When a victim is wronged by another person, that victim may wish to sue for personal injury. In order to have a strong personal injury lawsuit, however, the victim needs three things: a solvent defendant, liability, and damages. In other words, the victim must have been wronged in some way as a result of another person's actions (or inaction) and that other person must have money with which to pay the victim. Without any of these three things, you do not have a strong case. For instance, if you were wronged by someone and have suffered significant damages but that person has no money with which to pay you, your case is weak. If you were wronged by someone with plenty of money but you have no damages to show for it, your case is weak.
If you or someone you love has been wronged by another person, a personal injury attorney may be able to help you. Many personal injury lawsuits involve multiple defendants, some of which might not be immediately obvious. Even if your case seems weak at first, an experienced attorney may be able to point it in a different direction in order to secure for you a fair settlement.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
