What Is a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury claim is a legal action in which you pursue compensation for your injuries. You can demand compensation from the person, persons, or entity that caused the accident or should have prevented it from happening. Many claims can be settled through negotiation. If the liable parties refuse to pay what’s fair, your lawyer can take your claim to court.
If you have questions about whether you qualify for a personal injury case, talk with a Shadow Creek Ranch personal injury lawyer as soon as you can. We can review your situation and help you understand your legal options.

Texas Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims
In Texas, there are clear rules that dictate how long you have after an accident to bring a personal injury lawsuit. These rules are known as “statutes of limitations.” After the deadline, you could lose the right to pursue compensation, regardless of the facts of your case.
In general, you have two years from the date of the injury to bring a personal injury claim. If someone passes away because of injuries, their loved ones have two years from the date of their death to bring a wrongful death claim. There are some exceptions to these rules, which our attorneys can explain.
What Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?
If someone else caused your injury through recklessness or negligence, they might owe you money.
Following an injury, you could be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills: Personal injury compensation could cover the cost of the treatment you’ve already received and the cost of the care you may need in the future.
- Lost income and earning capacity: An injury can keep you out of work for weeks, months, or even years. Catastrophic injuries can cause permanent disability and affect your income well into the future. A personal injury claim can seek compensation for these losses.
- Loss of household services: When a spouse is injured, the other spouse can lose the care and emotional and financial support they previously provided. In these cases, compensation may be available.
- Loss of enjoyment: An accident can limit your ability to enjoy the hobbies, activities, and life you used to. As part of a claim, you could seek compensation for this loss.
- Disfigurement: Injuries can leave victims with lasting scars. If you suffered permanent disfigurement, you may be able to pursue compensation for its long-term effects.
- Pain and suffering: Through a personal injury claim, you can seek compensation for the subjective value of the physical and emotional pain and suffering you experienced.
