Understanding Compensation in Texas Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury cases can be complex and overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding how compensation is calculated. If you are a Houston resident who has been injured due to someone else's negligence, it is crucial to know your rights and the options available to you. In this blog post, we will explore how compensation is calculated in Texas personal injury cases, who pays the compensation to the victims, and how Manfred Sternberg & Associates can assist the Houston public with personal injury matters.


Calculating Compensation


In Texas personal injury cases, compensation is typically calculated based on several factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. The goal of compensation is to help the victim recover from their injuries and get their life back on track. To determine the amount of compensation owed to the victim, various aspects of the case are taken into consideration including the severity of the injuries, long-term effects of the injuries, and any emotional distress caused by the accident.


Who Pays Compensation


In most cases, the at-fault party's insurance company is responsible for paying compensation to the victims. This could be an individual or a business entity that caused the accident due to negligence or wrongful actions. However, if the at-fault party does not have insurance or if their insurance coverage is insufficient to cover all damages, other avenues may need to be explored such as filing a lawsuit against them personally.
