What do we actually know about Fort Worth?
Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates Fort Worth has about 1,028,117 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 1,598 fatal crashes in Denton County, Johnson County, Parker County, Tarrant County and Wise County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2021 (357). Those are county-wide counts, not Fort Worth alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.

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.
