Do I Have a Case?

Personal injury law allows the victim of someone else’s negligence to seek restitution in the form of financial compensation for losses, or damages. Pursuing compensation through a personal injury claim involves identifying the at-fault party (the defendant), filing an injury claim with the courts within Texas’ statute of limitations, and proving the defendant is at fault for the victim’s injuries. Hiring personal injury lawyers in San Antonio can significantly improve the victim’s odds of winning an injury claim.

What Is Negligence?

Negligence is the centerpiece of most injury cases. The law holds parties to certain standards of care. Negligence refers to a breach of these standards that causes injuries, deaths or property damages to others. Any action or omission that fails to fulfill the level of care a reasonable and prudent party would have exercised in similar circumstances is negligence. To obtain compensation for your San Antonio personal injury, you or your accident lawyer may have to prove negligence.

  1. The defendant owed you a duty of care. The circumstances surrounding your accident must involve the defendant’s duty to exercise reasonable care. In a doctor-patient relationship, for example, your doctor would have owed you specific standards of care.
  2. The defendant did not fulfill this duty. The defendant must be guilty of some breach of duty, such as a negligent action or omission, along with evidence of the breach to show to a judge or jury.
  3. The defendant caused your injury. The defendant’s negligence must be the proximate cause of the damages for which you are seeking restitution. In other words, you would not have the damages but for the defendant’s breach of duty.

You will not need to prove negligence if your claim satisfies the rules of strict liability. Strict liability means the defendant will take responsibility for your injuries even if he or she was not negligent. Specific types of incidents invoke the doctrine of strict liability in Texas, such as product liability claims. Negligence will not be part of your burden of proof if a defective product caused your injuries.

What is the Time Limit to File a Personal Injury Claim in Texas?

You will not have a valid injury claim in Texas if you do not abide by the state’s strict statute of limitations. Every state has unique laws restricting the time limit on different types of claims. In Texas, the courts take statutes of limitations very seriously, filing after the statute of limitations expires could mean forfeiting your right to any compensation you otherwise might have won. Always contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you do not miss your deadline. In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injuries is generally two years from the date of the accident. The same deadline applies if you are filing a property-damage only claim. If you need to file a wrongful death lawsuit in San Antonio, you have two years from your loved one’s date of death. An important exception is the discovery rule. If you fail to discover your injuries until a date after the accident, the clock will not start ticking until discovery. The legal team from Maloney & Campolo can help you determine your specific deadline to file a lawsuit.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?

An attorney can help you secure fair and full recovery after a serious accident, such as an auto accident, they will go the extra mile to achieve positive results on your behalf. Unlike an insurance company, our trial lawyers work for you and their goal is to obtain justice and restitution for accident victims through aggressive legal services. You should hire a personal injury lawyer if you suffered permanent or catastrophic injuries, if the defendant broke a law (e.g. drunk driving that caused a car crash or an act of violence), or if you lost a loved one due to negligence. These are serious injuries that deserve legal attention. However, hiring a San Antonio personal injury attorney can help your case no matter the details of what happened to you.

Economic and Non-Economic Damages

A successful personal injury claim in San Antonio can provide financial compensation for all your accident-related damages. Texas laws allow injured victims to seek reimbursement for economic and non-economic losses. Economic losses refer to general damages such as medical bills and lost wages, while noneconomic are specific to the individual victim. Damages that can be recovered after your accident include:

  • Medical expenses. All accident-related medical costs, including doctor’s appointments, hospital visits, surgeries, treatments, medications, and medical care.
  • Lost income and earning capacity. Lost wages from missed time at work, as well as loss of future earning capacity due to temporary or permanent disabilities.
  • Pain and suffering. Past and future physical pain and suffering, including emotional distress, mental anguish, psychological trauma, and lost quality or enjoyment of life.
  • Property damages. The costs of property repairs, including repair or replacing wrecked vehicles in car accident cases, or property damage because of a dog bite or animal attack.

Some personal injury lawsuits will also end in punitive damages for the victim. These are additional damages on top of compensatory awards that serve to punish the defendant for gross negligence or malicious intent to harm.
