Can I file a claim if my injury occurred in another state?

Yes, you can file a claim for a catastrophic injury that occurred in another state under Texas law. Catastrophic injury law in Texas is governed by the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Under this code, an individual may bring a damages claim for personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage if they or an immediate family member suffered a catastrophic injury in another state. However, it is important to note that filing a claim in another state is complicated. Many states have different laws and procedures regarding an injury claim. It is important to contact a personal injury attorney in the state in which the injury occurred to determine what procedures must be followed. Additionally, the attorney will need to be licensed to practice law in the state in which the injury occurred. It is also important to note that the damages awarded for a catastrophic injury in another state could be different than the damages awarded in Texas, depending on the laws of the state in which the injury occurred. In summary, a catastrophic injury suffered in another state can be recovered under Texas law. However, the individual must contact a personal injury attorney in the other state to determine what procedures must be followed and to ensure the maximum possible compensation is received for the injury.
