Damages Recoverable in an Accident Case

What damages are recoverable in an injury case?

If you have been hurt as a result of someone else's negligence, you are initially focused on your injuries. Soon, however, the bills start arriving and reality sets in. Why should you be in pain and be out considerable money--all as a result of someone else's mistake? The answer is you shouldn't be out at all. In order to make things right, you must pursue a claim and attempt to recover what is due to you. In Texas, the law allows you to recover compensation for the following damages relating to your bodily injury:

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