Anton Personal Injury Attorney in Texas

Start by seeking medical attention and preserving evidence such as photos, witness contact information, and medical records. Then contact a law firm to discuss your options and determine whether to pursue a claim. A legal review helps identify liable parties, assess damages, and determine the best approach. Acting promptly preserves evidence and meets filing deadlines under Texas law.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline generally prevents you from filing a lawsuit to seek compensation. Certain circumstances can extend or shorten the deadline, so it’s important to seek legal guidance early to understand any exceptions that may apply to your case.

Many personal injury claims resolve through negotiation and settlement without a trial. However, when liability or the value of damages is disputed, preparing for litigation may be necessary to achieve a fair outcome. We prepare each case as if it will go to trial so that negotiation positions are strengthened and clients are ready to proceed if a satisfactory settlement is not reached.

Case value depends on the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, and the degree of fault. Non-economic damages such as pain and suffering also affect the total recovery. An attorney can review your medical records and financial losses to provide an informed estimate based on comparable cases and the specific facts of your claim.

The White Law Firm, P.C. handles most personal injury matters on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we secure a recovery on your behalf. There may be case costs advanced on your behalf, which are typically reimbursed from the recovery. We will explain all fee arrangements during your initial consultation.

Insurers often provide early offers that may not fully account for future medical needs or long-term impacts. Do not accept a settlement without evaluating the full extent of damages and consulting legal counsel. A thoughtful review ensures the proposed settlement covers both present and foreseeable future costs related to your injury before you give up the right to pursue additional compensation.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule that reduces recovery by your percentage of fault. You can recover damages as long as your share of fault is less than 51%. Determining fault percentages can be complex; legal representation helps obtain evidence that supports a favorable allocation of responsibility.

Case duration varies widely depending on injury severity, insurance cooperation, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others take a year or more. We provide timelines based on the specifics of your case and keep you informed about progress and anticipated milestones throughout the process.
