What Compensation Can You Recover in a Texas Personal Injury Case?
Texas law allows injured victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages to cover the full financial and personal impact an injury has.
Economic damages include monetary expenditures like medical bills, anticipated future treatment, lost income, diminished future earning capacity, and property damage.
Non-economic damages address the personal effects of an injury that don’t have a precise monetary value. These include pain and suffering, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, and loss of consortium, among other losses.
An experienced personal injury attorney in Texas can help you track every loss you’ve incurred and establish their true value, with the assistance of financial and economic experts when necessary.
What if the Insurance Company Blames You for the Accident?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident, as long as you’re found less than 51% at fault. In these instances, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but they won’t be eliminated unless your level of fault exceeds 50%.
For example, if your damages total $100,000 and you’re found 13% at fault, you’d still be entitled to $87,000. But you would not be entitled to any damages once your portion of fault reaches 51%.
Insurance adjusters are infamous for using this rule to try to inflate an injured person’s share of fault. Don’t accept those allegations without a fight. Our attorneys know how to challenge unfair blame tactics and protect the full value of your claim.
How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Texas?
To have an actionable claim, you must file your claim within two years of the date of the personal injury. The same two-year mark typically applies to wrongful death claims.
Failing to comply with this deadline usually means losing your right to pursue compensation through the court system. Therefore, you should not wait to pursue your case.
