Damages You Can Recover In A Personal Injury Claim

If you have been hurt in a wreck, 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--as long as a doctor will support future medical treatment will probably be needed.
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.
