What do we actually know about Dallas?
Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Dallas has about 1,329,491 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 2,304 fatal crashes in Collin County, Dallas County, Denton County, Kaufman County and Rockwall County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2021 (480). Those are county-wide counts, not Dallas alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.

2,304 fatal traffic crashes were reported in Collin County, Dallas County, Denton County, Kaufman County and Rockwall County between 2020 and 2024 (NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System). This counts crashes across the whole county, not this city alone, and is not a prediction about any claim. Source

NHTSA FARS — Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2020–2024, across Collin County, Dallas County, Denton County, Kaufman County and Rockwall County. "After dark" is the crash report's light condition; "rural" is the road's classification, not the city's; a cyclist is counted only when being struck was the first harmful event. Source
These are public figures about the area, published by the agencies named beside them. They describe roads and populations, not claims, and none of them says anything about what any particular case is worth.
