Understanding Nerve Damage Cases

Common Causes

  • Compression and stretching injuries during car accidents
  • Surgical errors that sever or damage nerves
  • Crush injuries in workplace and construction accidents
  • Lacerations that cut through nerve fibers
  • Electrocution injuries damaging the nervous system
  • Herniated discs compressing spinal nerve roots

Typical Injuries

  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) with severe chronic pain
  • Brachial plexus injuries causing arm weakness or paralysis
  • Peripheral neuropathy with burning, tingling, and numbness
  • Sciatic nerve damage causing leg pain and weakness
  • Loss of fine motor control in hands and fingers
  • Autonomic nerve damage affecting organ function

Establishing Liability

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

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.
