I don’t back down against insurance companies or large corporations — and I don’t stop until we win.

By uncovering the truth and holding responsible parties accountable, I work to secure the financial recovery and sense of justice families need to begin healing.

From city buses to private charters and tour coaches, I investigate every detail of complex bus accident cases.

Frequently Asked Questions – Austin Car Accident Lawyer
1. What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Right after a crash, your safety comes first — check for injuries, call 911, document the scene with photos/videos, exchange insurance info, and get medical attention even for minor pain. Early documentation helps your claim later.
2. Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
No — insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and may twist your words. Let your lawyer handle all communications to protect your claim.
3. How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
In Texas, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim. Waiting too long can forfeit your right to compensation. (Confirmed from general Texas law practices)
4. How much is my case worth?
There is no one‑size‑fits‑all answer — value depends on injury severity, medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, and insurance coverage. Your lawyer will evaluate your unique situation.
5. Can social media hurt my case?
Yes — posting about your accident, injuries, recovery, or activities afterward can be used by insurers against you to downplay the severity of your injuries. Avoid posting and tighten privacy settings.
6. What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Texas uses modified comparative fault, meaning you can still recover compensation if you are less than 51% at fault. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. (Standard Texas legal principle)
7. Do I need a lawyer if my injuries are minor?
Even seemingly minor injuries can lead to expensive long‑term care (like soft tissue, concussion, or back injuries). Lawyers know how to identify, document, and negotiate for full compensation — something many people miss on their own.
8. What if the at‑fault driver has no insurance?
You may still be covered through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Your attorney can review your policy and pursue all available avenues. (Common legal practice in auto accident claims)
9. How long will it take to resolve my accident case?
Each case is unique — some settle in a few months, others take longer due to medical treatment timelines, investigations, and negotiations. More complex cases or disputes may extend the timeline.
10. Can I recover compensation for pain and suffering?
Yes — you may be entitled to non‑economic damages like pain, emotional distress, diminished quality of life, and mental anguish, in addition to medical costs and lost income.
11. What if I thought I was fine but later get worse?
Injuries like whiplash, head trauma, or soft‑tissue injuries can worsen over time. That’s why seeking prompt medical care and maintaining follow‑up visits is crucial for both your health and your legal claim.
12. What evidence should I collect?
Photos/videos of the scene, police report, witness contact info, medical records, repair estimates, and detailed notes about how the crash affected your life — all help strengthen your case.
