What Is Personal Injury?
The essence of a personal injury claim is negligence. When another person, company, or even a governmental agency acts irresponsibly, others can get hurt. The injury is typically physical, but it can also be psychological or emotional as well.
"Negligence" is a legal term that indicates failure to exercise an appropriate level of care under the circumstances. Another way of putting it is failing to act as a reasonably sensible individual would. Negligence can be demonstrated through someone's actions (like speeding or driving drunk) or through an omission (such as failing to eliminate a known risk from one's business property).
To win a personal injury case, the victim has to prove that the defendant was negligent. There are four specific elements that are required under Texas legislation:
Possible Damages In a Personal Injury Case
The objective of a personal injury lawsuit is to make the plaintiff whole via financial compensation. This compensation is referred to as damages, and some examples are:
Are There Time Limits to File a Personal Injury Claim?
Your right to file a claim against a negligent party will not last forever. In Texas, personal injury cases are subject to what's called a statute of limitations. This sets a deadline for plaintiffs to submit their claims before they lose the right to do so. For a personal injury, the statute of limitations is two years. In most cases, the clock begins to run when the injury occurs.
However, it's best not to procrastinate taking action on your case. Witnesses' memories can fade over time, proof will be more difficult to obtain, and you could fail to remember critical details if you wait too long. If you or a loved one have been injured, reach out to a dedicated Beaumont personal injury attorney.
