Pflugerville Personal Injury Lawyer — Serving Texas Clients

In Texas most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. Exceptions can apply in limited circumstances, so it is important to consult promptly to avoid losing your right to sue. Even if you are unsure whether you have a viable claim, preserving evidence, seeking medical care, and contacting a law firm early will help protect your options and ensure important deadlines are met.

Many personal injury lawyers, including those at The White Law Firm, P.C., handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning fees are paid from the recovery rather than upfront. This arrangement helps clients pursue claims without immediate out-of-pocket legal fees. Clients are typically responsible for certain case expenses, which may be advanced by the firm and deducted from the recovery if the case is successful. Fee structures and expense policies will be explained during your initial consultation.

We handle motor vehicle collisions, motorcycle and truck accidents, slip-and-fall and premises liability incidents, dog bite injuries, workplace injuries, defective product claims, and wrongful death matters. Cases range from minor injuries to serious, life-altering harm. Each case is evaluated on its own facts to determine liability, damages, and the best strategy for pursuing compensation, whether through negotiation or litigation when necessary.

You should provide basic information to law enforcement and seek necessary medical care, but be cautious when speaking with insurers. Early statements can be used to minimize or deny claims, so it is wise to consult an attorney before giving recorded statements or signing releases. If an insurer contacts you, direct them to your legal representative or limit your comments to essential facts while you arrange legal guidance to protect your interests.

Case timelines vary widely. Minor claims with clear liability can resolve in weeks or months, while cases involving serious injuries, complex liability issues, or prolonged medical treatment can take a year or longer to reach resolution. The timeline depends on the pace of medical treatment, the willingness of insurers to negotiate fairly, and whether litigation becomes necessary to obtain appropriate compensation.

Many personal injury cases settle through negotiation before trial, but some matters require litigation to achieve a fair outcome. We prepare every case as though it may go to trial, which strengthens negotiating positions and ensures readiness if court is necessary. Decisions about settlement or trial are made in consultation with the client after careful evaluation of the case facts, potential outcomes, and the client’s goals.

Potential recoverable damages include payment for past and future medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life. In wrongful death cases, families may also recover funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, and damages for the family’s loss of companionship under Texas law.

Yes. Prompt medical attention documents injuries and creates a medical record that links treatment to the incident, which is essential evidence for a claim. Some injuries may not present symptoms immediately, so a professional evaluation is important. Follow-up care and adherence to medical recommendations also strengthen your case by showing the extent and continuity of treatment related to the injury.

Investigation typically includes gathering police and incident reports, witness statements, photographs of the scene, medical records, employment records for lost wages, and any available surveillance or vehicle data. When needed, we consult with medical and accident reconstruction professionals. A careful investigation identifies responsible parties, documents damages, and assembles the evidence necessary to present a persuasive claim to insurers or a jury.
