All of our cases are "personal injury" cases, but this percentage is for the ones that are not wrongful death or vehicular crashes.

Wrongful Death 15%

Wrongful death is when someone is killed due to the negligent or intentional act of another. If the decedent endured conscious pain and suffering before death, there is also a "survivorship" claim. The wrongful death damages for loss of consortium can go only to spouse, children, and parents of decedent. The survivorship damages go to the estate of the decedent and pass according to will or law. Only a qualified expert attorney should handle a wrongful death claim.

Successful Settlement

Our personal attorney recommended Mr. Walton after I experienced a fall in a D/FW area business. Historically, "slip and fall" cases are not lucrative/successful in Texas, but Mr. Walton and his staff felt that my case was unique. We proceeded to consult, gather information and proceed after I was re...leased from medical care. Then Covid happened. It was frustrating for everyone, as the legal system came to a halt. Walton and his staff proceeded by gathering information, exploring options, and ultimately reaching a settlement that was satisfactory to me. I'm grateful to everyone in his practice for their time, caring attitudes, expertise and encouragement. I hope I never need a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, I'll call Mr. Walton.

5 star Attorney!!

I visited several attorneys before picking Rocky Walton's office, but I knew just after our first consultation that he was going my attorney to represent my children. My two young sons lost their dad in a car accident that was another drivers fault! Rocky and his staff we very helpful and kept an... open line of communication with me. Never did I have to ask what was going on because they were constantly updating me on the situation. Of course we had a complicated case but they handled everything very professionally. I am very happy with the outcome! Thank you so much Rocky and Ron and to your gracious staff! I highly recommend this office!

Wonderful group!!

I was hit by a drunk driver in September 2013 (his 2nd DWI) and tried our best to work with the insurance company to get our truck fixed and medical expenses paid. Liberty Mutual did not want to work with us at all and in fact were very rude when we tried to get all of this taken care of. That is w...hen we turned to the Law Firm of Rocky Walton in Arlington, TX. The staff was awesome and VERY helpful! They were quick to answer any questions we had and responded very quickly to any and all needs that we had. He was able to get us the maximum settlement allowed from the drunk driver's insurance company and is still working for us to make sure they have done everything they can for us. I would absolutely recommend The Law Firm of Rocky Walton to anyone in need of a person injury attorney...in fact I have already sent two clients to him which goes to show how much faith we have in him and his awesome staff. Thank you Rocky Walton and Staff for seeing to our every needs and "taking care of business"!!

Rocky Walton

The Walton lawfirm is amazing! My husband and I were hit by a drunk driver. The defendant refused to pay all the bills and claimed I was being fraudulant. So we talked to a family friend and they told me about Mr. Walton. He was wonderful, he made us feel welcome and comfortable. He kept us updated ...and explained everything, every step of the way. Rocky made the whole process easy to understand. Mr. Walton won won our case.
