Iowa Park Personal Injury Attorney Serving Wichita County, Texas

What should I do immediately after an injury? Seek medical attention as soon as possible to address injuries and create a medical record linking treatment to the incident. Gather contact information for any witnesses, take photos of the scene and injuries, and report the incident to the appropriate authorities or property owner. Contact our office when you are able so we can advise on preserving evidence and next steps. How does the claims process work? We begin with a case evaluation and investigation, then submit demand to insurers with documented damages. Most cases resolve through negotiation, but if insurers do not offer fair compensation, we are prepared to file suit and pursue the claim through litigation.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Certain circumstances can change deadlines, so prompt consultation is important to protect your rights. If the claim involves a government entity, shorter notice requirements may apply. Contact our office for a timely evaluation to ensure all applicable deadlines are met and your claim is preserved.

Many personal injury cases settle before trial, but some matters require litigation to achieve fair compensation. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which often strengthens negotiation leverage and improves settlement outcomes. If a trial becomes necessary, we guide you through each step of the process, explain courtroom procedures, and represent your interests vigorously before a judge or jury.

Compensation typically includes economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In cases of severe injury or death, damages may also include future care costs and loss of earning capacity. We analyze medical records, employment history, and expert opinions where appropriate to create a comprehensive valuation that reflects both present and future impacts of the injury.

Texas applies a modified comparative fault rule that reduces recovery by the plaintiff’s percentage of fault. If a plaintiff is more than 50% responsible for the harm, recovery may be barred. Assessing fault accurately is an important part of building a claim. We investigate all available evidence to minimize your assigned fault and maximize recoverable damages under Texas law.

The White Law Firm, P.C. handles most personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay attorney fees unless we secure a recovery on your behalf. This arrangement allows access to representation without upfront legal fees. You may still be responsible for certain case expenses, which we explain in advance. We provide transparent fee agreements and regular updates about case costs and progress.

You can negotiate directly, but insurers often attempt to minimize payouts and may use early statements or incomplete documentation against you. Professional representation levels the playing field and ensures demands reflect the full extent of your damages. If you prefer to speak with insurers directly, we can still review offers and advise whether a settlement is fair or if continued negotiation or filing suit is advisable.

Case timelines vary depending on injury severity, medical recovery, evidence complexity, and insurer cooperation. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others requiring litigation can take a year or longer. We provide realistic timelines based on the facts of your case and keep you informed as the matter progresses so you can make informed decisions about settlement and treatment.

Key evidence includes medical records, treatment bills, accident reports, witness statements, photographs of injuries and the scene, and any video footage. Documentation of lost wages and impact on daily life also supports damages claims. Preserving physical evidence and obtaining timely statements from witnesses can be critical. We assist in gathering and organizing this information to present a clear and compelling claim.
