What is Personal Injury Law in Texas?

In Texas, personal injury law addresses legal claims where an individual is harmed due to another party’s negligence or intentional misconduct. This area of law seeks to provide compensation for damages resulting from injuries or losses caused by accidents, such as those involving vehicles or unsafe premises. Personal injury law aims to hold responsible parties accountable and ensure that victims receive fair compensation for their suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and other related losses.

Key Aspects of Personal Injury Law in Texas:

​

Negligence Claims: These involve proving that another party’s failure to exercise reasonable care directly caused the injury. Examples include car accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and medical malpractice.
Intentional Torts: These cases involve harm caused by deliberate actions, such as assault or defamation, where the injured party seeks compensation for intentional wrongdoing.
Damages: Personal injury claims may seek compensation for various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Legal Process: The personal injury process includes filing a claim, negotiating with insurance companies, and potentially going to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Statute of Limitations: Personal injury claims must be filed within a specific time frame, known as the statute of limitations, which varies depending on the type of injury and case.
