PRACTICE AREAS
Personal Injury
In Texas and elsewhere, the earliest cases imposing no-fault liability on manufacturers and sellers involved contaminated food. Difficulties in proving a food preparer negligent prompted the courts to authorize recovery under theories other than negligence. Most of these early food cases based liability on a form of breach of implied warranty. However, the basis was neither the seller’s representations to the buyer, nor a contractual warranty, but rather a warranty imposed as a matter of public policy.
A Personal Injury is any physical or mental injury to a person as a result of someone’s negligence or harmful act. Sometimes personal injury may be referred to as bodily injury. Personal injuries can occur in a wide variety of ways.
Two separate and distinct causes of action may arise when injuries from a wrongful act to omission result in death. One of them is an action for damages sustained by the decedent and his or her estate as a result of the injuries. This action survives to the heirs or legal representatives of the decedent’s estate pursuant to Section 71.021 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Although at common law a right of action in tort abated on the death of the person injured, the survival statute allows an action for personal injury to “survive” death of the injured person. The damages recoverable in a survival action are generally limited to those which the decedent could have recovered if he or she had lived, and funeral expenses.
