Then there’s the money. Unfortunately, the type of medical care that many personal injury survivors need is not cheap, or even basically affordable for the vast majority of Americans. The cost of this care is often so steep that a person or family’s life savings can be wiped out in a single day. So, as your personal injury robs you of so many things you once took for granted about your body, it may also eat up your life savings, and rob you of your financial stability and independence.

Importantly, this applies whether or not you have insurance. Having insurance doesn’t mean that your medical costs will be entirely or even partially covered. Personal injury survivors who do have insurance often have to fight their insurance company (as well as those of any liable parties’) tooth and nail for any coverage at all.

Even if a survivor or their family member manages to wring coverage out of their insurance company, without the help of a personal injury attorney, survivors are still likely to face significant medical debt.

Often, this problem is worsened significantly by the fact that the injured person is unlikely to be able to work in the same capacity, at least temporarily—and sometimes permanently. So as a personal injury survivor recovering from the physical devastation of your accident, you have these new, outrageously steep medical bills falling on your doorstep, having also just taken the financial blow of an absent paycheck, which may stay absent indefinitely.

Personal injury survivors and their families often have to bear the cost and consequences of the accident that harmed them, despite not being responsible for that accident in the first place. The accidents that cause personal injuries are generally caused by someone else, at least in part, either due to the other party’s negligence, recklessness, inattention, or even malice.

Having to shoulder that whole burden on their own is incredibly unfair, and is infuriating, distressing, and anxiety-inducing to many personal injury survivors. It is therefore understandable that many personal injury survivors and their families often find themselves completely overwhelmed, terrified, and at a loss for what to do next.

However, there is some good news. Personal injury survivors can fight back. With the right Houston personal injury attorney, survivors may recover extensive damages, which can include:

• Medical bills and expenses (past, present and future)
• Lost wages (past, present and future)
• Non-economic damages (i.e., pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, etc.)
• Any other damages relevant to your case
