Midway South Personal Injury Attorney in Texas

After an accident, prioritize your health and document injuries with prompt medical care. Keep records of treatments, diagnoses, and expenses to support your claim. Contact our office to discuss timelines and evidence preservation. Acting early helps secure witness statements, property damage documentation, and official reports needed to build a strong case.

Generally, Texas requires most personal injury lawsuits to be filed within two years of the date of injury. Missing this deadline can bar recovery in many cases. Some situations create exceptions or different deadlines, so consult an attorney promptly to determine the applicable statute of limitations for your specific claim.

Many personal injury cases resolve through settlement without a trial, often after negotiations between the claimant’s representatives and the insurer. Settlements can offer a faster resolution and avoid the uncertainty of a court verdict. If insurers refuse fair compensation, we prepare cases for litigation and will take your claim to court when necessary to pursue the full amount of damages permitted under Texas law.

Case value depends on medical expenses, lost wages, injury severity, long-term consequences, and liability strength. Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life may also factor into damages. A detailed review of your medical records, economic losses, and evidence of fault is required to provide a reasonable estimate of potential recovery.

The White Law Firm, P.C. typically handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning fees are collected from any recovery rather than upfront payments. We will explain fee arrangements during your consultation. You are responsible for certain case costs advanced during litigation, but these are usually reimbursed from the settlement or judgment at case conclusion.

Provide basic contact and accident information, but avoid giving detailed statements or signing medical release forms without consulting counsel. Early recorded statements can be used to limit your recovery. Refer the insurer to our office and let us handle communications to protect your legal rights and ensure accurate presentation of your injuries and losses.

Yes. Texas applies a modified comparative fault rule that reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault, and you may still recover if your fault is less than the applicable threshold. The specifics depend on the facts of each case. Accurate assessment of fault and strong evidence can help minimize your assigned percentage and maximize your recovery under Texas law.

Resolution time varies with case complexity, severity of injuries, and insurer cooperation. Some claims settle within months, while others require years if litigation becomes necessary. We focus on efficient case development and will keep you informed of realistic timelines based on medical treatment progress and negotiation or litigation steps.

Many cases settle before trial, but court attendance may be required for depositions, hearings, or trial if litigation is necessary. We prepare clients for every stage of the process to reduce surprises. If a trial is required, we handle preparation, strategy, and representation so you can focus on recovery while we present your case effectively in court.
