Automobile Accidents

There are hundreds of thousands of cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles on the roads in the Austin and Central Texas area every day.  Even the most diligent drivers stand a good chance of being involved in an accident at some point in their lives.

In some cases, the injuries caused by these accidents are severe and life-threatening, or even fatal.  In other cases, the accident victims are able to walk away with less severe injuries.  If you’ve been injured in an accident, whether your injuries are severe or relatively minor, we can help.

Auto Accidents:  More than an Inconvenience

People often find that after an accident, their whole world has been turned upside down.  They may be without transportation. They may not be able to work. They may not know where to turn for proper medical treatment.  When we begin representing clients in these types of cases, we immediately provide a number of services to them. First, we explain the entire process and answer any questions they may have.  We quickly determine the appropriate insurance company or companies to contact, and then handle all communications with them, so that the client doesn’t have to.  We can also:

• Help obtain a rental car
• Help arrange for the repair or replacement of the client’s vehicle
• Arrange for the client to be treated by a doctor who specializes in treating people hurt in accidents

All Injuries Caused by Negligence Deserve Compensation

Accident victims sometimes mistakenly believe that if they are not “seriously” injured, their claim is not worth pursuing, and that they should not even seek medical treatment.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

Even an accident which results in relatively minor damage to a vehicle can cause real injuries to the vehicle’s occupants.  Because of this, it’s important to be examined by a doctor following an auto accident.  There is an old saying that when you have good health, you have everything—when you have lost it, you have nothing.

Even if a collision involves a relatively minor impact, accident victims are still entitled under Texas law to receive compensation for their injuries.  And even in minor accidents, the insurance companies will try to take advantage of unsuspecting accident victims.  I know.  I saw it too many times while working for the insurance company.

No Stone Unturned

In working to obtain a fair and honest settlement for our clients, we analyze every type of recovery that may apply under Texas law.  It’s our goal to obtain the best recovery possible for the client, one that provides for future medical needs as well as past medical expenses, past and future pain, suffering and mental anguish, and lost earnings.  Where applicable, we also address recovery for items such as loss of consortium, permanent impairment, disfigurement and wrongful death.

Car Wreck? We can also help with. . .

In addition to the more common types of auto accident cases, we also help clients with cases involving:

• Hit and run drivers
• Drunk drivers
• Uninsured motorists
