Your compensation after a car accident should be based upon your injuries, medical care received, and any future damages. Because the amount of your compensation is based upon these things, they should all be completed and known by you and your McKinney car accident lawyer before asking for adequate compensation. Do not try to hurry and settle your case without knowing all of these factors. Texas allows for many elements of damages, but some of the most common ones are medical bills past/future, physical pain, mental anguish, loss of income, and disfigurement. Your car accident attorney can review your case and determine if other types of recovery are available to you.
