Understanding What Personal Injury Means and What a Personal Injury Attorney Can do for You

“Personal injury” is a legal term relating to a classification of law involving any sort of physical injury along with any and all “damages” suffered by the injury victim. Taken altogether, damages include physical and emotional distress and other elements that can be considered compensatory that produce the victim’s personal loss.

The person or entity that caused the accident can be legally required to pay the victim. This person’s liability for the damages can be the result of an overt act on the liable defendant’s part (known as willful action) or inaction (negligence). When someone suffers an injury, Texas Law states that the person, or plaintiff, who suffered the injury has the legal right to seek monetary relief from the defendant responsible for the injury.

However, the personal injury laws in Texas are based on rules known as the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code. And nowhere in the code does it say that an injured party (or plaintiff) is automatically owed anything by the defendant. Or to put it another way, just because someone hurt you, doesn’t mean you can’t get the money without a fight. Where do you think the popular words “sue me” came from? This most important, aspect of Texas personal injury law is also the most generally misunderstood. Just because someone owes you money for damages and harm were done to you that they are responsible for, doesn’t mean they’ll just say “sure, how much do I owe?” Instead, according to these laws, the victim only has the right to seek fair and satisfactory compensation from the perpetrator (or defendant), for the injury they suffered. And that’s why you recover your damages through a civil lawsuit.

Personal injury laws in our state, like all civil and criminal laws in every state throughout the US, assume the innocence of the accused until proven guilty. This is why defendants are not automatically forced to give up their money. Rather, the laws require the plaintiff to convince the jury that the other person is guilty. This is called “burden of proof.” It is also necessary for the plaintiff to disprove the defense tactics of defendants as they try to avoid paying the damages the plaintiff seeks. And some call this “burden of dis-proof” the other half of the plaintiff’s job in a personal injury case. And until your burdens satisfy the jury, you won’t be paid a dime.
