Why Texans Trust Our Dallas-Based Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Lawyers at Winocour Law

Law Statue

Our roots run deeper than almost any law firm in Texas. In 1889, S.P. Jones set down his plow in Harleton, East Texas, and began to read law. He built a practice in Marshall that carried him all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1916, where he successfully argued Texas & Pacific Ry. Co. v. Rigsby, a landmark ruling empowering injured workers to seek justice under federal law.

His son helped found the Texas Trial Lawyers Association in 1949. Today, attorneys Jonathan Winocour and Mike C. Miller carry that tradition forward—four generations of trial lawyers who believe justice is not optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about how we handle personal injury cases, wrongful death, and what sets Winocour Law apart.

How does Winocour Law handle personal injury cases?
We start with a free, no-obligation case review, then move quickly to investigate—preserving evidence, identifying every liable party, and documenting the full scope of your injuries and losses. From there, we build each case as if it will go to trial, which is what positions us to negotiate full, fair settlements. If the other side won't offer what your case is worth, we're prepared to take it in front of a jury.
How does the firm approach wrongful death claims?
Wrongful death cases demand both compassion and tenacity. We handle these claims across Dallas and East Texas, working to hold negligent parties fully accountable while pursuing the financial recovery a family needs to move forward. We take on the investigation, the insurers, and the corporate defendants so your family can focus on healing.
How does Winocour Law build and value a case?
We build every case as completely as possible from the start. We invest the time to map out every possible avenue for recovery, and we hire the right experts in each relevant field to prove it. We're also patient when a case calls for it: in serious matters like traumatic brain injury, the full extent of the harm can take time to reveal itself, and we don't rush to a damage calculation before we truly know what a client's losses will be.
What makes Winocour Law different from other Texas personal injury firms?
Our work doesn't stop at the settlement figure. We advise clients on how to structure their recovery to keep as much of it as possible, including negotiating down ERISA and other liens and setting up structured settlements. Backing all of it is a four-generation trial legacy that traces to a Texas lawyer who argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1916—and attorneys like Mike C. Miller, who has been Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law since 1989, a distinction fewer than 3% of Texas attorneys hold.
What types of cases does Winocour Law handle?
We concentrate on the most serious injury matters, where the stakes are highest. That includes catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, wrongful death, truck and 18-wheeler accidents, dram shop and liquor liability, FELA and train accidents, Jones Act claims, non-subscriber work injuries, premises liability, and nursing home abuse.
Will my case actually go to trial?
Many cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it will be tried. That readiness is precisely what drives strong settlements. If a fair settlement can't be reached, our attorneys are trial-tested and ready to argue your case before a jury.
How much does it cost to hire Winocour Law?
For personal injury and wrongful death claims, we work on a contingency basis: you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free and carries no obligation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim in Texas?
In Texas, the deadline is generally two years—from the date of injury for personal injury claims, or from the date of death for wrongful death claims. Certain situations can shorten or extend that window, especially claims involving government entities, so it's best to speak with an attorney promptly. Evidence also fades over time, which makes acting quickly important to the strength of your case.
When should I contact a lawyer after a serious accident or loss?
As soon as possible. Delays can compromise the value of your claim—evidence gets stale, memories fade, and documents go missing. We're available 24/7 for a free consultation, so if you think you might need a lawyer, it's worth reaching out right away.
