Blanco County Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

If you have questions about whether you have a viable claim, start with a free case review where we assess liability, injuries, and potential damages. Early evaluation helps preserve evidence and determine the best path forward. After the review we can advise on immediate steps such as seeking medical care, documenting the scene, and avoiding statements to insurers that could limit recovery.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury. There are limited exceptions that can extend or shorten that period depending on the circumstances. Because deadlines are strict, consult an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is preserved and to avoid losing the right to seek compensation.

Many personal injury claims are resolved through settlement negotiations with insurers without a trial. Settlement can be faster and less costly, but it must fairly compensate your losses. If the insurance company refuses a reasonable settlement or liability is disputed, the case may proceed to court, where we will be prepared to advocate on your behalf.

Damages include economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages, as well as non‑economic losses like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases of permanent impairment or future medical needs, projections of future costs are also included. Each case is evaluated individually and damages are calculated based on medical records, expert opinions, wage documentation, and the impact of injuries on daily life and earning capacity.

Early settlement offers are often lower than the full value of a claim and may not account for future medical needs or long‑term effects. Accepting a quick offer can bar you from seeking additional compensation later. Before accepting any payment, have your case reviewed to determine whether the offer fairly reflects your total damages and future needs.

At The White Law Firm, P.C., personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This structure allows clients to obtain representation without upfront legal costs. You may still be responsible for certain case expenses, but these are typically discussed and handled transparently as the case progresses.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which reduces recovery by your percentage of fault. If you are found more than 50% responsible, recovery may be barred. However, if your fault is less than or equal to 50%, you may still recover a portion of damages. An attorney can help analyze evidence to minimize your attributed fault and pursue the maximum allowable recovery under the circumstances.

Important evidence includes accident reports, photographs of the scene and injuries, medical records, bills, wage statements, witness statements, and any video or other recordings. Documentation that shows the extent of injuries and treatment needs is critical to proving damages. Preserving this evidence promptly—before it is lost or altered—strengthens your claim and supports higher recovery amounts.

Case duration varies widely based on medical recovery time, insurance responsiveness, and whether the matter settles or goes to trial. Some claims resolve in a few months, while complex or litigated cases may take a year or more. We aim to resolve cases efficiently while protecting your interests and ensuring any settlement fully accounts for present and future losses.
