How Braker White Stands Out as a Permian Basin Personal Injury Law Firm

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.

Robert White has practiced personal injury law in West Texas since 1983, and Greta Braker joined his practice after graduating magna cum laude from Texas Tech University School of Law.

Braker White prepares cases for the possibility of trial rather than treating personal injury settlement as the only path. If you need a personal injury lawyer in Odessa, Midland, or elsewhere in West Texas, Braker White is on your side.

Contact us for a free case review if you are not sure whether you have a case. The first call is free, confidential, and comes with no obligation.

Together, they bring more than 60 years of combined courtroom experience to every case they handle.

  • Both attorneys are board certified in personal injury trial law, a credential held by a small percentage of all licensed Texas lawyers
  • Robert White serves on the board of directors for the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates
  • Greta Braker is licensed in both Texas and New Mexico, giving the firm reach across state lines for clients who need it
  • The firm prepares every case for trial from day one, which puts real pressure on insurance companies to offer fair compensation
  • Braker White maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau

Before you call the adjuster back

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.

What you may be facing

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 Braker White responds

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.

How Does Braker White Fight for Injured People Across the Permian Basin?

On your own

You vs. the insurance company

Who is working for you

With Braker White: Board-certified trial lawyers who represent you, not the insurer

On your own: Adjusters who work for the insurance company, not for you

The goal

With Braker White: Every case is prepared as though it may proceed to trial

On your own: Close your claim for as little money as possible

Evidence

With Braker White: We investigate the accident, gather records, and build your case carefully so important evidence is identified and preserved

On your own: You gather records yourself while recovering, and evidence can be lost

The adjuster's calls

With Braker White: We handle communication with insurance adjusters so you do not have to deal with the claims process alone

On your own: You answer the adjuster's questions on your own

The offer

With Braker White: We negotiate firmly and prepare for trial when a fair offer is not on the table

On your own: An offer that may barely cover your medical treatment

Cost to you

With Braker White: We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no upfront attorney’s fee

On your own: No lawyer fee, but no one pushing back on a low offer

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.

Texas gives you two years. Evidence doesn't last that long.

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.

Days 1–14Trucking companies can overwrite black-box and dash-cam data. Early preservation letters matter.
Weeks 2–6Witness memories fade and scenes get repaired.
Months 1–6Insurers may push early, low offers before you know the full cost of treatment.
Year 2The filing deadline in many Texas injury cases.

Questions we hear every day

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.

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.
