Helping Clients With Compensation in Personal Injury Cases in Irving TX

When you suffer an injury as the result of someone else’s negligence, you are considered a victim of personal injury. Whether you were in a car accident, hurt on the job, suffered a pedestrian accident, or injured by a product you were using, it's construed as a personal injury. The legal term personal injury is used to describe all bodily and emotional damage a person may suffer. If you suffered a personal injury because another party behaved carelessly or recklessly, then you may be entitled to financial relief for any of the following:

• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Other motorized transportation
• Product liability
• Premise liability
• Pedestrian accidents
• Construction accidents
• Work related accidents

Negligence Defined

In order to determine whether or not you will be able to make a successful personal injury case, you need to understand the concept of negligence. If your injury was caused by another party’s negligence, then you may have a valid claim. Negligence is most generally described as acting in a careless manner, such that another individual or party is harmed as a result. We all owe other people a duty of care, meaning that we should act in safe and reasonably careful ways. A breach of this duty is considered to be negligence.

Types of Damages

In a successful personal injury case, you may be awarded damages, or monetary compensation. There are two main types of damages that may be won — compensatory and punitive damages.

• Compensatory damages are awarded in order to directly compensate you for your losses.  Typically, compensation for medical bills, lost wages, damaged property, and pain and suffering are included.
• Punitive damages, on the other hand, serve to punish the offenders and deter them from taking the same course of action in the future.

If you have suffered a personal injury, then you likely have the right to claim damages. Contact the Irving TX personal injury attorneys of the Dashner Law Office at 1-877-4-DASH-LAW for a free consultation.  We'll discuss any questions you have and determine your best options for recovery.
