How do I know if I have a personal injury case in Texas?
You may have a personal injury case if you were hurt because another person, company, driver, property owner, or other party acted carelessly or failed to follow the law.
Common examples include car accidents, truck crashes, oilfield injuries, workplace accidents, dangerous property conditions, and wrongful death claims.
Braker White offers free case reviews for injured people and families in Odessa, Midland, and across the Permian Basin.
How much does it cost to hire Braker White?
Braker White handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no upfront attorney's fee, and the firm only collects attorney's fees if compensation is recovered for you.
Any case costs, fee terms, and client responsibilities will be explained before you sign a fee agreement.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
In many Texas personal injury cases, the deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date the claim accrues. Exceptions may apply depending on the facts of the case, the type of injury, the defendant, and when the injury was discovered.
Because missing a deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident.
What compensation can I recover in a Texas personal injury case?
Depending on the case, injured people in Texas may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, physical impairment, disfigurement, and other losses.
In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may be able to pursue damages related to lost financial support, loss of companionship, mental anguish, funeral expenses, and other losses allowed by Texas law.
What makes Braker White different from other personal injury firms?
Braker White is a West Texas trial law firm serving injured people in Odessa, Midland, and the Permian Basin. The firm prepares cases with the expectation that they may need to be proven in court, not simply processed for a quick settlement.
Both lead attorneys are board-certified in personal injury trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and the firm brings decades of combined courtroom experience to personal injury cases.
