When you’re injured in Texas, understanding your rights and securing fair compensation can feel overwhelming. At Herrman & Herrman, we specialize in turning confusion into clarity and fights for the compensation you deserve. Here’s what you need to know about damages in Texas—and how we can help you every step of the way.
Understanding Damages in Texas: Your Right to Compensation
In personal injury cases, financial compensation—called “damages”—is often the only way to address the impact of your injuries. While no amount of money can undo the harm caused by an accident, it can help cover essential costs like medical care, lost wages, and ongoing support.
But navigating the process to claim these damages is no easy task. That’s where we come in.
Medical Bills: Past and Future Costs
If you’ve been injured, medical bills can pile up fast. Texas law allows you to recover both past and future medical expenses.
- Past Medical Bills: These include costs you’ve already incurred, such as emergency care, diagnostic tests, or hospital stays immediately after the accident.
- Future Medical Bills: If your injuries require ongoing treatment—like surgeries, physical therapy, or home healthcare—we work with medical professionals to project those costs and ensure they’re included in your claim.
Without expert legal representation, you could leave money on the table. Our team is skilled at identifying all eligible expenses to maximize your recovery.
Lost Wages: What You Deserve for Time Away from Work
Injuries don’t just impact your health—they affect your ability to earn a living. Texas law allows you to claim damages for both past and future lost wages:
- Past Lost Wages: This covers any work you’ve missed from the date of your injury up until your settlement or court verdict.
- Future Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from returning to work or force you to take a lower-paying job, we ensure you’re compensated for this loss. Whether it’s temporary or permanent, we collaborate with experts to calculate the full extent of your financial impact.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
