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. At 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 hundreds of times before. We have helped thousands of clients get justice over the years.

Areas of Law Description

Polewski & Associates represents clients in the following legal matters:

- Personal Injury

If you were injured or a family member was killed due to the carelessness of another, the Texas personal injury lawyers at Polewski & Associates are ready to listen to your story and offer you aggressive legal representation backed by extensive experience. Over the course of more than 25 years, we have established a track record of success for achieving fair compensation and peace of mind for victims of:

* 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.

* 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

In many cases it is difficult to determine who is responsible for a worker's injury on the job, and what compensation a worker and his family can recover. 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, we can help.

* 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

Brain injuries are often labeled "mild" or "moderate" because the person who has suffered a brain injury is not in a coma, but they are devastating. A complete understanding of what TBI victims are going through requires real expertise in medicine and neuropsychology that very few attorneys have. People suffering from brain injury and their families deserve exceptional legal counsel. At Polewski & Associates, all of our head injury clients get the personal attention of a board certified personal injury trial lawyer with over 24 years of experience handling serious injury cases.

* Head Injuries

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, we can help.

- Auto Accidents

The auto injury 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

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.

- Drunk Driving Injuries

In Texas, we have the highest rate of traffic accidents caused by drunk drivers in the nation, and the highest number of people killed by drunk drivers. And what is worse, a staggering one third of drunk drivers involved in fatal accidents have been found guilty of drunk driving before. At Polewski & Associates, we know how angry you are, and we know the pain you are going through. While we can't heal your injuries, we can surely go after the drunk driver who hurt you as well as those responsible for letting him drive drunk.

- Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

At Polewski & Associates, our abuse and negligence attorneys handle cases involving the nursing home neglect of our elderly clients and their families every day. And we fight for the recognition that our parents, brothers, and sisters are not just dollars to be earned, but irreplaceable human beings deserving of dignity and respect in their last years.

- 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.

* Surgical Errors

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).

* Failure to 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 medical malpractice in the failure to diagnose a medical problem, we can help. We have the experience and the expertise to get to the truth so that you and your family can get the justice you deserve. At Polewski & Associates, your case will be handled by a board certified misdiagnosis lawyer. We also have an attorney on who is a licensed medical doctor and will analyze your case to detect evidence of malpractice.

* Emergency Room Errors

Emergency room negligence happen when these doctors and nurses don’t pay enough attention, and the patient who has come to the right place for immediate treatment instead is ignored for hours, given the wrong treatment, or refused any treatment at all. 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- talk to an attorney at Polewski & Associates. 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.

* Dental Malpractice

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.

* Podiatrist Malpractice

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 the way they practice. Understanding these issues is critical to winning a foot doctor malpractice case. Talk to 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

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, talk to our contract attorneys. We can help, and we want to be your lawyer.

* Deceptive Trade Practices

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, we can help.

* Fraud Cases

When a person intentionally deceives another person or company to gain monetary compensation, they are committing fraud. The experienced Dallas fraud attorneys at Polewski & Associates can help you if you've been a victim of fraudulent activities. 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
• Embezzlement

* Unfair Business Practices

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.
