How We Prove Liability
Paralysis cases are among the highest value personal injury claims because of the extraordinary lifetime costs involved. Establishing liability requires connecting the defendant negligent act to the specific mechanism that caused the paralysis. Life care planning experts project the cost of wheelchairs, home modifications, personal care attendants, medical equipment, and ongoing therapy that a paralysis victim will need for the rest of their life.
Texas Legal Framework
Texas law permits recovery of all actual damages with no statutory cap in negligence based paralysis cases, including future medical expenses projected over the victim remaining life expectancy. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 41.008 limits exemplary damages but does not cap compensatory damages for catastrophic injuries. Expert economist testimony calculating present value of future losses is routinely admitted in Texas courts for paralysis cases.
A spinal cord injury from a car accident can change your life in an instant. The medical costs alone can reach millions of dollars over a lifetime. Texas law allows you to recover compensation for all of your losses, but building a strong case requires understanding the medical and legal complexities involved.
When a serious injury changes your relationship with your spouse, Texas law recognizes that the spouse who was not physically injured has also suffered a real and compensable loss. A loss of consortium claim allows the uninjured spouse to seek damages for the destruction of the marital relationship caused by someone else's negligence.
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
