Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are unfortunately common occurrences in Texas, often leading to significant injuries and fatalities. Annually, our state witnesses hundreds of thousands of reported vehicle collisions, resulting in both physical and emotional harm for those involved. If you’ve been injured in a car crash, it is essential to take legal action against the responsible party. Filing a personal injury claim provides an opportunity to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repair costs, and more.
Value Of Your Claim
it can be difficult to determine how much your claim is worth initially as it requires a careful evaluation by a knowledgeable personal injury attorney. Economic damages are calculated based on actual expenses incurred, including medical costs, property damage statements, pay stubs, and related costs. Non-economic damages vary with the severity of injuries, required medical care, and other factors.
It’s important to be aware that Texas imposes caps on certain damages. Punitive damages are limited to $200,000 or up to two times the economic damages awarded, while non-economic damages are capped at $750,000. Seeking legal representation early on from a dedicated Texas car accident lawyer is crucial to maximizing your compensation recovery.
