What You Can Expect from Your Lawyer Serving Corpus Christi

- Investigating the accident: We will collect all available evidence proving your injuries’ severity and that the liable party is responsible for causing them.

What Damages Are Available in a Catastrophic Injury Case?

Did you lose or spend money because of the accident? You could seek reimbursement for:
- Lost wages or benefits
- Medical expenses
- Property damage
- Other miscellaneous expenses
Personal Life
You relied on your good health to stay in touch with others and maintain good relationships. If your health has negatively impacted your relationships with friends or family members, you can pursue loss of consortium or loss of enjoyment of life.
Physical Health

- Pain and suffering

Mental Health
Some people may overlook the psychological impact of their injuries when it comes to calculating damages. However, mental harm can be just as devastating as physical injuries. Mental injuries may cause:
- Trauma
- Memory loss
- Intellectual disabilities
- Depression and anxiety
Career Aspirations
Catastrophic injuries may make it impossible for you to ever work again or in the same capacity. We’re ready to pursue the harm to your career and job aspirations, including:
- Loss of future earning capacity
- The loss of your job or employment opportunities
- Expenses associated with retraining or educating yourself for a new career
This is not an exhaustive list of recoverable damages in your Corpus Christi injury case. After we evaluate your situation, we can explain what losses you can seek through legal action.
Prompt Legal Action Benefits Your Case in Multiple Ways
Under Texas law, you generally have two years to file your injury lawsuit. The two-year period usually applies whether you personally suffered harm or lost a loved one. If you don’t file your case within this allotted period, you could lose the right to seek damages.
The statute of limitations isn’t the only reason to consider prompt legal action. The sooner you get in touch, the easier it may be for us to:
- Gather time-sensitive evidence, such as traffic camera footage
- Prevent the insurer from contesting your case
- Connect your injuries to your accident
A catastrophic injury lawyer from our office who serves Corpus Christi will manage each of your case’s deadlines. However, we must learn about your case before we can uphold your legal rights.
