DALLAS PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

Whether you were riding DART, Greyhound, or a private carrier, if you were injured as a passenger on a bus or were hit by a bus, you are entitled to file a claim against the negligent party. Bus companies may be vicariously liable for their drivers’ negligent actions, so the defendant is likely to be the company employing the bus driver. Julie Johnson sort out these details for you and get the evidence necessary to hold a negligent driver and bus company liable for your damages.

The city of Dallas boasts some of the highest traffic accident numbers in the state of Texas.

We work with each client to assess her damages, the effects of the wreck on her life, and any unique factors present in the case. Julie makes sure her clients get the compensation they deserve and will pursue a claim all the way to court when necessary.

Our doctors prescribe medication to cure what ails us, but there are several drugs on the market whose side effects can be worse than the conditions they treat. If a drug company produces a medication that causes severe complications, then it may be liable for patients’ damages. These can be very complicated cases, so if you suspect a drug caused your severe side effects, work with Julie and her team to evaluate the case. You may be able to establish liability on various grounds, from strict liability to negligence for not reporting known side effects.

Accidents caused by drunk drivers often result in more catastrophic injuries. This is because drunk drivers’ behavior behind the wheel is more erratic, abrupt, and accidents often occur at high rates of speed. Julie Johnson helps the victims of drunk drivers seek compensation for their injuries. Victims of these accidents should also know that the outcome of a criminal case against the drunk driver does not necessarily dictate how the civil case will go. The burden of proof is lower for civil claims compared to criminal cases. Julie works diligently to obtain the evidence for your civil injury claim that proves the drunk driver’s negligence and entitles you to a fair settlement.

Motorcyclists often get an unfair reputation for being reckless drivers and, in some cases, receive little sympathy for being involved in a traffic accident. The truth is, even cautious and experienced riders can find themselves seriously injured in a crash when other drivers are negligent. And in many cases, it is the driver of a passenger vehicle who caused the wreck. If you were cut off, side-swiped, or otherwise compromised while riding your motorcycle, the negligent driver is liable for your injuries and damages. Julie Johnson helps motorcyclists across the Dallas area secure fair settlements for their injuries and long-term damages.

Big cities like Dallas are always encouraging more pedestrian-friendly development to cut down on traffic congestion and promote healthy neighborhoods. As wonderful as these initiatives are, they can also put pedestrians at a higher risk of injury when there is inadequate attention paid to their safety. Aside from city improvements like more sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly areas, drivers need to pay close attention to driving responsibly when people are walking and biking near the streets. If you were on foot, on a bike, on a skateboard, or on any other non-powered transportation and you were hit by a vehicle, Julie Johnson can help you file an injury claim against a distracted or negligent driver.

A cracked sidewalk, a broken staircase, a wet floor – these are all simple hazards that property owners should address as soon as they discover them. Unfortunately, the owners of public properties such as parks, stores, and businesses do not always attend to these corrections until someone has been hurt. If you were injured while legally on another’s property, you may be able to hold the property owner liable for your damages. Julie Johnson helps her clients determine who was liable for the upkeep of the hazardous area, develops the evidence necessary to show they neglected to fix the hazard, and proves that her clients deserve compensation for the injuries they suffered due to that negligence.

Talk to Julie Johnson about your case and what benefits you deserve. Julie can help you make sure you are getting the full range of benefits and the recovery time to which you are entitled.
