Proving Negligence

The most important aspect of a personal injury claim is proving there was a party responsible for the injuries and damages. In order to do this, we must prove four elements.

• The person or entity had a duty of care.
• The person or entity breached that duty.
• The breach was the cause of the accident.
• As a result of the accident, you suffered damages.

A simple example of this is that all drivers have a duty to follow traffic rules and to drive safely. If a driver runs a red light, its called a breach of duty. If running the red light caused the person to ram into your car and cause you to be injured, they are now responsible for damages including medical bills, lost wages, and more. In a car accident case, the insurance company or employer of a CDL drivers is where compensation is requested. 

Some of the types of injuries we see include:

• Broken bones.
• Spinal injuries.
• Internal injuries.
• Chest injuries.
• Catastrophic injuries which may result in permanent disability or injuries so severe that the injured person needs lifelong care.
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI).
• Wrongful death claim

There Is A Deadline for A Filing a Personal Injury Claim!

Texas law requires a claim for compensation for a personal injury or wrongful death to be presented within two years after the date of the injury. There are very few exceptions to this rule.

If you miss the deadline for filing your claim, you will lose the opportunity to pursue compensation for your injuries. It does matter how severely you were injured, if you let the time pass, you will have to suffer without the hope of compensation.
