How can I tell if I have a valid personal injury claim?
A valid personal injury claim means that you have suffered an injury and that someone else is liable for that injury. In Texas, a person with a valid personal injury claim may be able to receive compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and even pain and suffering. The first step in determining if you have a valid personal injury claim is to determine who is at fault. In most cases, this requires identifying the party who is responsible for the accident or incident that led to the injury. The responsible party can be an individual, an organization, or a governmental entity. Once the responsible party has been identified, an injured person must then prove that the other party’s negligence or wrongdoing caused the injury. This means that the injured person must be able to demonstrate how the responsible party’s negligence directly resulted in the injury. In addition, an injured person must demonstrate that the injury resulted in losses. This means that the injury must have caused financial losses, such as medical bills or missed work, or non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering. If a person can meet these criteria and demonstrate that another party is responsible for their injury, then they likely have a valid personal injury claim and may be entitled to compensation.
