Many people assume a lawyer’s job is mostly paperwork. While there is certainly documentation involved, much of the real work happens behind the scenes. When you work with a Garland car accident lawyer from Freese & Goss, we take responsibility for the legal process so you can spend your time getting better.
A police report is helpful, but it rarely tells the entire story. Important details can be missing, and evidence can disappear quickly if no one looks for it. Our team takes a closer look at what actually happened by gathering information such as:
Insurance adjusters are trained to be friendly, but their job is to save the company money. During these conversations, small comments can sometimes be interpreted in ways that weaken a claim.
We step in to manage those communications. Instead of dealing with repeated phone calls or questions about the accidente, you can direct the insurance company to speak with our office.
Doctors focus on your health, but we focus on how your health affects your future. We examine how an injury affects your day-to-day life, your ability to work, and the care you may need in the future.
That often means reviewing medical records, consulting with specialists, and understanding the long-term outlook for certain lesiones. If additional treatment, therapy, or procedures may be needed later on, those considerations should be reflected in the overall claim.
At Freese & Goss, we approach every case with the understanding that it matters deeply to the person behind it. Our team doesn’t rush files through a system. We examine the details, ask the difficult questions, and prepare each case with the same level of care we would want if the roles were reversed.
If you were recently injured in a crash and have questions about what comes next, a conversation with the right legal team can make things clearer. Our team is here to listen, explain your options, and help you decide what the next step should be.

Filing a claim should be straightforward, but it rarely is. There are several “traps” that can catch you off guard if you aren’t careful.
One of the biggest challenges is the nagging insurance adjuster. They might call you the day after the crash, acting concerned. They often ask for a recorded statement.
Never give a recorded statement without a lawyer. These statements are often used to twist your words later in the process to reduce your payout.
Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” law. This means that if you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accidente, you cannot recover any money at all.
Insurance companies know this, so they will work hard to shift even a little bit of the blame onto you. If they can move your “fault” from 10% to 51%, they pay zero. We make sure the blame stays where it belongs.
It’s easy to show a bill for a broken arm. It is much harder to prove the value of the sleep you’ve lost, the hobbies you can no longer enjoy, or the constant anxiety you feel every time you get behind the wheel. We help tell that part of your story so it isn’t ignored.
Many people assume a accidente de tráfico claim only covers the hospital bill and the cost of fixing their car. In reality, the financial impact of a serious crash can stretch far beyond those first expenses.
A Garland car accident lawyer looks at the full effect the accidente has had on your life. Not just what it cost in the first few weeks, but what it may cost months or even years from now.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:
Understanding the full value of a claim is not always straightforward. Many accident victims try to handle the process themselves, only to discover later that important damages were never included in the claim.
Independent survey data highlights just how much representation can matter. In one large survey of personal injury claimants, more than 90% of people who hired a lawyer received a settlement or financial award, compared to about half of those who handled their claims on their own.
The difference also showed up in the final numbers. People with legal representation reported an average recovery of about $77,600, while those who managed their own claims received an average of about $17,600.
Every case is different, of course. But the data makes one thing clear: having an experienced advocate involved can make a meaningful difference in both whether compensation is recovered and how much is ultimately secured.
Car accidents place sudden and intense force on the body. Some injuries are immediately obvious, while others may take hours or even days to appear. Our team has worked with clients facing a wide range of crash-related injuries, including:
We see certain causes appear again and again in our cases. Here’s what the data shows for Dallas County, which includes Garland:
Garland is a growing city, and that shows up on our roads. With rising levels of traffic, crashes are an unfortunate reality.
Data from the Texas Department of Transportation (Departamento de Transporte de Texas) shows that accidents remain a serious concern for Garland drivers.
En 2024 alone, Garland reported 3,195 total crashes. Here’s a closer look at the numbers reported for Garland that year:
Altogether, these crashes caused over 3,000 reported injuries in Garland in a single year.
While fatal crashes receive the most attention, serious and moderate injury collisions happen far more often. These are the types of crashes that can leave people dealing with medical treatment, missed work, and long recovery periods.
At Freese & Goss, we approach every case with the understanding that it represents a real person whose life was interrupted by someone else’s mistake. We take the time to understand what happened, gather the evidence that tells the full story, and build a case designed to stand up to scrutiny from insurance companies or in a courtroom.
Con más de seven decades under our belt, our team has handled cases ranging from individual crashes here in North Texas to nationwide litigation involving thousands of people. No matter the size of the case, the goal remains the same: careful preparation and relentless advocacy for the people we represent.
If you were injured in a crash, speaking with a Garland car accident attorney can lay out all of your options clearly and work on your terms. Call (214) 761-6623 o rellene nuestro formulario en línea to talk with our team at Freese & Goss. The conversation costs nothing, and you won’t owe attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.
In Texas, the statute of limitations is generally dos años from the date of the accident. However, if the accident involved a government vehicle (like a city bus or a police car), that timeline can be much shorter. It is best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss any deadlines.
As mentioned earlier, Texas uses modified comparative negligence. You can still recover money as long as you are 50% o menos en falta. Your total check will just be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but were 20% at fault for speeding, you would receive $80,000.
That concern is very common, and it’s something many people think about before calling a lawyer. After an accident, you may already be dealing with facturas médicas, car repairs, and time away from work. The idea of adding legal fees on top of that can feel stressful.
At Freese & Goss, we handle car accident cases on a contingency fee basis. That simply means you do not pay anything upfront to hire us, and there are no hourly legal bills while your case is ongoing.
Instead, our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we are not able to recover compensation in your case, you do not owe us attorney’s fees.
The value depends on your medical bills, how much work you missed, the severity of your injuries, and the amount of insurance coverage available. During a free consultation, we can look at the specifics of your situation to give you a better idea of what to expect.
Not necessarily. You can still pursue a claim even if a police report was not created. However, an official report can be helpful because it documents key details about the crash, such as the location, the drivers involved, and any initial observations from the responding officer. Insurance companies often review these reports when evaluating a claim, so having one may make the process smoother. If a report wasn’t made at the scene, other evidence, such as photos, witness statements, and medical records, can still help support your case.
Look for three things: experience, resources, and results. Start by looking at experience, preparation, and track record. You want a legal team that has handled serious injury cases before, understands how accident claims work in Texas, and prepares every case carefully from the beginning. It also helps to choose a firm that is comfortable taking a case to trial if the insurance company refuses to be reasonable.
Almost never. The first offer is usually a “lowball” attempt to get you to go away quickly and cheaply. Once you sign that paper, you can never ask for more money, even if you find out later that you need surgery. Always have a lawyer review any offer before you sign it.
Texas requires insurance, but many people drive without it. In these cases, we look at your own insurance policy for “Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist” (UM/UIM) coverage. We can help you file a claim with your own provider to make sure you are covered.
