What Damages Could I Recover in a Construction Accident Case?
You could recover both economic and non-economic damages in a construction accident case. Economic damages refer to monetary losses you incurred as a result of the accident. Non-economic damages refer to subjective losses you incurred that are not associated with a monetary loss.

Economic damages you could recover in a construction accident case include:
- Medical expenses: Costs for emergency room care, ambulance services, surgeries, hospitalizations, medications, or doctor’s visits you incurred could be included in damages.
- Future medical expenses: If your injuries will require medical care after your case is settled, you could recover compensation for projected future medical expenses. Our attorneys will calculate the value of your future medical expenses.
- Lost earnings: If you had to be out of work for a few days or weeks, you could be entitled to recover compensation for lost earnings.
- Future lost earnings: If you are unable to return to work for a long time, or not at all, you could recover lost future earnings. This also includes retirement and medical benefits you may have lost. Our Denton construction accident attorneys can calculate the value of lost future earnings.
Non-economic damages you could recover in a construction accident case include:
- Pain and suffering: You can seek damages if you suffered from physical pain. You could recover compensation.
- Loss of enjoyment: If you are no longer able to enjoy hobbies, sports, or other activities you once enjoyed because of your injuries, you could be entitled to loss of enjoyment damages.
- Emotional distress: You could be entitled to recover emotional distress damages if you suffered from negative psychological impacts because of the accident or your injuries. Negative psychological impacts could include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or sleep issues.
