  1. 5 COMMON PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS IN HOUSTON

  2. Life is beautiful, but it can turn around unexpectedly. When it does, it affects your emotional and physical well-being. If you’ve ever been in an accident, you know what we’re talking about. The traumatic incident jeopardizes the quality of your life, and rebuilding it all can be highly stressful. But you can bring the law on your side by identifying the kind of injury you’re experiencing and obtaining compensation. Here are five common types of personal injury claims you can file in Houston:

  3. 1. Dog Bite Cases Personal injury claims can arise out of any situation. However, some incidents make up for a significant number of claims. Dog bite cases are one of those. According to statistics, more than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs every year in the United States, but only a few cases end up in court. Most are resolved with insurance negotiations since court trials can be lengthy and stressful. Dog bite cases often involve negligence, strict liability, and emotional trauma. Texas, in particular, operates under the one-bite rule law, where the owner is strictly responsible for any injuries caused by their dog. Since dog bite injuries can have significant emotional, financial, and psychological consequences, victims must take proper action to address the circumstances, especially when there was no provocation, and seek the compensation they’re entitled to with an experienced Texas dog bite lawyer.

  4. 2. Car Accidents Car accidents are another type of personal injury claim common in Houston. Victims often file claims to recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and emotional suffering due to the accident. Reckless, inattentive, or distracted driving is to blame. These accidents affect all involved parties for years to come.

  5. 3. Slip and Fall Accidents Another common type of personal injury claim is a slip and fall accident. These incidents occur when you slip, trip, or fall on poorly maintained commercial, residential, and industrial properties. According to the Premises Liability Law, property owners are responsible for the damages arising from any injuries sustained on their premises due to potential hazards.

  6. 4. Workplace Injuries Another major type of personality claim is workplace accidents. Houston is a hub for shipping, construction, and oil and gas industries, creating a higher-than- average risk for occupational hazards. While worker’s comp is a game-changer, some cases involve third-party negligence like slip and fall, overexertion, unsafe working conditions, inadequate training, and equipment malfunction, making it essential to file a personal injury lawsuit.

  7. 5. Medical Malpractice Medical malpractice involves the negligence of a healthcare personnel/ facility causing harm to a patient. It’s when the provider doesn’t act reasonably and fails to maintain the standards of care. Common scenarios include misdiagnosis, medication errors, improper treatment, surgical errors, childbirth injuries, etc. Indeed, Houston is home to world-class medical facilities, but mistakes can happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. When they do, victims can pursue compensation to protect their rights.
