    When Can I Sue for Injuries in Midland?

    If you were injured by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to file a lawsuit for compensation. The defendant (the at-fault party) is considered “negligent” any time that their failure to use the proper care or skill leads to your injury. Some examples of negligence include a speeding driver who breaks traffic laws or a building owner that did not put lights in a dangerous stairwell. You can also sue if someone else intentionally injured you, such as in cases of assault and battery. However, proving intent is often harder than proving negligence, and you do not usually need to go above and beyond to prove intent to get the compensation you need.

    Negligence lawsuits have particular elements you must prove to win your case. First, you must show that the defendant owed you a duty. This is some level of care they should have provided you, such as with medical malpractice cases, or rules they should have followed, such as with car crash lawsuits. Second, you must show how they breached that duty. This shows the court what the defendant did wrong that caused your injuries. Third, you must prove that these errors actually caused your injury. If the injuries would have occurred anyway or the negligence was too far removed from the injury, you might have trouble claiming damages. Lastly, you must prove the damages you faced.

    Types of Injury Lawsuits in Midland, TX

    Personal injury cases are typically divided into several groups or types of personal injury cases. Each one has different ways that the case is usually proved, and our attorneys commonly litigate cases in any of these areas:

    Car Accident Cases

    Car accident lawsuits are some of the most common personal injury cases. While you may want to file with your insurance company if you only suffered property damage, personal injury could be more complex and lead to complex damages that should be handled in a lawsuit. These cases are especially common in cases of severe injury or cases where the victim faces considerable pain and suffering since pain and suffering damages are usually not available through insurance claims.
    If your accident was caused by a truck driver and a negligent trucking company, you could be entitled to substantial compensation for your case and should call our law offices immediately.

    Defective Product Cases

    Injuries from dangerous and defective products make up another common area of personal injury cases. These lawsuits deal with injuries caused by products with unsafe designs or problems with their manufacturing or assembly that lead to serious injuries. These cases also deal with products that had insufficient warnings to prevent injury during normal use or prevent obvious misuse.

    Medical Malpractice Cases

    If your doctor failed to diagnose your illness or condition, delayed your diagnosis, misdiagnosed you, or committed errors during surgery, you could be entitled to file a lawsuit for your injuries. The harm done in your case might not be noticeable if you do not work in the medical profession, and it is important to get a second opinion and talk to an attorney as soon as you think you might have suffered from medical negligence.

    Oil Worker Injuries

    Texas is home to thousands of oil industry workers who face the risks of serious on-the-job accidents. If you or a loved one was injured in an accident at an oil refinery, on an oil barge boat, on an offshore drilling platform, or anywhere else in the oil industry, call our law offices today.
