What Counts as a Personal Injury Case?

A personal injury case arises when one party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct causes harm to another. In Plano and throughout Texas, common causes of personal injury include:

Your injury doesn’t have to be catastrophic to warrant legal action. If another party is liable, Texas law gives you the right to pursue compensation.

Negligence and Liability in Texas Personal Injury Law

Personal injury claims hinge on the principle of negligence. Texas courts require the injured party to establish four key elements:

  1. Duty – The other party had a legal obligation to act safely.
  2. Breach – They failed to uphold that duty.
  3. Causation – Their actions caused your injuries.
  4. Damages – You suffered financial, physical, or emotional harm.

Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule. If you are less than 51% responsible, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of fault.
