serious accident can throw your life into chaos. From overwhelming medical bills to lost wages and daily pain, the aftermath can feel impossible to manage. Searching for a Dallas personal injury lawyer can feel like another burden—but it doesn’t have to be.
At Anderson & Cummings, we’re here to help you navigate the legal path forward while you focus on healing.
Don’t face big insurance companies alone. Our award-winning lawyers have recovered over $100 million for clients just like you. We’re ready to put our 50+ years of combined experience to work, fighting for the compensation you deserve.
When someone’s carelessness causes harm, we take it personally. Every case we handle starts with one thing: listening. Your story matters—how you were hurt, what you’re going through now, and what it could mean for your future.
Personal injury claims are often based on legal grounds such as negligence, strict liability, or intentional misconduct. Negligence — the most common basis — occurs when someone fails to act reasonably, such as a driver who causes an accident by texting behind the wheel.
We take the time to understand how your injury has disrupted your daily life. Whether you’ve missed work, struggled with mobility, or adjusted to emotional changes, our team builds a case that reflects the full scope of your experience.
From the very beginning, a Dallas personal injury lawyer from our firm will:
Some cases are more complex than they appear. Think of a truck crash where both the driver and the trucking company share blame or a construction site injury involving multiple contractors. We’ve seen it all and know how to sort out tangled liability issues like:
When it’s time to deal with insurance companies, we don’t back down. We build a claim that’s more than numbers—it’s grounded in facts and driven by your injury’s real impact. That means:
We never lose sight of the human side of your case—the sleepless nights, the missed milestones, the quiet moments when you feel like your independence is slipping. We make sure that the story is front and center because it matters.
You’ll always know what’s happening with your case. We keep you updated, explain the process in plain language, and offer honest advice every step of the way. Whether your case settles or goes to trial, we move forward with purpose, determination, and the belief that your recovery deserves real attention.

My wife and I were in a serious accident and she sustained serious injuries. John was recommended by a co-worker. I have never had to deal with injuries due to a car wreck and the negligence of someone else so I was in unfamiliar territory. John was very understanding and patient and took the time to meet with us anytime we had questions and Mrs. Alvarez was on top of everything and very professional. I hope and pray we never have to go through this again but if we do John will be my first call.

Anderson Cummings did a wonderful job representing me after a terrible car multi-car wreck with an underinsured motorist at fault. John Cummings was very knowledgeable, professional, conscientious, detail oriented, and empathetic to what I had gone through and helped me navigate a situation that I had no experience with. Ms. Alvarez also worked with me and was very helpful with my questions and communication. I would highly recommend their practice for your legal needs.

Our attorneys take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means your initial consultation is absolutely free and you will not be charged legal fees unless we obtain compensation for you.
After a free consultation, you can decide whether to pursue your case without being concerned about how much it will cost.
Personal injuries can range from minor cuts to life-altering trauma. Understanding the types of harm often seen in legal claims helps put context into the process and highlights the importance of compensation.
Soft tissue injuries—such as sprains, strains, and whiplash—are frequent in car crashes. While they may not appear on X-rays, their impact can be serious and long-lasting. Broken bones are also common, especially in falls or high-impact collisions.
In more severe cases, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur, often from blows to the head or violent shaking. TBIs can have far-reaching consequences, including memory loss, mood changes, and impaired physical function. Spinal cord damage is another critical injury that may lead to partial or full paralysis.
Burns, lacerations, and internal organ damage are also seen in personal injury claims. Injury is defined as damage to your body caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and more, according to MedlinePlus, a U.S. National Library of Medicine resource. These incidents can occur virtually anywhere — at work, while driving, or even walking across the street — and range in severity from minor to life-threatening.
It’s also important to consider the delayed effects some injuries can have. For example, a head injury may initially seem mild but evolve into a more serious condition over time. Internal bleeding, nerve damage, and psychological trauma can also emerge days or even weeks after the event. These delayed symptoms often complicate recovery and claims, making timely legal support essential. Emotional injuries like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress can further impact your daily life, making professional guidance even more valuable as your case moves forward.
Each of these injuries requires not just medical care but also legal recognition. It’s not enough to simply get treatment. The goal is to secure enough compensation to cover what you’re going through and what may lie ahead.
No matter where or how it happened, a car accident can turn your life upside down. The medical bills, the missed work, the stress—they add up fast. Add to that the emotional toll and uncertainty of what happens next, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The physical recovery is just one part of the equation—there’s also the frustration of dealing with insurers, the emotional toll of trauma, and the burden of making ends meet. Our team listens, gathers the facts, and builds a case that reflects what you’ve been through—physically, financially, and emotionally.

Catastrophic injuries demand more than basic legal action. They require a thoughtful, strategic approach aimed at lifelong support. Anderson, Cummings & Drawhorn represent individuals facing life-changing injuries with determination and care, always focusing on their long-term needs.

Losing someone you love because of someone else’s actions is devastating. We know the legal process can’t fix what’s been lost—but it can help bring accountability and closure.
Wrongful death claims may involve:
Only certain family members can file a claim in Texas, so legal guidance is key. These laws can be confusing and emotionally taxing, especially when you’re still trying to process your grief. That’s why we take the time to explain your rights, outline the legal process, and help you decide the best course of action for your family.
We walk you through each step, handle the paperwork, and help keep your case moving forward while you focus on grieving. We’re also here to answer big or small questions and advocate for your needs when you need a steady voice.

Personal injury lawsuits provide injury victims with compensation for physical, financial and emotional damages caused by their injuries. Any compensation you receive is meant to help return you to the position you were in before your injury.
Some of types of compensation our personal injury lawyers in Dallas may be able to recover for your injuries include:
Your personal injury attorney in Dallas will attempt to recover compensation for all past, current and future medical care for your injuries. This covers bills for various medical services, including:
We know how expensive it is to have ongoing medical care after a personal injury, which is why we are dedicated to fighting for the compensation you deserve.
If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should not have to worry about paying for necessary medical treatment. You should be focused on your recovery, not how much it costs to go see a doctor or undergo a test.
Personal injuries often make it physically impossible to go to work for a period of time. You could also miss work because you are receiving treatment or visiting a doctor so he or she can evaluate the progress of your recovery.
If you have to miss any time from work because of physical pain or limitations, or because you are receiving treatment, our Dallas personal injury attorneys may be able to pursue compensation for all of your lost wages.
We may also pursue compensation for lost earning potential if you cannot return to work in the same capacity as before. For example, maybe you have to change careers to a lower paying job or work fewer hours because of the effects of your injury.
While the financial impact of a personal injury can be devastating, our experienced attorneys also understand that the physical and emotional suffering you experience can be just as bad or worse.
Fortunately, the law allows us to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional anguish caused by your injury. This includes physical pain and discomfort from your injury and emotional effects such as depression, anxiety or stress.
Documenting this form of compensation is much more difficult than documenting medical expenses or lost wages. This is because there are receipts and bills for those things, while there is no price on physical and emotional suffering.
This is one of the reasons it is to your benefit to work with a trusted personal injury lawyer in Dallas. We can help you provide strong evidence of the physical pain and suffering you are experiencing.
If your injuries were caused by fraud, malice or gross negligence by the at-fault party, you may be entitled to punitive damages. These are not meant to compensate you for your losses but to punish the at-fault party and hopefully deter others from engaging in similar behavior.
Our goal is to help you obtain all forms of compensation you are entitled to help you move forward and recover from your personal injury.
Don’t face big insurance companies alone. Our award-winning lawyers have recovered over $100 million for clients just like you. We’re ready to put our 50+ years of combined experience to work, fighting for the compensation you deserve.
The attorneys at our firm pursue personal injury cases in a variety of practice areas, including:
During a free consultation with our firm, one of our Dallas personal injury lawyers will review the details of your accident to determine if you have a viable case. We will look for evidence of the four elements of negligence:
No Fees Unless We Win
Every personal injury case is governed by a statute of limitations. Texas’ statute of limitations says that every personal injury claim must be filed within two years from the date the cause of action accrues. This generally means two years from the date of your injury. If your attorney does not file a claim within that time, he or she will be unable to do so.
This statute is one of the main reasons why you should always try to contact a Dallas personal injury attorney as soon as possible after a personal injury. This will give us a better opportunity to build a strong case and help make sure it is filed before the statute of limitations expires.
If you suffered a personal injury caused by negligence, it is important to understand your rights. You may be entitled to compensation for the damages you suffered.
Contacting an attorney is a crucial part of obtaining compensation. Not only can our Dallas personal injury attorneys review your claim for free, but we can also conduct a thorough investigation and defend your rights throughout the legal process.
Our firm has helped many personal injury victims recover the compensation they are entitled for medical expenses and other damages.
