Damages in Texas Personal Injury Claims

Damages in personal injury claims can vary greatly depending on the type of personal injury claim that you are bringing.  Common types of personal injury damages include past medical expenses, future lost medical expenses, physical impairment, past lost wages, future lost income, lost earning capacity, disfigurement, and mental anguish. 

Medical Expenses Are a Common Type of Damages in a Personal Injury Claim

One of the most common types of damage that a person can seek compensation for in a personal injury claim is to seek reimbursement for reasonable and necessary medical expenses.  This element of damages includes medical expenses that have been incurred and paid for treatment of injuries sustained in the incident that is the basis of your personal injury claim.  This element of damages often includes medical bills from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, physical therapists, home nurses, and other health care providers.  For anyone that has suffered a serious injury or had a major hospitalization, you are probably aware that medical bills can come in for months after medical care has been provided and it can be an extremely long and complicated process to gather all medical bills that you incurred from a particular incident, determine what has been paid, what needs to paid, and who provided what service on a certain date.  Combining this complexity with insurance company adjusters claiming preexisting conditions, diagnostic care, unnecessary care, co-pays, or subrogation interests, and it can become extremely difficult to determine the proper amount of this element of damages.  

Future lost medical expenses can often be hard to prove as many insurance adjusters often require that future medical expenses be proven accurately and with a strong degree of certainty.  For instance if a twenty year old suffers a serious back problem, they may to have back surgery in ten or twenty years.  Insurance companies will commonly refuse to pay any money for surgeries that have not been done, even though they are likely in the future.  Even if it apparent that an injured person will need to have medication, therapy, and injections for the rest of their lives to take care of a serious injury, many insurance adjusters will fight giving adequate compensation for future medical. 

Physicial Impairment is another Type of Damage in Peronsal Injury Claims

Physical Impairment is an element of person injury damages that is difficult to understand.  Physical Impairment is damage done to a person's body that will impair their ability to function in the future.  An example of this can be a serious knee injury.  The injured person will seek treatment for the injured knee and it may improve, but at some point the knee will not improve anymore. 

In being a Texas Personal Injury attorney, Jason Coomer have been fortunate enough to represent some really good people that had been injured and were caught by the system.  Helping these people obtain compensation for thousands of dollars in medical bills, ten of thousands of dollars for lost wages, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in future lost wages, impairment, disfigurement, and future medical is what being a Texas personal injury lawyer is about.  The compensation has helped individuals go back to school to begin new careers and families hold onto the family home.  Knowing that I have made a difference in people's lives is very rewarding and makes the time battling insurance companies, researching law, reading medical records, deposing experts and negligent actors, working with clients, and tabulating damages worth while.
