Proving Liability
In Texas, a person injured by the wrongful acts of another can file a personal injury claim. Most personal injury cases are based on a negligence theory. Negligence is the failure of another to act as a reasonable person would under the circumstances.
Texas personal injury attorneys prove negligence by establishing the following elements:
- The other party owed a duty not to cause you harm
- They breached their duty to you
- The wrongful acts directly caused your injury
- Your injury would not have occurred if not for the wrongful acts
- You suffered damages
Proving your case and knowing whom to sue is often complicated. Our knowledge of Texas law and proven experience in and out of the courtroom helps ensure the law is on your side.
