What is Your Personal Injury Case Worth?

Every personal injury case has a value or worth based on the harm that the plaintiff has experienced due to the negligence of the defendant. What will your case be worth? Our Houston personal injury attorneys can investigate the circumstances of your case and injuries to accurately calculate your damages, factoring in future losses and hardships, too.

Two types of damage categories apply to most personal injury claims filed in Texas, including:

Economic: Tangible losses and damages that can be tracked using receipts, bills, salary reports, etc. are called economic damages. The most common examples of economic damages are medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, reduced future incoming-earning ability, and property damage.
Non-economic: Intangible losses and harm that can’t be easily quantified but are no less important for it are called non-economic damages. The most common examples of non-economic damages are pain, suffering, hardship caused by disability, lessened enjoyment of life, and shortened life expectancy.

Texas Personal Injury Laws

A few important Texas personal injury laws that you should know if you file an injury claim are:

Statute of limitations: The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Texas is two years, starting on the date of the accident or injury. If two years pass from the starting date and no claim is filed, the court can reject any claim filed with it after. Keep in mind that some cases may have statutes of limitations that are shorter than two years, so it is advisable to speak with our legal team soon after being injured.
Modified comparative negligence: Texas uses a modified comparative negligence standard for personal injury claims. Under this rule, any damages recovered by the plaintiff will be reduced by the percentage of their liability. If that liability percentage is 51% or greater, though, the plaintiff can’t recover any damages. This rule makes it very important to work with a personal injury attorney who can argue to keep your liability percentage low.
Damage caps: In general, Texas law will not place damage caps on personal injury claims or lawsuits, especially when considering economic damages. However, if your case involves the negligence of a medical provider or a government or municipal entity, damage caps on non-economic damages might apply.

Our Process: How We Handle Your Personal Injury Claim

When you're dealing with a personal injury claim, you can count on us to guide you through every step. Your rights are worth protecting, and that’s just what we’ll do while we pursue the compensation you deserve.

When representing a personal injury client, our process usually includes at least these steps:

Check filing options: Assessing whether your situation justifies legal action through a personal injury claim.
Investigate liability: Gathering and analyzing evidence to establish who is responsible for your injury.
Calculate damages: Accurately determining the financial and non-financial impact of your injury, including medical bills, lost wages, and emotional pain.
Negotiate: Attempting to negotiate a fair settlement by dealing with insurance companies or opposing parties.
Pursue litigation: Representing you in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.

Houston Personal Injury FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Houston?
Hiring our Houston personal injury attorneys is made affordable to virtually everyone because we offer contingency fees. Under this payment system, you won’t be expected to pay any attorney fees unless the case ends in your favor, such as by getting a settlement or award. Contingency fees are also set to a percentage of your total winnings, so they are never more than what you can afford to pay.
How long will my personal injury case take?
Different personal injury cases will take different amounts of time to resolve. Some cases that are successfully settled might take around 9 months to resolve, which is on the quicker side of things. Other cases that go to courtroom litigation could take around 2 years. We can’t guarantee how long your case will take, but we can say that we always work to avoid any unnecessary delays.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
If you were partially at fault for your accident and injuries, Texas modified comparative negligence law still allows you to seek compensation from any party that is also at fault. If your total liability percentage meets or exceeds 51%, though, you may lose the option to recover damages from other parties.
What types of evidence are most important for my injury case?
Our legal team knows where to look for compelling evidence that can strengthen your injury case based on the type of accident you were in. First responder reports, medical records, eyewitness statements, and photographs and video footage from the scene of the accident or incident tend to be the most important and helpful.
Will my injury case go to trial?
Not all injury cases go to trial, but every case has the potential to go to trial if the defendant/liable party doesn’t want to cooperate. At Fertitta & Givens, we’ve gone head-to-head with some very stubborn defendants in the past, so we know to prepare every case we take as if it will go to trial. If your case does, we will be ready to handle all litigation procedures while acting on your behalf.
