Parker Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Collin County, Texas

How quickly should I see a doctor after an injury? Seek medical attention as soon as possible after an injury. Prompt treatment documents your injuries, supports a future claim, and helps ensure you receive appropriate care. Even if symptoms seem mild at first, some injuries worsen over time. Early records, test results, and treatment notes create important evidence when pursuing compensation.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Missing that deadline can bar your ability to file a lawsuit to pursue damages. Certain circumstances can change the deadline, so it is important to consult promptly to preserve your legal options and begin necessary investigations.

You may seek compensation for economic losses such as past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages for pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life are also commonly pursued. Calculating damages requires medical evidence, proof of lost income, and analysis of how the injury affects daily functioning. Our firm can help document and present those losses effectively.

Many personal injury cases resolve through negotiation and settlement without a trial, but some matters require litigation to achieve fair compensation. We prepare every case for the possibility of court to preserve leverage in negotiations. If a trial is necessary, we will explain the process, prepare witnesses, and advocate for your recovery in front of a judge or jury.

The White Law Firm, P.C. typically handles personal injury matters on a contingency basis, meaning legal fees are collected as a percentage of recovery. This structure allows clients to pursue claims without upfront attorney fees. We will discuss fee arrangements and any case costs during the initial consultation so you understand how representation works and what to expect financially.

Prioritize safety and medical care. If possible, document the scene with photos, exchange contact and insurance information with other parties, and obtain witness names. Report the incident to police and get a copy of any official report. Avoid making detailed admissions of fault and limit recorded statements to insurers until you have had a chance to consult. Preserving evidence and documenting injuries early strengthens future claims.

Texas applies a modified comparative fault rule that can reduce your recovery by your share of responsibility. If your percentage of fault exceeds certain limits, it may affect or bar recovery depending on case specifics. A careful analysis of the facts and evidence can help minimize assigned fault and maximize potential recovery. We review accident factors and applicable law to protect client interests.

Case timelines vary based on injury severity, treatment duration, insurance cooperation, and whether litigation is necessary. Some claims settle in a few months, while others with complex injuries or disputes may take longer. We provide realistic timeline estimates after reviewing the case and keep clients updated as the matter progresses through investigation, negotiation, and potential litigation.

Local knowledge of Collin County courts and regional insurers can be helpful, but what matters most is effective case handling and communication.
