In Texas, if you have suffered a serious injury as a result of someone else's actions, you may be entitled to file a legal claim for financial compensation, also known as damages. The types of damages allowed by Texas courts include:
- Lost wages
- Disfigurement
- Medical care
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
If a personal injury has caused the death of a loved one, Texas law also allows certain family members to file a claim for wrongful death. Damages awarded in a wrongful death claim may include:
- Loss of companionship
- Mental anguish
- Pecuniary loss – the loss of care, maintenance and financial support resulting from the death of victims who were primary wage-earners within their family
While TX law enables victims and their families to try to recover compensation for personal injuries, there are limits on the amounts. For example, in 2003 the Texas Legislature implemented changes that set limits on the damages victims could recover in medical malpractice personal injury cases. Because of these limits, it's important to have the assistance of an experienced personal injury lawyer who can argue for the maximum compensation on your behalf.
