Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are unfortunately all too common in Texas, often leading to serious injuries and fatalities. Each year, hundreds of thousands of vehicle collisions occur across the state, causing physical and emotional harm to those involved.
If you’ve been injured in a car crash, taking legal action against the responsible party is crucial. Filing a personal injury claim can help you recover compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repair costs, and more.
How Much Is My Injury Case Worth?
Determining the worth of your injury case can be complex and depends on various factors. A skilled personal injury attorney will carefully assess the circumstances of your accident to evaluate your case. Economic damages, such as medical bills and property damage, are calculated based on actual expenses incurred. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, consider the severity of your injuries and the level of medical care required.
It’s important to be aware that Texas imposes limits on punitive and non-economic damages. Punitive damages are capped at $200,000 or two times the amount of economic damages awarded, while non-economic damages are capped at $750,000.
To maximize the compensation you can recover, seeking early legal representation from a dedicated Texas car accident lawyer is essential.
