Serving the injured of Texas since 1984…
Texas is an at-fault state for personal injury claims. If you can prove that someone else caused your injury, you could receive compensation for your loss. Economic damages are the financial losses incurred because of the accident and your injuries.
Economic damages in a personal injury case can include:
- Cost of medical care and treatment
- Losses of income, including diminished earning capacity and benefits
- In-home health care and personal care
- Travel expenses to and from medical appointments
- Out-of-pocket costs for medications and medical supplies
- The cost of paying someone to perform household chores
Reasonable and necessary financial expenses can be included in a personal injury claim. However, you must have proof of each expense to recover compensation for the loss.
Can I file a lawsuit for my personal injury accident?
Yes. Many times, filing a personal injury lawsuit is the best way to get the money you deserve. It isn’t the only way. That’s why you should talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. That way, you can have all the facts and decide what the best approach is in your specific case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Texas?
In Texas, you have two years from the date of your accident, in most cases, to take legal action. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. Two years might seem like a long time. The reality is, the longer you wait, the more difficult it often becomes to find the facts you need to build a strong legal case.
