Grimes County Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

Timing matters when pursuing a claim. In Texas, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury date, so it is important to consult with counsel promptly to protect your rights. Even if you are still receiving treatment, an early consultation helps ensure evidence is preserved and deadlines are met while you recover.

The White Law Firm typically handles personal injury cases on a contingency basis, meaning legal fees are taken as a percentage of any recovery. This allows clients to pursue claims without upfront attorney fees. We will explain the fee agreement during the initial consultation and answer any questions about costs, expenses, and payment timelines.

Recoverable damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for pain and suffering or emotional distress. The exact types and amounts of damages depend on the facts of your case, the severity of injuries, and supporting documentation such as medical records and wage statements.

It is important to provide basic information for the initial report, but avoid giving recorded statements or detailed accounts until you consult with counsel. Insurers may use statements to minimize or deny claims. Notify your own insurer promptly and preserve evidence, then seek legal guidance before agreeing to releases or final settlement offers.

Resolution time varies widely depending on case complexity, medical treatment duration, and whether the case settles or proceeds to trial. Simple claims may resolve in a few months, while complex matters can take a year or more. We provide realistic timelines based on your case facts and remain transparent about milestones and likely timeframes during the process.

Texas follows proportionate responsibility rules, which can reduce your recovery by your percentage of fault but does not necessarily bar recovery if you are less than 51% at fault. An evaluation of the evidence will help determine fault allocation and potential recovery under Texas law.

Yes, some injuries are not immediately apparent. A medical evaluation helps diagnose hidden injuries and creates a medical record linking treatment to the accident, which is important for any future claim. Prompt medical care also supports your health and provides documentation for damages like treatment costs and lost work time.

Many personal injury cases settle through negotiation, but some require trial when settlement offers are inadequate or liability is disputed. We prepare every case as if trial is possible to protect your interests. We will discuss the strengths and risks of trial versus settlement and recommend a strategy aligned with your goals.
