WHO IS LIABLE FOR YOUR INJURIES

To Improve Your Chances of Winning Your Civil Claim

To improve your chances of winning your civil claim, contact our McAllen Personal Injury Law Firm. The Accident Lawyers at J.A. Davis & Associates, LLP, have extensive experience helping injured accident victims from all walks of life; we will hold the responsible parties accountable. Vital to winning any accident injury claim is accurately identifying and proving the negligence of the at-fault party and the harm you have suffered from that person’s reckless actions in Hidalgo County.

What is Negligence?

Most all personal injury claims are based on the legal principle of negligence, so we have to prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care and is in breach of that duty by having caused you harm. Once negligence is established, you can sue for damages: by filing an injury case, you can seek fair compensation for the injuries, property damages, medical expenses and other types of damages.

TEXAS LAW YOU SHOULD KNOW

Legal Concepts to Be Familiar With

Texas uses a standard called modified comparative negligence to determine liability. If you are partially responsible for your injuries — meaning you carry 51 percent or more liability — you cannot recover damages. Personal injury victims who are not primarily responsible for their injuries are eligible to receive damages proportional to the fault of other parties; 65 percent liability equates to 65 percent of potential damages, for example.

Also to be taken into account is Texas’s statute of limitations, which allows PI victims two years from the date of their accident to file a suit. Should you try to sue after this period, you will likely be too late to recover compensation from the at-fault party.

Compensation for Damages: What Can You Expect?

Economic Damages

  • Tangible losses, measurable and quantifiable — all medical bills, lost present and future wages, and property damage.

Non-Economic Damages

  • Intangible damages, harder to pin down — pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, loss of consortium, and loss of joy of life.

Punitive Damages

  • Assessed to punish the defendant, not to compensate the victim — awarded when the defendant acted in a grossly negligent, reckless, or intentional manner. The purpose is to deter others from making the same mistakes.
