Question:
What are potential damages I can receive for a rideshare accident?
Answer:
A client from Beaumont, Texas, who had been in a rideshare crash reached out to us recently. She ended up having to go to the hospital in an ambulance and was out of work for a couple weeks. She also experienced some flashbacks and nightmares from the crash; as such, she wanted to know what damages she was entitled to here in Texas. That is a question we hear a lot. A lot of people want to know, “Am I entitled to damages for emotional pain or mental anguish, or pain and suffering, or physical impairment? What about disfigurement?” There was some glass that broke and cut her, and that’s considered disfigurement here in Texas.
The first thing we want to look at is your medical bills. What kind of injuries did you sustain? What kind of medical bills are out there? The other thing we want to look at is lost wages. How much time have you missed from work? That’s also a part of your damages. Then there’s the non-economic side of your damages— the mental, emotional pain and suffering. That’s unique and special to each person.
Some of the other damages that she’d be entitled to are for the disfigurement and scar. Something else she would be entitled to is physical impairment. Physical impairment is essentially the loss of what brings joy to your life. This includes daily things like playing with the kids, going to exercise, and work out. Whatever it is that brings joy to your life, if that’s been taken from you through someone else’s negligence, you’re entitled to compensation here in Texas.
It’s really important that you get with a personal injury trial attorney who understands these damages and can recover for these damages. As always, legal consultations here at the firm are free. We invite you to give us a call and find out what your case is worth.
