Says Fort Worth personal injury attorney Amy Witherite of the Eberstein Witherite LLP law firm “the statistics are astounding when it comes to the total number of Dallas-Fort Worth car crash cases we have brought to us, which don’t even account for the broader total of how many actually occur.” The attorney’s firm handles cases throughout the state of Texas, but says “many of the cases our firm takes on are heavily concentrated in Dallas and surrounding areas like Fort Worth.” So much so that the firm expanded its practice to include a Fort Worth based office to cater to the needs of individuals in the area.
