Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law

In Texas, personal injury law encompasses any harm caused to an individual due to another party's negligence, including physical, emotional, and financial damages. To pursue a valid personal injury claim, you must establish four key elements:

  1. The negligent party owed you a duty of care.
  2. The defendant breached that duty through negligence.
  3. The negligence directly caused your injuries.
  4. You suffered harm as a result of the defendant's negligence.

Damages You May Recover in a Successful Personal Injury Claim

In a successful personal injury claim, you may be entitled to recover various types of damages:

  • Economic Damages: These represent the financial losses incurred due to someone else's negligence, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and rehabilitation costs.
  • Non-Economic Damages: These encompass intangible losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life, which can be challenging to quantify but are equally significant.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases involving malicious intent or egregious negligence, punitive damages may be awarded to deter similar behavior in the future.

In Texas, there are generally no caps on the monetary value of damages recoverable in a successful personal injury claim, with the exception of medical malpractice claims.
