Eagle Pass Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Maverick County, Texas

Most personal injury claims in Texas must be filed within two years of the injury date, but there are exceptions depending on parties involved and the nature of the claim. Prompt consultation helps ensure critical deadlines are met. Even when a deadline is looming, we can evaluate whether tolling or other rules apply. It’s important to act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your legal options.

Case value depends on the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic harms such as pain and suffering. We assess current and future costs to develop a realistic damages estimate. Liability, insurance limits, and comparative fault also affect recovery. A careful review of records and circumstances is necessary to provide a reliable estimate for your specific claim.

Many personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement without trial. We pursue settlement when it meets your needs and fully compensates losses. If insurers refuse fair offers or liability is contested, filing a lawsuit and preparing for trial may be necessary to seek appropriate compensation. We prepare each case to achieve the best possible outcome, whether by settlement or in court.

If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you may have options through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We review your policy and coordinate with insurers to pursue recovery. Other avenues may include claims against third parties or pursuing the at-fault individual directly if they have assets. We explore all realistic options to seek compensation for your losses.

The timeline depends on the complexity of the injuries, the need for ongoing medical treatment, and whether liability is disputed. Some cases resolve in months; others may take longer when litigation is required. We aim to move efficiently while ensuring medical issues are fully documented and settlement offers account for future needs. Regular updates help you understand where your case stands.

Many personal injury firms work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are taken from any recovery rather than upfront payments. We discuss fee arrangements and costs during your initial consultation. There may be case-related expenses for investigations or expert reports handled by the firm and reimbursed from recovery. We explain any anticipated costs before moving forward.

Seek medical attention immediately, report the incident to authorities if required, and gather basic evidence such as photos and contact details of witnesses. Your health and safety come first. Keep records of treatment and expenses, avoid giving recorded statements to insurers without advice, and contact The White Law Firm, P.C. to discuss next steps and preserve important evidence.

Yes. Texas applies comparative fault, which reduces recovery by your percentage of fault. If your share of responsibility is less than the recovering party’s limit, you may still recover damages. A careful case analysis determines how fault is likely to be allocated and what impact that may have on your potential recovery.

Pain and suffering are proven through medical records, physician statements, testimony about daily limitations, and documentation of how injuries affect quality of life. Objective medical evidence strengthens these claims. We compile comprehensive records and, when appropriate, work with medical professionals to quantify non-economic harms for settlement or trial presentation.
