At Tawney, Acosta & Chaparro, we’re committed to protecting the rights of injured Texans and their families. Unfortunately, Texas House Bill 4806 (HB 4806) is a direct attack on justice, limiting the ability of victims to recover fair compensation and shifting the financial burden from negligent parties to those who have already suffered.
What Does HB 4806 Do
- ❌ Caps emotional loss damages at $1M for the wrongful death loss of a loved one
- ❌ Caps emotional loss damages $250K for personal injury, no matter how bad the injury
- ❌ Severely limits reimbursement of medical expenses
- ❌ Severely limits pain and suffering damages to 3x your medical bills (What your health insurance pays your doctor would now determine how much your pain and suffering is worth/)
- ❌ Makes it harder to hold negligent corporations accountable
This bill isn’t about stopping “frivolous lawsuits.” It’s about reducing corporate accountability and limiting justice for those who need it most.
How HB 4806 Affects Real People
Imagine losing a loved one in a semi-truck crash, only to find out that the law limits your compensation—leaving your family struggling to pay for medical bills, funeral expenses, and lost wages. Or, picture a worker permanently disabled in a commercial vehicle accident but unable to recover fair damages because the law ignores their lost earning potential.
HB 4806 puts victims last and corporations first.
