McKinney Personal Injury Lawyer — around the corner from the courthouse.
Kent Starr's office is on S Lake Forest Dr, a few minutes from the Russell A. Steindam Courts on Bloomdale. If you were hurt anywhere in McKinney — on US-380, on Lake Forest, in a parking lot at Stonebridge Ranch, on a construction site near Craig Ranch — Kent is the lawyer in town who actually tries cases. Most McKinney injury attorneys settle whatever shows up. Kent prepares every file as if it's going to a Collin County jury.

What makes a McKinney injury case different.
McKinney has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States for the better part of a decade. That growth has reshaped the way personal injury cases play out here, and the changes matter to your case in ways most lawyers don't think about.
First, the roads. US-380 east of Custer Road has been under construction or reconfiguration for years. The temporary lane shifts, new traffic signals, and unfamiliar intersections at Stonebridge, Lake Forest, and Hardin Boulevard have turned that corridor into a serial accident zone. Drivers used to the old configuration get rear-ended; drivers new to McKinney misread the work-zone signage. Sorting out liability often requires pulling TxDOT construction-zone records — something we know how to do because we do it routinely.
Second, the courthouse. Civil cases in McKinney are heard at the Russell A. Steindam Courts, 2100 Bloomdale Road. Collin County juries differ from Dallas County juries in measurable ways — verdict patterns, medical-expense credibility, attitudes toward soft-tissue injury claims. A lawyer who tries cases here knows what evidence resonates and what doesn't.
Third, the development pattern. McKinney's growth means a lot of construction — Craig Ranch, the ongoing 121 corridor, the renovation of historic downtown. Construction means subcontractors, layered insurance, and OSHA-relevant scenarios. Workplace injuries and premises claims here often involve third-party liability that an out-of-area firm misses.

McKinney injury cases — what people ask
-
Where is your McKinney office?
Our office is at 5900 S Lake Forest Dr, Suite 200, McKinney, TX 75070 — a few minutes from the Russell A. Steindam Courts at 2100 Bloomdale Road, where Collin County civil cases are heard. Free parking on site, and we'll happily come to you if you're recovering from a serious injury.

Will my McKinney accident case be heard in Collin County court?
Almost always, yes — if the crash happened in Collin County, that's where the case is filed. Collin County's civil district courts are at the Russell A. Steindam Courts complex on Bloomdale. Kent has practiced in front of these judges for years and knows the local procedures, mediator preferences, and jury tendencies that out-of-county lawyers don't.
-
I was hit on US-380 / Highway 5 — does that change anything?
Highway 380 east-west and SH-5 north-south are McKinney's most reconstructed corridors and unfortunately also our most-trafficked crash zones, especially around the Lake Forest, Custer, and Hardin overpasses. We've handled crashes at most of these intersections — local context matters when negotiating with insurance adjusters who know exactly how dangerous a given turn is.
-
What if I was hurt at one of the McKinney corporate campuses or new developments?
McKinney's growth — Craig Ranch, Adriatica, the rebuild of Highway 5, the new corporate park along 121 — has created a lot of mixed-use construction sites and contractor traffic. Workplace and premises injuries on construction projects are common; many involve subcontractor relationships that mean you may have a third-party claim in addition to (or instead of) workers' comp.
