FAQ

Identifying the Four Tort Elements The accused had a duty, in most personal injury cases, to act in a way that did not cause you to become injured. The accused committed a breach of that duty. An injury occurred to you. The breach of duty was the proximate cause of your injury.

Some injuries can change a person's life, but are incredibly difficult to diagnose and treat. This is often the case when it comes to injuries such as whiplash, nerve damage, sprains, strains, mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions.

Intentional infliction of emotional distress involves a claim where the defendant's extreme or outrageous conduct caused the plaintiff emotional harm. These types of cases can be difficult to prove in court since emotional distress tends to be subjective.

Generally, intentional torts are harder to prove than negligence, since a plaintiff must show that the defendant did something on purpose.

Damage Caps Under the Texas Tort Claims Act Under Section 101.023 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, damages for personal injury or death are capped at: $250,000 per person, and. $500,000 per occurrence.

Then, you have to show the court that the doctor's actions or inactions were the direct cause of your illness and that your health was damaged as a direct result. Of those four components, causation is often the hardest element to prove in court.

Negligence is by far the most common type of tort. Unlike intentional torts, negligence cases do not involve deliberate actions. Negligence occurs when a person fails to act carefully enough and another person gets hurt as a result. For this type of case, a person must owe a duty to another person.

Torts fall into three general categories: Intentional torts (e.g., intentionally hitting a person); Negligent torts (e.g., causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and. Strict liability torts (e.g., liability for making and selling defective products - see Products Liability).
