West Columbia Personal Injury Lawyer — The White Law Firm, P.C.

We offer a free initial discussion to review the facts of your case, explain applicable deadlines, and outline potential next steps. That meeting helps determine whether representation is appropriate and what to expect in pursuing a claim. If you decide to move forward, we will begin investigating, preserving evidence, and communicating with insurers on your behalf. Our goal is to present clear options so you can decide how to proceed.

Texas has time limits for filing different types of claims, and the statute of limitations often begins on the date of injury. Acting promptly ensures you do not lose the right to seek recovery under the law. Because deadlines vary, it is important to consult early so preservation of evidence and timely filings are handled correctly. We can advise you on the applicable timeframe for your situation.

Insurers may cover some medical expenses, but initial offers are not always sufficient to cover ongoing treatment or future needs. Thorough documentation of care and a clear valuation of damages are essential to pursue full compensation. We help gather medical records, cost projections, and other evidence to present a complete picture of your losses and seek a settlement that addresses both current and future needs.

Many claims resolve through negotiation without a trial, but some cases require litigation when insurers will not offer fair compensation. We prepare every case as if it may go to court to ensure strong advocacy if needed. If a settlement offer is appropriate, we will explain terms and recommend whether to accept. If not, we will proceed with filing and litigating the claim to protect your rights.

We handle most personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay attorney fees only if we recover compensation for you. This approach allows access to representation without upfront legal fees. During the initial consultation we will explain fee arrangements, any case costs, and how disbursements are handled so you have a clear understanding before moving forward.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule where the amount of recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and you may be barred from recovery if your share exceeds certain limits. Assessing fault accurately is important to determine potential recovery. We analyze evidence and contributory factors to present a fair allocation of responsibility and pursue the maximum recoverable compensation under Texas law.

Case timelines vary depending on the complexity of injuries, the need for medical treatment, and readiness of insurers to negotiate. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others take longer when litigation is required. We provide estimated timelines based on your circumstances and update you regularly as the case progresses so you have realistic expectations about the process.

Yes, compensation can include past lost wages and, where applicable, reduced earning capacity or future lost income due to lasting effects of the injury. Documenting employment records and medical opinions helps support those claims. We work with vocational and medical professionals when necessary to quantify current and future economic losses and present that evidence during negotiations or trial.

You should be cautious when speaking with insurance adjusters and avoid giving recorded statements without understanding the implications. Adjusters often seek information that can be used to reduce liability or the value of your claim. It is often best to direct adjusters to your legal representative so communications are managed in a way that protects your interests and the integrity of the claim.
