A personal injury lawsuit is based on one person being injured because of the negligent actions of another person. A person is negligent if they fail to act with the prudence that a reasonable person would under the same circumstances. Liability can also be founded on behavior that is reckless or intentional. The person liable for the accident is the defendant, while the person bringing the suit is the plaintiff.
The purpose of a personal injury lawsuit is to compensate the victim for their injuries and losses. These are known as “damages.” The amount of compensation awarded to a plaintiff in a successful personal injury claim depends on the extent of their injuries, both physical and emotional.
The law surrounding personal injury lawsuits varies from state to state. That is why it is so important that you seek the advice of a Texas personal injury attorney. Only an attorney versed in Texas personal injury law can properly advise you on your potential claim.
