Compensation for Personal Injuries

In Texas, there are two main types of damages available in personal injury claims. These are economic and non-economic damages. In rare cases, exemplary damages, also known as punitive damages, may be available.

Economic damages are those that are easily quantifiable. Economic damages include losses such as medical bills, lost income, prescription medication, and household services you can no longer perform.

Non-economic damages are losses you suffered as a result of the accident but that don’t have an actual dollar value. These include losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment.

In some cases, a judge or jury may award punitive damages. This is typically only in cases where the defendant showed gross negligence, or extreme recklessness or carelessness. These damages are meant to punish the defendant and deter them from the same type of behavior in the future.

Steps in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Our Houston personal injury attorneys will guide you through the many steps of filing a personal injury claim. Typically, we will start by investigating your claim and negotiating with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If your case must proceed to court, the general steps you can expect include:

Filing a complaint: The complaint outlines your injuries and the claims you are making against the at-fault party. These are filed with the courts, and the filing officially begins the process of the lawsuit.

Serving and answering the complaint: A copy of the complaint is delivered to the defendant, who then has a chance to respond to your claims.

Discovery: Both sides will then move into the discovery stage, which allows everyone to obtain information and evidence from the other side. This is often a long process filled with pre-trial motions as each side tries to bar evidence from appearing in court.

Mediation: Before the trial actually begins, both sides will attempt to resolve the dispute in mediation. This is when most personal injury claims are settled, without the need for a trial. Negotiations will occur, and if an amount is agreed upon, a settlement agreement is drafted. If the two sides cannot agree, the case will go to trial.

Trial: Trials begin with the judge deciding on pre-trial motions that will affect the trial. This is followed by the jury selection process, after which, the trial will begin. After hearing from both sides, the jury will make their decision.

While these steps sound relatively simple, personal injury claims are often a lengthy process. Our Houston personal injury attorneys will explain what’s happening every step of the way.

Time Limit to File Personal Injury Lawsuits in Texas

In Texas, accident victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. This is known as the statute of limitations. If the statute of limitations expires, you are likely barred from receiving compensation.

However, Texas does allow some exceptions to this rule. All accident victims should speak to a Houston personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to make sure time on their claim does not run out.
