Presidio Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

You should contact an attorney as soon as possible after a serious injury to preserve evidence and protect your claims. Early review helps identify deadlines and necessary steps. During the initial consultation we will review your medical records, outline potential defendants, and advise on short-term actions to protect your rights.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can bar your right to sue. There are exceptions that may extend or shorten the deadline depending on the facts, so it is important to consult early to confirm timing for your specific case.

Insurers may pay some medical bills during claim negotiations, but payment is often contingent on settlement terms. Do not assume coverage will be handled without documentation. Keep detailed records of all medical treatment and expenses and discuss with your legal representative how best to address outstanding bills during resolution discussions.

When fault is disputed, investigation focuses on evidence such as crash reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and expert analysis to establish liability. A well-documented case increases the chances of resolving disputes through negotiation or presenting convincing evidence in court if litigation is necessary.

Case value depends on the severity of injuries, medical costs, lost income, impact on daily life, and degree of fault. Each case is unique and requires a careful review of damages. A legal review will provide an estimated range based on similar outcomes, documented losses, and applicable Texas law to help set realistic expectations.

Many cases resolve through negotiation without a trial, but some matters require filing suit and proceeding through litigation if insurers refuse reasonable settlement offers. We prepare every case as if it may go to court to strengthen negotiating positions and ensure you are ready if trial becomes necessary.

Personal injury representation is typically provided on a contingency basis, meaning fees are contingent on recovery. This aligns interests and allows clients to pursue claims without upfront legal fees. Specific fee arrangements and costs will be explained during the initial consultation so you understand how fees and expenses are handled if a recovery is obtained.

Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule, which can reduce recovery in proportion to your percentage of fault. If you are less than 51% responsible, you may still recover damages. Allocating fault is fact-specific, so careful investigation and presentation of evidence are important to minimize your assigned percentage of responsibility.

Seek medical care immediately, report the crash to law enforcement if required, and collect photos, witness names, and insurance information at the scene when safe to do so. Preserve records of medical treatment and contact The White Law Firm to review your claim, document evidence, and advise on handling insurer communications.

Case duration varies widely based on injury severity, complexity of liability, and insurer willingness to negotiate. Some claims resolve in months, while others take a year or more. We will provide an estimated timeline after reviewing your case and keep you informed of progress and key milestones throughout the process.
