Proudly serving injured victims and their loved ones throughout Texas
A Fort Worth auto accident lawyer at Berenson Injury Law can help you and your loved ones recover the compensation you deserve after a vehicle crash. Texas laws protect your right to receive money for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages when another driver’s or a company’s carelessness was the cause of the collision. However, complex insurance policies and personal injury laws can complicate your claim and make it challenging to know if you are taking the right legal steps.
If you have questions or need legal advice after an accident, contact a Fort Worth auto accident attorney at Berenson Injury Law for a free consultation. We stand behind our work. There are no attorneys’ fees or expenses until you win your case, and if we do not win, you owe us no money.
An attorney who specializes in car accident cases assists auto accident injury victims in many valuable ways. These cases can involve traumatic injuries or even the loss of life. Injury victims need legal protection to guarantee that the insurance company does not take advantage of their vulnerable physical or financial position.
Berenson Injury Law helps injury victims stand up to the insurance company and get the compensation you deserve. If you have been injured, don’t waste time talking to the insurance company.
Car accident claims are our specialty. Driver negligence causes car accidents and can be proved in different ways, including proving that the other driver was speeding, driving recklessly, not paying attention to road conditions, or driving while intoxicated. When a negligent party causes a collision that hurts another person, the injured party is entitled to compensation under Texas civil statutes. The main causes of auto accidents in Texas are:
In a collision with an 18-wheeler, in addition to the driver, the trucking company may also be responsible for causing the crash. For example, the company may not have properly inspected and maintained its trucks or trained or supervised its drivers in accordance with federal regulations. Berenson Injury Law’s experienced Fort Worth truck accident lawyers are familiar with the complex issues involving trucking accidents and how to put that knowledge and experience to work for you.
If you or a loved one has been injured or lost their life in a truck crash, Berenson Injury Law is here to assist you.

As Uber and Lyft usage has increased in Texas, rideshare accidents have naturally increased. Rideshare companies have their own insurance, but those policies do not apply if the driver is not logged into the rideshare app at the time of an accident. Whether you were a passenger in a rideshare vehicle during an accident or you were struck by an Uber or Lyft driver, claims involving rideshare collisions present unique challenges since different laws and insurance policies apply. An experienced attorney at Berenson Injury Law can help you navigate these complex cases.
There are more than 12,000 auto accidents in Fort Worth each year that cause serious injuries. The legal team at Berenson Injury Law will evaluate the expenses and damages that you suffered and demand that insurance companies reimburse you. If they do not, we can proceed to court. Some of the most common injuries suffered in an auto accident that our firm represents include:
Auto accidents can cause a number of severe head injuries. Skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries are common injuries sustained in a vehicle accident, and unfortunately, these injuries often cause lifelong disabilities. Additionally, if you have suffered from a concussion prior to the one you sustained in your car accident, your brain is even more vulnerable and may be more prone to permanent damage.
Whiplash, or a sprain/strain, commonly affects neck muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Car accidents can also result in severe disc injuries including bulges, protrusions, and herniations that may need to be surgically repaired. Because whiplash is difficult to prove with medical diagnostic testing, insurance companies will often attempt to discredit your claim, which is why you need a dedicated auto accident lawyer on your side.
Like your neck, your back is particularly vulnerable to injury in an accident, even if you are wearing a seat belt. Back injuries involving discs and vertebrae can severely impair your ability to walk, stand, or even sit comfortably. Additionally, the pain and numbness that can result may be a lifelong issue. Back injuries cause severe and long-lasting pain and disability, and you deserve compensation proportional to your suffering.
In addition to injuries caused to vertebrae and spinal discs, the force of a collision and the torque applied to the body can result in long-term disability due to spinal cord injuries. A spinal cord injury can cause temporary or permanent paralysis.
Car accidents frequently result in broken fingers, hands, shoulders, arms, ribs, hips, legs, and feet. The severity of a fracture can range from minor breaks that require splinting or a cast to traumatic breaks or fractures that may require surgical repair using metal rods and plates.
Crush injuries can occur to any part of the body caught between two objects—like the door frame and steering wheel. At a minimum, lacerations, fractures, and bruising may occur, but more serious injuries to bones, organs, muscles, and skin can result.
When the body collides with a part of the vehicle or is struck or penetrated by a flying object, your internal organs may sustain significant damage. Internal bleeding resulting from this type of injury necessitates immediate surgical treatment and can cause long-term damage.
In addition to lacerations from broken glass, an impact into the steering wheel, dashboard, windshield, and airbags can cause facial and bodily injuries. Facial and bodily scarring and disfigurement may require surgical correction. An insurance company may try to avoid paying for these procedures, claiming that scar repair is cosmetic in nature and therefore not medically necessary. An auto accident attorney at Berenson Injury law will fight to secure just compensation for your injuries so that you can receive the treatment you need.
If a vehicle catches fire following a collision or the occupants’ skin comes into contact with airbags or hot fluids, surfaces, steam, or chemicals, they may sustain burns. Burns are extremely painful, and those that are incredibly severe may require surgery and skin grafting.
Death is the most traumatic possible outcome of an auto accident. If your loved one lost their life, you can count on our legal team to treat you with empathy throughout the entire legal process. We will explain your legal rights and options while holding the responsible parties accountable in your wrongful death case.
