Compensation for Personal Injury Damages in Texas
Personal injury damages in Texas can encompass various compensation awards to a victim who has suffered harm due to another party’s negligence or wrongdoing. In Texas, these damages typically fall into economic and noneconomic categories, with punitive damages being a potential third category.
Economic Damages
- Medical expenses. This includes past and future medical bills related to the injury, such as doctor’s visits, hospitalization, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
- Lost earnings. Victims can claim compensation for wages lost due to past and future injuries if the injury prevents them from returning to work or affects their ability to earn an income.
- Property damage. If the accident caused damage to the victim’s property, such as a vehicle in a car accident, repair or replacement costs can be sought.
- Out-of-pocket expenses. This includes costs for services or items the injury requires, like transportation to medical appointments or assistive devices.
Noneconomic Damages
- Pain and suffering. This category encompasses physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish due to the injury.
- Loss of enjoyment of life. Compensation may be sought if the injury has diminished the victim’s ability to enjoy life’s activities or experiences.
- Loss of consortium. In cases where an injury affects a victim’s relationship with their spouse, the spouse may seek damages for the loss of companionship and support.
Punitive Damages
In some instances, punitive damages may be awarded if the at-fault party’s actions are found to be particularly reckless or egregious. These damages are intended to punish wrongdoers and deter others from similar conduct.
It’s important to note that Texas places a cap on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases, as determined by the Texas Medical Liability Act. Additionally, if you are found to be partially responsible for their injuries, the damages awarded may be reduced under the “comparative negligence” principle.
