Dallas Personal Injury Damages
One of the most important issues for most people involved in a Dallas

satisfactory compensation for your injuries is the foremost concern at The Law
Offices of Regis Mullen & Shane Mullen, Inc., personal injury lawyers Dallas.
We have vast experience and many resources available to us which we utilize
on your behalf, and as personal injury attorneys in Dallas we will fight for the
best result possible.
As you know, if you suffer a personal injury you'll likely require medical
attention and may need rehabilitation, all of which costs substantial sums of
money. When a judge or jury finds the defendant liable for wrongful conduct in a
personal injury case, the issue then becomes what types of damages are due to
the plaintiff, and in what amount. You may have sustained property damage to
your car and other property. You may lose income (and/or have to use up "sick
time") because of the injury, and you may continue to lose income while
treatment and recovery takes place. You may have to rent a vehicle, and car
repairs and rentals can cost money. You may also endure significant pain and
suffering, which may be ongoing as well. You may also lose the ability to
perform various activities of normal daily living, for a while or permanently.
After an accident, you should be compensated in a manner that places you back in
the same position as you were before the accident. In Dallas personal injury
actions the plaintiff must have been injured in some way to be entitled to
damages. As Dallas personal injury lawyers, we must prove that you suffered
injury (some type of physical, emotional or monetary harm) for the defendant to
be required to pay compensation to you. However, with some intentional torts (such
as battery, assault or trespass) we may only have to show that the defendant
engaged in the unauthorized conduct, without proving that you suffered actual
physical harm, in order to recover damages (though damages in these situations
are often nominal absent serious injury).
Three basic kinds of damages are awarded in personal injury cases: compensatory
damages, punitive damages and nominal damages.
In Dallas personal injury cases, measures must be taken to preserve
evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to file a lawsuit prior to
the deadline imposed by law. If you or a loved one is a personal injury victim,
