Understanding Your Right to Sue
Your right to pursue a personal injury claim after you or a member of your family suffered harm in a personal injury accident is based on the concept of negligence. Negligence consists of the following four elements:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Cause
- Harm
What does this mean? A party or entity owes you a duty of care (typically, this is a duty of care to keep you safe or prevent harm from occurring). The party or entity that owes you a duty of care breaches the duty of care and causes an incident, which directly leads to harm. In other words, if all four elements of negligence are present, the party or entity that breached the duty of care could be liable – meaning that the victim (or his or her family) could sue the liable party or entity.
Let’s consider the most common type of personal injury accidents – car accidents. All drivers owe other parties on the road (including other drivers, bicyclists, and even pedestrians) a duty of care; they must exercise care and caution while driving (and follow all traffic rules and regulations). When drivers breach their duty of care (by speeding, ignoring traffic signals, or simply being reckless), they put innocent parties at risk; their breached duty of care can directly contribute to an incident which could cause harm. If this occurs, the driver could be found negligent and liable for the harm resulting from the incident.
The concept of negligence applies to every personal injury accident. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue based on negligence, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.
Are You Eligible to Recover Compensation?
For some victims of personal injury accidents, the possibility of recovering monetary compensation is enough to encourage them to sue. Yes, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a personal injury accident. What could you be eligible to receive? The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive is strictly based on the details surrounding each claim but could include some of the following:
- Medical expenses – compensation to cover all medical expenses (including past and future/projected care) needed as a direct result of the incident and the injuries sustained
- Lost wages – compensation to cover all income lost as a direct result of the incident and resulting injuries, including projected lost earnings.
- Pain and suffering – compensation for the mental and emotional distress resulting from the incident and the injuries experienced.
- Loss of consortium – compensation awarded for the lost ability to have a normal, family relationship with the victim (typically awarded in cases involving a fatality).
- Funeral and burial expenses – compensation awarded for the costs associated with death services, including funeral and burial services, when the victim dies as a result of his or her injuries.
- Punitive damages – compensation awarded to punish the defendant.
- Legal fees – compensation awarded to cover legal expenses.
If you are interested in learning more about the compensation that you could be eligible to recover if your claim is successful, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately. At Normandie Law Firm, our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim.

How Long Do You Have to Sue?
All claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to pursue their claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the appropriate length of time, they could lose their right to sue. Therefore, understanding the applicable statute of limitations and filing claims on time is essential. How long do you have to file your personal injury claim? In Texas, personal injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their claims. Would you like to learn more about the total length of time that you have to pursue your injury claim? If so, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.
