Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay no fee unless and until we win your case. Consultations are completely free, and there's no obligation to hire us after we review your case.

Question 2

What should I do right after a car accident in Austin?

Accepted Answer

Call 911 if anyone is injured. Take photos of all vehicles, the scene, and any visible injuries. Get the other driver's insurance and license info. Get contact info from any witnesses. See a doctor even if you feel fine — adrenaline masks injuries. Then call us at (512) 877-1389 before talking to any insurance company.

Question 3

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 16.003, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year limit from the date of death. Waiting risks losing your right to compensation entirely.

Question 4

Are you really available 24/7?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We answer the phone day, night, weekends, and holidays. Most crashes happen outside of business hours. Call us right from the crash scene at (512) 877-1389 — we'll walk you through exactly what to do.

Question 5

What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?

Accepted Answer

About 1 in 7 Texas drivers is uninsured. Your own auto policy likely has Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage — this steps in when the at-fault driver can't pay. We're experienced in UM/UIM claims and routinely fight your own insurer when they try to lowball you.

Question 6

How much is my Austin car accident case worth?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the severity of injuries, medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Texas allows recovery for both economic damages (medical, lost income, property) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life). Drunk-driver cases can also include punitive damages. We give you an honest estimate after reviewing the facts — call (512) 877-1389 for a free case evaluation.

Question 7

Will my case go to trial?

Accepted Answer

Most car accident cases (over 95%) settle without trial. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, however, because that's what produces the best settlement offers. If the insurance company refuses to pay fair value, we are fully prepared to take them to court in Travis County District Court.

Question 8

Do you handle Uber and Lyft accidents differently?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rideshare crashes are more complex because multiple insurance policies may apply depending on the trip phase — driver waiting, driver matched, or passenger in vehicle. Uber and Lyft each carry $1M liability policies that activate during active trips. We know exactly how to identify and access the right policy.
