What our vehicle accident attorneys handle
Vehicle accidents in Arlington come in many forms — cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and large commercial vehicles all share the road, and each type of crash carries its own considerations. Whatever vehicle was involved, if another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, we’re ready to review your case.
Common causes of Arlington vehicle accidents
Most vehicle accidents are caused by driver negligence rather than pure bad luck. Frequent causes we see include:
- Distracted driving, including phone use behind the wheel
- Speeding or driving too fast for traffic conditions
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Following too closely
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Unsafe lane changes or merges
Identifying the specific cause of your accident is often the first step in determining who is legally responsible.
What compensation may cover
Depending on your accident and injuries, compensation may address medical bills and future care, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, vehicle repair or replacement, and pain and suffering. Our team analyzes the full economic and non-economic impact of your accident before we ever discuss numbers with an insurance company.
Mistakes that can hurt your claim
After a vehicle accident, it’s easy to unintentionally damage your own claim. Common mistakes include:
- Giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with an attorney
- Accepting a quick settlement offer before you know the full extent of your injuries
- Delaying medical treatment, which insurers can use to argue your injuries weren’t serious
- Posting about the accident on social media

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of vehicle accident cases does Jim Ross Law Group handle in Arlington?
We represent people injured in car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, and commercial vehicle accidents throughout Arlington, Texas. Whatever type of vehicle was involved, if another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, our attorneys can evaluate your case and pursue compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company.
How soon after an Arlington vehicle accident should I contact an attorney?
You should contact an attorney as soon as you’ve received necessary medical attention. Evidence such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and witness memories fade quickly, and insurance adjusters often contact victims within days hoping to secure a recorded statement or quick settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries.
Will I have to go to court if I file a vehicle accident claim in Arlington?
Most vehicle accident claims are resolved through negotiation with the insurance company rather than a courtroom trial. However, if the insurer refuses to offer a fair and full settlement, our attorneys are prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to court to pursue the compensation you’re owed.
What compensation can I recover after a vehicle accident in Arlington?
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, vehicle repair or replacement costs, and pain and suffering. An attorney can review your accident and injuries to help determine what your claim may be worth.
Do I need a police report to file a vehicle accident claim in Arlington?
A police report is not always legally required to file a claim, but it can be valuable evidence documenting how the accident happened and who was involved. If you were able to call the police to the scene, our attorneys will obtain that report as part of building your case.
