Experience You Can Trust. Compassion You Can Count On.
No one expects to suffer a serious injury. Usually, they happen when you least expect it. One minute you are healthy and happy, and the next, your life has been catastrophically changed forever. Serious injuries can take away your independence, leaving you reliant on family members and caregivers to complete even the simplest tasks of daily living. Serious injuries interrupt lives, careers, and hobbies, preventing you from enjoying time with your family, earning a living, and doing what you love most.
At Brooker Law, we understand that serious injuries require serious lawyers. Our dedicated team is committed to providing the skilled legal representation you deserve with a personal touch that sets us apart from other law firms. No matter how challenging things are now, you can find help here.
A catastrophic injury is a severe, often permanent injury that changes daily life—such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, or complex fractures. In Texas, if someone else’s careless or wrongful conduct caused your injury, you may be able to seek compensation for medical care, lost earnings, and other harms (physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, physical impairment, etc.). Most cases must be filed within two years of the injury. Get medical care first, then protect evidence and speak with a trial lawyer before talking to insurers.
Our team has 50+ years of combined trial experience and $500M+ in verdicts and settlements. We drive value by preparing every case for a jury from day one.
There is no greater power in a courtroom than a well-told story. We learn who you are—and tell your story with precision, empathy, and proof.
We take a limited number of cases that matter. Every family gets personal attention, frequent updates, and a relentless push for justice.
There’s no single statutory definition in Texas—the term describes injuries that are severe, permanent, or life-altering, such as:
Early action protects your story and your case:
Defendants always retain lawyers before plaintiffs do. Hiring us early allows us to preserve critically important evidence, such as crash/incident reports, scene photos, surveillance videos, vehicle “black box” data, and electronic communications, such as text messages.
Once we are engaged, our in-house legal nurse consultant can start building a timeline of medical care, reviewing treating physician notes and diagnostics, and evaluating referrals made by your treating physicians.
The right expert can make good cases great cases. It is essential to select and hire experts early in areas such as accident reconstruction, human factors, neurology, orthopedics, burn/plastic surgery, life-care planning, and economics.
The injured person brings their own personal injury claim.
A spouse, parent (for a minor), or court-appointed guardian may act on the injured person’s behalf.
A spouse may have loss-of-consortium and/or household-services claims, and parents of minors may recover certain medical expenses. We’ll advise you which related claims apply, if any.

Before-and-after witnesses, day-in-the-life visuals, and a clear narrative of how life has changed and what your new normal is.
Brooker Law is the leading authority in Texas on serious injuries and wrongful deaths.
“Hard” damages that can be proven objectively, such as medical bills (past/future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and out-of-pocket costs.
“Soft” damages that rely on the jury to listen to the evidence and decide an amount that is fair and reasonable for physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment.
Damages designed to punish the defendant for willful acts or acts of gross negligence.
Texas uses modified comparative fault. If the jury finds you to be 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover. If the jury finds you to be 50 percent or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault (e.g., a $1,000,000 verdict with 25 percent responsibility nets you $750,000).
Most Texas personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Important exceptions can extend deadlines (minors, delayed discovery, incapacity, or fraud, etc.). However, essential evidence can vanish fast. Don’t delay. Act now to protect your case!
The most important questions to ask before hiring a trial lawyer.
Do I need to talk to the insurer right away?
No. Share basic facts and contact information only. Refuse to give a recorded statement until you’ve spoken with counsel.
How much does it cost to hire you now?
Brooker Law works on a contingency fee. There is no fee unless you win. We typically advance case costs and recover them from the total recovery after resolution.
How long will my case take?
It depends on liability disputes, medical treatment and recovery, venue, and court schedules. We set a realistic timeline early and keep you informed.
Can you step in close to trial?
Yes. We are often associated shortly before mediation or trial to maximize results.
Do you handle cases outside Dallas?
Yes. We take cases across Texas and nationwide. We will go wherever needed to tell your story.

Mr. Brooker and his associates worked tirelessly to make sure that my case received the justice that I deserved. They approached every issue with the highest professionalism and ethics while making sure my questions were answered honestly and completely. If given the opportunity to do it all again, Brooker Law PLLC would be my first phone call as I could not have asked for a better team to represent me.
