Office Information
Personal Injury

The attorneys at the Norman Law Firm assist individuals, families, and businesses in Cherokee County and throughout East Texas with a range of legal matters including Personal Injury.

When one person is injured due to the negligence or intentional act of another party, or from a product that was defectively designed or manufactured, the injured party may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Whether the injuries occurred in an automobile accident or while on someone else's property, the law imposes liability on one who breaches a duty of care to another, subject to certain defenses.

Texas is a comparative negligence state, meaning that recovery is limited in cases where the plaintiff's own negligence contributed to his or her injuries. At trial, the law assigns a "percentage of responsibility" to the plaintiff's own negligent acts. If this percentage is determined to exceed fifty percent, the plaintiff is not eligible to recover at all. However, if the plaintiff's negligence contributed to the accident in an amount of fifty percent or less, then the plaintiff still may recover against a negligent defendant, with any damage award reduced accordingly.
