Austin Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Austin County, Texas

Many personal injury cases settle before a lawsuit is filed, but settlement depends on the facts, injuries, and insurer response. We work to present fair valuation early while preserving the option to litigate if needed. If you are unsure whether to accept an offer, we can review it and advise on whether it covers medical costs, lost income, and long-term needs. Our goal is to ensure you understand the pros and cons of any proposed resolution.

In most Texas personal injury cases the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. Missing this deadline can bar your ability to file a lawsuit and recover compensation. Exceptions may apply in certain situations, such as claims against government entities or cases involving delayed discovery of injury. Contact us promptly to preserve your rights and evaluate deadlines.

Many cases resolve through settlement negotiations without a trial, but some matters require litigation to achieve fair compensation. We prepare each case as if it may go to court to strengthen settlement positions. If a trial becomes necessary, we explain the process, represent you at hearings, and advocate for your interests thoughtfully and professionally.

Possible recoveries include past and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and compensation for pain and suffering. The specific damages depend on the facts and evidence in your case. We evaluate both economic and non-economic losses to develop a demand that reflects your current needs and reasonably foreseeable future costs.

We commonly handle personal injury matters on a contingency basis, meaning fees are collected as a portion of any recovery and you owe nothing upfront for representation. We discuss fee arrangements clearly before proceeding. There may be case costs and expenses advanced during litigation; we explain how those are handled and how they affect recoveries so you have a clear picture of potential financial outcomes.

Seek medical care as soon as possible, report the incident to the appropriate authorities if required, and document the scene with photos if you can do so safely. Collect contact information from witnesses and preserve any relevant evidence. Avoid giving detailed recorded statements to insurers, and contact a firm to review your case. Early action can preserve evidence and protect your ability to pursue a fair recovery.

Yes. Texas applies modified comparative fault, which can reduce your recovery by your share of fault if you are partly responsible, but you may still recover if your fault does not exceed the statutory threshold. Determining fault percentages requires careful review of the facts and evidence. We help analyze liability and argue for the most favorable allocation based on available proof.

Case timelines vary widely depending on injury severity, medical treatment duration, and the willingness of insurers to negotiate. Some matters resolve in a few months; more complex cases can take longer, especially if litigation is required. We provide regular updates and realistic timeline expectations based on the status of medical care, evidence collection, and insurer responses.
