Catastrophic injuries can happen in many ways. Vehicle crashes make up a significant portion of those fatalities, but the leading cause of unintentional injuries is poisoning. Other potentially disastrous events include falls, dog bites, and many different scenarios.

If another person’s carelessness caused your accident, do not accept a simple settlement. Let our attorney fight to ensure you receive truly fair compensation.
You Have the Right to Total Compensation
When someone causes serious injuries and losses to you due to their negligent behavior, you have the right to seek compensation. To do so, we must demonstrate negligence in that the at-fault party must have owed you a duty of care, violated that duty of care, caused the accident to happen, and resulted in financial losses.
Most often, we seek compensation through a settlement; however, in some cases, we may need to go to court to recover damages.
Your compensation may encompass a wide variety of economic damages, which are tangible, and non-economic damages, which are intangible.
Medical Expenses
Your injury may necessitate a visit to a doctor or hospital. If this happens, the court will consider holding the defendant liable for your medical bills and determine the amount based on what you paid for your treatment. The insurance company may cover a portion of your damages, while we may seek the rest through your lawsuit.
Pain and Suffering
If you were seriously injured, you likely experienced severe suffering as a result of the defendant’s actions or inaction. Texas courts take the suffering you already experienced into account.
Lost Wages
Suppose the accident caused you to miss work because of doctor’s appointments or hospitalization. In that case, the liable party may reimburse you for the salary or wages you lost due to medical treatment and healing.
Lost Earning Capacity
Lost earning capacity means your ability to earn the same level of income you received before the personal injury event has decreased as a result of the injury.
If you can no longer perform the work you once did for the same amount of pay or your future career prospects are inhibited due to the injury you suffered, the court will consider awarding an amount to compensate for this loss of earning capacity.
Property Damage
An attorney can help you through the legal process, potentially bringing you the funds you need to cover the costs of repairing any property damaged in the accident.
The Basis on Which You Can Claim Personal Injury
Most successful injury claims prove a degree of negligence, meaning the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care, breached this duty of care, caused injury as a result of the breach of duty of care, and caused the plaintiff to suffer damages resulting from this injury.
In personal injury claims in Texas, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33, the plaintiff must, therefore, establish that a legal duty of care by the defendant existed and that the defendant did indeed breach this duty.
Your personal injury lawyer in Houston with Lowe Law must show that causation exists between the defendant’s breach of duty and the suffering and that the incurred damages are due to the suffering caused by the defendant. They will represent you when dealing with insurance companies after a truck accident.
How We Calculate Pain and Suffering in Texas
Attorneys use the “multiplier method” to determine the judgment amount in these cases. First, the court assesses the total sum of economic and non-economic damages that the plaintiff has suffered. Economic damages — such as medical bills, rental car expenses, etc., are the financial losses the plaintiff incurred as a result of the injurious event.
Non-economic damages are the “invisible” damages, like emotional or psychological trauma or the loss of companionship when a loved one dies. Second, the judge or jury decides the severity and duration of the damages done to the plaintiff.
The value of your losses depends, at least in part, on how well your Houston personal injury lawyers can prove your case. Expect us to be diligent in building a strong and clear personal injury case following a truck accident.

Frequently Asked Personal Injury Questions
Our team can give you the answers you need after a crash, including for questions like:
How Long Do I Have to File an Injury Claim in Texas?
For the majority of injury claims in Texas, the maximum time that can pass between the actual injurious event and a claim being filed (referred to as the statute of limitations in legal terms) is two years under Tex. Civ. Pract. & Proc. Code §16.003.
There are, however, exceptions, for example, when an accident involves a minor child or when the plaintiff did not recognize the damage done to him until a later time, as is often the case with medical malpractice suits and product liability cases.
To ensure you do not miss this critical deadline, call Lowe Law immediately after suffering an injury caused by someone else’s negligence in a truck accident. We will help you file your personal injury claim.
How Much Is the Average Settlement in a Houston Car Accident?
The money available to car accident injury victims varies on a case-by-case basis, so most lawyers do not focus on average claim values. Instead, they focus on each client’s individual losses.
What If I Was Partially at Fault in an Accident in Texas?
If you are partially responsible for an accident, you may still qualify to receive compensation for your losses. However, the court system will reduce the compensation you receive based on your percentage of liability.
Do Personal Injury Cases in Houston Go to Trial?
Some personal injury claims will go to trial in our area. However, in most cases, insurance companies end up settling these cases out of court. You can work with a personal injury trial law firm to feel confident about getting the jury verdict you deserve if you need to file a lawsuit.
How Do Contingency Fees Work?
The contingency-fee system means that attorneys only get paid for legal fees after they fully resolve a client’s claim. We can tell you more about this system and how it works under Texas law when you contact us for help.
