Damages You Can Recover In A Texas Personal Injury Claim

When you've been hurt in a wreck in Tarrant County, your initial focus will be on your injuries and getting better. But very quickly after your accident the bills start arriving and reality sets in. Why should you be in pain and out a considerable amount of money--all as a result of someone else's mistake? The answer is you shouldn't be.

In order to make things right, you must pursue a claim and attempt to recover what is owedto you. In Texas, the law allows you to recover compensation for the following damages relating to your bodily injury:

1. Medical Bills--This includes everything related to the accident (hospital, surgery, physical therapy, medical equipment, doctors, chiropractic, pharmacy, etc.).
2. Future Medical Bills--as long as a doctor will support that future medical treatment will be needed.
3. Pain and Suffering--all of the physical pain you experience as a result of your injuries is an important part of the recoverable damages.
4. Lost Wages--whether self-employed, hourly or salaried, they are recoverable.
5. Loss earning capacity--these are the wages or salary you are likely to lose in the future due to your injuries.
6. Disfigurement--this includes results like scaring or other physical changes.
7. Impairment--if your life or activities have been impaired due to your injuries.
8. Loss of consortium--this applies when the injuries have affected the private relations of a couple.
