What Exactly Is Personal Injury? Personal injury is a legal term in civil law. A personal injury claim is to compensate injured victims of accidents caused by negligent drivers.
In a personal injury lawsuit, the plaintiff is the person who has been injured. The defendant is the person against whom the case is brought. In cases where an accident results in the death of the victim, the plaintiff is the representative of the deceased individual's estate.
In a personal injury claim, the defendant is the person whose negligence caused the victim's injury or loss. When a defendant assigns blame to another party, that party is referred to as the cross-defendant.
what injuries classify as a personal injury?
Personal injury refers to any type of injury suffered in an accident. Car accidents, slip and fall accidents, defective products, and wrongful death claims can all result in these types of injuries.
Bodily
injury, on the other hand, is more limited and may refer to injuries sustained by another person, most commonly in a car accident. In the insurance industry, bodily injury is a type of insurance
policy that compensates accident victims through the at-fault party's insurance policy.
THE MODIFIED COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE RULE (51% RULE)
The Modified Comparative Negligence Rule is followed by Texas, as well as 32 other states. If a person is injured in a vehicle or truck accident in Texas, he cannot sue the other party for damages
if he is 51 percent or more to blame for the event. Comparative blame (also known as “proportionate responsibility” in Texas) is defined as the following:
The defendant maintains that he was not the only one who was careless and that the plaintiff has some responsibility for his own injuries. In pure comparative negligence jurisdictions,
the plaintiff can collect even if he was 80% to blame and only 20% of his damages are recoverable.
