Royse City Personal Injury Lawyer — The White Law Firm, P.C.

Case timelines vary depending on the extent of medical treatment, the complexity of liability, and whether the matter settles. Many straightforward claims resolve within months, while serious injuries or contested liability can take longer. We work to move your claim forward as promptly as possible while ensuring all injuries are documented. If litigation becomes necessary, the process will take additional time but is pursued to protect your right to full compensation.

We handle most personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you generally pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This arrangement lets injured people pursue claims without upfront legal costs. There may be some case-related expenses advanced by the firm, such as obtaining records or expert reports, which are typically reimbursed from any recovery. We explain fees and costs during your free case review.

You may recover economic damages like past and future medical expenses and lost wages, plus non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In certain cases involving egregious conduct, additional damages may be available under Texas law. The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, the evidence, and legal factors like comparative fault. We evaluate your losses and pursue the full range of recoverable damages.

It is important to be cautious when insurers call. Provide basic contact and insurance information, but avoid detailed recorded statements or accepting early offers before your injuries and treatment are fully known. If you have questions, call us first. We can communicate with insurance companies on your behalf and help ensure statements or releases do not jeopardize your claim.

You should contact an attorney as soon as reasonably possible to protect evidence, meet deadlines, and begin necessary investigations. Early involvement can be particularly important in complex cases or when witnesses may be difficult to locate. Delays can risk lost evidence or missed filing deadlines under Texas law. A prompt review helps preserve your options and ensures medical documentation aligns with legal strategy.

Texas follows comparative fault rules, which may reduce recovery by your percentage of responsibility. You can still recover damages even if you share some fault, but the final award will be adjusted to account for comparative responsibility. We work to limit your assigned fault through investigation and evidence, and we advocate for a fair evaluation of liability during settlement or at trial.

Bring any medical records you have, accident or police reports, photographs of the scene or injuries, insurance information, and documentation of wage loss. If you have correspondence from an insurer, bring that as well. If you don’t have all documents, we can obtain records and request necessary reports once you retain the firm. The initial consultation helps us determine next steps and preserve critical evidence.

Many cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it may proceed to court. This preparation ensures your claim is fully documented and strengthens negotiating positions with insurers. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we will discuss the benefits and risks of filing suit and proceed based on your goals and the facts of the case.

In most Texas personal injury claims, you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the injury. Missing the deadline can bar your right to recover, so timely action is essential. Certain situations may have different deadlines, so contact us promptly to confirm the applicable time limit for your specific matter.
