SPECIALIZING IN ALL TYPES OF INJURY LAW

Life is a gamble. The National Safety Council reports that you have a 1 in 366 chance of having an auto accident every time that you drive your car. Each year in Texas, 2.3 workers for every 100 will be injured on the job. People are injured on the street, visiting stores, and even at home.

Three in ten workers will become disabled before they retire. One in every three people will be disabled for at least six months during their career.

This is why employers, stores and drivers carry insurance. Large companies understand the odds. Like a casino, they always want the odds in their favor. Insurance companies make huge profits by understanding those odds and minimizing the payouts. The employers and businesses like this because it keeps their premiums done.

At MLF Legal, we understand the tactics of the insurance companies and we fight back. Since 1996, we have been dedicated to putting the odds back in your favor. After an injury, we are dedicated to getting you the medical treatment and compensation that will help you.

Dan and his team are awesome! I was put in a situation where I needed to be represented for a workman’s compensation situation and Dan and his team were able to help settle my case in my favor! Would definitely recommend going to him! He is not like any other lawyer. He related to what I was going through and shared stories of what he has gone through and I felt like he could relate to the pain I went through.

All the negative feedback on this law firm & all it takes is to actually make a drive to find out the truth for yourself. They expanded into another separate building across Dallas area. Ask me how I know. Well I’ve been a client for almost a year now & trust me I wasn’t getting feedback on anything & so yeah I get it we get very impatient. Be patient & trust the process with these attorneys. They’re very professional & I recommend them 1000%.

FAQ

Professionals Injury Lawyers Located in DFW Areas​

If you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may have a claim against them for damages.

Most personal injury attorneys will not charge you anything up front. Most cases are handled on a contingency basis. Once the claim is resolved, the attorney will receive a percentage of the judgment or settlement. This percentage will usually run from 33% up to 50% depending upon the type of claim and where in the process it resolves.

Every case is different. Two people that have the same accident are likely to have very different damages and will recover differently. Defendant’s have different types and levels of insurance. There are infinite factors that affect the value of each claim. Your attorney will help you to get the greatest value possible for your claim.

All cases are different. Most claims are not even negotiated until you are released from medical treatment. This will give your attorney the amount of your medical bills along with estimated future medical expenses. A demand is then sent to the defendant’s insurance company. If the parties are unable reach a settlement regarding the demand, it will likely require filing a claim with the courts.

In Texas, the injured worker has the right to choose the doctor. If the employer has not joined a network for medical treatment, the injured worker can choose any doctor willing to treat them. If the employer HAS joined a network, then the injured employee must choose a doctor off of the list of approved doctors provided by the insurance company.

In most cases, you cannot sue your employer. The purpose of workers’ compensation insurance is to provide both a solution for workplace injuries and to limit an employer’s exposure to lawsuits. However, if another company or outside person was negligently responsible for the accident, you may be able to sue that third party. Check out our blog on this question for more information.

In Texas, there are no settlements after a workplace injury. In most cases, a worker’s monetary recovery is limited to lost wages, permanent impairment, and sometimes a supplemental income benefit to bridge the gap and help people return to work after a serious injury. There could be a settlement if someone other than the employer was the cause of the accident and injury.

If your spouse dies as a result of a workplace accident, then you may be eligible for death benefits. Death benefits are often a lifetime benefit for a spouse. Any surviving children may be eligible for benefits as well.
