What is a “loss of relationships” claim?

In Texas, a “loss of relationships” claim is a legal action an individual can take when a brain injury has resulted in a loss of their relationships with their family, friends, and/or significant other. This claim seeks compensation for the person’s inability to maintain the same relationships they had prior to the injury. This type of claim is based on the idea that when a brain injury affects a person’s ability to interact with their family, friends, and other people, they face a real economic loss. For a “loss of relationships” claim to be successful, the individual must demonstrate that their injury resulted in a quantifiable loss. This could include medical bills, expenses associated with travel for medical care, lost wages, and other costs related to the care and treatment of the injury. It can also include a documented loss of enjoyment of life, which may include a diminished social life or decreased ability to participate in activities and hobbies. In order to pursue this type of legal action, one must prove that their brain injury was caused by the negligence or reckless behavior of another person. It is important to note that the injured person must demonstrate that the injury resulted in an actual relationship loss, not just a temporary interruption or inconvenience. An experienced attorney can help the injured individual prove these facts and maximize their recovery.
