Socorro Personal Injury Lawyer
Helping Socorro Residents Injured by Negligence
Accidents happen every single day across the nation. Sometimes they are just that—accidents, with really no one to blame. Other times, accidents are the direct result of the negligence of another person or entity. Negligence occurs when an individual owes a duty of care to others, breaches that duty, injury results as a result of the breach of duty, and those injuries result in damages.

Texas Personal Injury Laws
Personal injury laws in Texas govern legal claims that arise when a person suffers harm due to another party’s negligence or intentional conduct. These laws allow injured parties to seek compensation (called "damages") for their losses, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. The core principle behind Texas personal injury law is that someone who causes harm through carelessness or wrongful behavior should be held financially accountable for the resulting consequences.
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that if the injured person is found to be partially at fault for the accident, their compensation will be reduced by their percentage of fault. However, if they are 51% or more responsible, they are barred from recovering any damages. This is commonly referred to as the “51% rule.” This system encourages fairness by distributing liability according to the degree of fault.
Another key aspect of Texas personal injury law is the statute of limitations. In most cases, an injured person must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the injury. Failing to file within this time frame generally results in the loss of the right to sue. Some exceptions exist—for instance, if the injured person was a minor at the time of the accident or if the injury wasn’t discovered right away—but these are narrowly applied.
Texas does not cap most types of damages in personal injury cases, except in medical malpractice lawsuits. In those cases, non-economic damages (like pain and suffering) are capped at $250,000 per defendant, with a total cap of $500,000 if multiple defendants are involved. Economic damages, such as medical bills or lost income, are not capped.
