Argyle Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

After an accident, prioritize your health and get medical care as soon as possible to document injuries and start recovery. Keep records of treatments, prescriptions, and any restrictions from work to support your claim. Contact a lawyer if you have questions about interacting with insurers, need help preserving evidence, or face disputes about fault. Early consultation helps protect your rights and ensures important deadlines are met.

Most personal injury lawyers, including those at The White Law Firm, P.C., work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay legal fees only if the firm recovers money for you. This arrangement reduces upfront financial barriers. Discuss fee structure and costs during your initial consultation so you understand any potential expenses and how fees will be calculated if there is a recovery.

Case length varies with complexity, the severity of injuries, and whether liability is disputed. Simple claims may resolve in a few months, while complex cases can take a year or more, especially if litigation is required. Prompt medical treatment and early investigation help move your claim forward. Your lawyer can provide a timeline based on the specifics of your case and what’s needed to prepare a claim.

If the responsible driver lacks adequate insurance, you may have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage through your own policy. A lawyer can review your coverage and help pursue available benefits. When coverage is insufficient, a claim against other parties or pursuing litigation may still be possible depending on the circumstances and available assets.

Yes. Medical records establish the nature, extent, and treatment of injuries and are essential to proving damages. Consistent treatment records strengthen the link between the incident and your injuries. Keep copies of reports, diagnostic tests, and bills, and follow recommended treatment to avoid gaps that insurers may use to challenge your claim.

You can handle a claim on your own for minor injuries and straightforward liability, but insurers often make early low offers. A lawyer can advise whether a case warrants professional representation and can help maximize recovery. If you choose to proceed without a lawyer, consider at least getting a consultation to understand potential pitfalls and the true value of your claim.

You can seek compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. A lawyer helps identify and document both economic and non-economic damages to present a comprehensive demand to insurers or the court.

Fault is determined by examining evidence like police reports, witness statements, photographs, surveillance, and physical evidence. Comparative fault rules may reduce recovery if you share responsibility. A lawyer investigates the scene, interviews witnesses, and analyzes evidence to build a case showing the other party’s responsibility or to minimize any shared fault.

Insurers may offer quick settlements before you fully understand the scope of your injuries. Review any offer carefully and consider consulting a lawyer before accepting to ensure it covers future medical needs and other losses. A lawyer can evaluate whether the offer is fair and negotiate for improved terms or advise proceeding to litigation if necessary.
