Why You Need a Texas City Personal Injury Lawyer

A severe injury can mean months of recovery without being able to earn an income, causing bills to pile up. On top of that, battling an insurance company for the compensation you need can be overwhelming. With a Texas City personal injury lawyer representing you, every aspect of your case will be handled for you. Their extensive court experience combined with knowledge of insurance and personal injury laws will be invaluable to your financial recovery. An attorney will know how to deal with the insurance company and will not back down until you recover the fair amount of compensation you deserve.  

Types of Compensation You Can Recover

Personal injury victims are often entitled to recover the following types of compensation. 

• Medical bills: past, current, and future costs for any medical care or related expenses.
• Lost wages: past, current, and future lost income due to your recovery. This can include diminished earning capacity, which is the difference in income that you can make now compared to before the accident.
• Pain and suffering: compensation for the physical and psychological pain and discomfort you have had to endure and will in the future. Some states limit this type of compensation, but Texas only does when it is a claim against the government or a case of medical malpractice.  
• Loss of enjoyment of life: your injuries may prevent you from enjoying the activities you used to do before the accident, such as hobbies, exercising, etc. 
• Punitive Damages: This compensation is rarely awarded and intended to punish a guilty party for gross negligence or egregious behavior. 

Personal Injury Laws in Texas City

Statute of Limitations

Texas has a statute of limitations limiting the amount of time personal injury victims in Texas City have to file a claim. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident. Filing beyond this deadline will result in your case being dismissed, and you will be unable to recover any compensation. 

Modified Comparative Negligence 

Modified comparative negligence is a law used when determining liability and assigns each party involved in an accident a percentage of fault. Each party’s fault percentage will directly impact how much compensation they either owe or will receive. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but found 30% at fault for your injuries, you will recover 70% of your award or $70,000. However, if you are over 50% at fault for the accident, you cannot receive compensation. This is known as the state’s 51% bar rule.
