No Fee Unless We Win - Austin Car Accident Lawyer
We work on a strict no-fee-unless-we-win contingency. You pay zero out of pocket, ever. Our fee comes only out of the settlement we recover for you. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
How the contingency fee works
33% of the gross recovery if the case settles before a lawsuit is filed. 40% if a lawsuit must be filed to force a fair settlement. Costs (filing fees, expert witnesses, deposition transcripts) are advanced by us and only reimbursed from your recovery - never out of your pocket up front.
What "no recovery, no fee" really means
If we take your case and cannot recover money - whether through settlement, mediation, or trial - you owe us $0. No fee. No costs. No bill. We assume the financial risk so you can assume the recovery risk.
Why insurers settle higher with us
Texas insurers know which firms file lawsuits and which firms accept lowball offers. We file. Aggressively. That single fact moves the average settlement by a six-figure margin on a serious case.
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.”
