Cass County Personal Injury Attorney — Texas Representation

Most personal injury claims in Texas resolve through settlement negotiations with insurers. Settlements can provide compensation more quickly than litigation, but a lawsuit may be necessary when liability or damages are in dispute. Your attorney can evaluate settlement offers and advise whether a proposed resolution meets your needs or whether filing suit is the better route to pursue full compensation.

In most cases the statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas is two years from the date of the injury. Missing the deadline can bar your ability to sue. Certain circumstances can extend or shorten the deadline, so it is important to seek legal advice promptly to protect your claim.

You may recover economic damages like past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering when applicable. The exact recovery depends on the facts of your case, the severity of injuries, and applicable legal limits or offsets such as comparative fault.

Many cases settle before trial, but some matters proceed to litigation when fair offers are not made or liability is contested. Your attorney will prepare the case for trial while attempting to negotiate a favorable settlement. If your case goes to court, we will guide you through each step of the process, including discovery, depositions, and trial preparation.

For qualifying personal injury claims, The White Law Firm, P.C. operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront attorney fees and payment only if we recover money for you. There may be case-related expenses that the firm advances, which are typically recovered from any settlement or judgment as agreed in the retainer.

Pain and suffering valuation considers the severity of injury, the impact on daily life, treatment duration, and prognosis. There is no fixed formula, and evaluations rely on medical records and evidence of impairment. Your attorney will document non-economic losses and present a reasoned demand to insurers or a jury to reflect the full scope of your suffering.

Yes, Texas uses a comparative fault system that allows recovery reduced by your percentage of fault, provided you are not more than 50% responsible. If you are over that threshold, recovery may be barred. An attorney can assess fault issues, challenge unreasonable attributions of blame, and work to minimize your assigned percentage of responsibility.
