How We Handle Wrongful Death Attorney Cases
The Texas Wrongful Death Act allows recovery for loss of companionship, financial support, and funeral expenses, but each category has to be documented and calculated separately to hold up under scrutiny. Our attorneys prepare detailed economic and non-economic loss reports before presenting a claim on behalf of surviving family members.
What We Do For You
- Aggressive negotiation with insurance adjusters for maximum settlement value.
- Full investigation: police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, expert reconstruction.
- Medical record review with our in-house experts to document every injury and future cost.
- Trial-ready preparation that pressures insurers into fair pre-trial settlements.
- Bilingual representation: English & Spanish (hablamos espanol).

Client Story
“My husband was killed by a drunk driver leaving 6th Street. The attorneys treated our family with dignity, and I was struck by how methodically they documented the Dram Shop claim against the bar — receipts, staff statements, everything laid out to support what they were owed.”

Common Questions
What does an Austin personal injury attorney actually charge?v
Nothing upfront, under a contingency fee structure: no attorney fees are owed unless we recover on your case, and our fee is a documented percentage of the settlement or verdict, typically 33-40 percent depending on whether the case resolves pretrial or goes to trial. That fee agreement is put in writing before we start any case work.
What is the statute of limitations for a Texas injury claim?v
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code sets a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims, running from the date of the incident. That said, the strength of a case is rarely about the deadline itself — it is about how much documentary evidence still exists. Crash reports, medical records, and surveillance video are far easier to obtain and verify in the weeks after an accident than the months after.
How is the value of an Austin injury case actually calculated?v
We build a documented damages model covering medical bills, lost wages, projected future treatment, property damage, and pain and suffering, then weigh that against the at-fault party's insurance limits and any comparative-fault deductions under Texas law. Our attorneys have documented settlements ranging from $25,000 to over $5 million, with the spread driven almost entirely by injury severity and how clearly liability is established on paper.
How does comparative fault affect my recovery under Texas law?v
Texas applies a 51 percent modified comparative fault rule: you recover as long as you are found 50 percent or less at fault, with your award reduced proportionally. A claimant found 20 percent at fault on $100,000 in documented damages recovers $80,000. We build the evidentiary record specifically to keep your assigned fault percentage as low as the facts support.
