In Texas, medical malpractice claims have specific limits on non-economic damages, but no caps on economic damages. Non-economic damages, such as compensation for pain, suffering, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment of life, are capped at $250,000 per healthcare provider, with a maximum of $750,000 total if multiple providers are involved. Economic damages, including medical costs, rehabilitation, and lost income, are not limited. Understanding these caps is essential for evaluating what can be recovered in a malpractice case, particularly when injuries are long-term or permanent.
