Establishing Liability

For back injury claims filed in Travis, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific Pflugerville locations, including FM 685 (Pecan Street) through central Pflugerville.

Back injury claims require MRI or CT imaging to document the structural damage and correlate it with the accident. Insurance companies often argue that back problems are preexisting or degenerative rather than caused by the accident. Medical experts who can distinguish between age related changes and acute traumatic injury are essential for overcoming this defense and connecting the accident to the current condition.

Relevant Texas Law

Residents of Pflugerville pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.

Texas follows the "eggshell plaintiff" rule, meaning a defendant takes the plaintiff as they find them, including any preexisting spinal conditions that were aggravated by the accident. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows recovery for past and future medical expenses, including surgery, injections, physical therapy, and pain management. The collateral source rule under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 41.0105 limits recovery of medical expenses to amounts actually paid or incurred.
