Negligence

Negligence is the legal term for the failure of a person or company to live up to the standards of performance which society has a right to expect from each of us. There are countless ways in which a person or company could be negligent, such as a failure to adequately warn of a possible danger, inadequate safety precautions at a job site, or simply failing to pay attention while operating a motor vehicle. If you believe you, a loved one, or your property has been injured or damaged by the negligence of another, you should contact us immediately. You can call and speak with an attorney, or use the Case Evaluation button to confidentially submit information about your case and get a same-day response.

Important Considerations:

  • Time is of the essence in a negligence case. It is imperative that witness statements, photographs, and other evidence be captured before they become stale or unavailable. In addition, the short time frame in which personal injury claims can be brought is always a concern.

  • Recent tort reform in Texas has limited the maximum possible recovery in many cases, but an exceptional attorney might be able to circumvent the caps in some circumstances.

  • There are strict procedural requirements that apply to many negligence claims. If the requirements are not met, it is possible that a valuable claim can be lost without any means of reviving it.

  • Contact an attorney immediately. There is simply no substitute for an experienced practitioner who understands what is required to put together a winning case and has the financial resources to see a case through to completion.
