When to Call a Dallas Personal Injury Attorney

You should consider calling a personal injury attorney if you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. This could include accidents such as car crashes, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and more.

If you are unsure whether your situation warrants the assistance of a personal injury lawyer, it is best to reach out for a free consultation. An experienced Dallas attorney can help you understand your legal rights and options, and guide you through the process of seeking compensation for your injuries and damages. It is recommended to call a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your injury, as there may be time limits on when you can file a claim, and the attorney can begin gathering evidence to support your case.

Types of Personal Injury Damages

In a personal injury case, damages refer to the compensation the plaintiff seeks for their injury-related losses. There are two main types of damages: compensatory and punitive.

Compensatory damages are meant to compensate the plaintiff for their actual losses and are divided into two categories: special and general damages.

Special damages, also known as economic damages, cover out-of-pocket expenses such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
General damages, also known as non-economic damages, cover intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for particularly egregious conduct and are rarer in personal injury cases. They are designed to deter the defendant and others from engaging in similar conduct in the future.

The specific types of damages awarded in a personal injury case depend on the specific circumstances and facts of the case, and the goal is to put the plaintiff in the same financial position they would have been in if the injury had not occurred.
