Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
You Deserve an Expert in Your Corner
You’re Not Sure What Your Injury Case is Worth
You Need Time to Focus On Getting Better
Insurance Companies Love to Blame the Victim
Insurance providers tend to be huge corporations with access to just about any resource that might be needed to fight an injury claim. This includes a highly skilled team of attorneys ready to defend the insurer. You’ll be fighting an uphill battle if you don’t ask for help. An experienced personal injury attorney can advocate for you.
At Attorney Brian White Personal Injury Lawyers, we have the resources needed to level the playing field. With our experienced team in your corner, you won’t have to worry about being outmatched.
The value of a personal injury case depends on a lot of different things: how serious injuries are; the amount of time an individual has to miss at work; the pain and suffering they endure.
Insurance companies – and anyone you’re up against – will try to minimize each of these things and drive down your claim’s value. Our lawyers will be ready for their efforts.
We’ll bring in experts to help us understand:
- Your accident
- Your resulting injuries
- The effect it will likely have on your life
The better we can understand a client’s case, the better prepared we can be to help them recover a financial award that reflects its true value. Contact us today for more information.
Texas personal injury disputes can be complicated, confusing, and downright overwhelming. There may be multiple parties involved. Things can get even more stressful when you try to pursue compensation on your own. And, you just won’t have the time you need to focus on putting your life back together.
Hiring a personal injury attorney can give you the time you need to really focus on what’s most important: you and your road to recovery.
Our skilled legal team will handle all aspects of the legal process from start to finish. We’ll be transparent at every stage and keep you in the loop. When it comes time to make the tough decisions – like whether to accept a settlement offer or go to trial – we’ll be right there beside you offering the guidance you need. Your main focus, however, can be on getting better and moving forward with your life.
Texas has modified comparative fault rules. An individual can share some – but not most – of the blame for an accident and still recover compensation. Your damages will be directly linked to your proportionate responsibility (share of the blame).
Insurance companies and other parties will try to push as much of the blame onto your shoulders as possible. The more fault you’re assigned, the less money other parties will have to pay. If they can say that you’re mostly to blame, they can escape liability altogether.
Our Houston car accident lawyers are familiar with these tactics and know how to protect our clients and their financial awards. We’ll work hard to defend you against claims that you share fault. How? By gathering evidence, discrediting statements, and showing that the facts are on your side.
If you are partly responsible, we can work to limit how much fault is ultimately assigned to you. The less fault you share, the higher your financial award can be. Make sure you get the justice you deserve.

“If I could give this firm 10 stars and 3 thumbs up I would!!! I strongly recommend a consult with them. My back and neck were injured as a result of being rear ended. The other person‘s insurance company offered me practically nothing to cover medical bills. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Brian and his team for handling it all. Brian, Angie and Maggie were super responsive, kept in touch, returned calls quickly, and saw to it that I got the best settlement possible.”
Melody D. (former client)
“Excellent personal injury law firm. When someone crashed into my car in Houston, my first accident ever, it was very frightening and painful. I called my dad and he said, “if you have any pain, get a lawyer”. Best advice I could have gotten as the recovery on my body took way longer than my car. Met with Priscilla Jackson and she handled EVERYTHING!”
Andrea D. (former client)
“What an awesome group of people. I left another attorneys office and came to Mr. White’s. From the beginning he was very attentive and actually treated me like a person and not a dollar sign. I hope I never have to use him again, but in the unlikely event that I do, I will know that my best interests are taken into account and I will be treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. Thank you Mr. Brian White and Team!”

Personal Injury FAQs
How Much Is My Houston Personal Injury Case Worth?
How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer Near Me?
How Long Do I Have To File a Texas Personal Injury Claim?
What is Negligence?
How Do You Prove Negligence?
Will My Personal Injury Case Go To Trial?
Every personal injury case is different. As a general rule, the more severe an injury, the more a related personal injury case is worth.
But, the value will ultimately depend on answers to questions like these:
- How seriously were you injured?
- Did you contribute to the accident or cause your injuries in any way?
- What are your current (and projected future) out of pocket costs?
- Will your injuries affect your ability to go back to work, now or in the future?
- What kind of emotional toll or trauma have you experienced because of your accident?
Insurance companies will try to drive down the value of your claim – don’t let them. Hire a Houston injury attorney who will stand up for you, work with experts to help them assess what your injury case is worth, and fight to get you compensation. You may have a claim for economic damages, such as medical expenses and loss of income, non-economic damages, property damages, and more.
Texas personal injury lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis. So, the law firm assumes all of the financial risk associated with litigating your claim. The lawyer only gets paid if they win your case.
That means there are zero upfront costs to hire a personal injury lawyer. If you win your case – meaning you get a settlement or win at trial – your lawyer takes a (pre-agreed upon) percentage of your financial award (less any costs of litigation, like filing fees, court costs, and expert fees).
What percentage will the lawyer take? It’s typically around 33%, but can be lower or higher. Ultimately, it depends on the firm, what type of case you have, and how challenging your particular case might be.
Texas has a short two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits. For most cases, victims will have up to two years from the date of their accident to file a civil lawsuit and demand compensation. Miss the deadline and your rights disappear.
Protect yourself by contacting an attorney promptly after getting hurt. Your lawyer can identify the time limits that apply to your case and work to ensure that procedural rules don’t stand between you and the money you deserve.
Most personal injury cases in Texas are based on negligence. Negligence means that one person (the plaintiff) got hurt because another person (the defendant) had a responsibility to act with care, but didn’t.
There are four elements of negligence that must be established in order for the plaintiff to win:
- Duty: The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care
- Breach: The defendant failed to act reasonably under the circumstances
- Causation: The defendant’s conduct was the reason the plaintiff got hurt
- Damages: The plaintiff suffered some kind of identifiable harm (e.g., physical, financial)
Each element is as important as the next. Each must be proven in order for the plaintiff – injury victim – to win and recover compensation.
The concept seems simple enough – someone else was careless and you got hurt. But, negligence is harder to prove than you might think – especially when the defendant (or their insurance provider) fights you at every turn.
That’s where an experienced injury lawyer can help, by investigating your case and gathering supportive evidence.
Evidence that can be useful is establishing the four elements of negligence include:
- Photographs of the scene of the accident
- Witness statements
- Accident reports
- Testimony from expert witnesses
- Medical records
- Financial statements, and more.
Your lawyer will use this evidence to establish the defendant owed you a duty of care, prove that they didn’t act reasonably under the circumstances, and that you suffered injuries as a result.
Most don’t – a whopping 95% of personal injury lawsuits settle before the trial state. However, that doesn’t mean that your case won’t end up before a judge and jury.
And, you want to make sure that you have an attorney with litigation experience representing you, even if you don’t make it all the way to trial.
Why? When you’re represented by an experienced trial lawyer, insurance companies and defendants will know that you mean business. They’ll know that your Houston injury attorney will have prepared for this case as if it will go to trial – and won’t be afraid to reject low offers and take the case to trial. The other party won’t want to go to trial and might offer more in settlement negotiations to prevent that from happening.
