If you are hurt in Texas, you have certain legal rights. The civil justice system allows you to recover compensation against those who harmed you. However, it is up to you to navigate the legal system, identify defendants, make your claim and time, and prove the defendant should be held liable for your losses.
You can’t do this alone, especially as you cope with the process of recovering from your injuries. The good news is, you don’t have to. A Kyle personal injury attorney at George Salinas Injury Lawyers can help.

Types of Kyle Personal Injury Claims
Personal injury claims can arise from any type of negligence or wrongdoing that causes you harm. Some common examples of injury claims that our firm handles include:
- Car accidents
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Rideshare accidents
- Uninsured motorist accidents
- Truck accidents
- Metro accidents
- Slip and falls
- Premises liability claims
In these and other situations, we have detailed knowledge of the specialized laws that could affect your case.
For example, if you were in a truck crash we know the Federal Motor Safety Carrier Regulations that apply to truck drivers so we can identify whether the driver violated any safety rules. If the driver did, this creates a presumption they were negligent and makes proving your case simpler.
This is just one of many examples of how the law can differ from case to case — and why you need a specialized San Antonio personal injury lawyer that has handled cases similar to your own.
Understanding Your Rights After an Accident Caused You Harm
Texas established a rule called modified comparative fault that determines when a victim can pursue legal action when someone hurts them, even if that victim was partly to blame for their own injury.
As Texas Code Section 33.001 explains, “a claimant may not recover damages if his percentage of responsibility is greater than 50 percent.” The “trier of fact” will determine your portion of the blame, according to Code Section Sec. 33.003, and your damages will be reduced by that percentage.
If another person or company was at least 51% responsible for the harm you endured, you should be able to recover full or partial compensation for medical bills, loss of earning power and wages missed due to your injuries, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. You can recover these funds through a settlement or after a court finds in your favor.
You need to know how to navigate the legal system, what arguments to make, and what defendants to pursue a claim against when something happens to you. Don’t hesitate to get the legal assistance necessary to do that.
