Understanding Personal Injury Law in San Antonio
Personal injury law covers a wide range of incidents, from car crashes to workplace accidents, medical malpractice, and more. In San Antonio, these cases are governed by Texas law, which allows victims to pursue damages when they suffer injuries due to another party’s negligence or intentional actions.
Key categories of personal injury cases include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall incidents
- Workplace injuries
- Medical malpractice
- Product liability
- Wrongful death
Each type involves different legal challenges, and a tailored approach is necessary for success.
The Role of Negligence in Texas Personal Injury Claims
Negligence is the legal foundation for most personal injury claims. To win a case, your attorney must prove:
- Duty of care – The defendant owed you a legal duty.
- Breach of duty – That duty was violated.
- Causation – The breach caused your injuries.
- Damages – You suffered actual harm as a result.
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages altogether.
What to Do After an Injury in San Antonio
After an injury, it’s important to take the following steps:
- Seek immediate medical attention
- Document everything (photos, witness info, medical records)
- Report the incident to authorities if necessary
- Avoid giving statements to insurers without legal counsel
- Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible
Prompt action can preserve vital evidence and protect your rights from the start.
Damages You May Be Eligible to Recover
A successful personal injury claim can help you recover both economic and non-economic damages, including:
| Type of Damages | Examples |
|---|---|
| Medical Expenses | Hospital bills, rehab, medication |
| Lost Wages | Missed work, reduced earning capacity |
| Pain and Suffering | Physical pain, emotional trauma |
| Property Damage | Repairs or replacement of damaged items |
| Loss of Consortium | Impact on personal relationships |
If the at-fault party acted with gross negligence or malice, punitive damages may also be awarded.
