Available Damages in Texas
If you were injured in an accident that was someone else's fault, you may be entitled to compensation for a number of different damages. Texas law separates personal injury damages into three categories: economic, non-economic, and exemplary.
Economic Damages
Economic damages cover the monetary aspects of a personal injury. Because economic damages are quantifiable, they are often easier to prove in an insurance claim. One can seek these types of damages to help address problems like:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Property damages
- Loss of wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Funeral costs (in the case of wrongful death)
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are more difficult to quantify. They are awarded to compensate for intangible effects of a personal injury, such as:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Embarrassment
- Decreased quality of life due to injuries
- Physical disfigurement or impairment
- Loss of consortium (loss of relationship with a spouse or partner)
Exemplary Damages
Exemplary damages are designed to punish responsible parties for especially negligent or intentionally harmful behavior. In order to receive exemplary damages, you must prove by clear and convincing evidence that your injury resulted from fraud, malice, or gross negligence. Examples of third-party actions that may result in exemplary damages include:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Purposely creating a tripping hazard
- Prescribing a medication listed as an allergy on your medical records
To find out which types of damages you may qualify for, reach out to us at the Littleton Law Firm in Houston. We're ready to fight for the full amount you deserve.
