Question 1

How much does it cost to hire an auto accident lawyer in Austin?

Accepted Answer

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee - you pay $0 unless we win your case. Our fee comes out of the settlement, so you owe us nothing if there is no recovery. Call (512) 877-1389 for your free consultation.

Question 2

How long do I have to file an auto accident claim in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from the date of the accident. However, evidence disappears fast - surveillance footage, witness memory, vehicle damage. Call us within 7 days of the crash for the strongest case.

Question 3

What is my Austin auto accident case worth?

Accepted Answer

It depends on medical bills, lost wages, future care, pain & suffering, and the at-fault driver's insurance. Our cases have settled from $25,000 (minor injury) to $1.8M+ (catastrophic injury). Call (512) 877-1389 for a free case evaluation within 24 hours.

Question 4

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

Accepted Answer

No. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize what they pay you. Anything you say can be used to reduce your settlement. Refer them to your attorney. We handle all communication on your behalf.

Question 5

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Accepted Answer

Texas follows 'modified comparative negligence'. As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault. We fight to keep your fault percentage as low as legally accurate.

Question 6

Do I have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

About 95% of auto accident cases settle out of court. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which actually pressures insurance companies to settle for full value. If trial is needed, we are ready.

Question 7

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Accepted Answer

Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage steps in. Many Texas drivers do not realize they have this. We file the claim against your own carrier and fight if they undervalue it. You already paid premiums for this protection.

Question 8

How fast can my case settle?

Accepted Answer

Simple claims (minor injury, clear liability) can settle in 3-6 months. Serious injury and trucking cases take 12-24 months. We never rush - settling too fast almost always leaves money on the table. We settle when your case is at maximum value.
