PERSONAL INJURY LAW

What is personal injury law, you might be wondering if you've been harmed in an accident in Texas and are trying to employ a San Antonio accident lawyer? Although the broad term covers a lot, it can be summed up as follows.
One topic of law that is included in the category of tort law is personal injury law. Part of the civil judicial system, tort law is called from the Latin word "tortus," which means "twisted." It includes losses, wrongs, or damages caused to another party's body, property, rights, or reputation by another party's conduct, act, or omission.


Intentional, careless, and strict liability torts are the three main types of torts. Numerous specific torts fall under these headings, such as violence, assault, malpractice, defamation, trespassing, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, to mention a few. There are several ways in which criminal law and tort law diverge, not the least of which being the considerably lower burden of proof required for tort cases, which can be filed against careless parties.
