Cibolo Personal Injury Attorney — Texas Representation

Commonly asked questions include how long a case takes and what expenses may be recovered. Case duration varies with medical treatment and whether the insurer negotiates in good faith. Simple claims may resolve in a few months, while complex matters can take longer. You can recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering when liability is established. Future care costs and diminished earning capacity may also be part of a claim and should be documented early.

You should reach out as soon as possible after seeking necessary medical care. Early contact helps preserve evidence, obtain witness statements, and identify insurance issues that could affect recovery. Prompt review also ensures that deadlines, including the Texas statute of limitations, are met and that your claim is managed effectively from the outset.

Compensation varies by case but commonly includes payment for past and future medical costs, lost income, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Each case is evaluated on its own facts and documentation. An accurate valuation depends on medical records, evidence of lost earnings, and expert input for complex injuries. Our team works to build a record that reflects both present and anticipated losses.

Many personal injury cases settle through negotiation with insurers, but some matters require filing suit and proceeding to court when fair offers are not made. The decision to go to trial depends on case value, liability issues, and settlement negotiations. If litigation becomes necessary, we prepare the case for court and represent clients in Guadalupe County or appropriate Texas venues to seek a just outcome.

Medical bills are part of the damages that may be recovered. Insurers often request detailed records and bills to evaluate claims, and coordination of benefits may be needed when health insurance or liens are involved. We work to document medical needs and negotiate with providers and insurers so settlements address past and future treatment costs where appropriate.

If the at-fault driver has limited coverage, other options may include claims under your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, or pursuing recovery from other liable parties depending on the accident circumstances. We review available policies and potential avenues for recovery to identify the best approach to pursue compensation for your losses.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which reduces a claimant’s recovery by their percentage of fault and can bar recovery if the claimant is more than 50% responsible. Partial fault does not necessarily prevent a claim. An early investigation can help establish the degree of fault for each party and preserve evidence that supports a fair allocation of responsibility.

The White Law Firm, P.C. typically handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal costs are collected from any recovery rather than upfront fees. This structure allows access to representation without immediate payment. We discuss fee arrangements during the initial consultation and provide clear information about costs, potential expenses, and how fees are calculated if there is a recovery.

Bring any accident reports, medical records or bills you have, insurance information, photos of the scene or injuries, and contact information for witnesses when available. This helps speed evaluation of your claim. If you cannot gather all documents before the meeting, provide what you have and we will outline additional records to collect and the next steps for preserving evidence.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, you must file a lawsuit within two years of the injury date. Exceptions can alter that deadline, so early legal review is important to avoid losing the right to sue. Certain claims against government entities have shorter notice requirements, and other unique circumstances may change the timeline. Contact us promptly to protect your rights.
