Houston Personal Injury Lawyers Fighting for Maximum Compensation

A personal injury case is a civil claim filed when someone is injured due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct. Common examples include car and truck accidents, slip and falls, defective products, workplace injuries, and medical malpractice. The injured party (plaintiff) seeks monetary compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by the at-fault party.

Maida Law Firm handles personal injury cases throughout Houston, Sugar Land, and the greater Texas area, including car accidents, 18-wheeler and truck accidents, motorcycle and rideshare crashes, drunk driving and dram shop cases, wrongful death claims, workplace and non-subscriber employer injuries, maritime and Jones Act cases, and defective product liability.

Your personal injury case value depends on the severity of your injuries, total medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent impairment or disfigurement, the at-fault party’s insurance policy limits, and whether punitive damages apply. Texas does not cap most economic damages, but non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases are capped at $250,000 per defendant. Maida Law Firm provides a free case evaluation to estimate your specific claim value.

Compensatory damages reimburse you for actual losses — medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and mental anguish. Punitive (exemplary) damages are awarded under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 41 to punish defendants for gross negligence, malice, or fraud. Texas caps exemplary damages at the greater of $200,000 or two times economic damages plus non-economic damages up to $750,000.

In Texas, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003. Wrongful death claims also have a two-year deadline. Claims against government entities require notice within six months under the Texas Tort Claims Act. Missing these deadlines typically forfeits your right to compensation, so contact Maida Law Firm as soon as possible.
