Tyler Personal Injury Lawyers

Compensation Available in Personal Injury Cases

Under Texas law, you have the right to be “made whole” through monetary compensation. To use a legal term, the law entitles you “damages,” or compensation awarded to an injured preson to cover their losses and the suffering caused by an injury. Here are some of the major categories of damages:

• Economic Damages
  • Medical Expenses: Money to cover costs like doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and therapy.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income you missed out on because you couldn’t work after the injury.
  • Property Damage: Money to fix or replace your damaged car or other property.
  • Loss of Earning Capacity: Compensation for future income you won’t earn because of a long-term or permanent disability.
• Non-Economic Damages
  • Pain and Suffering: Money for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the incident and/or injury.
  • Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the negative impact on your relationship with your spouse.
  • Mental Anguish: Money for psychological effects like anxiety, depression, and trauma.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for not being able to enjoy daily activities and hobbies anymore.
  • Disfigurement: Money for permanent changes to your appearance, like scarring or other physical alterations.
• Exemplary (Punitive) Damages
  • Purpose: These are awarded to punish the person who caused your injuries for extremely careless or intentional actions and to prevent them from doing it again.
