What sort of damages can I expect to recover from a car accident?
After a car crash, you may be entitled to financial compensation. This can fall into two main categories: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages include expenses such as medical bills and lost wages—costs that are easy to quantify. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, refer to losses without a specific monetary value, such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life.
Rarely, if the case involves particularly reckless or willful behavior, courts may also award punitive damages. These damages are not intended to reimburse you for specific losses, but to punish the defendant and discourage similar conduct.

Causes of car accidents in Conroe, TX
Cars are powerful machinery, but they are also extremely dangerous. We often forget they carry nearly two tons of heavy metal and run on high-powered engines fueled by copious amounts of gasoline. It is no wonder that motor vehicle accidents are still the number one cause of death in the United States.
Some of the most widely reported common causes of motor vehicle accidents include:
Speeding
Speeding is the number one cause of traffic fatalities in Texas and across the United States. It accounts for almost 30% — one in three — of all road deaths. In a speeding vehicle, the driver has less time to react if something goes wrong. Faster speeds are also more likely to cause more serious injuries because collisions generate greater impact force.
Reckless driving
This includes behaviors such as weaving in and out of traffic, running red lights, tailgating, failing to yield right-of-way, and speeding.
Distracted driving
Whether it’s talking on a cell phone or texting, any behavior that diverts our attention away from the wheel can spell danger. Even seemingly innocuous activities like eating, drinking, or attending to passengers can lead to tragedy.
Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
Alcohol and/or drug-related crashes are among the most devastating because these are completely preventable. Unfortunately, drunk driving still accounts for more than 10,000 road fatalities every single year in the United States.
Fatigued drivers
Driving while fatigued is just as dangerous as driving drunk. Long hours or lack of sleep can impair a driver’s reaction time and judgment, greatly increasing the likelihood of a collision.
Poor road conditions
Poor roadway design and maintenance can lead to accidents. Even simple oversights like poor signage can lead to a crash. If the government agency responsible for the roads was negligent in its duties, then it may be held liable for any resulting injuries or property damage.
Adverse weather
Rain, snow, high winds, and other inclement weather can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
Vehicle malfunction
Even the best-maintained car can experience an unexpected and potentially dangerous malfunction. This could be anything from a flat tire to a faulty brake system.
Common auto accident injuries
Auto accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor scrapes to disabling and life-threatening conditions. Even if you don’t feel hurt right after a crash, you should still be checked out by a doctor, as some injuries don’t show up until hours or days later.
Here are some common auto accident injuries:
Road rash
Road rash is the general term for skin abrasions caused by harsh contact with the pavement or other objects on the road. This can be a serious injury if the abrasion is deep and open, as it is vulnerable to infection.
Cuts and lacerations
Cuts and lacerations can occur from any loose objects, broken glass, or debris. These injuries can range from minor scrapes to deep gashes, with the latter often requiring stitches.
Whiplash and other neck injuries
Whiplash occurs when sudden whipping motions stretch the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your neck. Whiplash can occur even at modest speeds of 20 mph, and is relatively common in rear-end collisions — more than 2 million Americans experience it every year.
Broken bones and fractures
Vehicle collisions can result in broken bones and fractures, especially to the arms, legs, feet, wrists, and hands. The risks are greater in side- and front-impact collisions. Victims often suffer from severe pain and limited mobility, making daily life difficult.
Concussions and head injuries
Head injuries can range from mild bumps and bruises to more serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The latter can cause long-term brain damage and impair memory, movement, and speech. Even a seemingly small bump on the head may have hidden consequences — all the more reason to seek medical care immediately after an accident.
Back and spinal cord injuries
These can range from small strains and sprains to herniated discs and fractures. Spinal cord injuries are potentially the most severe outcome following an auto accident and can result in paralysis or other long-term mobility issues.
Burns
Skin contact with hot fluids, surfaces, steam, or chemicals (common when a car catches fire) can cause severe burns. Victims may need to undergo multiple surgeries and a lengthy rehabilitation period. They may also walk away permanently scarred, both physically and psychologically.
Internal injuries
Internal injuries are not visible from the outside. They include damage to bone structures such as the sternum and lungs, as well as organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys.
If you have been injured in a Conroe car accident, the skilled attorneys at Simmons and Fletcher, P.C., are here to help. Our legal team has experience litigating auto accident cases involving any type of injury. We will review the facts and evidence of your case and work with investigators to establish fault and causation. We can also work with medical experts and financial advisors to assess the extent of your injuries—both present and future—to determine all losses for which you may seek recovery. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, you pay our attorney’s fee and expenses only if we secure a verdict or settlement.
Winning your auto accident claim
If you have been injured in an accident caused by another driver’s negligence, you may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. But to win your claim, you need to establish liability. This means that you must prove that another person or entity was legally responsible for the car accident that caused your injuries.
Here are three things your lawyer will need to establish:
- The other party had an obligation to act with reasonable care.
- The other party has failed to fulfill that duty of care (negligence), which resulted in the car accident.
- Any injuries or property damage sustained are directly connected to the breach of duty.

Do I have to go to court to get a fair settlement?
Not likely. Most personal injury cases are worked out without going to court. In fact, less than 5% of these cases ever reach a courtroom. Most law firms, us included, will aim to settle pre-trial through negotiation with the other party’s insurance provider. However, sometimes getting sued over a car accident in Texas is the only thing that wakes the insurance company up to the fact that you are serious about your case. We are prepared to file a lawsuit when necessary.
We understand the burdens of court proceedings — the costs, stress, and inconvenience they bring. That is why our Conroe auto accident lawyers work hard to settle disputes outside of court, quickly and equitably. But when negotiation isn’t an option, we won’t hesitate to litigate for you. We have tackled powerful opponents in the past; let us fight for you.
