Dallas Personal Injury and Accident Law
When a person is injured, tort law will govern whether that person may be compensated for
the personal injury, the amount of compensation that may be recovered as a result of the
accident, as well as which parties will be liable for the personal injury. Texas tort law, also
known as personal injury law, comes from federal and state codes, as well as judicial opinions
from prior cases. Jonathan LeBlanc is a Dallas personal injury lawyer who knows Texas tort
law.
Types of Dallas Personal Injury and Accident Claims
Personal injuries constitute most injury claims in Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas in
Texas. Personal injury suits may arise from an automobile or car accident (auto accident),
motorcycle accident, construction accident, plane or boating accident, medical malpractice
injury, animal or dog bite, defective or dangerous product, "slip and fall" accident, or
intentional assault. A number of personal injury claims also arise from injuries sustained in the
workplace, including complications from industrial diseases (asbestosis, asthma, etc.),
repetitive strain injury, spinal cord injury, and occupational stress. Other personal injury claims
include suits for libel, slander, defamation and property damage. Jonathan LeBlanc is a Dallas
personal injury lawyer who handles all types of personal injury and accident claims.
Bringing a Dallas Personal Injury and Accident Claim
If the negligent, reckless or intentional acts of another causes a personal injury, injured parties
or their loved ones should obtain legal representation as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
Even if it appears that no one is at fault for the accident, or that injuries are minor, it may be
beneficial to seek legal advice before the statute of limitations runs out and precludes further
legal action. An injured victim may be able to recover through a formal civil court proceeding,
or through informal settlement negotiations. If a victim chooses to pursue a civil court action,
they generally must file the lawsuit in the county where the injury occurred. A Dallas
personal injury lawyer is available at The LeBlanc Law Firm to provide you the advice you
need.
Injuries in Dallas, Texas
Most personal injury cases in Dallas, Texas and surrounding areas require the injured party
(the "plaintiff") to prove that the opposing party (the "defendant") acted negligently. In order to
recover under a negligence claim, the injured party must generally prove that: (1) the
defendant owed a legal duty to that party; (2) the legal duty was breached by the defendant;
and (3) the defendant's actions caused the injury. Generally, every citizen has the duty to act
as a reasonably prudent person under similar circumstances. Defendants breach this duty if
they fail to act with reasonable care. If the personal injury would not have occurred but for
the defendant's breach, and there is no intervening event that breaks the chain of causation,
the defendant will be found negligent. If a court determines that a defendant was negligent, the
defendant may be liable for the plaintiff's injuries. Contact a Dallas personal injury attorney at
The LeBlanc Law Firm to evaluate your case.
Recovery in Dallas Personal Injury and Accident Lawsuits
An injured party may seek to recover his/her losses in a civil lawsuit as a result of an accident.
Additionally, a victim's family members may also be eligible to recover for losses suffered as a
result of the victim's injuries as a result of an accident. Common types of recovery include:
General Damages. General damages compensate losses related to the injury that are not easily
quantifiable. General damages include compensation for pain and suffering and mental anguish.
Loss of Consortium. The spouse of an injured party may bring a claim for loss of consortium.
Loss of consortium damages compensate the spouse for any lost affection, solace, comfort
and sexual relations which may result after an injury.
Lost Earning Capacity. If an injury has interfered with a party's ability to earn money in the
future, the injured party may be entitled to damages for lost earning capacity. The court will
consider a number of factors in determining how much the individual would have earned in
ensuing years but for the injury.
Lost Wages. An injured party may recover any wages lost from the date of the injury to the
date of settlement or judgment.
Medical Expenses. An injured party may recover medical expenses incurred in connection
with the accident. Injuries can include a spinal cord injury, birth injury, and traumatic injury.
Punitive Damages. The goal of punitive damages is not to compensate the plaintiff, but to
punish the defendant. Punitive damages may be awarded any time the defendant engages in
reckless or intentional wrongdoing.
Wrongful Death. If a victim dies from his/her injuries, family members may bring a wrongful
death action that will compensate them for the loss of the victim.
