Recoverable Damages in Personal Injury Cases
If your attorney can prove the responsible party’s liability, you may be able to recover compensation for the ways the accident impacted you financially. The harms you suffer are known as your damages.
Depending on the specifics of your case, recoverable damages may include:
- All the medical costs associated with your injuries
- The estimated future costs of all medical care
- Property damage, such as car repair or replacement costs after an auto accident
- Lost wages for the time you had to miss at work while recovering
- Reduced earning capacity, if your ability to earn has been permanently diminished
- Pain and suffering, both mentally and emotionally

It is also possible to get compensation if you are a family member of a person who passed away due to an injury. You will need to file a wrongful death claim in this situation.

We will work to collect evidence of your damages and assign a fitting monetary value to your case. With more evidence, we build a stronger case for the compensation you truly deserve. Evidence of your damages may come from:
- Medical bills
- Documents from your employer

Deadlines for Personal Injury Claims in Texas
It is important to be aware of the legal deadlines that apply to civil lawsuits in Texas. The statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in Texas is generally two years, as set by Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003.
A general two-year statute of limitations also applies to medical malpractice lawsuits, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §74.251. However, some circumstances, such as suing a government agency or filing a medical malpractice claim for a person under the age of 12, could alter these deadlines and require you to act within different timelines.
Failing to act before the deadline expires can mean that you lose the legal right to pursue compensation for the harms you suffered. Speak with a member of our team today to ensure that your claim is filed as soon as possible.
