Understanding Personal Injury Claims: Your Path to Just Compensation

SandonJBSadminBoard Certified, Personal Injury

When negligent actions cause you harm, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries. At Juneau, Boll & Stacy, our Board-Certified personal injury trial attorneys have helped countless victims recover the damages they deserve after life-altering accidents and injuries.

What Constitutes a Personal Injury Case?

Personal injury law covers any situation where you’ve been harmed due to someone else’s negligence or intentional misconduct. These cases arise when another party—whether an individual, business, or organization—fails to exercise reasonable care, directly resulting in your injuries. The key elements that must be established in every personal injury claim include:

  • The responsible party owed you a duty of care
  • They breached that duty through negligent actions
  • This breach directly caused your injuries
  • You suffered actual damages as a result

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At JB&S Injury Law, our experienced attorneys have successfully represented clients in virtually every type of personal injury matter, including:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents – Car, motorcycle, truck, and commercial vehicle collisions that result in serious injuries or fatalities
  • Premises Liability – Injuries from dangerous property conditions, including slip and falls, inadequate security, and structural failures
  • Products Liability – Harm caused by defective or unreasonably dangerous products
  • Worksite Accidents – Construction and industrial accidents resulting in serious injuries
  • Dog Bites – Attacks causing physical injuries, scarring, and psychological trauma
  • Wrongful Death – Fatal injuries caused by negligence or misconduct
  • Toxic Torts/Pharmaceutical Injuries – Harm from exposure to hazardous substances or dangerous medications

Each type of case requires specific legal knowledge and strategic approach—something our Board-Certified attorneys have mastered through decades of successful litigation.

The Personal Injury Claims Process

The path to compensation typically follows these critical stages:

    • Initial Investigation – We gather evidence, interview witnesses, and document the full extent of your injuries and losses
    • Medical Treatment – You receive proper medical care while we track your progress and prognosis
    • Demand and Negotiation – We present a comprehensive demand to the responsible parties and their insurers
    • Litigation Preparation – If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we prepare your case for trial
    • Court Proceedings – We aggressively represent your interests in court, leveraging our extensive trial experience
    • Resolution – Either through settlement or verdict, we secure the compensation you deserve

Throughout this process, our attorneys handle all legal aspects of your claim, allowing you to focus solely on your recovery.

Recoverable Damages in Personal Injury Cases

Victims of negligence can typically pursue compensation for:

  • Economic Damages – Objective financial losses including medical expenses, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity
  • Non-Economic Damages – Subjective impacts like pain and suffering, mental anguish, and physical impairment
  • Punitive Damages – In cases involving egregious conduct, additional compensation may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer

Don’t make the mistake of accepting a quick settlement that fails to account for your long-term needs. Our attorneys meticulously calculate the full value of your claim, ensuring you receive comprehensive compensation.

Time Limits: Why You Can’t Afford to Wait

In Texas, personal injury victims generally have just two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. This statute of limitations is unforgiving—once it expires, you lose your right to seek compensation forever. Even more urgent are special notice requirements for claims against governmental entities, which may require action within mere months or even weeks after your injury.
