West Dallas has been a working Latino community for generations. People build here, literally. They work in construction, warehouses, restaurants, in everything that keeps this city running. And while developers raise new buildings throughout the area, the streets fill with trucks, work zones, and dangers that did not exist five years ago.

If you live in West Dallas and were injured in an accident, a crash on Singleton Blvd, a fall in a construction zone, a workplace accident, you need a lawyer who knows your community.

Attorney Rolando Quesada (Texas Bar No. 24083694) has recovered over a million dollars for injured clients across Dallas. He is bilingual native Spanish and understands the realities of West Dallas: hard jobs, dangerous streets, and employers who sometimes do not care for their workers the way they should.

Call (214) 380-4000 for a free consultation. We charge nothing unless we win your case. Your immigration status does not matter.

Cases We Handle for West Dallas Residents

Car Accidents

Singleton Blvd, Hampton Rd, Sylvan Ave, Commerce St, the streets of West Dallas carry heavy and dangerous traffic. Construction trucks mix with residential traffic. Work zones change traffic patterns without warning. Crashes in these conditions cause serious injuries, herniated discs, fractures, severe whiplash. If another driver caused your accident, you have the right to claim full compensation. 

Truck and 18-Wheeler Accidents

Singleton Blvd is an industrial corridor that carries heavy trucks at all hours. Construction vehicles, dump trucks, trailers loaded with materials, all share the road with West Dallas families. A crash with a truck can destroy a car and leave the person inside with life-changing injuries. Trucking companies protect their money. You need someone who protects yours. 

Workplace Injuries

West Dallas is a constant construction zone. The development boom in Trinity Groves and surrounding areas means construction workers everywhere, on scaffolds, in excavations, on roofs, operating heavy machinery. Many of these workers are Hispanic. Many work for subcontractors that do not carry workers’ compensation insurance.

If your employer has no workers’ comp and you were hurt on the job, you can sue them directly. Texas law punishes nonsubscriber employers by stripping them of important legal defenses. If you are thinking, “I got hurt at work but my boss has no insurance,” especially if you work in construction, call. This is a type of case we handle constantly. 

Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

Construction zones in West Dallas create dangers for pedestrians and residents: destroyed sidewalks, debris on walkways, inadequate signage, building materials obstructing the path. Property owners and general contractors have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail and you fall and get injured, they are responsible. We also handle falls at stores, restaurants, parking lots, and apartments with dangerous conditions. 

Wrongful Death

If a loved one died in an accident in West Dallas, whether a crash, a workplace accident on a job site, or any other negligence-caused incident, Texas law allows family members to file a wrongful death claim. Recovering compensation does not replace your family member. But it can financially protect those who remain and hold accountable the party that caused the tragedy.

Pedestrian Accidents

West Dallas has limited pedestrian infrastructure. Incomplete sidewalks, nonexistent crosswalks at many intersections, and fast commercial vehicle traffic create extremely dangerous conditions for people walking. Especially on Singleton Blvd and in the vicinity of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, where vehicle traffic is intense and pedestrians are invisible to many drivers.

Dangerous Streets and Intersections in West Dallas

Singleton Boulevard

Only 7% of Dallas streets concentrate 57% of all serious injury and fatal crashes. Singleton Boulevard was identified by Vision Zero as one of the highest-injury corridors in Dallas. Singleton is the main artery of West Dallas and its most dangerous street. Heavy industrial traffic, construction trucks, delivery vehicles, and residential traffic share a corridor that was not designed for this volume. Pedestrian infrastructure is minimal. Vehicle accidents and pedestrian collisions are frequent throughout the corridor.

Sylvan Avenue

Sylvan connects West Dallas with Oak Cliff and the areas to the south. The development of the Sylvan Thirty area has significantly increased traffic. The intersections with Singleton and Commerce are critical accident points.

Hampton Road

Hampton Rd carries heavy traffic connecting West Dallas with communities to the south. Traffic speed, dangerous turns, and the mix of commercial and residential vehicles create high-risk conditions.

Commerce Street

Commerce St crosses West Dallas east to west, connecting to downtown Dallas. Fast traffic and entrances to development zones make this street a constant risk corridor.

Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge Approaches

The approaches to the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge concentrate high-speed traffic in an area where pedestrians and cyclists also travel. The mix of fast traffic with limited pedestrian infrastructure creates dangerous conditions, especially for people heading to the Trinity Groves area.

Construction Zones

West Dallas is in constant transformation. Work zones change weekly, altering traffic patterns, closing lanes, and creating confusing detours. These constant changes cause accidents because drivers are not familiar with the new conditions.

If you suffered an accident on any of these streets or zones, call (214) 380-4000.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I have no papers, can I sue after an accident?

Yes. Your immigration status does not affect your right to claim compensation. Texas law protects every person injured by negligence, regardless of immigration status. We never ask about your papers.

I got hurt in a construction zone. Who is responsible?

It depends on the circumstances. It could be the general contractor, the subcontractor, the property owner, or a combination of them. In construction workplace accidents, there may also be a direct claim against your employer if they have no workers’ comp. We investigate every case to identify all responsible parties.

How long do I have to sue?

In Texas, you have two (2) years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Sec. 16.003). Do not wait. Evidence in construction zones disappears fast, conditions change, companies leave, records are lost.

Does the consultation with an accident lawyer cost anything?

Nothing. The consultation is free. And if we take your case, you pay nothing out of pocket. We work on contingency. We only collect if we win.

What if a construction truck hit me in West Dallas?

Accidents with commercial vehicles are more complicated than a normal car-on-car crash. There are multiple companies involved, federal records that must be preserved, and trucking companies send legal teams immediately. You need an attorney who acts fast to preserve evidence and protect your rights. Call (214) 380-4000 as soon as possible.
