Remember, our injury attorneys are here to help. When you hire a personal injury attorney in San Antonio to help you after an accident or injury, you greatly increase the likelihood that you will recover full compensation for the damages you have suffered.
Establishing Negligence in Your Lawsuit
If you want to win your case, you must be able to show that your injury was the result of negligence.
Texas law requires people, companies, and entities to act with a certain standard of care. This means when a person or party fails to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would excise under the same circumstances, they are considered negligent. If that negligence causes injury, death, or property damage, then the victim can file a lawsuit.
It is important to remember that negligence can consist of action as well as an omission to act. If a person failed to take reasonable actions that would have prevented your accident or injury, you can sue them for your damages.

These are the foundations for winning a personal injury case. To meet the above criteria, you will need evidence, detailed records, and witnesses’ statements if available. Thomas J. Henry Law will make sure your case is built in a way that puts you in the best possible position to win your lawsuit.
