Hudson Personal Injury Lawyer — The White Law Firm, P.C.

What should I do immediately after an accident? Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if injuries seem minor. Prompt treatment documents your injuries and supports a later claim. Gather as much information as you can at the scene, including photos, witness names, and the other party’s insurance information. Contact a personal injury law firm to discuss next steps before giving formal statements to insurers.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can bar your right to bring a claim in court. Certain situations may alter the deadline, so consult promptly to ensure you meet all filing requirements and preserve your legal rights.

Many personal injury claims resolve through settlement negotiations with insurers when liability is clear and damages are documented. Settling can provide faster compensation and avoid court costs. If a fair settlement is not available, the case may proceed to litigation. We prepare each claim with trial readiness in mind to strengthen negotiating positions and protect your interests.

Damages typically include economic losses like medical bills and lost wages, plus non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. Documentation and medical opinions help establish the value of these losses. In cases of long-term impairment, calculations may include future medical care and lost earning capacity. Each claim requires careful evaluation of present and future impacts on the injured person’s life.

Many personal injury firms handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay attorney fees only if the firm recovers compensation on your behalf. Ask about fee arrangements during the initial consultation. There may be out-of-pocket expenses for experts, filing fees, or records; these costs are typically explained upfront and handled in a transparent manner throughout the case.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which reduces recovery by your percentage of fault and can bar recovery if your fault exceeds a legal threshold. An accurate assessment of fault is important to determine potential recovery. A careful review of the facts and evidence can help minimize assigned fault and preserve as much recovery as possible under state law.

Resolution times vary based on medical treatment duration, complexity of liability issues, and insurer response. Some claims settle within months, while others involving serious injuries or disputes can take longer. We will provide a realistic timeline based on your case specifics and keep you updated as the matter progresses toward settlement or trial.

Compensation can include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. In certain cases, punitive damages may be available when misconduct is particularly harmful under Texas law. A thorough claim presentation documents these losses to seek appropriate compensation from responsible parties and their insurers.
