Establishing Liability
For nerve damage claims filed in Harris, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific Houston locations, including I-45 (Gulf Freeway) between downtown and Galveston.
Nerve damage claims require specialized medical evidence including nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) testing to document the location and severity of nerve injury. Neurologist testimony is essential for explaining how the accident mechanism caused the specific nerve damage and what the long term prognosis will be. Because nerve damage is often permanent and progressive, these cases carry significant lifetime damages that insurance companies aggressively contest.
Relevant Texas Law
Residents of Houston pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.
Texas courts allow recovery for chronic pain conditions resulting from nerve damage, including complex regional pain syndrome, under the standard damages framework of Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Future medical expenses for nerve damage often include lifetime pain management, nerve block injections, spinal cord stimulators, and medications. Texas has no damage cap for actual damages in negligence cases, allowing full recovery for the substantial lifetime costs associated with permanent nerve injuries.
