Buchanan Dam Personal Injury Lawyer — Texas Representation

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas? Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, though exceptions can apply based on circumstances. If your claim involves a government entity, shorter notice deadlines or special procedures may apply. Contact the firm promptly so time-sensitive steps are taken to protect your rights.

A fair settlement should provide for past and future medical expenses related to the accident. Before accepting any offer, ensure your medical care needs have been evaluated and included in the damage calculation. We review settlement offers to confirm they adequately address medical costs, lost income, and other losses so you are not left with unpaid expenses after resolving the claim.

If the other party lacks sufficient insurance, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide compensation, depending on your policy. We can help review insurance available to you and pursue every viable recovery source. When insurance is insufficient, other avenues such as pursuing responsible third parties or personal assets may be considered. We assess the best strategy for your situation.

Resolution timelines vary widely. Some claims settle within months, while cases with complex injuries or disputed liability can take a year or longer to conclude, especially if litigation becomes necessary. We provide realistic timelines after reviewing the facts of your case and keep you informed at each stage so you know what to expect during the process.

The White Law Firm, P.C. evaluates many personal injury cases without upfront attorney fees and commonly works on a contingency arrangement where fees are collected from any recovery. You are responsible for medical care and other expenses as they arise, but we discuss how those matters are handled and what to expect regarding costs during the initial review.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can seek recovery if you are less than 51% responsible for the accident, but your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We evaluate fault apportionment and develop strategies to minimize assigned responsibility while maximizing recoverable damages.

Available compensation typically includes payment for past and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and damages for pain and suffering. Each case is unique, and we carefully document economic and non-economic losses to support a comprehensive demand for compensation.

Many cases settle before trial, but some require litigation to obtain fair compensation. We prepare every case as though it may go to trial to ensure strong advocacy during negotiations. We discuss the risks and benefits of settlement versus trial and pursue the option that best serves your interests and recovery goals.

Claim value is based on documented medical expenses, lost income, future treatment needs, diminished earning capacity, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. We analyze medical records, vocational impacts, and other evidence to estimate a fair recovery and support that figure during negotiations or in court.
