Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury claim is filed after a person is injured due to someone else’s actions or negligence. By filing a claim, you are seeking compensation for damages due to that injury. In order to determine whether or not another party is liable for your injury, you will need to prove that the at-fault party had a responsibility to prevent or avoid injuring you, that they failed to fulfill that responsibility, and that their failure resulted in your injury.
If you’ve been injured in any of the following types of accidents, Bobby Garcia would be proud to help you seek justice:
Auto accidents
18-wheeler accidents
Slip and fall accidents
Dog bites
ATV accidents
Work-related accidents
While most cases settle favorably without the need for a trial, at the Law Office of Bobby Garcia, we are always prepared to go to trial in order to get our clients the compensation they deserve.
Damages Available in an Personal Injury Suit
If you’ve been injured because of the actions or negligence of a party who had a responsibility to prevent or avoid causing you injury, you deserve justice. A personal injury lawyer can help you seek compensation for up to 100% of your expenses if you can prove that you bore no responsibility for the accident.
The damages caused by a personal injury go well beyond medical bills and repair costs: accidents that cause injuries often leave victims traumatized and in pain, sometimes for the rest of their lives. The law protects victims’ rights to seek compensation for all of their losses, both economic and non-economic.
Below, you can find the types of losses that may be covered in a personal injury claim.
- Medical Bills
- Disability
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning power
- Property damage
- Funeral costs
- Pain and suffering
- PTSD and other mental illnesses
- Disfigurement
- Lost relationships
- Reduced quality of life
To determine what a victim is owed in economic damages, the court or insurance company involved will most likely need receipts, medical records, and other sorts of evidence and documentation proving what the victim spent.
However, calculating non-economic damages is less straightforward. The value of these losses is usually either decided by the court or calculated by multiplying the economic damages by a specific factor. In either case, having the representation of an experienced personal injury attorney can make a big difference.

18-Wheeler Truck Accidents
18-wheeler truck accidents cause major damage. Often, lives are lost and severe injuries result from these incidents. Your family deserves compensation for enduring this nightmare. We often find our clients stuck in difficult times following these scenarios.
Following treatment, you will need to set aside moments for recovery. All these factors can leave you with expensive medical bills, loss of wages, and other variables that can bring inconveniences.
18-wheeler truck accident suits can become complex and require extensive knowledge of federal and state trucking laws and regulations. In addition, expert analysis is often required to prove liability.
Slip and Fall Accident Injury
Property owners are responsible for the safety of those who pass through their premises and must take action to help prevent slip and fall injuries. This means they need to clean up spills, provide well-lit walkways, prevent elevator accidents and injury, and put up signs warning of any potential hazard.
According to Texas premises liability laws, property owners may be held liable for any accident and injury caused by unsafe conditions on their premises. A Texas slip and fall accident and injury attorney can build a lawsuit against the property owner and get compensation for injuries resulting from unsafe premises.
Legally speaking, slip and fall lawsuits come under the broader category of premises liability, which also includes inadequate security lawsuits.
Dog Bites
To protect the public from undue harm from dog attacks, all 50 states have passed dog bite laws in one form or another. However, there is no nationwide law for dog bite cases.
Liability must be proven in a dog attack case. This starts with the victim identifying the attacking dog and the dog’s owner/responsible party. There is always a case to be made if a dog owner violates confinement laws or knowingly harbors a dangerous animal.
In Texas, it is required to prove the dog owner is at fault based on “one bite” laws. Under these laws, a dog owner is not at fault for the first time a dog ever attacks a person. However, all subsequent incidents are the fault of the dog owner. Time lost from work, medical bills, and suffering are only a few of the consequences dog attacks can have.
ATV Rollover Accidents
ATVs have become popular for work and recreation. Unfortunately, reported cases of serious injury and death from an ATV rollover accident have increased along with their use. Most of these ATV rollover accident injuries and deaths can be attributed to unstable design, a center of gravity that is too high, and/or operator error.
Make ATV safety a priority.
An ATV is not a toy; children should not be permitted to operate ATVs without specialized training, and once trained, they should be allowed to only operate an ATV of an appropriate size.
Work Related Injuries
If you suffer a work-related injury or illness, you are probably entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits. The types of injuries covered by workers’ compensation include physical injuries, illnesses, and some psychological or stress-related injuries.
If you are seeking workers’ compensation benefits, you will have to show that your injury or illness is work-related. Usually, if you were doing something for the benefit of your employer, and you were injured or became ill as a result, then your injury or illness is, indeed, work-related and you can receive benefits as long as you meet other eligibility requirements.
The most common work-related injuries are hearing loss, broken bones, diseases, and illnesses.
