Question 1

How much does it cost to hire an Austin personal injury attorney?

Accepted Answer

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, typically 33-40 percent depending on whether the case settles or goes to trial. Free consultation, no obligation.

Question 2

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?

Accepted Answer

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Wrongful death claims also have a 2-year deadline. However, evidence disappears quickly, witnesses move away, and surveillance footage gets overwritten, so contact us within days of your accident for the strongest case.

Question 3

What is my Austin personal injury case worth?

Accepted Answer

Case value depends on medical bills, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, property damage, and the at-fault party's insurance limits. Our attorneys evaluate all of these factors plus comparative fault under Texas law. We have recovered settlements ranging from $25,000 to over $5 million depending on injury severity and liability clarity.

Question 4

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Accepted Answer

Texas follows the 51 percent modified comparative fault rule. As long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent at fault and have $100,000 in damages, you recover $80,000. We work hard to minimize your percentage of fault.

Question 5

Do I have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

Most Austin personal injury cases settle before trial, often within 6 to 18 months. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which puts pressure on insurance companies to make fair offers. If trial is necessary to get full compensation, we are experienced courtroom litigators ready to fight for you.

Question 6

How quickly should I call an injury attorney after my accident?

Accepted Answer

Call us within 24 to 48 hours of your accident. Evidence at crash scenes, witness memories, surveillance footage, and trucking company data have short preservation windows. Insurance adjusters from the other side will contact you within days, often trying to get a recorded statement to use against you. Our attorneys handle all communications so you can focus on healing.
