Little River‑Academy Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? In most personal injury cases in Texas, you must file a lawsuit within two years from the date of the injury. Certain exceptions can extend or shorten that deadline depending on the circumstances. It is important to seek advice promptly so that deadlines are preserved and critical evidence is not lost.

Get medical attention for any injuries and keep copies of all medical records and bills. Document the scene with photos, exchange contact information with others involved, and collect witness names when possible. Notify your insurer but avoid detailed recorded statements until you have had a chance to review your options.

Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlement without a trial, but some matters require litigation when settlement offers do not fairly compensate for damages. We evaluate each case and prepare for trial when necessary to protect your interests and pursue full recovery.

Damages are calculated based on medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and non‑economic losses such as pain and reduced quality of life. Future medical needs and long‑term impacts are also considered when appropriate. Accurate documentation and professional assessments help establish the full value of losses.

Texas follows comparative fault rules that may reduce recovery by your percentage of responsibility. Even if you bear some fault, you may still recover damages so long as your percentage does not bar recovery under applicable law. We evaluate liability carefully to protect your recovery as much as possible.

Resolution times vary depending on injury severity, medical treatment timelines, and complexity of liability. Some claims settle within months, while others take longer when future care or litigation is involved. We provide realistic timelines after reviewing the specifics of your case.

Many personal injury firms, including The White Law Firm, P.C., handle cases on a contingency basis where fees are collected from recoveries rather than upfront. We discuss fee structures during the initial consultation and explain any costs that may arise during representation.

You may attempt to handle a claim yourself, but insurers often have significant resources and experience. Professional representation helps ensure deadlines are met, evidence is preserved, and negotiations consider long‑term consequences. We provide assistance scaled to each client’s needs.

Medical records, photographs of the scene and injuries, witness statements, police reports, and documentation of lost wages are among the most important evidence. Early preservation of these items strengthens a claim and helps establish causation and damages.
