The experienced Texas car accident lawyers listed on this website are ready to start fighting for your rights.
Texas Traffic Accident Damages
Compensatory damages include your existing and future economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages have a specific dollar value although future economic damages must be estimated. Noneconomic damages are the personal losses, such as pain and suffering, that do not have a specific dollar value and are generally much more meaningful to accident victims than their economic losses.
Economic damages include:
- Medical expenses and future medical expenses
- Home health care
- Custodial care
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Special equipment and home modifications to accommodate disability
- Lost income and future lost income
- Lost earning capacity
Noneconomic damages include:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental or emotional anguish
- Disfigurement
- Physical impairment
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium

If You Were Partly to Blame
Texas law allows accident victims to recover compensation when they are partly to blame for their injuries. If the jury find that you are no more than 50% at fault, you can still recover compensation, but your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. So, if your damages are $100,000 and you are found to be 25% to blame, your damages will be reduced to $75,000. In Texas, this is referred to as “proportionate responsibility”.
