Common Causes of Personal Injuries in Whitesboro, TX
Personal injuries can happen unexpectedly, often due to the negligence of others. We conduct a thorough investigation to identify liable parties and build a strong case on your behalf. Common causes include:
- Distracted behavior, such as texting or inattention by drivers or property owners.
- Unsafe premises, including wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting.
- Reckless or negligent actions, like speeding or ignoring safety rules.
- Defective products, from faulty machinery to dangerous consumer goods.
- Drunk or impaired conduct, violating Texas laws, and endangering others.
- Inadequate maintenance leads to hazards on roads or properties.
Steps to Take After a Personal Injury
Your reaction to an injury is important and can affect your health as well as your claim’s outcome. Taking these steps will help protect your health and save your options:
- Seek Medical Care: Get immediate treatment, even for minor injuries, to address health needs and document your condition.
- Collect Evidence: Take pictures of the injuries, dangers, and the scene. If you can, get the contact information of any witnesses.
- Report the Incident: Notify police, property owners, or relevant authorities to create an official record.
- Avoid Early Settlements: Don’t sign with insurers or admit fault without consulting a lawyer.
- Call Us: Contact David K. Wilson & Associates at (903) 870-9050 for a free evaluation and expert guidance.
Time is critical. Texas imposes a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, with some exceptions. Acting promptly preserves your right to compensation.
Compensation for Personal Injury Victims
Injuries can result in medical bills, lost income, and emotional distress. At David K. Wilson & Associates, we pursue maximum recovery, including:
- Medical Expenses: Including hospital trips, procedures, rehabilitation, and continuing medical care.
- Lost Wages: Earnings missed due to injury or reduced work capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical discomfort and emotional trauma.
- Property Damage: Reimbursement for damaged belongings, if applicable.
- Punitive Damages: Additional awards in cases of extreme negligence to deter future misconduct.
Our team negotiates with insurers and, if necessary, litigates in court to ensure a fair outcome.
Navigating Texas Personal Injury Laws
Personal injury cases in Texas involve complex rules, such as modified comparative negligence, where your compensation may be reduced if you’re partially at fault (but only if you're less than 51% responsible). Insurance companies often push low offers or shift blame. We counter this by analyzing evidence, consulting experts, and advocating fiercely on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
In Texas, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could forfeit your right to seek compensation, though there are exceptions. Unsure if your case applies? Call us today.
Who can be held liable in my personal injury case?
In a personal injury case, the party that can be held liable depends on the circumstances of the accident. This could include individuals, companies, property owners, or even government entities if their negligence or wrongful actions caused your injury.
How do I prove negligence in a personal injury case?
To prove negligence, you must show that the responsible party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused your injuries. Our team can assist in this by gathering evidence, such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements, to build a strong case.
What if the injury occurred at work?
If your injury happened at work, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party (other than your employer) caused your injury, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers' comp. Unsure about your case Call our team today.
