Nursing Home Abuse Law

Elder abuse and neglect in nursing homes are serious issues. Our injury lawyer is dedicated to protecting the valuable legal rights of the elderly and holding negligent facilities accountable.

Plant and Refinery Accident Law

Plant and refinery accident law in Texas focuses on protecting workers who are injured in industrial accidents. These accidents can result from equipment failures, exposure to hazardous materials, fires, explosions, or unsafe working conditions. The law provides injured workers with the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

Premises Liability Law

In Texas, property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail to do so, and injuries occur, we help victims pursue claims for compensation. One of the most common types of premises liability accidents are slip-and-fall incidents.

Product Liability Law

Consumers have the right to expect that the products they purchase are safe. When defective or dangerous products cause harm, we fight for the rights of injured consumers.

Wrongful Death Law

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. We support families through these difficult times and help them seek compensation for their loss.

In Texas, personal injury cases are governed by various statutes and legal principles. Understanding these can be crucial for a successful claim. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. Comparative fault means that if you are partially at fault for the accident, your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any damages.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. In other words, you have two years to file a lawsuit, or you may lose your right to seek compensation.

Our team is dedicated to supporting you through every step of the process, from the initial consultation to the final resolution of your case. The steps in a Texas personal injury claim are as follows:

Step 1 – Seek Medical Attention
Your health is the most important priority. Seek immediate medical attention for your injuries and follow your doctor’s advice.

Step 2 – Gather Evidence
Collect evidence related to the accident, including photographs, witness statements, police reports, and medical records. This evidence will be crucial in supporting your claim.

Step 3 – Consult Our Attorney
Contact our experienced Texas personal injury attorney to discuss your case. At Mark Diaz & Associates, we offer a free initial consultation to help you understand your legal options.

Step 4 – File A Claim
Your injury attorney will help you file a personal injury claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. This claim will disclose the extent of your injuries and the compensation you are seeking.

Step 5 – Negotiation
Your injury attorney will negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance company to reach a just settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, your attorney may advise taking the case to court.

Step 6 – Litigation
If your injury case goes to court, your attorney will represent you and present evidence to support your claim. The court will then decide the outcome of your case.
