How McGilberry & Shirer Can Help You Win Your Personal Injury Case in Dallas
Thousands of personal injury claims are filed in Dallas every year, many involving serious injuries and complex legal challenges. Successfully recovering compensation after an accident requires swift action, detailed documentation, and an attorney who knows how to challenge powerful insurance companies. McGilberry & Shirer LLP brings over 60 years of combined experience to the table, providing injured Texans with the legal strength and personal care needed to win.
Why Personal Injury Cases Are Challenging in Texas
Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. If you’re found 51% or more at fault, you lose the right to recover damages. This rule makes insurance companies quick to shift blame. Proving the other party’s liability with solid evidence is essential for securing your compensation.
Each personal injury case involves multiple moving parts:
- Establishing negligence
- Proving causation between the injury and the incident
- Calculating full damages including medical bills, lost wages, and future expenses
Without legal support, these elements can be difficult to prove—especially when going against well-funded defense teams.
What Makes McGilberry & Shirer Different
McGilberry & Shirer has successfully handled over 10,000 personal injury cases. We combine trial-tested experience with compassion, making sure you never feel like “just another case.” Our firm’s core strengths include:
- Quick response time: Available 24/7, so you never miss a critical legal window.

Key Steps We Take to Build a Winning Case
1. Immediate Case Evaluation
We start by reviewing your accident report, injury records, and evidence. Then we build a plan of action that fits your situation. No two cases are the same, and we don’t believe in copy-paste legal strategies.
2. Gathering Time-Sensitive Evidence
Our team collects crash scene photos, witness statements, security footage, dash cam recordings, and more. We also work with medical experts to document the extent of your injuries and future medical needs.
3. Negotiating With Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters use tactics to limit payouts—like offering quick settlements before you know the full cost of your recovery. We take over all communications to protect your case and make sure you’re not pressured into a bad deal.
4. Filing and Fighting for You in Court
If the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we file a lawsuit and pursue your claim in court. Our attorneys are seasoned litigators, not just negotiators. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial.
Cases We Handle Every Day
McGilberry & Shirer focuses exclusively on personal injury law. We represent victims of:
- Car accidents: Rear-end, intersection, distracted driving, DUI
- Truck accidents: Including 18-wheelers and commercial vehicle crashes
- Motorcycle and bicycle accidents: Often involving severe or fatal injuries
- Premises liability: Slip-and-fall, negligent security, unsafe property conditions
- Wrongful death: Helping families recover after the loss of a loved one
Why Fast Legal Help Makes a Difference
Waiting too long to get legal help can damage your case. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. And the statute of limitations in Texas gives you only two years to file most personal injury lawsuits. Calling an attorney early also helps you avoid mistakes that can reduce or eliminate your compensation.
What You Can Recover with the Right Legal Team
Texas law allows personal injury victims to recover:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost income and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Punitive damages in some cases
The total value depends on your injury severity, the insurance coverage available, and how clearly liability can be proven. Our job is to maximize every dollar you’re entitled to.
What to Expect When Working with McGilberry & Shirer
- No upfront fees—we only get paid if you win.
- Transparent communication throughout your case.
- Dedicated attention from real attorneys, not just paralegals.
