There is no set amount of compensation paid to catastrophic injury victims in the Houston area. The reality is that there are several factors that will be examined throughout the course of the claim that will be taken into account. Some of the main factors that affect catastrophic injury claim values include the severity of the injury and how long it takes a person to recover. Other factors include a person’s ability to return to work (or not) and whether or not they sustain any loss of earning potential by having to work a lower-paying job.
Other factors that can influence the value of a catastrophic injury claim include whether or not there was any shared fault for the incident. This could reduce how much compensation a person receives.
