Practice Areas

Tate Law Offices is a family-owned personal injury firm serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area and North Texas. If you were hurt because someone else was careless, we help you recover the money you need to move forward, and you pay no fee unless you collect. Every case starts with a free consultation, and we are available around the clock. Call (972) 499-4813 to talk with our team.

We are not a billboard mill that runs a volume shop. The same family that answers your first call is the one that handles your case, from the first conversation to the final check. Below are the areas we handle and how we approach them.

The Cases We Handle

Almost any serious injury caused by another party’s negligence can become a claim. These are the areas we focus on, and each links to a page that explains how we handle it.

Vehicle accidents

• Car accidents: crashes caused by distracted, impaired, or reckless drivers.
• Truck accidents: collisions with 18-wheelers and the trucking companies behind them.
• Motorcycle accidents: rider injuries and the bias riders face from insurers.
• Pedestrian accidents: people struck while walking or crossing.
• Drunk driving accidents: injuries caused by impaired drivers.
• Uninsured and underinsured claims: when the at-fault driver has too little coverage, or none.

Catastrophic injuries

• Brain injuries: traumatic brain injuries and their long-term effects on work and daily life.
• Spinal cord injuries: back and spine injuries, including those that cause lasting impairment or paralysis.

Wrongful death

• Wrongful death: fatal injuries caused by another party’s negligence, brought on behalf of the closest family.

General personal injury

• Personal injury: the full range of claims where someone’s carelessness caused you harm.

If your situation is not listed here, a short call still tells you quickly whether it is a case we handle or one we can point you toward.

How We Work

Reaching out is the hard part, and we make everything after it simple. Here is what working with us looks like.

• A free consultation. The first conversation costs nothing and comes with no obligation, and you can reach us 24/7.
• No fee unless you collect. We handle cases on a contingency fee basis and advance the costs of building the claim, so there is nothing out of your pocket to pursue it.
• We deal with the insurance company. We handle every call, demand, and negotiation, so you can focus on healing.
• You work with the attorneys. Because we keep the firm small and family-run, you get direct attention rather than a rotating case manager.

That structure is why our clients tell us the process felt clear and unhurried from the first call forward.

Why Choose a Family Firm

The insurance company on the other side of your claim handles thousands of cases a year and is very good at making a low offer sound fair. Evening the odds takes a firm that knows the same ground and will not blink.

A family firm gives you two things a volume operation cannot. First, the attorney who takes your case is the one who works it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff. Second, we take the cases we believe in and prepare each one as though it will go to trial, which is what makes an insurer treat a fair settlement seriously. That combination of personal attention and real preparation is the whole point of hiring us instead of the biggest name on a billboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few answers before you reach out.

How much does it cost to hire you?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee basis, so the fee is a percentage of the recovery and there is no fee unless you collect. We also advance the case costs while your claim is pending.

Do I actually have a case?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you have real losses, you probably do. The clearest signals are medical treatment, missed work, and out-of-pocket costs tied to what happened. A free consultation is the fastest way to know for sure.

How long do I have to file in Texas?

Generally two years from the date of the injury, under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003, which you can read on Texas Legislature Online. Some situations change that deadline, so it is worth confirming early rather than assuming.

What is my case worth?

It depends on the severity of your injuries and how thoroughly your losses are documented. Two claims with the same diagnosis can be worth very different amounts, which is why we build the full picture, including future costs, before discussing any settlement.

How soon should I call?

The sooner the better. Evidence fades, witnesses move, and the filing deadline runs from the date of the injury, so early action protects your claim.
