Understanding Personal Injury Claims
Personal injury claims are legal disputes that arise when one person suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. The key elements of a personal injury claim include:
- Duty of Care: The defendant had a legal duty to act in a certain way toward the plaintiff.
- Breach of Duty: The defendant breached that duty by acting or failing to act in a certain way.
- Causation: The defendant’s actions or inactions caused the plaintiff’s injury.
- Damages: The plaintiff suffered actual harm or losses because of the injury.

Hillsboro Personal Injury FAQ
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Hillsboro?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury.
Because the statute of limitations can be different depending on several legal exceptions – including injuries to minors, delayed discovery, and more – it’s important to bring your case to the attention of a qualified lawyer to preserve your right to file.
What Should I Do If I’m Injured in an Accident?
If you are injured in an accident, seek medical attention immediately. Document the scene, gather contact information from witnesses, and report the incident. Contacting an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible is essential to protect your rights.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Partially at Fault?
Yes, Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How Is the Value of My Personal Injury Case Determined?
The value of your case depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the degree of negligence involved. Any physical and financial damages you are likely to incur in the future because of your injuries can also increase case value. Our attorneys evaluate all aspects of your case to determine its value and work to maximize your compensation.
