All personal injury claims in Texas require proving four elements, that the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, that the defendant breached that duty, that the breach caused the plaintiff injuries, and that the plaintiff suffered actual damages as a result. The specific duty of care varies depending on the type of case, but the fundamental framework applies across all personal injury claims. Strong cases combine compelling liability evidence with thorough documentation of all damages including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Relevant Texas Law
Residents of Dallas pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003 establishes a two year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, making timely filing essential. Texas follows a modified comparative fault system under Chapter 33, barring recovery when the plaintiff is more than 50 percent responsible for their injuries. Texas does not cap actual damages in most personal injury cases, though exemplary damages are capped under Section 41.008 at the greater of $200,000 or two times economic damages plus an amount equal to noneconomic damages up to $750,000.
