What Kinds of Damages Could I Recover Through a Claim or Lawsuit?
If someone else caused your accident and injury, we will do a thorough investigation of your case to determine the forms of damages you could seek. Your losses may be both economic and non-economic in nature, and we will fight to recover all losses available in your case.
Damages with a Clear Dollar Value
These damages could include your:
- Medical bills: From your initial emergency room care to your final physical therapy sessions, you could recover all forms of medical costs related to your injuries.
- Lost income: This loss includes income that you were unable to earn because of your injuries.
- Future loss of earning capacity: This loss reflects the income that you will lose in the future because your injury affects your ongoing ability to work.
- Out-of-pocket costs: If you had to spend money on medical assistive devices or other necessities related to your injury, these expenses can also be included.
Damages That are More Intangible
Don’t think that your losses have to have a clear numeric value in order to be considered as part of your settlement or award. We can help you determine if you qualify for damages, such as:
- Pain and suffering: For those who experienced major physical pain from their injuries
- Mental anguish: For those who were left with emotional disturbances after their accident and injuries
Our brain injury lawyers will ask you to tell us more about how your accident in McAllen has affected your life.
When it Takes Months or Years for You to Recover
Traumatic brain injuries can be especially serious, requiring a long-term recovery process. According to Mayo Clinic, severe brain injury can involve bleeding or physical damage to the brain that goes on to cause ongoing complications for the victim.
You could be advised to undergo:
- Physical therapy
- Speech and language therapy
- Occupational therapy
You may also need to work with a neuropsychologist to help you with managing any major changes in your emotional health and behavior regulation.
A brain injury could entail months or years of treatments. If you are expected to require extensive medical care in the future, all of these costs could be included in the value of your case.

How You Know if You Have a Case for Compensation
In short, you have a case when someone else could be deemed legally responsible for causing your injury. As simple as that sounds, proving that someone else is responsible for directly causing you harm can be complicated.
While your brain injury could have resulted from medical malpractice or a motorcycle accident, there are common elements that make a viable case:
- Someone owed you a duty of care.
- They breached that duty of care through a reckless action or careless inaction.
- You were injured as a result
- Your injuries caused you losses.
We will investigate your case to determine if your situation meets these necessary criteria. Then, we can help you move forward with an insurance claim or lawsuit.

Steps You Can Take to set a Strong Foundation for Your Case
While you take time to consider the benefits of working with a lawyer, keep in mind that you don’t have to wait to take important actions that can help your case.
Here are some tips for setting a good foundation for any injury case:
Get a Diagnosis and See Your Treatments Through
One of the ways an insurer can try to deny or challenge your claim is by saying that your injuries aren’t serious. However, if you document that you were hurt and that you had to seek different forms of rehabilitative therapy for months, it’s harder for an insurer to belittle your case.
Don’t Make a Recorded Statement
An insurer may be contacting you, asking you to record comments about the accident’s events. These statements can be used against you, so be careful about what you say to an insurer.
Avoid Posting About Your Injuries on Social Media
Similarly, anything you say on social media about the accident or your injuries can be taken out of context. These comments can be used to show that your injuries weren’t as severe as you’re claiming.
Seek a Consultation with Our Firm Before Accepting an Offer
We can handle all communications and negotiations with an insurer for you. We will work to protect your case’s value and prove that someone else should be held responsible.
We also recommend that you get started with your case as soon as you can in order to protect all of your legal options. Keep in mind that you have two years to file a lawsuit if necessary to seek fair compensation for your injuries, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.
