What “Non-Economic Damage” Means
Non-economic damages compensate losses without invoices: physical pain, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, and loss of companionship. In serious injury cases, they commonly exceed the economic damages — because what an injury does to a life outweighs what it does to a ledger.
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case
Because no receipt proves them, insurers’ software discounts them ruthlessly — which is why presentation is everything. McKay Law proves human damages with human evidence: the client’s credible story, family and friends who witnessed the change, day-in-the-life detail, and treating providers connecting it all to the injury. Texas caps these damages only in limited contexts (notably medical malpractice); in the ordinary injury case, they’re fully recoverable and worth fighting for at full weight.
