Austin personal injury attorney and Texas accident lawyer David Todd
In addition to your medical expenses you’ve accrued after your Austin car accident, Austin TX lawyers will also look at other damages, such as how the accident has impacted you economically and emotionally when determining the value of your Texas personal injury claim.

Economic and Non-Economic Damages

Suffering a serious Austin car accident injury can leave your life in shambles. You may not be able to work for quite some time and the medical bills will likely continue to mount. Financial factors such as these are known as economic factors and can be proven using documents such as medical bills and tax records.

Fortunately, the law provides an opportunity to recover damages that are intangible, or non-economic, too, such as pain and anguish, although these are somewhat harder to prove.

Your Austin TX lawyers can help detail all your damages for your claim, including:
  • loss of wages;
  • loss of employability;
  • loss of family and social experiences;
  • emotional turmoil, such as stress, depression, and embarrassment; and
  • strains on family and marital relationships due to your injuries.
Proving Your Damages

It’s no easy task to articulate and prove all the damages you’ve experienced after your Austin car accident. When the insurance companies devise a settlement offer for your Texas personal injury claim, they’ll likely try to minimize your damages to reduce the value of your claim.

It’ll be up to you and your attorney to prove all your damages. The more evidence you can collect to demonstrate your injuries and damages, the better you’ll be able to prove your case and receive the settlement you’re entitled to.

With your lawyer, you may be able to collect evidence such as:
  • medical bills;
  • police reports;
  • photographs;
  • an injury journal; and
  • witness information.
If you’re in the midst of filing an Austin car accident injury claim, you’ll want to work closely with your attorney and be as thorough as possible in determining the value of your claim.
