Hunt County Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

How soon you should act depends on the type of claim and the statute of limitations, but it is best to contact the firm promptly to preserve evidence and meet deadlines. Early investigation also helps identify witnesses and secure records. The firm can explain the time limits that apply to your specific case and advise on immediate steps to protect your claim.

Prioritize medical safety and call emergency services if needed. If it is safe, gather photos of the scene, exchange contact and insurance information with other parties, and collect witness names. Report the incident to law enforcement when appropriate and seek medical attention promptly to document injuries.

Fault is determined by evaluating evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and expert opinions to see whether a party failed to exercise reasonable care. Texas follows modified comparative fault rules, which can affect recovery if the injured person shares some responsibility for the accident.

Many cases resolve through settlement negotiations, but some matters require filing suit and proceeding to trial to obtain fair compensation. The decision to litigate depends on the strength of the case, settlement offers, and your goals. The firm will discuss possible outcomes and recommend an approach tailored to your claim.

Case value depends on factors like medical expenses, lost earnings, injury severity, and long-term care needs. Non-economic damages such as pain and suffering also affect value. The firm evaluates all these elements to provide a realistic estimate of potential recovery based on your circumstances.

The White Law Firm, P.C. typically discusses fee arrangements during the initial consultation and often handles personal injury cases on a contingency basis, meaning fees are collected from recovery rather than up front. We will explain any potential costs and payment terms before proceeding.

Timing varies with case complexity, severity of injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others requiring litigation may take longer. We provide timeline estimates after reviewing your case facts and keep you informed throughout the process.

Texas law allows recovery reduced by your percentage of fault, provided your share is not greater than the other party’s. The firm assesses comparative fault issues and pursues the maximum recoverable amount after accounting for any assigned percentage of responsibility.

Medical records, bills, photographs of injuries and the scene, police reports, witness statements, and employment records documenting lost wages are all vital. Preserving and organizing these materials strengthens your claim and supports accurate valuation of damages.
