Wondering if you have a personal injury case? It can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with the stress of an injury. But at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., we’re here to help you navigate the process and determine if you have a valid claim.
What Determines if You Have a Case?
The most critical factor in any personal injury case is negligence—did someone else’s careless actions cause your injury? Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care to prevent harm. If someone else’s negligence led to your injury, you might have a strong case for compensation.
Our experienced attorneys regularly receive calls from people all over South Texas—from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande Valley—seeking help after being injured. However, to move forward with a claim, it must be proven that another person, business, or entity was responsible for your injuries. If the accident was entirely your fault, it would be difficult to pursue a claim.
What Are the Key Elements of Negligence?
To establish negligence and build a successful case, five key elements must be proven:
- Duty: Did the responsible party owe you a duty of care? For example, a driver has a duty to operate their vehicle safely.
- Breach of Duty: Did they breach that duty? If a driver was texting and hit your car, they breached their duty to pay attention to the road.
- Cause in Fact: Was their breach the direct cause of your injury?
- Proximate Cause: Was their negligence the primary reason for the accident, or were other factors involved?
- Damages: Were you injured or suffered losses due to their negligence?
These elements might seem straightforward, but proving them can be complex. That’s why it’s essential to have skilled attorneys on your side. At Herrman & Herrman, we know how to analyze these factors and determine whether you have a strong case.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
