Personal Injury Law

Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law is a broad area of legal practice that attempts to protect the rights of an individual who was injured as the result of another's negligence. In California, personal injury claims can include a car, truck, motorcycle, boat, bus, aviation, or helicopter accident, dog bites, slip and falls, dangerous premises accidents, construction accidents and toxic tort cases.

If you or a member of your family is injured in an accident, a law firm that specializes in personal injuries can guide you through the process of bringing a claim. A personal injury lawyer can be instrumental in helping you collect much-needed compensation to help your family recover. Under California law, injured victims have the right to recover monetary compensation for all the costs and damages associated with the accident. It is the duty of a skilled attorney to prove that your accident was caused directly by another.

My husband is a retired Ford/Vestion employee. We were in an auto accident last year, 10/10/2009 in Dallas, TX and sought legal aid. Our case is about to settle.  We would like to know if there are limitations on compensation for victims in the State of Texas that don't go to trial?  Is Texas a "No Fault State?"  The Negotiator told me $12,000 before the Insurance Adjuster even saw any of my documentation.  I had $20,000 in lost wages alone and $29,000 in medical bills.  This was before she read my personal statement on pain and suffering or considered current loss of wages due to disability.  I am still dealing with Post-Concussion Syndrome taking medication for burning brain sensations, sound and motion hypersensitivities.  I suffer from memory loss which has impeded my ability to do my regular floor nursing job.  Increased mental/physical activity has also increased the burning brain sensations that I experience which have not been controlled by medication at work.
