Frisco Personal Injury Attorney Serving Collin County, Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Texas is two years from the date of the injury, though certain exceptions can alter that timeframe. Because deadlines can vary based on the facts, it is important to consult promptly to preserve your rights and avoid losing the ability to pursue compensation.

Seek medical attention, report the incident to the appropriate authorities, and document the scene with photos if possible. Keep records of medical treatment and avoid detailed discussions with insurance adjusters until you have spoken with a legal representative. Collect contact information for witnesses and exchange necessary information with other parties, then contact The White Law Firm, P.C. at (713) 780-1633 to discuss next steps and protect your claim.

Many personal injury cases resolve through settlement, but some matters require filing a lawsuit and preparing for trial when fair offers are not provided. We prepare each case with trial readiness in mind to strengthen negotiation and ensure you have options if litigation is necessary. Decisions about trial are made in consultation with you after evaluating the strengths of the claim and potential outcomes, keeping your goals and best interests central to the strategy.

Damages typically include economic losses like past and future medical expenses and lost wages, as well as non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. The specific calculation depends on the severity of injury, prognosis, and documented financial impact. We analyze medical bills, employment records, and expert opinions when necessary to develop a reasoned damage estimate that supports full compensation for your losses.

The White Law Firm, P.C. offers an initial case review and typically handles personal injury matters on a contingency basis, meaning fees are collected from any recovery rather than upfront. This approach allows injured individuals to pursue claims without immediate financial pressure. You will be informed about fee arrangements and any case costs during the initial consultation so you understand how charges are handled before proceeding.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule that can reduce recovery proportionally to your share of fault, but does not necessarily bar recovery unless your fault exceeds a set threshold. Partial responsibility does not automatically preclude compensation; each case requires careful analysis of the facts. We assess how comparative fault may apply in your situation and pursue the maximum recoverable amount after apportioning responsibility according to Texas law.

Case length varies based on injury severity, liability complexity, and the willingness of insurers to offer fair settlements. Some matters resolve in a few months, while others involving serious injuries or litigation can take a year or more. We provide realistic timelines after evaluating your case and maintain ongoing communication to keep you informed about developments and expected milestones.

Medical records, photographs of the scene and injuries, witness statements, and official reports are among the most persuasive forms of evidence. Documentation of lost income and treatment expenses is also essential to establish damages. Prompt preservation of evidence and thorough investigation by legal counsel improve the strength of a claim and the likelihood of achieving a fair resolution.

Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In limited cases involving egregious conduct, additional damages may be available under Texas law. Your case will be evaluated to determine the full scope of recoverable losses, including future medical needs and other long-term impacts that should be reflected in any settlement or verdict.
