Negligence means that someone didn’t take reasonable action to prevent an injury or was reckless and caused an injury. For example, if a driver is speeding and hits you, causing you a head injury, they may be considered negligent. We may also be able to say they are liable, which means they may be legally responsible for causing your injuries. Under Texas law, if someone’s negligence causes your injuries, you may have a legal claim. This means you can work with an attorney to have that person found liable, and you can seek compensation for your injuries.
