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
What does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer in Austin?▾
Nothing out of pocket, ever. We work purely on contingency, which means our fee only comes out of money we win for you -- if there's no recovery, you owe us nothing. The first call is always free, any hour.
I was just in a crash in Austin -- what do I do right now?▾
Call 911 if anyone's hurt. Stay at the scene and get everyone to safety. Take photos of the cars, the road, and any visible injuries. Get the other driver's license, insurance, and plate number, plus the police report number. See a doctor within a day or two even if you feel okay. Don't give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer -- call our hotline first.
How long do I have to file a claim after a Texas car accident?▾
Two years from the crash date, for both injury and property damage claims -- that's Texas's statute of limitations, and it's the same two years for a wrongful death claim. But don't wait: surveillance footage often gets erased in 30 to 90 days and memories fade fast. Call within hours if you can.
What happens if the other driver has no insurance?▾
It happens more than you'd think -- close to 1 in 5 drivers in Texas are uninsured. If your own policy carries Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, that's what pays, and we make sure your insurer treats that claim seriously instead of stalling.
“Got rear-ended on MoPac during rush hour and thought I'd be fighting the insurance company myself. Called the hotline instead, had an attorney on the phone in minutes, and the whole thing wrapped up in under four months with a check that covered every bill.”
