A Serious Injury Could Be a Personal Injury

A personal injury may not only be determined by the type and severity of the injury itself but also by:

• The circumstances under which the injury occurred
• The specific actions of those who contributed to the injury in some way
• How the injury has impacted you, financially or otherwise

Some of the types of injuries that may be severe and warrant a personal injury claim include:

• Spinal cord injury
• Traumatic brain injury
• Broken bones
• Harm to internal organs

Symptoms of injuries can vary on a case-by-case basis and some of the symptoms you or your loved one experiences may determine whether you want to pursue legal action. Some possible medical outcomes of a serious injury include:

• Chronic pain
• Long-term or permanent physical impairment
• Disfigurement
• Secondary effects of physical impairment or pain, such as difficulty exercising, leading to adverse health conditions.

If you believe that your injury ranges beyond the designation of “minor,” you may want to consider your legal options to pursue financial compensation for your losses.

A Doctor Can Assess Your Injuries

Seeing a doctor after an accident can help you assess your injuries. A physician can provide a diagnosis and treatment plan. You will want to start treatment as soon as possible so you can reach your maximum medical recovery. 

Following through with your treatment can also support your compensation claim. If you forgo medical care, an insurer may argue that you worsened your injuries. They could then undervalue or deny your claim. Do not let an at-fault party get away with causing your losses. 

Medical documentation is key to linking your injuries to your accident, which can help us go after what you deserve. It can also help us calculate your losses, especially if you need ongoing care. You will want your settlement to include future medical expenses.

Determining Liability May Be Key for Your Lawsuit

The American Bar Association (ABA) explains that determining fault may be central to whether you bring or win a personal injury lawsuit. A lawyer may be able to explain fault as it pertains to your injuries and tell you who they believe is at fault for your losses.

The ABA goes on to explain that somebody may be negligent, and may be at fault for your injuries, if:

• They contributed to your injuries.
• They were careless or thoughtless in one or more actions that contributed to your injuries.
• They did not act in a way that a reasonable person would, and their unreasonable action contributed to your injury.

A key consideration related to negligence is that a person does not have to intend to harm you to be at fault. The nature of the incident that led to your injuries will almost certainly play a key role in your lawsuit. Some of the scenarios under which negligence may lead to a serious injury include:

• A motor vehicle accident, of which there were more than 17,000 in El Paso in 2018, according to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
• A workplace accident, whether it occurs in an oilfield, construction zone, or other work settings
• A slip and fall or trip and fall accident
• Any injury caused by a dangerous premises
• A pedestrian accident
• A dog bite or other animal-related accident
• Medical error resulting in injury

There may be several other instances in which you or a loved one were injured, and negligence is to blame. If you believe that your injuries stem from negligence, or if you want clarity on the matter, then a personal injury lawyer in El Paso could be able to help you.

Determining Compensation in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Any compensation that you win will generally depend on how your injuries occurred, including the specific type of negligence that caused them. Some of the possible types of compensation that you may be entitled include:

• Healthcare-related costs that you incurred because of negligence
• The income you lost because of your injuries
• Pain and suffering caused by your injuries or the event that caused your injuries

You could be entitled to additional awards whether you bring a personal injury or wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one. 

Only certain family members have a right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Usually, the estate representative or a spouse, child, or parent can take legal action. However, our lawyers can help determine your legal options and fight for fair compensation while you take time to grieve with your family.

Texas Law Limits Your Time to Take Legal Action
