Garland, Texas Personal Injury Lawyer

Other Types of Personal Injury Cases

In addition to situations where people are injured in motor vehicle collisions, our lawyer represents people who have been harmed in a wide variety of circumstances, including.

Defective Products

When a product is dangerous due to a design flaw, a problem in the manufacturing process, or a failure to provide instructions or warnings, people injured by the product may be able to obtain compensation through product liability claims. Our attorney can help consumers hold manufacturers, distributors, or sellers liable for these types of injuries. These cases may involve defective medical devices, dangerous household products, faulty auto parts, and more.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

When dogs attack people, they may inflict serious injuries such as lacerations, infections, nerve damage, and psychological trauma. Our lawyer can help victims address dog bite injuries and hold negligent owners liable for failing to control their animals.

Birth Injuries

When medical professionals fail to follow the correct procedures during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, both a child and mother can suffer serious harm. Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and brain damage may occur because of delayed C-sections, improper use of delivery instruments, or failure to respond to fetal distress. Our attorney can provide the representation needed to ensure that families will be able to address the harm caused by medical negligence and provide ongoing support for a child or mother who has suffered an injury.

Wrongful Death

When negligence or misconduct has led to someone's death, the family members who have been left behind may take action to secure compensation through a wrongful death claim. The spouse, children, or parents of a deceased person may recover compensation that will address the financial and emotional losses they have experienced, including lost income the deceased person would have used to support their family, loss of companionship from a spouse or parent, funeral and burial expenses, emotional trauma, and more. Our lawyer works to help families obtain the compensation they need to move forward after tragic events.

Compensation Available to Injury Victims

A personal injury claim may address two primary categories of damages:

Economic Damages

These are the financial losses that a person experiences due to an injury. They may include current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation and therapy costs, lost wages during a period of recovery, and reduced earning capacity due to ongoing disabilities. Property damage may also be included in certain cases. All costs related to an injury should be fully repaid, and future costs may also be covered.

Non-Economic Damages

These damages address the human cost of an injury. While these losses may not have a price tag, they are just as real for victims. The compensation a person receives may address their physical pain and suffering, the emotional distress of a traumatic situation and their ongoing recovery, the ways their ability to enjoy their life has been affected, and the impact that physical limitations have had on a person's family.
