What compensation can I request for a personal injury?
Although the laws vary by state, in a Texas personal injury or product liability case you could receive compensation for compensatory and punitive damages. Punitive damages can be awarded by a court after compensatory damages, and are a way of providing additional compensation deserved when not adequately provided through compensatory damages.
Compensatory damages include all direct and consequential losses associated with the injuries, such as:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income
- Loss of the ability to produce an income
- Damages to property
- Pain and suffering, mental anguish
- Cost of household services needed as you recover
- Loss of consortium
One of our injury lawyers can help you determine the extent of current losses you’ve incurred as well as expected future losses.
