What Is a Personal Injury?

Personal injury law is also sometimes referred to as tort law. It is a type of case that allows a victim to pursue financial compensation from a negligent party following an accident.

If a reckless or negligent party caused an accident or incident that injured someone, the injury victim may be able to hold that party financially responsible for the losses they’ve suffered. That may include medical expenses, loss of income, pain, and suffering, property damage, and more.

Common Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

The attorneys at Goldenzweig Law Group, PLLC have the skills necessary to handle a wide variety of personal injury cases, including those related to:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Premises liability claims
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Dog bites
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect 
  • Medical malpractice
  • Wrongful death

What Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim is a legal means for recovering money to cover both measurable losses and subjective, intangible losses, such as the loss of quality of life. The value of a personal injury claim may depend on the severity of a victim’s injuries and the circumstances of the accident itself.

In Texas, if the victim is partially responsible for causing the accident, that can impact the compensation they are entitled to receive. Texas also limits the amount of money some victims may collect by placing a cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases.

Victims may be able to recover money for losses such as:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Loss of earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Property damage

Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims

Like most states, Texas limits the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. The state’s statute of limitations is typically two years from the date of the accident. Claims filed after the two-year deadline will almost certainly be thrown out of court without ever being heard. Victims are then left with no recourse for recovering compensation for their injuries and losses from the at-fault party, even if they have a strong case.

Steps to Take to Protect Your Rights After an Accident

The actions you take in the hours, weeks, and months following a severe accident can significantly impact your personal injury claim. 

You can help protect your right to compensation by following these tips:

  • Get medical help right away. If you are hurt, do not wait to get medical treatment. Some injuries can appear minor and escalate into a life-threatening condition before you know it. Medical documentation that links your injury to the accident can also be crucial in a personal injury claim.
  • Follow your doctor’s advice. Medical treatment of severe injuries usually involves following a care plan. Be sure to keep all appointments and follow your physician’s instructions.
  • Keep notes about your recovery. You can use a journal to document the recovery process and how your injuries impact your daily life. Keep a record of your pain levels and how your injuries affect your ability to do everyday tasks, and don’t be afraid to talk about your struggles. This can help you process your injuries and may be used as evidence in your claim.
  • Keep documentation of everything. Keep copies of accident scene photos, medical expenses, medical records, repair bills, accident reports, and receipts for out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident.
  • Contact an attorney. One of the first people you should contact following an accident is an attorney. They can begin working on your case right away and handle communications with the insurance companies to help uphold your rights and protect your claim.
