Injured in Van Alstyne? Here's What You Need to Know About Personal Injury Law and Whether You Have a Case
At David K. Wilson & Associates, we understand that accidents happen when you least expect them - on the roads, at work, or even in your neighborhood. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence in Van Alstyne or the surrounding area, you may be wondering: Do I have a personal injury case? And what does personal injury law cover?
David Wilson has spent over 40 years helping injured Texans obtain real answers and real justice. Here’s what you need to know.
What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law is a legal area that allows you to seek compensation if you've been physically, emotionally, or financially harmed due to someone else’s careless or wrongful actions. The goal is to make you “whole” again, not just medically, but also financially, covering things like:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages or lost earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation and ongoing care
Personal injury claims are typically based on negligence, which means someone failed to act with reasonable care, and you were hurt as a result.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case?
Here are a few simple questions to ask yourself:
- Were you injured? Even if you “feel okay,” symptoms like back pain, whiplash, or head injuries can show up later. Always seek medical attention after an accident.
- Was someone else at fault? If your injury was caused by another person, business, or even a government entity, you may have a claim. This includes things like reckless drivers, unsafe property conditions, or defective products.
- Have you suffered damages? This could be medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repairs, or emotional trauma. If you've lost time, money, or health because of the accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
In Texas, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could forfeit your right to seek compensation, though there are exceptions. Unsure if your case applies? Call us today.
Who can be held liable in my personal injury case?
In a personal injury case, the party that can be held liable depends on the circumstances of the accident. This could include individuals, companies, property owners, or even government entities if their negligence or wrongful actions caused your injury.
How do I prove negligence in a personal injury case?
To prove negligence, you must show that the responsible party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused your injuries. Our team can assist in this by gathering evidence, such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements, to build a strong case.
What if the injury occurred at work?
If your injury happened at work, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party (other than your employer) caused your injury, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers' comp. Unsure about your case Call our team today.
