24-Hour Car Accident Lawyer in Austin, TX
Crashes do not wait for business hours. Neither do we. Our Austin TX car accident hotline is staffed by a real attorney every hour, every day, every holiday. Call from the crash scene, the emergency room, or your living room at 3am - we answer in under 30 seconds.
Why call within the first hour matters
Insurance adjusters call within hours. Surveillance footage gets overwritten in days. Witness memory fades. Police reports settle into stone. The single biggest predictor of a high-value settlement is how fast a competent attorney locks down evidence. That is why we built a 24/7 attorney hotline instead of a call-center voicemail.
What we do on the first call
1) Confirm you and everyone in your vehicle are medically OK. 2) Walk you through what to photograph at the scene. 3) Tell you exactly what NOT to say to the other driver, the police, or the adjusters. 4) Open your file and start contacting insurers in your name before you leave the scene. 5) Refer you to an Austin physician on a Letter of Protection if injured.
How much does it cost? Nothing.
Free 24/7 consultation. Contingency fee: 33% pre-suit, 40% if we file a lawsuit. No recovery, no fee. Period.
Common questions
How much does a car accident lawyer in Austin cost?▾
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis -- you pay zero out of pocket. Our fee comes from the settlement only if we win your case. If we don't recover money for you, you owe us nothing. The initial 24/7 consultation is always free.
What should I do immediately after a car crash in Austin?▾
1) Call 911 if anyone is injured. 2) Move to safety, do not leave the scene. 3) Photograph the vehicles, road, and injuries. 4) Get the other driver's name, license, insurance, and plate. 5) Get the police report number. 6) See a doctor within 24-72 hours, even if you feel fine. 7) Do NOT give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer. 8) Call our 24/7 hotline at (512) 877-1389 before talking to any adjuster.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?▾
Texas statute of limitations gives you 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury and property damage claims. Wrongful death is also 2 years. But evidence vanishes fast -- camera footage gets overwritten in 30-90 days, witnesses forget, vehicles get repaired. Call within hours, not weeks.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?▾
About 1 in 5 Texas drivers are uninsured. If you have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own policy, your insurance pays. We fight your own insurer hard because they don't pay friendly. We also pursue the at-fault driver's personal assets when appropriate.
“Rear-ended on I-35 at 11pm. Called the hotline, an attorney answered. They had my car in a body shop the next morning and a settlement check 4 months later that covered everything. Worth every minute.”
“Un conductor borracho me chocó. Hablan espanol perfectamente. Me ayudaron con todo: el carro, el doctor, y el seguro. Recibí mucho más de lo que esperaba. Gracias!”
