All injuries are distressing and disruptive, but when a serious injury happens because another person or business fails to take reasonable precautions, it’s particularly traumatic. While nothing can erase the pain and trauma of a sudden serious injury, a successful personal injury claim recovers compensation for the economic damages and pain and suffering.

Proving Liability for Damages In Rio Bravo Personal Injury Cases
To make a compelling claim for compensation against an at-fault party’s insurance—such as auto insurance after a car accident or commercial liability insurance after a slip-and-fall in a store—requires showing strong evidence of the following:
- That the at-fault party owed a duty of reasonable care to the injury victim
- They breached this duty through negligence
- Their breach of duty directly caused the injury
- The injury victim suffered damages from the injury
Common damages include medical expenses, lost earnings, and compensation for pain and suffering. In some cases, additional compensation is available for damages like disfigurement, loss of limb, or diminished quality of life due to catastrophic injuries.
