7 Most Common Personal Injury Claims

Mar 12, 2024

Despite stringent personal injury laws in Texas, the number of personal injury cases remains persistent, often stemming from the negligence of others. Fortunately, Texas law ensures that those responsible for negligence compensate the injured parties for their losses.

In this post, we explore some of the most common types of personal injury claims victims pursue in Texas:

Product Liability Claims

Thousands of injuries occur annually in Texas due to defective products. Manufacturers in Texas are obligated to produce safe products, and consumers have the right to file product liability claims if this duty is breached.

Slip and Fall Claims

These injuries commonly occur in public places in Texas, often due to negligence by government agencies, businesses, organizations, or property owners.

Vehicle Accident Claims

Vehicle accidents are frequent causes of personal injury in Texas, ranging from minor to severe injuries and even fatalities. Common causes include distracted driving, drunk driving, poor road maintenance, and adverse weather conditions.

Assault

Assault, while a criminal offense, can also result in civil lawsuits in Texas where victims seek compensation for medical expenses resulting from bodily harm.

Medical Malpractice

Victims of medical malpractice in Texas must prove they did not receive adequate care or proper treatment from a healthcare provider. This often requires expert medical testimony, underscoring the need for a personal injury lawyer’s assistance.

Work-Related Injuries

Employers in Texas are legally obligated to maintain safe work environments. Employees injured due to unsafe conditions can file claims for injuries or illnesses resulting from workplace hazards.

Dog Bites

Dog bite incidents in Texas, particularly affecting children in residential areas, hold dog owners liable for injuries caused by their pets.

Have You Been Injured Due to Negligence in Texas?

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries due to someone else’s negligence in Texas, you have the right to seek compensation through a personal injury claim.
