Why Do Injured Permian Basin Families Choose Braker White?
Braker White is a West Texas law firm that represents injured people across Odessa, Midland, and the Permian Basin, and we prepare every personal injury case for trial from day one.
When someone else’s negligence leaves you hurt, the insurance company starts working against your personal injury claim right away. You need attorneys who know the local courts and who treat your case like it is headed to a courtroom.
Robert White and Greta Braker are local trial lawyers who have spent their careers fighting for injured West Texans. That trial-first approach changes how insurance companies respond, because adjusters know when a firm is ready to try a case and when a firm is looking to settle fast.

Our Results Speak For Themselves
Areas of Practice
What Happens When the Insurance Company Is Not on Your Side?
Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. Their job is to close your claim for as little money as possible, and they have training and resources built around that goal.
You may be recovering from a serious injury, missing weeks of work, and facing an offer that barely covers your medical treatment. That low offer may reflect the insurer’s approach to resolving claims.
How Does Braker White Fight for Injured People Across the Permian Basin?
Braker White prepares every case as though it may proceed to trial. That level of preparation can influence how insurance companies evaluate a claim, strengthen settlement negotiations, and help position the case for litigation if needed.
- We investigate the accident, gather records, and build your case carefully so important evidence is identified and preserved
- We handle communication with insurance adjusters so you do not have to deal with the claims process alone
- We negotiate firmly and prepare for trial when a fair offer is not on the table
- We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no upfront attorney’s fee
- We have recovered millions for clients across the Permian Basin in car accident, truck accident, oilfield injury, and wrongful death cases. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
In many Texas personal injury cases, you have two years from the date the claim accrues to file a personal injury lawsuit under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.
Exceptions may apply depending on the facts of the case, the injured person’s age, the type of claim, the defendant, and when the injury was discovered.
Speaking with an attorney early gives your legal team more time to investigate, preserve evidence, and build a strong case.
FAQs About Personal Injury Cases in West Texas
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.

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.
