Dallas Personal Injury Lawyer: Personal injury defined

"Personal Injury" is part of a large area of the law known as "torts" (any civil wrong for which the law affords a remedy, other than breach of contract) and includes any physical, mental, or emotional damage done to another for which damages may be assessed. It also includes wrongful death.

Most personal injury cases are predicated upon "negligence," that is, conduct which fails to rise to the level of what a reasonably prudent person would or would not do.

There are two major elements to any personal injury case: liability (that is, proving "negligence" was committed by the other party) and damages (proving that there were damaging effects stemming from the negligence).

Common categories of damages include physical pain, mental anguish (worry, anxiety, stress, fear, etc.), medical bills, lost wages, and, in some cases, punitive (awarded only in cases involving "malice").

Unfortunately, there is legislation now in effect in twenty states (including Texas) that allows the legislature to limit damages awarded by juries. In fact, in Texas, there was an amendment to the Texas Constitution on September 13, 2003, ("Proposition 12") that now allows the legislature to cap damages in every catagory of personal injury cases.  This will severely restrict the rights of ordinary citizens to be compensated fairly for catastrophic injuries caused by the negligence of careless individuals and corporations and will serve only to increase the already obscene profits of insurance companies.
