Car accident cases can be complex, often involving various parties such as insurance companies, at-fault drivers, and even vehicle manufacturers. That’s why it’s crucial to have a seasoned legal representative on your side. If you’ve been in a car accident because another driver was not careful, you might be able to ask for money for your losses. The Law Office of Brian Cromeens is here to give you clear, easy-to-understand advice for your situation.
In Texas, compensation from car accident claims is categorized into economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are quantifiable losses that can be directly linked to a specific dollar amount. These may include:
This covers past, ongoing, and future medical expenses related to the accident, such as doctor visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and other treatments.
If your injuries limit your ability to earn a living, you may be compensated for this loss of future income.
If the accident has led to temporary or permanent disability, modifications may need to be made to your home or other property to accommodate your new abilities.
If you’ve had to take time off work to recover from the accident, you may be compensated for these lost wages.
If the accident prevents you from performing your usual daily tasks, you may need to hire services for home cleaning, yard work, childcare, etc. These costs can be included in your claim.
This covers damage to your vehicle and any other property damaged in the crash.
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are awarded
for less tangible but equally significant impacts. These may include:
In some rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded. These are intended to punish particularly negligent or reckless acts and deter similar behavior in the future.
One of the advantages of having an attorney represent your accident claim is their ability to accurately calculate a compensation package that considers past, current, and future medical treatments, needs, disabilities, and other expenses related to your accident.
