How do you know if you have a personal injury case?
To determine if you have a personal injury case, the first thing you must consider is if your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. If you can prove that negligence caused you damages, it is likely you have a legitimate personal injury case.
Key factors to consider
Duty of Care: Did the other party have a legal obligation to act in a certain way to protect you from harm?
Breach of Duty: Did the other party fail to meet that duty, leading to their actions or inactions causing your injury?
Causation: Can you demonstrate a direct link between the other party’s negligence and the damages you sustained?
Damages: What physical, emotional, or financial harm have you suffered as a result of the injury?
Statute of Limitations: Texas generally has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, meaning you need to file a lawsuit within two years of the incident.
Examples of potential personal injury cases
- Car accident – If your injuries resulted from someone else’s negligent driving.
- Slip and fall injury – If you were injured on someone else’s property due to their failure to maintain a safe environment.
- Medical malpractice – If your injuries resulted from a doctor’s or other medical professional’s negligence.
- Workplace accidents – If you were injured on the job due to your employer’s negligence.
