Arlington, TX Personal Injury Lawyers

Even the mildest injury could have serious health consequences and cause more damage if left untreated. You should get evaluated as soon as possible after an accident so that you can get quick treatment. This also provides a medical record that you can show later as proof that the accident directly caused you injuries and damages.

Seeking treatment can help your case. Our Arlington, TX personal injury lawyers are prepared to guide you through your case, including telling you to get medical treatment so that you have proof of your injuries and are taking steps to get better. Without proof of injuries, you might not have a case.

Negligence Laws in Texas

Proving your injuries is essential in your personal injury claim because you need to show you were injured in order to prove the elements of negligence were present. Your injuries are proof that the standard of care was breached, and you directly suffered as a result of the negligent act. This is what your lawyer will fight to prove after an accident, because Texas follows comparative negligence.

More specifically, Texas law calls their comparative negligence statute proportionate responsibility. This means that if you are found at part liable for what happened, your settlement will be reduced by the percentage you were responsible. If you are found to be over 50 percent at fault for what happened, then you won’t be able to recover compensation at all.

This is why it’s important to have one of our Arlington, TX personal injury attorneys on your side through a claim after an accident. They’ll investigate what happened and gather proof to show you weren’t the party responsible for your accident.
