How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
One of the first questions clients ask after an accident is: “How much is my case worth?” The answer depends on a variety of factors, but if you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to significant compensation under Texas law.
At Crash Law Firm, PLLC, our experienced legal team will help you understand the value of your case—and fight to make sure you get every dollar you deserve.
Factors That Determine the Value of a Personal Injury Case in Texas
1. The Severity of Your Injuries
The more serious your injuries, the more your case may be worth. Texas law allows compensation for both economic damages (like medical bills) and non-economic damages (like pain and suffering). Catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or permanent disability often lead to higher settlements or verdicts.
2. Medical Expenses
Your case value includes:
- Past and future medical bills
- Surgery and hospital costs
- Prescription medications
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
We work with medical experts to estimate the total lifetime cost of your injuries so you're not left paying out of pocket down the road.
3. Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
If your injury has kept you out of work—or impacted your ability to earn in the future—you may be entitled to:
- Lost income
- Future lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
4. Pain and Suffering
Texas law allows compensation for emotional distress, physical pain, and loss of enjoyment of life. These damages can be substantial, especially in serious or permanent injury cases.
5. Liability and Negligence
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover compensation. If you're less than 51% at fault, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
6. Insurance Policy Limits
The amount of available insurance coverage often places a cap on the potential payout—unless there are multiple liable parties or assets that can be pursued.
Average Personal Injury Settlements in Texas
While no two cases are the same, here are some rough estimates:
- Minor injury cases: $10,000 – $50,000*
- Moderate injuries (e.g., broken bones, surgery): $50,000 – $250,000*
- Severe/catastrophic injuries: $250,000 – $1 million+*
- Wrongful death: Often over $500,000, depending on the circumstances*
* These are estimates and represent high end results. Result will vary based on the stated factor and no specific number is guaranteed.
