Regardless of the severity, the physical and emotional trauma of a personal injury can be devastating to your health and your productivity. Moreover, the aftermath of a motor vehicle accident or the bodily harm caused by a defective consumer product can wreak havoc on your financial well-being. Personal injury laws in Texas specify the processes of assessing damage and determining liability for any wrongful act that causes accidental or intentional injury to another party. A qualified attorney who understands the intricacies of these processes can help you get just compensation for your injuries and put you back on the road to recovery.
Common Misconceptions about Personal Injury Lawsuits
Most of the commonly held misconceptions regarding personal injury law stem from fear of an unfamiliar judicial system and exposure to false or misleading information gleaned from various media sources.
- Sometimes people assume that a personal injury specifically involves bodily harm caused by a negligent act. In fact, an injury can refer to physical harm as well as damage to your reputation or economic livelihood. Negligence is only one of three types of injury claims that also involve intentional or willful acts and issues of strict liability.
- Despite a common misconception, filing a personal injury lawsuit in Texas does not guarantee a favorable settlement. A knowledgeable attorney from The Duke Firm can examine the merits of your case and explain the likelihood of successful outcome.
- Apart from unrealistic TV dramatizations, many personal injury lawsuits in Texas do not involve a long court battle. While some of the more complicated cases may require litigation, a majority settle out of court through negotiation.
