Common Questions
How much does it cost to hire an Austin personal injury attorney?v
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.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?v
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.
What is my Austin personal injury case worth?v
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.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?v
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.
