Ransom Canyon Personal Injury Attorney in Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas? In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit in Texas. This deadline can vary in special circumstances, so seek advice promptly to preserve your rights. What if the insurance company offers a quick settlement? Early offers may seem convenient but can undervalue long-term needs. Discuss any settlement offer with a lawyer to ensure it covers current and future medical care and other damages before accepting.

Many personal injury claims resolve through settlement negotiations with the insurer, but some cases require filing a lawsuit and going to trial to obtain full compensation. We prepare every case for trial to maximize leverage in negotiations. When trial is necessary, we handle pretrial preparation, discovery, and courtroom presentation to advocate for a fair outcome on your behalf.

The White Law Firm, P.C. typically works on a contingency fee basis for personal injury claims, meaning you pay attorney fees only if we recover compensation for you. This allows access to representation without upfront payment. Other costs such as expert fees or filing expenses may be advanced by the firm and deducted from the recovery, with full accounting provided to clients during case resolution.

You may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, future care costs, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering. The exact categories depend on the facts of your case and applicable Texas law. Our team evaluates all potential damages and documents losses to present a comprehensive demand for fair compensation.

You can provide basic facts, but avoid recorded statements or signing releases without legal review. Insurers may use statements to limit their liability or undervalue claims. Consult with a lawyer before engaging in substantive conversations with an insurer to protect your rights and ensure accurate representation of your injuries.

Case duration varies widely based on injury severity, dispute complexity, and whether litigation is required. Some claims settle in months, while others take longer when going through discovery or trial. We provide realistic timeline estimates after reviewing case facts and update clients regularly as the matter progresses.

Yes. Texas applies modified comparative fault, which reduces recovery by your percentage of fault. If your share of fault is below applicable limits, you can still recover damages from others. We analyze fault issues and develop strategies to minimize your assigned percentage while maximizing recovery.

If the responsible party lacks insurance, you may pursue uninsured motorist benefits through your own policy or seek recovery from the at-fault party directly in civil court. We review insurance policies and alternative recovery options to pursue compensation through all available avenues.

Pain and suffering valuation considers injury severity, treatment required, impact on daily life, and long-term prognosis. We use medical records, expert input, and comparable settlements to support a fair figure.
