Choose The Benton Law Firm to Handle Your Personal Injury Case
The personal injury lawyers at The Benton Law Firm in Dallas have centered their legal careers around helping the victims of another person’s negligence receive justice. The injuries you face after a serious accident may have life-altering effects, including pain and suffering, exorbitant medical bills, and even loss of income if you are unable to return to work.
We understand the frustration and anger you must be feeling after your accident, and we will work with you so that you can begin healing.
Unfortunately, injuries are a common fact of life. From vehicle accidents to workplace accidents, pharmaceutical drug injuries, all the way to wrongful deaths.
Often, people are injured because of circumstances that are entirely out of their control. Sometimes, these accidents occur even if no one directly caused them, such as when a storm caused damage to someone’s home or car.
In other cases, however, the way a person acted or failed to act may have caused an accident to happen, such as when a homeowner failed to repair their damaged porch, or a driver caused an accident while texting.
In these situations, another person’s reckless or negligent behavior directly caused an accident, which may result in an injury or monetary loss to you or your loved ones. You should not be forced to pay for the consequences of another person’s actions, especially when you had no part in the resulting accident.
When these types of accidents occur, sometimes they cause significant injuries. This is when you need an experienced Dallas personal injury lawyer on your side to help you fight back.

Injuries may come in many different forms due to the number of different ways we interact with people. You may have been injured by someone’s actions directly, like if they were behaving in a way that was unsafe or reckless, or your injury may have been the unintended result of a person’s actions, such as when a person makes a critical mistake or fails to perform their required duties.
Each of these types of personal injury cases can have a wide variety of legal consequences and impacts, and it is important to understand the full scope of your injury in order to receive appropriate compensation.
This is why the legal team at The Benton Law Firm is prepared to work with you in a number of different situations in which an injury could occur.
If you’d like to know more, reach out to us today for a free consultation.
Although these are some of the most common forms of personal injury, many other types of injuries are still possible. Even if the circumstances of your injury are not specifically covered, our attorneys may still be able to help you build your case.
Texas Accident Statistics
In 2021 in the United States, there were 306,086 reported injury deaths, and 45,404 of those were caused by motor vehicle accidents.
Texas has seen its share of car crashes. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that from 2020 to 2021, Texas experienced an increase in motor vehicle traffic fatalities, with the 2021 death toll of 4,489 being a 15.22% increase from the 3,896 deaths recorded in 2020.
On top of that, 15,764 serious injury crashes occurred in Texas in 2021, with 19,448 people sustaining severe injuries. Clearly, car crashes in Texas are on the rise and cause significant harm to those involved.
In 2021, Texas saw a fatal motor vehicle crash every 1 hour 57 minutes, an injury crash every 2 minutes 12 seconds, and a reportable crash every 57 seconds. In the same year, 239,539 people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, and 521 motorcyclists (operators and passengers) were killed. 45% of those motorcyclists killed were not wearing helmets at the time of the crash. Furthermore, 824 pedestrian fatalities occurred in 2021, a 15.24% increase from 2020.
Texas's accident statistics show that, in 2021, most traffic fatalities occurred in rural areas, accounting for 51.04% of deaths. Additionally, single-vehicle, run-off-the-road crashes resulted in 1,550 deaths this year, accounting for 34.53% of all motor vehicle traffic deaths in Texas.
Tragically, 2021 was the second deadliest year for traffic fatalities in Texas since the state started tracking them in 1940. These statistics demonstrate the real dangers of driving on Texas roads.

Being sharp, knowledgeable and effective, Jeff Benton was able to settle my case and the hospital bills within record time. I am grateful for this attorney’s caring professionalism and would recommend him to anyone facing a personal injury crisis.”
ConstanceMr. Benton represented me in a personal injury lawsuit that happened while I was traveling from NJ (my hometown) to Dallas. This was my first (and hopefully only) experience filing a lawsuit and I was unfamiliar with the entire process and didn’t know what to expect. Mr. Benton was very professional, but genuinely empathetic, competent and most importantly, honest. He did not set false expectations and he was very patient, taking care to explain every step of the process to me so I was able to make informed decisions. I must say it was positively refreshing being able to trust him completely handling my case – especially since he was 2,000 miles away!”
