Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file an auto accident lawsuit in Texas?▾
2 years from the date of the accident. Do not wait — evidence disappears and insurance companies use delay against you.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?▾
Almost never. First offers are designed to close claims fast and cheap before you know your full damages. Represented victims recover 3–5x more on average.
What if I was partially at fault for the auto accident?▾
Texas modified comparative fault allows recovery as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much does an auto accident attorney cost in Austin?▾
Nothing upfront — contingency fee means you pay only if you win, typically 33% before suit, 40% after filing.
