In some civil disputes, a strongly worded letter may be all you need to get a fair payout from the party that caused you injuries or losses. That might seem like wishful thinking, but it’s unwise to underestimate the power of a properly worded, effective demand letter. They don’t always work, but writing and sending […]
Without liability laws, it would be difficult (if not impossible) to hold a person or business legally responsible for unlawful and wrongful acts that cause harm. You might not be able, for instance, to sue someone who crashed their car into yours and caused a substantial monetary loss. The company that sold you a defective […]
Suing someone for their wrongdoing against you is a good last-report option, but it may not always be the most efficient way to settle a dispute. After all, lawsuits can take a long time to resolve, cost a fair amount of money, and may not even result in a win. Sometimes, all you need to […]
If you’re liable for something happening—like a car accident, for instance—that generally means you’re legally responsible for the incident.

He said, she said. It’s easy to point fingers after an accident, but when the dust settles and injuries need addressing, who’s really at fault? That’s where Texas liability laws step in, cutting through the confusion to establish accountability and help victims find justice. But it’s not always as simple as pointing to the person […]
Yes, you can sue Walmart if you slip and fall in one of their stores, as businesses that are open to the public have a legal obligation to provide a safe environment for their customers. If they fail in this duty, and that failure results in an injury, the injured party may have grounds to […]
