Future damages are the un-incurred costs for treatment you need in order to get back to a position you would have been had you not have been injured by the defective product. The goal of every case we fight is to put our client back to their status quo. The status quo for a particular client is the pinpointed physical, emotional, and sometimes financial position they were in the moment before being injured by the defective product. Many times, to get a person back to their status quo will never be met. Other times, a person will be fully recovered from the treatment they undergo. To some, the treatment process is perpetual. Thus, future damages are an essential damage claim to account for what has not been incurred as of yet, but what will eventually need to be incurred to get you back to your status quo. Future pain and suffering, future lost wages and loss of earning capacity also fall within the future damage category.

The negative emotional reaction to an event which resulted from the defective product. If you were harmed by a defective product, such an event could cause mental trauma which could last a lifetime.

Pain and suffering damages are the painful experience that injured persons have to endure following physical pain or emotional distress received from a defective product. Because there is no clear way to resolve pain and suffering damages, some courts have calculated pain and suffering damages by the daily suffering evaluation from the injuries one receives from a defective product. Most courts, however, calculate pain and suffering based on a severity number (1, which is the least severe pain one endures through 5, the most severe pain one endures) and multiplies the claimant’s total economic losses by the severity number. Oftentimes, these systems that are put in place prejudice a claimant from recovery from the pain they endure.

If injury or death results from a defective product, Texas law holds a 2-year limitations period to either resolve your claim or file suit for preservation of your claim.

From the date a product is first sold, the window to file suit regarding an injury that arises from the product is 15 years from the purchase. In other words, if you were injured from a product within 15 years of your purchase, you have until the 15thyear to preserve your claim.
