Abstract In an El Paso personal injury trial, “required causation” is not a legal slogan. It is the clear, documented connection between the specific forces of an accident and the measurable injuries that followed. Without these elements, even a sincere patient story can be dismissed as subjective. With them, the record shows what actually changed after trauma and why that change matters under Texas law. Imagine you are preparing a case after a rear-end collision on I-10 or Loop 375. Your client had occasional stiffness before the crash.
