Recoverable Damages for a League City Car Accident Case

In general, some of the factors that play a role in the potential value of your claim include:

  • The serious nature of your injuries;
  • Treatment costs and other required medical care;
  • Your ongoing care costs, or any necessary future care you will likely need;
  • Your prognosis for a lasting impairment or full recovery;
  • The nature of any permanent impairments;
  • Whether you suffered significant disfigurement; and
  • The damage to your vehicle and other personal belongings.

To determine what a fair settlement looks like in your case, we need to calculate your economic damages and estimate your non-economic losses. We could recover a settlement that pays for:

  • Medical care expenses;
  • Ongoing care costs;
  • Lost wages;
  • Lost earning capacity, if you cannot return to your previous job or can no longer work after the car accident;
  • Repair or replacement of your car after the crash;
  • Other damage to personal property;
  • Any other accident-related expenses or losses;
  • Pain and suffering damages; and
  • Wrongful death damages if the crash was fatal to a family member.

The Role of Negligence in a League City Car Accident Case

To win any personal injury  case, we must prove the motorist in question caused the accident by acting negligently. In general, if the other driver broke a traffic law and this led to the crash, you might have a strong case for negligence.

To prove negligence to the insurance company or in court, we will need to show four details were true in your case:

  1. The driver had a duty to drive in a careful and reasonable way;
  2. The driver failed to do this;
  3. Their failure caused your car accident; and
  4. You suffered injuries and financial losses related to the crash.

We launch a full investigation into your car accident, identifying, collecting, and analyzing evidence to try to understand how and why your accident occurred. This process allows us to confirm who is liable for the crash, and to prove how their actions led to your injuries.

Some of the most common types of evidence we use include:

  • The police report filed by the officers who worked your crash;
  • Witness statements and interviews;
  • Data from the survey team we send to the accident site;
  • Other pictures or video from the scene;
  • Video of the crash, when possible;
  • Data from our accident reconstruction specialists; and
  • Examination and documentation of the damage to each vehicle.

We will also try to identify all your accident-related losses and expenses as a part of our investigation. This ensures we know what a fair settlement value looks like if the insurance company offers us a payout. This evidence could include:

  • Your medical bills;
  • Your medical records;
  • Expert testimony about your prognosis and ongoing needs;
  • Experts who estimate your future care costs;
  • Receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses;
  • Estimates or receipts for vehicle repairs or replacement; and
  • Any available evidence to document your pain and suffering damages.

Helping You Navigate the Car Accident Claims Process

We generally try to settle these claims out of court first, through a third-party liability insurance claim. We can sometimes negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company. Trying to recover compensation in this way requires us to:

  • Send a demand letter detailing your case and damages;
  • Reviewing and responding to the insurance company’s response; and
  • Attempting to negotiate a fair settlement based on your losses.

If the insurer denies your claim, refuses to pay out a fair settlement, or we run into other issues, we can file a civil suit against the driver. If we litigate your case, we are asking a judge/jury to decide if you deserve compensation for your injuries and other damages.
