Jasper County Personal Injury Attorney — The White Law Firm, P.C.

Most personal injury claims in Texas must be filed within two years from the date of injury, though certain factors can extend or shorten that deadline. It is important to act promptly because early investigation preserves evidence and helps avoid missed deadlines that could bar your claim.

Many personal injury firms, including The White Law Firm, P.C., handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation on your behalf. You may still be responsible for out-of-pocket expenses related to your case, but these are typically discussed up front and often deducted from the recovery after fees are applied.

Most personal injury claims resolve through negotiated settlements with insurance companies, but some cases require filing a lawsuit and preparing for trial when settlement efforts fail. We prepare every case as if it will go to court, which strengthens bargaining position during negotiations and ensures readiness if litigation becomes necessary.

You can seek economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In certain situations involving egregious conduct, punitive damages may be available, subject to Texas law and court approval.

Proving liability typically involves obtaining police reports, witness statements, photographs, traffic citations when applicable, and any available video or reconstruction evidence. Medical records that link injuries to the accident and documentation of damages also play a central role in establishing causation and value.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which reduces your recovery proportionally to your percentage of fault and can bar recovery if you are more than 50% responsible. Even with some fault, you may be entitled to compensation if your share of responsibility is 50% or less, so it is important to evaluate the details carefully.

Case duration varies based on the complexity of injuries, the need for ongoing medical treatment, and the willingness of insurers to negotiate; simple claims may resolve in months, while complex cases can take a year or more. We aim to resolve claims efficiently while protecting your long-term interests and will keep you informed about timelines and options at each stage.

Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos if safe to do so, collect contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to the appropriate authorities or property owners. Avoid discussing fault with insurers without first consulting with legal counsel and preserve records of treatment and expenses related to the injury.

A local attorney familiar with Texas law and county procedures can be helpful for handling filings, understanding local court practices, and coordinating with local providers and investigators.
