Car Accidents

Truck Accidents

Commercial truck crashes involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and insurers with specialized adjusters. You need an attorney who handles these cases specifically.

Truck Accidents Attorneys

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are disproportionately blamed when they're hit. Texas law protects you regardless — but your attorney needs to know how to counter that bias.

Wrongful Death

Texas has specific wrongful death and survival statutes. Who can file, what damages are available, and how long you have — your attorney needs to know all of it before your window closes.

Wrongful Death Attorneys

Slip & Fall

Property owners have legal duties to maintain safe conditions. When they fail, Texas premises liability law gives you a path to compensation — but you have to act quickly.

Slip & Fall Attorneys

Dog Bites

Texas applies a one-bite rule with strict liability exceptions. The specifics of how and where the bite occurred determine which standard applies to your case.

Premises Liability

Your status on the property matters: invitee, licensee, or trespasser. That classification determines the standard of care owed — and your attorney needs to get it right.

Premises Liability Attorneys

Product Liability

Defective products can injure without warning. Texas product liability law covers design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn — all with different proof requirements.

Product Liability Attorneys

Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries often aren't apparent immediately. Documentation and medical evaluation timing matter enormously — your attorney needs experience with TBI-specific damages.

Spinal Injuries

Spinal cord injuries involve long-term care costs, loss of income, and quality-of-life damages that require careful calculation. The right attorney knows how to present these numbers.

What You Should Know Before You Call

Two-year statute of limitations

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives most personal injury claimants two years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss the deadline and you lose the right to recover, regardless of how strong your case is.

Modified comparative negligence

Texas follows a 51% bar rule. If you're found more than 50% at fault for your own injury, you cannot recover damages. Under 51%, your recovery is reduced proportionally to your percentage of fault.

Contingency fee representation

Most Austin personal injury attorneys work on contingency — meaning they only collect a fee if they win your case. You don't pay out of pocket for legal representation.

Document everything immediately

Photographs, witness contact info, medical records, police reports. Evidence deteriorates and memories fade. What you document in the first 24 hours often determines what's provable later.

Common Questions

Personal Injury FAQs

How much does a personal injury attorney cost in Austin?

Most Austin personal injury attorneys work on contingency fees — typically 33% if settled before filing suit, and up to 40% if the case goes to trial. You pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket unless your case resolves in your favor.

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

Generally two years from the date of injury under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003. There are exceptions — for injuries to minors, claims against government entities, and certain latent injuries — but you should not count on an exception applying to your case. Contact an attorney well before the deadline.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident?

Texas uses modified comparative negligence. As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages — but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you can recover $80,000.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

Not before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Attorneys in our network can handle all insurance communications on your behalf.
