History of White Settlement

White Settlement was established in 1840 in the early days of the Texas Republic. After land was granted to settlers under the “Homestead law,” settlers built near the Trinity River. In September 1843, a treaty was signed by the representatives of the Republic of Texas and the Indian tribes to open more doors to claim the “Grand Prairie” that is now Tarrant County and Parker County.

In the 1860s as pioneers moved westward, a one-room log cabin was built to use as a school. The school stood where the runway for Carswell Air Force Base is now located.

White Settlement, Texas Today

Located Northwest of Fort Worth, Tarrant County. The population of White Settlement today stands at approximately 17,396. Lying west of the Trinity River, it forms a significant suburb of Fort Worth.

Today White Settlement prides itself in offering the community many parks to enjoy, including a water park, “Splash Dayz.”

Most Common Personal Injury Cases in Texas

The Annual Statistical Report For The Texas Judiciary FY 2019 exposed interesting facts. The past decade has seen a 79% increase in car accident cases resulting in injury or damage.

Automobile Accidents remain the most common cause of personal injury resulting in claims. The most common causes of automobile accidents are predictable, driving under the influence of alcohol, and distracted driving and speed.

Texas drivers are subject to the “modified comparative negligence” system. The proportion of fault awarded to a driver is deducted from the compensation awarded. If the driver is 50% or more at-fault they will not receive compensation from the other parties involved.

Other common personal injuries caused in Texas include:

  • Bicycle accidents

Most bicycle injuries are inflicted by motor vehicles, followed by faulty roadways, accidental falls or crashes, and occasionally, dog interference.

  • Pedestrian Accident

To often pedestrian accidents can and should be avoided by motorists. However, accidents do occur, and are common.

  • Slip and fall accidents

It is an all too common accident responsible for most of the spinal injuries in Texas.

Critical Steps to Take Following an Accident

After the traumatic experience of a motor vehicle accident, there will be confusion. You will find it difficult to think straight. Adrenaline is pumping. You will be in shock. You may have sustained an injury.

We want to ensure you have a few basic steps to remember after a car crash.

Step 1:

Remain at the scene of the accident and ensure anyone involved is out of harm’s way.

Stay calm. Be courteous. Do NOT admit fault. If anyone requires medical aid call 911.

Step 2:

Alert the Police.

Regardless of the severity of the crash, the reporting of the event is crucial for your legal defense.

Step 3:

Record as much detail as you can.

Gather the names of everyone involved including drivers, passengers,  etc, and witnesses. Note their contact details, license, vehicle registration numbers, and insurance particulars.

Write down the time, take photos of the crash scene including location, surrounding, debris, property damages, and personal damages.

Step 4:

Contact a personal injury lawyer

The aftermath of an accident is time for you to focus on your wellbeing. You might be recovering from mild or even more serious injuries. The best thing you can do after the accident is to contact a lawyer to represent your case.

Recovering Damages from a Texas Accident

It all starts with determining an evaluation process of the injury and its impact on your life. A personal injury case could have three categories of damages to claim: Special, General, and Exemplary damages.

Special damages are the cost of the injury. Special damages may include the medical costs of your treatment, hospital fees, any fees incurred with an ambulance, and the repair or replacement of your property.

General damages are broader and difficult to measure. Emotional scars, damaged reputation, or loss of income, and pain you are yet to suffer.

Exemplary damages are also known as punitive damages. Deliberate, malicious, or extremely negligent acts occurring in an accident.

Proving the significance of damage to your case is a huge task. Achieving fair compensation starts with engaging a knowledgeable attorney.
