As a Texas medical doctor and Personal Injury attorney, I am providing this information and commentary. A catastrophic personal injury or a wrongful death claim involves serious injuries such as loss of vision, paralysis, brain damage, major burns, amputations, multiple fractures, and spinal cord injuries.  If you were injured or permanently maimed as a result of the reckless or negligent actions or inactions of another person or a company, Texas law allows you to seek compensation and in some cases, punitive damages. Catastrophic personal injuries turn into wrongful death claims if the injured person dies from the accident. If you or a loved one was fatally injured, immediate family members (spouse, children or parents) may be able to bring a wrongful death claim.

If a loved one or relative dies because of personal injury, wrongful death compensation may be given for: funeral expenses, medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, future loss of earning capacity, pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, impairment, loss of emotional support and companionship provided by spouse or parent; and loss of household duties provided by spouse or parent.
