Negligence Claims in Texas and Arkansas
Texarkana Personal Injury & Negligence Attorneys
There can be many areas of life where the negligence and negligence claims
may be an issue. One thing they have in common however, is that the basis
of the claim is the same-the damages incurred (be they physical, monetary
or having to do with property) all came about because a person, group
or business did not take the reasonable precautions to avoid or prevent
such damages. That is what must be proven in a court of law- the direct
connection between what was not done that should have been done. Or, what
should have been done but was not done – and what are the ill effects
because of those specific actions or non-actions.
These connections are sometimes difficult to prove even if they are true…because
the other side wants to cloud the issue in their favor and will do all
they can to try to convince a judge or jury that there were other reasons
for the damages done. That is why, if you think you may have a negligence
case of any sort, it is wise to seek an experienced attorney who knows
negligence law. The Texarkana injury attorneys at Langdon Davis have represented
many Texarkana residents in their negligence cases, with outstanding results.
Examples of Negligence Claims in Texarkana
Negligence can take place in a variety of places and ways. An example
of negligence might be when a person slips and
falls in an aisle of a grocery store where a bottle of cooking oil may have
spilled earlier and it was not properly cleaned up and there were no signs
regarding caution, nor was the area blocked off. Another area of negligence
often seen is in the area of hospitals, medical staff procedures and prescriptions.
For instance, if a patient is prescribed a medication to which they are
allergic and that patient had properly informed the prescribing physician
of that fact, prior, that also may be considered negligence.
If a manufacturer delivers a product that is known to cause damage or injury
or a distributor delivers a product known by them to have a defect, which
could cause harm, even if operated properly it can be considered negligence.
When an employer jeopardizes the safety of their workers by having then
unknowingly work with hazardous materials or using unsafe equipment, or
not training their employees properly for the job, all of these scenarios
may be the basis of a legal negligence claim. If a motorist becomes disoriented
and starts to drive the wrong way on the highway and causes personal injury
to another, that can be considered negligence as well.
