What Damages Can You Recover After an Accident in Huntsville, TX?
Texas allows people hurt by another driver's negligence to seek two main types of damages. Economic damages cover measurable losses like medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs. Noneconomic damages cover harm that doesn't come with a receipt, such as pain, mental anguish, and physical impairment. In rare cases that involve gross negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
Unlike some states, Texas does not cap noneconomic damages in ordinary car claims. Those limits apply mainly to medical malpractice cases. Punitive damages, called exemplary damages in Texas, follow stricter rules.
These damages require clear and convincing proof of fraud, malice, or gross negligence, and they are usually capped at the greater of $200,000 or twice the economic damages plus up to $750,000 in noneconomic damages.
Many claims also include future losses, which are harder to measure. A person who can no longer work full-time may have a claim for lost earning capacity, and someone facing a future surgery may need a doctor's estimate of that cost.
In these cases, a car accident lawyer can work with doctors, economists, and vocational experts to put a dollar value on those long-term losses, which early insurance offers usually leave out.
Knowing which damages may apply can make an insurance offer easier to judge. At Brian C. Gutierrez, PLLC, we can review your medical costs, lost income, and future needs to help you understand how this process may develop for you.
