serious they are, or don't know how to prove a dentist malpractice case. At Polewski & Associates, we have been handling dentist malpractice cases for twenty years. We understand how serious they are, and we know how to get the compensation our clients deserve for the injuries and pain they have suffered, and the bills they had to pay.

• Malpractice by Podiatrists
Success in handling cases of podiatrist malpractice requires training and experience. Foot doctors have their own ways of doing things, their own terminology, and their own standards of care which govern they way they practice. Understanding these issues is critical to winning a foot doctor malpractice case. Contact our medical malpractice attorneys now, and let us know about your case. We know how much your injured foot has affected your life, and we can help.

- Insurance Disputes

Some insurance companies will literally do anything to keep from providing the insurance protection you paid for. At times like these, you need experienced lawyers who know how to get you the insurance benefits you paid for. The deck is stacked against your family in any dispute with a big insurance company. They know all the tricks, and they have full time lawyers and claims adjusters whose only job is to make sure that their company pays as little as possible-or nothing at all. Without experienced legal help on your side, your chances of getting what your family deserves are slim and none.

- Business Disputes

In over 25 years of representing businesses and consumers in the Dallas area, our business lawyers have seen almost every kind of business dispute imaginable. The ways in which dishonest people try to take advantage of honest people are limitless. Some of the cases we see most often are:

• Breach of Contract Cases
Enforcing a contract in the court system can be as simple or complex as the contract itself. If you have to go to an attorney to get a contact enforced, or to defend yourself against a false charge that you breached a contract, you'll want to have an attorney that knows the court system and how to make it work for you. At Polewski & Associates, our business lawyers know the courts, we know the law, and we know business. If you have a contract dispute, or if you see one coming, give our contract attorneys a call. We can help, and we want to be your lawyer.

• Deceptive Trade Practices Cases
If you have been a victim of unfair business practices, our Dallas business attorneys can help. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices—Consumer Protection Act (DTPA) allows you to file a lawsuit against those who performed the deceptive act. For the purposes of the DTPA, you can file a claim whether you purchased the good or service for yourself, for another, or for your business.

• Disputes between Partners
It is a sad fact of life that business partners, like marriage partners, sometimes cheat on each other. Whether it's stealing money, stealing clients, or opening a new business in competition with the partnership, one thing is always the same: the shock and dismay of the partner who is being cheated. At Polewski & Associates, our business attorneys have handled disputes between business partners for over 20 years. Our business lawyers know what the legal and business issues are, we know what you are going through, and we can help.

• Disputes with Insurance Companies
At Polewski & Associates, we know all about the games corporations and insurance companies play to keep from paying what they owe-the delays, the insulting offers, the ridiculous denials of the facts. We've been fighting to help our clients get what they deserve for decades. If you need help dealing with an insurance bad faith or corporation, give us a call. We want to help-and we can.

• Fraud Cases
Fraud includes: Identity Theft, Mortgage Fraud and Scams, Insurance Fraud, Contractor Fraud, Securities Fraud, Telemarketing Fraud, Corporate Fraud, Health Care Fraud, Consumer Fraud, Auto Fraud, Internet Scams, Door-to-Door Solicitors, and, Embezzlement. It is important that you seek legal assistance if you believe you have been the victim of fraud. In Dallas and De Soto, Texas, the experienced business law attorneys at Polewski & Associates understand you have been the victim of a grievous wrong, and we will fight aggressively for your rights to get you the compensation you deserve.

• Unfair Business Practices Cases
If you bought a product such as a toaster, a computer, or a vehicle and then found out it was defective or did not perform as promised, you have been a victim of unfair business practices. The same is true if you hired someone such as a plumber, electrician, or mechanic to perform services for you, and the person either charged you for unnecessary services, did not perform the services paid for, or performed them incompetently.
