If you were recently injured or someone you loved was killed in a tragic accident in Houston, consult with our attorneys to find out if you have a personal injury case. Texas law gives injured victims the right to file civil lawsuits against those who negligently or wrongfully cause their injuries. The definition of negligence is the failure to act with proper care, or a level of care that a reasonable person would have used in the same or similar circumstances. If someone behaves negligently and this gives someone else an injury, the negligent person can be held financially responsible (liable) for the victim’s injuries and losses.
