Lakeway Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

In Texas, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date of injury, but exceptions can apply depending on the circumstances. Missing the deadline can bar your claim, so timely action is important. If you are unsure how the statute applies to your situation, contact a lawyer promptly to preserve evidence and evaluate whether an exception or tolling provision applies to extend the filing period.

Case value depends on medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, the severity of injuries, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. Each case is unique and requires careful documentation to estimate losses. We review medical records, bills, wage loss, and other factors to provide a realistic evaluation and advise whether settlement or litigation is likely to achieve the best result for your circumstances.

Many personal injury claims resolve through settlement without a trial, but some disputes require filing a lawsuit and proceeding to court to obtain fair compensation. We prepare every case as if it may go to trial to strengthen negotiation position. If your case proceeds to court, we guide you through each step of litigation, attend hearings, and advocate on your behalf while seeking the most efficient path to resolution.

Insurance companies may pay some medical bills during settlement negotiations, but coverage limits and disputes over fault can affect payment. Keep records of all medical treatment and bills to support your claim. We engage with insurers on your behalf, present medical documentation, and push for payments or settlements that account for both current and anticipated medical needs.

Resolution timing varies with the complexity of injuries, the need for ongoing treatment, and whether liability is disputed. Some claims settle in a few months; others take longer if litigation becomes necessary. We provide an estimated timeline after reviewing your medical care and claim details and work to move your case forward efficiently while protecting your right to full compensation.

You can attempt to handle a claim yourself for minor matters, but insurers often rely on claim handling practices that favor their interests. Professional representation helps ensure evidence is preserved and claims are valued accurately. If you choose to proceed independently, document everything carefully and consider consulting with a lawyer before accepting any settlement offers to confirm the amount fully addresses your needs.

Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, report the incident to the proper authorities or property manager, and gather contact and insurance information from other parties and witnesses. Preserve physical evidence and take photos when safe to do so. Notify your insurer and keep detailed records of medical visits, expenses, and missed work. Contact a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and begin preserving evidence that supports your claim.

Pain and suffering are non-economic damages that account for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life. Calculation methods vary and often consider the severity of injuries, duration of recovery, and impact on daily activities. Documentation from medical providers and personal accounts of how the injury affected daily life help substantiate non-economic losses during negotiation or at trial.

Many personal injury firms, including The White Law Firm, P.C., handle cases on a contingency basis, meaning fees are taken as a percentage of recovery rather than paid upfront. This approach lets clients pursue claims without immediate legal fees. Discuss fee arrangements during your initial consultation so you understand how costs, expenses, and any recovered amounts will be handled throughout the case.

Begin by collecting available documentation, seeking medical treatment, and contacting The White Law Firm, P.C. for a case review. We will evaluate the facts, advise on next steps, and help preserve evidence critical to your claim.
