Blanco County Personal Injury Lawyer — The White Law Firm, P.C. (Texas)

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? Under most circumstances, Texas law requires filing a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of injury. Certain situations can extend or shorten that deadline, so it is important to consult promptly to preserve your rights.

Claim value depends on the severity of injuries, medical costs, lost income, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. The strength of liability evidence and any shared fault also affect value. We evaluate medical records, bills, wage loss documentation, and future care needs to provide a realistic estimate and advise whether settlement or litigation is more appropriate for maximizing recovery.

Many injury claims resolve through negotiation without a trial, resulting in a settlement agreement. However, if insurers refuse fair compensation, filing a lawsuit and proceeding to trial may be necessary to secure full damages. We prepare every case for litigation so that you have strong leverage in negotiations and a clear plan if court becomes required.

Your insurance may cover certain losses depending on your policy and the circumstances. In many motor vehicle cases, the at-fault party's insurer is responsible for compensating the injured party. We review insurance coverage and coordinate claims to pursue all available recovery sources while advising on claim strategies and potential policy limits.

Resolution timing varies based on case complexity, severity of injuries, the need for ongoing medical treatment, and willingness of insurers to negotiate. Some cases settle in months; others take longer when litigation is required. We provide ongoing updates and work to resolve matters as efficiently as possible while ensuring that any settlement adequately addresses both current and future needs.

The White Law Firm, P.C. typically handles personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning there are no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Initial consultations are free. Out-of-pocket costs for investigations or court filings may be advanced by the firm and reimbursed from any recovery; we explain fee arrangements clearly before proceeding.

Texas uses comparative fault principles that can reduce your recovery by your percentage of fault. Even if you share some responsibility, you may still recover damages if your portion of fault does not bar recovery under Texas law. We assess fault issues, gather evidence to minimize your assigned percentage, and advocate to maximize the net recovery available to you after any fault reduction.

You may change or add medical providers as part of your care. It is important to keep thorough records and ensure your new doctors understand your treatment history and ongoing needs. We can help coordinate medical documentation and work with providers to make sure treatments and records support your claim and expected courses of recovery.

Helpful evidence includes medical records and bills, photos of the scene and injuries, witness statements, police reports, and documentation of lost income. Medical expert reports and accident reconstruction may also be valuable for serious cases. We identify missing evidence, preserve available documentation, and consult with appropriate professionals to build a clear, persuasive case on liability and damages.
