Colleyville Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

If you were injured in Colleyville, contact The White Law Firm, P.C. to discuss the incident as soon as possible. Early action helps preserve evidence and meets key filing deadlines. During your initial call we will ask about the accident, injuries, and any communications with insurers. We will outline your options and recommend next steps to protect your claim.

In Texas, the deadline for most personal injury lawsuits is generally two years from the date of the injury, but exceptions can apply depending on the circumstances. Missing this deadline can bar your claim, so prompt consultation is important. We can review your case details to determine the applicable deadlines and any exceptions that may extend or affect the time to file.

Many personal injury claims resolve through settlement with insurance companies, but some matters require litigation when disputes remain over liability or damages. We prepare each case with both negotiation and trial in mind. We will advise on the likely path based on the facts of your case and pursue the option that best protects your interests and recovery goals.

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and damages for pain and suffering. The specific award depends on the evidence of losses and liability. We work to document both economic and non-economic harms thoroughly to present a complete picture of your damages during negotiations or in court.

We typically handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means fees are collected only if we recover compensation for you. This structure helps injured clients pursue claims without upfront legal costs. During the initial consultation we explain fee arrangements, potential costs, and how recoveries are allocated so you understand what to expect financially.

You should provide basic information but avoid giving recorded statements or detailed accounts before consulting legal counsel, as early comments can be used to downvalue a claim. Let your attorney handle substantive communications when possible. We can communicate with insurers on your behalf to protect your claim and negotiate from a position that accurately reflects your damages and needs.

When available insurance is limited, other recovery options may exist, such as uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, third-party claims, or pursuing additional responsible parties. Each case requires a tailored evaluation of available avenues. We analyze all potential sources of compensation and advise on the most effective strategies to maximize recovery given policy limits and other constraints.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule that can reduce recovery based on your percentage of fault. If you are less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages reduced by your share of responsibility. Accurately documenting how the incident occurred and the extent of others' negligence is important to minimize any reduction in your recovery under this rule.

Case duration varies with the complexity of injuries, the need for ongoing medical treatment, and whether litigation becomes necessary. Some claims settle in months, while others may take a year or more to fully resolve. We keep clients informed about realistic timelines based on case developments and work to advance your claim efficiently while protecting your long-term interests.

Bring any medical records, bills, accident reports, photos, witness contact information, and insurer communications you have. This information helps us evaluate the strength of your claim and next steps quickly. If you do not have all documents yet, we will guide you on how to obtain them and begin preserving essential evidence right away.
