Delta County Personal Injury Attorney in Texas

Costs typically depend on the arrangement you make with the law firm. The White Law Firm, P.C. generally handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means attorney fees are taken only if recovery is obtained. You may still be responsible for certain case costs or medical bills as they arise, but contingency arrangements help avoid large up-front legal fees. Discuss fee structure and any potential costs during your initial consultation.

Most personal injury lawsuits in Texas must be filed within two years from the date of the injury. That deadline is known as the statute of limitations and generally applies to common negligence claims. Certain circumstances can change the deadline, so it is important to seek advice promptly to protect your right to pursue a claim and to meet any notice requirements imposed by insurers or other parties.

Many personal injury claims resolve through negotiations and settlement with insurance companies without a trial. Settlement can provide timely compensation while avoiding the time and expense of court proceedings. If insurers will not offer a fair resolution, filing suit and preparing for trial may be necessary. If that occurs, your attorney will explain the process and keep you informed so you can make appropriate decisions.

Recoverable compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. The exact categories depend on the facts of the case. Documenting medical treatment, financial losses, and the effects on daily life supports your claim for appropriate compensation. We can help gather evidence to substantiate these damages.

The timeline varies with case complexity, severity of injuries, and the willingness of insurers to settle. Some claims resolve within months, while others with ongoing treatment or litigation needs can take longer. We advise clients on expected timelines after the initial review and provide updates as the case progresses so you understand when decisions will be needed.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault system, which reduces recoverable damages by your percentage of fault. If you are less than 51% responsible, you may recover compensation reduced by your share of fault. Accurate investigation and evidence gathering help establish fault percentages. We work to present a complete picture of the incident to minimize allocations of responsibility against you.

Medical bills are typically the responsibility of the injured person until a settlement or judgment is obtained. Some providers may bill your health insurance or offer payment plans while your claim is pending. In certain cases, advances or liens can be arranged to help manage medical expenses during the claim. We can discuss practical options and coordinate with medical providers when appropriate.

Claim value depends on medical expenses, lost income, the severity and permanence of injuries, and the effect on daily life. Economic and non-economic damages are assessed based on records, expert opinions, and comparable settlements. We evaluate case facts, consult professionals when needed, and present a demand that reflects the full scope of current and anticipated losses.

Seek prompt medical attention, follow medical advice, and preserve evidence such as photos, police reports, and witness contact information. Timely documentation helps protect your claim. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers without legal advice and contact a lawyer to discuss next steps, deadlines, and how to protect your rights.
