Danny Daniel is a founding partner of Daniel Stark Injury Lawyers and a Texas personal injury attorney who represents injury victims throughout the state. For more than 20 years, he has focused his practice on helping people whose lives have been impacted by serious accidents caused by negligence. Known for advocating against powerful insurance companies, Danny fights to help his clients recover the full compensation they deserve. 

Danny handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, dog bites, wrongful death, nursing home abuse, traumatic brain injuries, catastrophic injuries, oil field accidents, premises liability, drug injuries, sexual assault & trafficking, and mass tort litigation.  

For Danny, this work is personal. After losing his father in a trucking accident, Danny gained firsthand insight into the emotional and financial challenges families face after a life-altering injury or wrongful death. That experience continues to drive his mission of helping clients rebuild their lives while pursuing justice. 

Danny earned his Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University before receiving his Juris Doctor from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2000, the same year he was licensed to practice law in Texas. He is a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the State Bar of Texas, and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. 

Outside the courtroom, Danny is an instrument-rated commercial pilot and entrepreneur. He also served as the founding president of the Bryan–College Station chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, where he frequently speaks on leadership, innovation, and law-firm growth.

  • Annual Car Seat Safety Event - For over 15 years, Daniel Stark has partnered with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension & TxDOT to offer free car seat safety inspections, replacements, and installations for members of the community in Killeen and Bryan/College Station, Texas. This initiative started when Danny was a young father, and he realized how difficult it was to install a car seat correctly. This gave him the idea to help the broader community by sponsoring car seat inspections, replacing unsafe seats, and giving away free seats to those in need. Since then, the firm has conducted over 1,890 car seat inspections and given away 1,158 car seats., 2025

  • Project Axtell (Supporting Volunteer Fire Departments) - The initiative was started after Daniel Stark gave a Be Remarkable award to Amanda Ruble. She was fundraising for her local fire department to be able to afford a new Jaws of Life unit. The department's old tools were unreliable, and because of that, the local dispatch would no longer send them on calls. This meant that the people in their community would have to wait way too long for fire / EMS in the event of a crash or incident. Danny was very touched by Amanda's story, and days later, he decided to donate the rest of the money that the department needed to buy the tools - $15,000. The department was able to buy the tools they needed, and we later made a video about it. The next two years, we held a contest for a department to win $5,000 to purchase gear that they needed., 2021
