Personal Injury Lawsuits: More Than Just Motor Vehicle Accidents By: Gordon Russo
While motor vehicle accidents can make up a fair percentage of the caseload for a Dallas personal injury attorney, there are many other types of accidents that qualify for financial remuneration as well. Negligence is an area of the law that is not limited to car accidents. Essentially, anyone seriously injured due to the negligent or willful conduct of another party is entitled to recover monetary damages in Texas for their injury and any related pain and suffering. Indeed, the family of a victim who is killed as the result of another's negligence is also entitled to compensation.
Any time someone is injured, medical care is the first priority. Often, an accident happens so suddenly that the focus is on stabilizing the victim and ensuring appropriate medical care. When police are involved, an accident investigation is also commenced at the same time. However, in the case of a private injury, there may not be a police report upon which to rely. In that event, a personal injury attorney Dallas can be helpful in making certain that crucial evidence is preserved and all relevant facts are uncovered.
By their nature, most accidents are unintentional. Nevertheless, if the injuries were caused by the negligence of another party, the victim is entitled to recover damages. Sometimes accidents occur due to conduct so reckless that the law considers it intentional. And in other incidents, the actions creating an injury are found to have been intended, such as a shooting or an assault. In those instances Texas law provides for the right to recover punitive damages in addition to the compensatory relief already provided.
Once all of the necessary information has been accumulated and analyzed, a Dallas Injury Lawyer can offer an opinion about liability and help plan a course of action to recover damages for injured parties. Typically, the attorney will prepare and serve a formal complaint seeking the intended relief. At the same time, he or she may communicate with any insurance company to explore the possibility of a reasonable settlement without further litigation. In those cases where an appropriate settlement is not forthcoming, the matter proceeds through the Texas court system.
A period of discovery gives each side to a lawsuit an opportunity to gather further information and question the other side about the incident and the injuries that resulted. This discovery process sometimes yields information that gives rise to a cause of action against a third party as well. For instance, a bar that knowingly serves alcohol to a drunk customer may be found liable if the individual served later causes a car accident that results in serious injury. Many times, important facts are learned about an accident during discovery, and that knowledge can become a crucial link to achieving the anticipated goals.
Many people are confused and intimidated by Texas law. They see personal injury law as a complicated maze of seemingly contradictory rules and procedures. A personal injury lawyer Dallas is often able to navigate the litigation through the courts in an expeditious manner as the case is pressed forward to a favorable conclusion that both compensates the victim and upholds the rule of law.(read entire article)(posted on: 2012-01-27)
