Personal Injury Defense & Claims

If a person has been injured in Texas, they will likely claim a personal injury and seek medical attention. As a result, they will likely make a claim against the person or company that caused the harm. The injured person will likely seek monetary compensation for the pain and suffering in addition to reimbursement of medical care. Some injury victims may require future medical care especially if there is permanent disfigurement to the body or the face. For these reasons, it is important to make a claim against an insurance policy, but not all policies cover these types of claims. Bad drivers or bad actors that cause harm to others sometimes have to defend themselves without the help of their insurance company. Your next step should be to contact an experienced attorney with experience in personal injury cases like those at The Weaver Law Firm. Our Houston and San Antonio personal injury attorneys have been on both sides of these types of claims. We have represented injured individuals and have defended businesses as well. This gives us unique experience in understanding the strategies of both a plaintiffs attorney and a defense attorney.

What are Anticipated Defenses in Personal Injury Cases?

We see the following 

• The injured person caused their own injury.

• The injured person was trespassing at the time of the incident.

• The injury was caused by someone else.

• The injury was not anticipated.

• Evidence gathering: For both sides of the case, it is important to collect medical records, witness statements, and animal control reports.

• For both sides of the case, it is important to show who was at fault. Your lawyer can help determine causation of the harm. 
• A strong defense or claim begins with early legal representation, collecting clear evidence, and strategically understanding defense arguments like provocation, trespass, or “no notice.” In Texas, understanding the shift from negligence to strict liability is key—especially when dealing with various types of personal injuries.
• Did the insurance company deny coverage? Our attorneys can review the insurance policy to determine if it was a wrongful denial of the claim.

We serve clients in Texas also dealing with the following type of injury cases:

• Auto accidents and other passenger vehicle accidents
• Tractor-trailer accidents that can lead to catastrophic injuries
• Accidents caused by truck driver error including fatigue, distracted driving or inebriation
• Motorcycle crashes wherein riders were hurt due to other drivers’ negligence
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents, which are an increasing cause of concern in the area
• Cruise ship accidents that affect passengers — either of the cruise or other vessels
• Accidents in the workplace that prevent individuals from continuing on in their jobs, either in the short- or long-term

We represent people who have suffered catastrophic injuries of all types, including brain and spine injuries, back injuries, fractures, amputations and more. We also represent families that have lost loved ones due to wrongful death.

Are Personal Injury Cases Handled on a Contingency Basis?
