Michael Grossman [and staff] were professional, thorough and diligent in pursuing a settlement and some justice for [our daughter] Cindy. Nothing can replace Cindy in our lives but this case has shown us that negligence and harm to a child must be paid for. Thank you for all your hard work.

Dallas Personal Injury Settlements
Considering Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit? Most Injury Cases Settle Out-of-Court
If you have been hurt due to another person’s negligence, you may be able to receive compensation without going to trial. Most personal injury lawsuits are resolved out of court by reaching a settlement. A settlement is when a defendant agrees to pay a plaintiff a particular sum of money and, in return, the plaintiff forgoes any legal action against the defendant. Settling is usually cheaper, faster, and less stressful than taking a case to court.
But sometimes, trial is your best option. In some cases, you may be able to receive a larger settlement if you take your case to trial. An experienced Texas attorney can help you choose the best course of action for your particular case. The Texas personal injury attorneys at Grossman Law Offices have been working on all kinds of personal injury cases for twenty years and we can help you make the best choice for your lawsuit. If you are suing for personal injury, contact a Dallas accident injury lawyer at Grossman Law Offices and make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

Our attorneys were hired by a delivery driver who sustained a serious shoulder injury when a worker for a third party negligently operated a fork lift. The accident occurred as the plaintiff delivered a load of hay bails to a commercial farm.
An employee of said facility attempted to unload the trailer with a forklift. In doing so, he pushed several bales of hay off of the flatbed, over the side opposite the forklift. Consequently, several of the 400 lb (est.) bales of hay struck the plaintiff who was working to disconnect tie downs on the opposite side of the trailer. This resulted in serious injury to the plaintiff's shoulder.
The defendants took an aggressive stance and denied the claim, asserting that the plaintiff was the sole proximate cause of his own injuries by virtue of the fact that he was standing in a known dangerous area. Suit was filed soon thereafter. Our attorneys argued that the plaintiff's ordinary work duties, and indeed the normal protocol for all flatbed delivery drivers, consists of letting loose the materials to be unloaded. We maintained that the true cause of the plaintiff's injuries was that the forklift operator rushed into unloading the trailer.
Furthermore, the manner in which he unloaded the trailer was itself a contributing element of the defendant's negligence. The forks that were incorporated into the forklift in question were not compatible with stabbing hay bails; they were ordinary forks that were designed to be positioned below a heavy object that was to be lifted. The case was successfully resolved in mediation.
