San Antonio Personal Injury Lawyers Dedicated to Your Results

Texas Fierce Advocates for Justice

Personal injury accidents in San Antonio can be sudden and jarring, often leading to unexpected and life-changing consequences. Every day, innocent lives are dramatically altered by catastrophic injuries from slip and falls, hazardous property, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, and other types of personal injury incidents.

A simple day of errands and entertainment can put you on the property of dozens of others, all of whom owe you a legal duty, including the local government. Texas’ personal injury laws — part of tort law, which addresses civil wrongs where someone’s actions cause harm — allow injured parties to seek compensation.

However, getting the compensation you deserve is a battle. Victims and their families are often left to pick up the pieces, facing insurmountable medical bills, physical, emotional, and mental suffering, and struggling to adapt to new impairments and disabilities.

When to file
a personal injury claim

Not every injury leads to a personal injury claim. Under Texas law, the difference between an accidental injury and an injury for which you can file a claim for compensation involves several key factors:

Accidental Injury – No claim

  • Purely accidental with no fault, such as tripping over your own feet.
  • No identifiable party responsible for causing harm.
  • Occurs in a context where no one has breached a duty of care.
  • The injury is not severe enough for the victim to sustain financial damages.

Injury with a Case for Compensation – File a personal injury claim or lawsuit:

  • Negligence. The injury resulted from someone’s failure to act with reasonable care. For example, a store owner neglects to clean a spill, leading to a fall.
  • Intentional Harm. The injury was deliberately inflicted by another person.
  • Defective Products. The injury was caused by a product that is found to be inherently dangerous or faulty.
  • Workplace Accidents. Injuries that occur at work where the employer may be at fault or negligent. At the Wyatt Law Firm, we don’t handle workers’ comp claims, but we can refer you to trustworthy attorneys who do. We do handle third-party claims arising from work accidents.
  • Breach of Statutory Duty. Injury arose because an individual or entity failed to comply with specific legal obligations.

If your injury matches the latter scenarios, there may be grounds to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit, seeking compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The best way to find out if you have this type of claim is to call us and schedule a free case evaluation.

Texas Personal Injury Lawyers Answer
Your Common PI Questions – FAQ

In Texas, what are the most common injuries associated with personal injury claims?

Personal injuries leading to a claim or lawsuit are typically what are described as “catastrophic injuries.” These injuries typically happen suddenly with no warning and cause significant life changes and long-term consequences. Paralysis may be the first catastrophic injury that comes to mind, but there are many others. Examples include:

  • Birth Injury
  • Brain injury 
  • Eye injury
  • Facial injury
  • Loss of hearing or sight
  • Amputation
  • Crush injury
  • Nerve damage
  • Neurological damage
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Fatal injuries

In a personal injury case, the most likely at-fault and liable parties include the negligent driver, property owner, business operator, or manufacturer responsible for the unsafe condition or product. Determining liability in any injury accident can take a long time and involve complex processes. The good news is that you don’t have to figure it out. When you hire Wyatt Law Firm, we perform a comprehensive investigation to determine many things, including what parties contributed to your accident. If you want to know who caused your injuries and seek financial recovery, contact us today.

Each case contains unique details and complexities. Most cases settle out of court instead of going to trial. Settlements can take a few months or even around a year. If your case goes to court, it can take a year or even two to resolve. Many factors determine how long a case will take and if it goes to court or not. While it’s impossible to predict precisely how long your case might take, our San Antonio personal injury lawyers will keep you updated every step of the way.

There is no definitive average number for a personal injury settlement because each case is unique and influenced by factors such as the severity of the injury, medical costs, loss of income, and the impact on quality of life. Examples include the specific nature of the injuries, the circumstances of the accident, and the long-term effects on the victim’s lifestyle. Generally, the more serious and impactful the injury, the higher the potential settlement, as it aims to cover more substantial medical treatments and compensate for greater losses in earnings and life quality.
