Our Personal Injury Attorneys in El Paso Will Help You
Abuse and neglect cases can raise difficult questions. A person may know that something went wrong but have trouble finding out who knew about it, when the problem started, or whether someone could have prevented it.
Our personal injury lawyers in El Paso will investigate those questions. We also gather medical and treatment records, interview witnesses, review facility records, and look for evidence showing how the harm occurred. Our firm’s verdicts and settlements include recoveries of $250 million, $200 million, and $52 million in complex cases.
We have also recovered compensation in therapist abuse cases, including a $1.2 million award and several settlements. These results came from specific cases, and the outcome of a new claim will depend on its evidence and circumstances.

Liability in El Paso Personal Injury Cases
The person who directly caused an injury is not always the only party who may be responsible for the harm. In a nursing home case, liability may involve an employee, caregiver, nursing home operator, management company, or another party responsible for the resident’s care. The answer depends on what happened and each party’s role.
Therapist cases can involve the therapist’s own conduct. Depending on the facts, a practice, employer, or other organization may also need to be investigated. Our El Paso abuse and injury lawyer will look beyond the immediate act to see whether failures by a facility, employer, or organization also contributed to the harm.

Texas Limits the Time to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, a personal injury lawsuit generally must be filed within two years of the injury. The same statute generally gives a person two years to bring an action for an injury resulting in death. The two-year period generally begins on the date of death.
Other rules may affect the filing deadline in a particular case. An attorney from Jenner Law can determine which deadline applies based on the facts.
