Que es una lesion personal?

If you have been in a car accident and suffered an injury, you must understand the personal injury field. Understanding this concept will aid you in filing your case and choice of personal injury attorneys.

A personal injury refers to harm caused by someone's actions to another individual's body, mind, or emotions and can lead to loss of life. This is opposed to any personal property damage in the same accident. Personal injury claims are claims filed to recover compensation for emotional hurt from an accident.

The plaintiff in a personal injury claim is the wounded party. On the other hand, the defendant is often the person who caused the injury. If the accident resulted in a person's wrongful death, the plaintiffs would be the deceased's estate's representatives. 

From the above, it is clear that people suffer personal injuries from:

• Car, truck, and bus accidents 
• Slip and falls (premises liability)
• Medical malpractice
• Construction accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Defective products

Clearly, accidents of any form are the primary causes of personal injuries in Texas.
