Start with the kind of Arlington incident
An ordinary drive
A crash during your commute or errands does not need an event connection. Describe your approach, direction of travel and what changed immediately before impact.
Leaving an event
Were you driving, walking or getting into a ride when the injury occurred? Describe that moment separately from the crowd or traffic around it.
An incomplete account
If you remember only part of the sequence, say which part. Separate what you saw from what someone later told you; uncertainty can be discussed.

After an impaired-driving crash
When an impaired driver causes a crash on I-30, Collins Street or Cooper Street after an event, the injuries are often severe.
The civil claim
Texas law treats drunk driving seriously in civil cases too.
Beyond compensation for medical bills, lost income and pain, an injured person may seek exemplary (punitive) damages when a driver's conduct amounts to gross negligence.
Exemplary damages
Texas usually caps exemplary damages, but the cap does not apply to certain crimes, including intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter.
Trial ready
Ready for a Tarrant County jury
Preparing for court
An Arlington crash may lead to a case in Tarrant County; the right court depends on the parties and facts. Nolan prepares every case as if it will be tried there, and in drunk-driving cases he evaluates whether exemplary damages are available.
Reviewing coverage
If the at-fault driver has too little insurance, Nolan looks for every other source of recovery, including your own underinsured motorist coverage.

5 reasons to choose Nolan Ryan
Keep the event details together
Nolan reviews the crash location, event circumstances and witness information together, rather than treating an Arlington game day collision as a generic insurance file.
Ask what the video could show
Stadium area, parking lot and nearby business recordings may help explain the crash. Nolan requests relevant footage and considers what witnesses remember.
Separate the civil questions
An impaired driving investigation and your injury claim raise different questions. Nolan reviews the available evidence, insurance and potential civil remedies.
Look beyond the first policy
If the other driver's coverage is insufficient, Nolan reviews other possible coverage, including your own policy, before treating one insurer's position as the whole picture.
Talk through your own situation
You do not need an impaired driver claim to ask for help. Nolan also handles ordinary collisions, pedestrian injuries, rideshare crashes and unsafe property cases.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do serious crashes happen in Arlington?
Arlington recorded 43 traffic deaths in 2023. The city's Safe Streets Arlington plan found that about 70% of fatal and severe crashes on city streets happen on about 6% of the road network. A TxDOT study of I-20 counted 7 deaths at Cooper Street and 6 at the I-20/SH-360 interchange from 2019 to 2023.
Does event traffic around AT&T Stadium matter?
Yes. AT&T Stadium holds up to 100,000 fans, and Arlington police set special parking and traffic rules for Cowboys games and major events. Congestion, pedestrians and impaired drivers all raise crash risk on event days.
Which court would hear my Arlington injury case?
An Arlington injury lawsuit may be filed in Tarrant County, but the proper venue depends on where the incident happened, the defendants and the claim. Tarrant County’s civil district courts are based at the Tom Vandergriff Civil Courts Building, 100 N. Calhoun Street, Fort Worth. Nolan can explain which court may hear your case.
How do I get my Arlington police crash report?
Buy it online through TxDOT CRIS ($6, or $8 certified), or visit the Police Records Unit at the Ott Cribbs Public Safety Building, 620 W. Division Street, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Which trauma centers treat Arlington crash victims?
Medical City Arlington is a Level II trauma center. John Peter Smith Hospital and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth are nearby Level I centers.
What if I was hit while walking to or from AT&T Stadium?
A driver who hits a pedestrian is usually judged on whether they kept a proper lookout and yielded where required. Your own auto policy's PIP and uninsured motorist coverage may apply to you as a pedestrian, depending on its terms. Get the driver's information, photos of the location and the names of anyone who saw it.
What if I was hurt in a crowded event parking lot in Arlington?
A collision between two cars in a lot is usually handled like any other auto claim. If you were hurt by a hazard in the lot, such as a hole, broken curb or poor lighting, the claim is against the property owner or operator, and you generally must show they knew or should have known about the danger and failed to fix it.
What if the drunk driver who hit me in Arlington has only minimum insurance?
Minimum coverage is $30,000 per person. Your own underinsured motorist coverage may pay more, and the driver's personal assets may matter for an exemplary damages award.
A family member died in an Arlington crash. Who can bring a claim?
The surviving spouse, children and parents may bring a wrongful death claim. Any of them may sue for the benefit of all. If none files within three months, the estate's executor or administrator must file unless all of them ask that it not.
How long do I have to file after an Arlington crash?
Generally two years from the date of the injury, and two years from the date of death in a wrongful death case.
Can I recover if I was jaywalking or partly at fault?
You can recover if you were 50% or less responsible, with your damages reduced by your share. Above 50%, Texas law bars recovery.
Is there a separate claim for my loved one's pain before death?
Yes. The injured person's own claim survives and passes to the estate and heirs. It can include medical expenses and pain and suffering before death.
Can I meet with you about an Arlington case by video?
Yes. Consultations are free and can be by phone or video, or in person in Dallas.
