Mesquite is mostly in Dallas County, with a small piece in Kaufman County. Four major highways run through it: I-30, I-635, I-20 and US 80. Our lawyers talk to the insurers for you, and our fee comes only out of a recovery.
Freeway speeds and interchange merges drive a lot of the serious crashes here. TxDOT is rebuilding the I-635 and US 80 interchange and widening 5.45 miles of US 80 from Town East Boulevard to Belt Line Road, a $540 million project that started in February 2025 and is expected to run into early 2029. The 635 East project also rebuilt the I-635 and I-30 interchange in Mesquite. Shifting lanes, temporary barriers and closed ramps change how a crash happened and who may share the blame, including a contractor. We document the work-zone layout as it stood on the day of your wreck.
Mesquite Police Department’s Records Section sells crash reports for $6 at 777 N. Galloway Avenue, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. By mail, send a check or money order payable to the City of Mesquite to P.O. Box 850137, Mesquite, TX 75185-0137. Online, the report is available through LexisNexis BuyCrash or TxDOT’s Crash Records Information System, where a copy costs $6, or $8 certified. Police have 10 days to send the report to TxDOT.
Dallas Regional Medical Center at 1011 N. Galloway Avenue runs a 24-hour emergency room, and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Sunnyvale on South Collins Road is just east of town. See a doctor the same day, and keep every follow-up appointment. The insurance company will read your treatment record line by line.
Justice of the Peace Precinct 2, Place 2 sits in the Mesquite Government Center at 500 S. Galloway Avenue and hears smaller civil claims, up to $20,000. Larger injury cases go to the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building in downtown Dallas, where Dallas County’s County Courts at Law can hear civil cases of any amount. A wreck in the Kaufman County part of town may belong in Kaufman County instead, so we confirm venue at the start.
The city’s own safety plan counted 12,651 crashes in Mesquite from 2020 through 2024, including 64 fatal crashes and 279 that caused serious injuries. Driver inattention played a part in 36 percent of them.

Texting, adjusting navigation, or reaching for items can take eyes off the road and cause serious crashes.
Alcohol, drugs, or fatigue reduce reaction time and judgment, increasing crash risk.
Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and ignoring speed limits cause countless preventable wrecks.
Unsafe driving during rain, fog, or debris on the road can lead to hydroplaning, loss of control, or chain-reaction collisions.
