INTRODUCTION TO PERSONAL INJURY
What is Personal Injury?
What does the term personal injury mean? Personal Injury is a phrase commonly used to describe different types of bodily injury legal cases. Usually, a victim in a personal injury case is complaining that the fault of some other person caused the victims injury. Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, industrial accidents, construction accidents are some examples of the causes of personal injury.
A plaintiff, (the person bringing the legal case) in a personal injury lawsuit , must prove that his or her injury occurred as a proximate cause or result of someones negligence. In other words, the fault of some person caused the victims injuries.
Personal injury claims, depending on the facts and circumstances of a case, may be brought against persons, corporations, businesses or governmental agencies.
DAMAGES IN A PERSONAL INJURY CASE
Plaintiffs in a personal injury case, where supporting facts exist, can generally recover past, present and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering and mental anguish damages. Physical impairment and/or disfigurement as a result of injury could also be additional elements of damages recoverable in a personal injury case.

TYPES OF PERSONAL INJURY CASES WE HANDLE:
What causes car accidents? Car accidents occur when one or more drivers lose control of the vehicle they are operating, and a collision occurs. Car accidents can occur for various reasons, including driver inattention, texting, fatigue, traffic, and driver error, among other causes. Unfortunately, car accidents are fairly common occurrences and a fact of life. While cars have gotten much safer over the decades, it is impossible to prevent injury or death in all instances of car or auto accidents.
What are the different types of car accidents? The legal definition of a car accident is fairly straight forward: a car accident occurs when a typical passenger car (such as a station wagon, convertible, or sedan) is involved in a single event (or series of events) that ultimately causes harm, personal injury, property damage, or even death. In most cases (4 out of 5), the crashes involved collision with another motorized vehicle, with the remainder of the crashes occurring with non-motorized (stationary) objects (2005, NHTSA). Like most automobile crashes, the majority of these crashes have some form of negligence that caused the crash; most of these would also end up with a traffic law violation as well.
What impact can a car accident have on a persons life? There can be a wide variety of damages involved, whether they are personal injury-related (minor, or major such as a traumatic brain injury), or actual property damage. The car accident attorneys and lawyers at the Kane | Varghese Law Firm have represented individuals and families who have suffered injuries ranging from whiplash, back and spine injuries, organ loss and death from car accidents, caused by the negligence of others. Therefore, the impact from car accidents on a persons life can be substantial and life altering, depending on the seriousness of the car accident.
Who is responsible for injuries and damages caused by a car accident? How does insurance play a role in car accidents? The person who is at fault for the car accident is legally responsible for the injuries and damages caused by the accident. Typically, the person who is at fault, if covered by a policy of auto insurance, would pay for a car accident victims injuries and damages through the applicable insurance policy. Complications can arise when the person at fault for the car accident is not insured! Car accident insurance coverage can be very complex and must be carefully examined by an attorney familiar with car accident insurance policies. The car accident lawyers at Kane | Varghese have vast knowledge and expertise in car accident insurance and can advise you on how to proceed after a car accident.
If you have specific questions about a car accident or auto accident case, call a car accident attorney or car accident lawyer at Kane | Varghese. We would be happy to discuss at length the facts and legal issues of your case.

What causes truck accidents or 18 wheeler accidents? There are several factors that cause truck accidents or 18 wheeler accidents (also known as semi accidents). Truck driver inattention, condition of the 18 wheeler or truck, driver fatigue, excessive speed, excessive loads, faulty brakes, improper maintenance, visibility issues, weather conditions, road conditions, road rage, and motorist inattention are some of the causes of 18 wheeler accidents or truck accidents.
Truck accidents cause substantial property damage and usually traumatic injuries when automobiles are involved in a Texas 18 wheeler accident or truck accident. We have all seen pancaked cars involved in 18 wheeler accidents. These big rigs are more like trains, in that, they are very heavy and simply cannot stop on a dime. When an 18 wheeler or truck hits another vehicle on the road, going at highway speeds, the results can be devastating.
How can I bring a claim against a trucking company after a truck accident? How does Truck Insurance differ from car insurance in case of an accident? Bringing a claim against a trucking company is legally complex. Trucking companies and truck insurance are regulated by the Federal Government. Strict laws are in place to govern truck and 18 wheeler safety and insurance requirements. While auto insurance laws in Texas require a minimum coverage of $ 20,000.00 for bodily injury, trucks or 18 wheelers are required by federal law to carry a minimum liability coverage of $ 750,000.00. Fighting a truck accident case requires both expertise and experience. The Truck Accident Lawyers | Attorneys at Kane | Varghese bring a substantial amount of experience litigating trucking companies on behalf of injured clients.
The experienced Texas truck accident lawyers | attorneys and 18 wheeler accident lawyers or attorneys at Kane | Varghese can help. If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury or wrongful death as a result of a truck accident or collision with 18 wheeler truck or a semi tractor trailer, you may be entitled to damages under law. These damages can include past and future medical expenses, past and future physical pain and mental anguish, physical impairment in the past and future, lost wages and wage earning capacity, and burial expenses if applicable. In some instances, punitive damages may be available.
Even if they are responsible for the trucking accident, the trucking company will naturally want to protect their own interests and will have their own lawyers to try to help them mitigate the loss. Every Texas truck accident attorney | lawyer at our law firm recognizes the tactics used by the trucking companies to prevent you from getting what you deserve in your trucking accident lawsuit.
A Texas truck accident lawyer | attorney at our law firm is standing by 24 hours a day to fight for YOUR rights in your trucking accident case.

What does the term wrongful death mean? "Wrongful Death" means that a person's death was caused by the negligent or intentional acts of another person, business or government entity. Wrongful death causes may include truck accidents, car accidents. industrial accidents, construction accidents, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents and other types of accidents.
The death of a loved one or family member can be devastating. The anguish and devastation can be compounded many times over when the death is caused by the act of another. For example, an 18-wheeler truck driver is busy on the phone while driving, and is not paying attention. He causes an accident that results in a fatality. The trucker could be liable for the wrongful death of the person killed in that accident. Another scenario. A nurse erroneously gives the wrong dosage or type of medication that kills a patient. That nurse could be held responsible for the wrongful death of the patient. There are many contexts that could give rise to a wrongful death case. Generally, spouses, children, and parents (sometimes) may have a claim for the wrongful death of a person.
Chapter 71 of the Texas CIvil Practice and Remedies Code governs the bringing of wrongful death actions in the State of Texas. A Survival of Cause of Action exists per Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 71.021 which inures to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives and the estate of the injured or decedent. A wrongful death and survival suit may be instituted and prosecuted as though the person was alive.

What is a drunk driver accident? Drunk driving accidents occur when the driver of a vehicle consumes alcohol, which impairs that drivers ability to control the operation of his or her vehicle. In Texas, a driver of a car or other vehicle is considered legally drunk, when his or her blood alcohol level is at or greater than .08. While it is incontrovertible evidence that a person who caused an accident was drunk, if he or she had a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher, what about a person whose blood alcohol was less than .08 when he or she caused an accident? Such a person would not be legally drunk, but a very valid legal argument exists that such a person was impaired as a result of the consumption of alcohol, thereby leading to the car accident or truck accident.
When do drunk driving accidents occur? Drunk driving accidents dont just occur at closing time...as the impression may be. They can occur at any time during the day, or at night. Certainly, an argument can be made that drunk driving occurs more frequently near bars or other establishments serving alcohol. Unfortunately, victims of drunk driving accidents are persons at the wrong place at the wrong time. Many drunk driver accidents lead to serious and debilitating injuries, paralysis, or death. Many families have lost their bread-winners, sons, daughters, fathers and mothers to drunk drivers. At the Kane | Varghese law firm, the drunk driver accident attorneys and lawyers have experience successfully representing drunk driving accident victims. If you or a loved one have suffered due to the negligence of a drunk driver, call to speak with a drunk driver accident attorney or lawyer about your situation. We are here to help.
According to the CDC, alcohol-related crashes in the U.S. cost approximately 51 billion dollars every year. According to some estimates, up to 30 percent of Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related accident at some point in their lifetime. An alcohol related crash can be used to increase the value of a car accident injury claim, by potentially including a claim for punitive damages.
It is common sense that alcohol intake can impair or affect perception and motor skills necessary to operate a car, truck or other motor vehicle. Many accidents in the United States are caused as a result of drivers being under the influence of alcohol while operating their vehicle. Alcohol impairs driving judgment and can result in car accidents, truck accidents, and other motor vehicle accidents. It is best never to operate a vehicle after consuming alcohol as it impairs judgment and perception. Driving a car or truck under the influence has serious criminal consequences!! Drink, Drive, Go to jail!
At the Kane | Varghese law firm, the attorneys and lawyers have experience successfully representing drunk driving accident victims. If you or a loved one have suffered due to the negligence of a drunk driver, call to speak with a drunk driver accident attorney or lawyer about your situation.

What causes motorcycle accidents? Motorcycle accidents happen for a variety of reasons. A lack of visibility to other drivers, the fact that other vehicle drivers are not trained to look for motorcyclists on the roads, operator errors, erroneous braking patterns, gravel patches on roads, oil patches on roads, other vehicles failing to yield to motorcycles, operator inattention, excessive speed, hotdogging, lack of operator experience and judgment can be just a few of the factors that cause motorcycle accidents.
What can be done to prevent motorcycle accidents? Motorcyclists cannot rely on the judgment of others for their own safety. Motorcycle safety training, the use of protective gear, the use of extreme caution while operating a motorcycle, ultra defensive riding, leaving substantial operating distance between the motorcyclist and other vehicles, abiding by speed limits, having the general driving public trained to observe motorcycles, and safe yielding techniques can all help reduce unnecessary motorcycle accidents.
Whose at fault in motorcycle accidents? Where do motorcycle accidents occur? Motorcycle accidents can occur as a result of other vehicles not paying attention, motorcycle rider inattention, pedestrian fault, weather conditions, road conditions and other factors. Motorcycle accidents dont just occur on highways. They can occur on smaller streets, intersections, parking lots and residential areas.
Motorcycle accidents can result in very serious injuries because of a lack of a protective covering around the rider or the passenger. Motorcycle accident injuries can range from cuts, scrapes, burns, broken bones, head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and even death.

TYPES OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES:
What does the term medical malpractice mean? The term medical malpractice is a generic term that can be used to describe physician errors, surgical malpractice or errors, nursing malpractice or errors, medication errors resulting in injury or death, pharmacy errors and other negligent methodology that results in patient harm.
Generally, a medical malpractice claim can be brought when the negligent action of a hospital, physician, or other healthcare provider results in a patient's injury or death. The person making the medical malpractice claim must have some form of proof that the provider did not provide proper care and this resulted in harm to the patient.
There are also specific state legal requirements. For example, the law requires that the person bringing a medical malpractice claim deviated from the standard of care and it was this deviance from some standard of care that was the cause of the person's harm. Furthermore, this claim must also be substantiated by an equivalent medical professional testifying on behalf of the patient. In other words, if the patient is making a claim against a doctor, then a doctor must testify on the patient's behalf. And if a patient is making a claim against a nurse, then a nurse must testify on the patient's behalf. (Those cases would be a type of nursing malpractice case).
If you believe that you or a loved one is a victim of medical malpractice, please feel free to call a medical malpractice attorney | lawyer at the Kane | Varghese Law Firm.

What are some of the types and causes of brain injury? Traumatic brain injury to the brain may result from external blunt force, rapid acceleration, deceleration, impact, blast waves, or penetration by a foreign object.
Traumatic brain injury can be classified as closed or penetrating head injury, or by other features. Head injury is a broader category because it can involve damage to structures other than the brain, such as the scalp and skull. Causes include falls, vehicle accidents, and violence. Prevention measures include use of technology to protect those who are in accidents, such as seat belts and sports or motorcycle helmets, as well as efforts to reduce the number of accidents, such as safety education programs and enforcement of traffic laws.
Brain injury can be caused by a direct impact. Brain injury can cause secondary injury from a variety of events that take place in the minutes and days following the direct injury. These processes, which include alterations in cerebral blood flow and the pressure within the skull, may contribute substantially to the damage from the initial injury.
If you or a loved one has suffered brain injury as a result of someones negligence, feel free to talk to a brain injury attorney | lawyer at the Kane |Varghese Law Firm. We can help.

What is a burn injury? A burn is a type of injury that can be caused by several factors such as heat, electricity, chemicals, light, radiation or friction. Some burns affect the skin tissue, but other burns may affect and injure deeper tissues, such as muscle, bone, and blood vessels. Treating burns is important because they are common, painful and can result in disfiguring and disabling scarring, amputation of affected parts or death in severe cases. Complications such as shock, infection, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, electrolyte imbalance and respiratory distress may occur. The treatment of burns may include the removal of dead tissue (debridement), applying dressings to the wound, administering large volumes of intravenous fluids, administering antibiotics and skin grafting. While large burns can be fatal, modern treatments developed in the last 50 years have significantly improved the treatment and prognosis of such burns.

What is Birth Injury? What are some of the common causes of birth injury? Birth injury refers to any damage suffered by an infant during the process of birth. Birth injury can encompass a wide array of problems ranging from minor to major. Birth injury can be used to describe a minor problem such as a superficial laceration or a major problem like severe hypoxic brain injury that could leave a baby brain dead. The actual injury can occur before, during, or immediately after birth. Babies can suffer serious medical problems as a result of negligent prenatal care, delivery, or post-delivery care. Birth injuries commonly occur as the infant travels through the birth canal. Childbirth places a significant amount of pressure and stress on the baby. Birth injury is a tragic but common event that can have long term impact on the mother and child. In a birth injury case one has to show that the injury was avoidable and that the healthcare providers care was inadequate. Babies injured at birth may become permanently disabled and require life-long care. Some babies even die from birth injury.
Medical malpractice claims involving birth injuries are some of the most emotionally charged cases that our law firm handles. There are two main types of injuries that can occur during the birth/delivery process - injuries from trauma , and injuries from lack of oxygen and blood to the brain.

What are some of the common causes of ATV accidents? Operator age, operator experience, terrain, vehicle design, vehicle maintenance are some of the factors causing ATV accidents.
Many hospital emergency rooms and emergency physicians are used to seeing patients injured in ATV accidents, especially in rural areas in America. ATV Crashes, rollovers and injuries are very common in the United States. ATV accidents were so common that the United States Justice Department filed a lawsuit alleging that ATVs and their manufacturers violated the Consumer Product Safety Act. In 1987, the ATV manufacturers agreed to stop producing three-wheeled ATVs. They started making four-wheelers to provide greater stability, but they did not recall the 2.4 million defective three-wheelers that had been already sold. Many dangerous ATVs remain in use today. Most Hospital Emergency Rooms see more than their fair share of severe injuries as a result of ATV crashes, rollovers, and ATV crash injuries.

Bus accidents in Texas are governed by what is called the common carrier laws. Unlike other motor vehicle or car accidents, buses are regulated by the government because they carry passengers for a fee. Therefore, buses and bus drivers are held to higher legal standards and requirements under the law. The requirements of insurance policies to cover bus accidents are also quite different because of the fact that they carry passengers. School districts are required to enroll in the Bus Accident Reporting System if a school bus is involved in a school bus accident.
Bus accidents may occur for several reasons. Bus accidents may occur from the negligence of the bus driver, bus driver inexperience, negligent maintenance of the bus, bus driver or operator error, faulty bus tires, faulty bus brakes, road factors, and a multitude of other potential reasons.
Bus accidents may cause injuries to its passengers inside the bus, or to persons or property outside the confines of the bus. Bus accidents may occur from striking other vehicles on the road or from veering off the road or pathway.

What does the term prouct liability mean? Product liability is an area of law in which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the public are held responsible for the injuries those products cause. Products liability claims can be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty of fitness depending on the jurisdiction within which the claim is based. Many states have enacted comprehensive products liability statutes. A plaintiff in a product liability lawsuit must prove that the product is defective. There are three types of product defects that can result in liability for manufacturers and suppliers: design defects, manufacturing defects, and defects in marketing. Design defects are inherent; they exist before the product is manufactured. While the item might serve its purpose well, it can be unreasonably dangerous to use due to a design flaw. On the other hand, manufacturing defects occur during the construction or production of the item.

What are some of the common signs and symptoms of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect? As with children, many nursing home residents, given their condition, may not be able to lucidly explain the horrors of their condition in the nursing home. Many signs of abuse and neglect can go unnoticed, especially if there arent frequent visits by family or friends. Bruising, broken bones and other physical injuries can be signs of abuse. Malnourishment, bed sores, irritability, moodiness, fearfulness and other psychological changes could reflect either abuse or neglect. Other indications of abuse or neglect may involve a nursing home refusing to allow visitors to see resident, delays in allowing visitors to see resident, nursing home or staff not allowing resident to be alone with visitor, keeping a resident in an over-medicated state, loss of resident's possessions, atypical actions such as sudden large withdrawals from bank accounts or changes in banking practices or abrupt changes in will or other financial documents.
