Work Accident Attorney in Dallas

• Negotiation & Litigation: We handle all communications with employers and their insurance carriers. Insurers routinely deploy tactics designed to minimize payouts, and we counter those tactics from the first contact. When a fair settlement can’t be reached, we’re prepared to litigate. Our history of complex trial work, including high-stakes cases involving defective software in aviation and major Medicare fraud, reflects the same readiness we bring to contested workplace injury matters.
• Third-Party Liability Claims: When a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner shares responsibility for your injury, a third-party claim may run alongside or in addition to your workers’ compensation or non-subscriber claim. Third-party claims can open the door to categories of damages, including pain and suffering, that workers’ comp doesn’t cover. We investigate all potentially responsible parties, not just your direct employer.
• Deadline Management: Texas imposes strict timelines: notify your employer within 30 days of the injury, file a workers’ compensation claim with the Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation within one year, and file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the injury date. We track every deadline and work to avoid missed deadlines.

Workplace Injury Cases We Handle in Dallas

Dallas’s construction and industrial sectors produce some of the most serious workplace injuries in Texas. We represent workers injured across a wide range of circumstances.

• Industrial Equipment Accidents: Faulty or improperly operated machinery causing amputations, crush injuries, and catastrophic harm. We investigate equipment defects, maintenance failures, and operator training gaps. Our forklift accident, crane accident, and welding injury practice areas go deeper into the specific hazards and liability questions in those sectors.
• Toxic Exposure Claims: Harmful chemical exposure and inadequate ventilation can cause serious, long-term health conditions. These cases typically require medical expert testimony to establish causation between the workplace environment and the diagnosis.
• Falls & Structural Accidents: Scaffolding collapses, ladder falls, and structural failures are among the most common catastrophic injuries on Dallas-area construction sites. We investigate site safety protocols and identify who bears responsibility.
• Repetitive Strain Injuries: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and joint disorders develop over time, which can complicate causation arguments. We build the documentation needed to connect the injury to workplace conditions.
• Employer Negligence Cases: When injuries result from a failure to provide safety training, proper equipment, or a hazard-free environment, the employer’s negligence becomes the foundation of the claim. Texas proportionate responsibility rules under Chapter 33 may apply, and we account for those in how we develop each case.

Why Dallas Workers Choose Marchand Law

Most work accident attorneys in Dallas bring legal experience to workplace injury cases. We bring that, plus the clinical and technical knowledge to stand behind it.

Leanna Marchand’s background as a BSN-credentialed registered nurse means she reads medical records the way a treating clinician does, not the way an insurer’s reviewer does. When an adjuster undervalues a spinal injury or disputes a surgical recommendation, she can engage on those clinical specifics with authority. David Marchand’s engineering background applies directly to cases involving industrial machinery defects, workplace safety system failures, and equipment that wasn’t designed, maintained, or operated to standard.

That combination matters in complex Dallas work injury cases because the other side will have technical and medical resources. We come prepared to counter them. Our over 25 years of nursing law experience and extensive background in high-stakes litigation, from healthcare fraud to aviation software defects, mean we don’t face complicated contested cases for the first time at trial.

Every client at Marchand Law works directly with our attorneys. No associates, no handoffs. We serve injured workers across Dallas and the DFW Metroplex with clear communication, focused strategy, and the kind of attention that high-volume practices can’t provide.
