Pantego Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Clients in Texas

Most personal injury claims in Texas must be filed within two years of the injury date. This deadline can vary depending on the type of claim and the parties involved, so it is important to check deadlines early. If you delay, you risk losing the right to pursue compensation. Contact the firm promptly to preserve evidence and evaluate whether any exceptions apply to extend the filing period.

The White Law Firm, P.C. typically handles personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means fees are collected only if we recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows access to representation without upfront hourly billing. We will explain any potential costs or liens, and provide a clear fee agreement before work begins so you understand how fees and expenses will be handled.

Seek medical attention as needed and call 911 if anyone is seriously injured. Obtain the accident report and exchange contact and insurance information with other parties involved. Document the scene with photos, gather witness contacts, and avoid giving recorded statements to insurers until you speak with an attorney who can advise you on preserving your claim.

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault principle that allows recovery as long as your percentage of fault does not bar recovery under state law. Any damages awarded are typically reduced by your share of fault. An attorney can help assess fault allocation, gather evidence to minimize your share of responsibility, and present arguments to support your claim for compensation.

Case timelines vary. Some claims settle within months when liability is clear and medical treatment is complete. More complex cases or those requiring litigation can take longer depending on medical recovery and court schedules. We provide estimated timelines after reviewing your case and keep you informed about factors that may speed up or delay resolution.

You can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning potential, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. In limited circumstances, punitive damages may also be available. Documentation such as medical bills, employer statements, and expert opinions supports claims for economic and non-economic damages and helps establish the value of your case.

Many personal injury claims resolve through settlement, but some require filing a lawsuit and proceeding to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare every case as if it may go to trial to protect your position. We discuss the likelihood of trial, the benefits and risks, and your preferences before making strategic decisions about litigation or settlement offers.

We maintain regular communication through phone calls, email updates, and meetings as needed. You will receive case updates at key milestones and can contact the team with questions about documentation or next steps. Clear communication is a priority so clients understand progress, settlement negotiations, and any required participation in the process.

Early offers are sometimes fair but often are lower than the full value of your claim. Consult an attorney before accepting any settlement to ensure it covers current and expected future medical expenses and other losses. A legal review helps identify hidden costs and negotiate for a settlement that properly accounts for long-term care or ongoing treatment needs.
