What Can You Recover from a Personal Injury Claim?

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to pursue compensation from an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. 

Depending on the nature of your injuries and other losses, you could recover money for:

• Medical expenses: Any expenses you incur for the treatment of your injuries, including ambulance rides, hospital stays, surgeries, and doctors’ visits
• Lost wages: The value of any income losses you suffer as a result of the time you miss from work while you recover from your injuries
• Future losses: The estimated value of your expected future losses, such as the medical expenses you will likely incur in the future and the projected value of losses in your future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering: The intangible value of the physical pain, emotional suffering, and losses in quality of life you endured as a result of your injuries
• Incidental costs: Any out-of-pocket expenses you incur as a result of your injuries, such as the costs of travel to and from accident-related medical appointments
• Property damage: The costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle or any other personal property that was damaged in the accident

What to Do If You Got Hurt by Someone Else’s Negligence

In the aftermath of a severe injury, it can be challenging to know where to turn first. 

You can protect your legal rights and establish a strong foundation for your injury claim by:

• Seeking prompt medical attention for your injuries
• Following your doctor’s care plan and attending all follow-up appointments
• Gathering as much evidence as possible from the accident scene
• Asking eyewitnesses for statements and contact information
• Refusing to provide recorded statements to the insurance company
• Avoiding social media posts or activity while your claim is pending
• Keeping track of medical bills and other accident-related documents
• Contacting a knowledgeable lawyer as soon as possible

Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims

If you believe you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit, you should familiarize yourself with the statute of limitations laws that could affect your case. A statute of limitations is a special type of law that imposes strict time limits on your ability to take certain kinds of legal action, such as filing a civil lawsuit.

When it comes to personal injury lawsuits, Texas law says you must file your suit no later than two years from “the day the cause of action accrues.” This means you have two years from the date of the accident that caused your injuries to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party.

If you try to file a personal injury lawsuit after the two-year deadline has expired, the at-fault party can ask a judge to dismiss your case, and the court will almost certainly do so. However, certain exceptions may apply if the injured person is legally disabled or the at-fault party leaves the state.

Keep in mind that if the at-fault party in your case is a Texas government agency or employee, you generally may not file a lawsuit against them directly. Instead, you must file a formal claim with the appropriate agency within six months of your injury, and often even sooner. The City of Houston, for example, requires you to file within 90 days.
