How Much Is My Austin Auto Accident Case Worth?
Most Austin TX non-catastrophic auto accident cases settle for $15,000 to $50,000. Cases involving spinal injury, traumatic brain injury, surgery, or permanent impairment routinely exceed $250,000 to $2 million+.
What drives the number up
1) Medical bills — past and projected future. 2) Lost wages and lost earning capacity. 3) Severity and permanence of the injury. 4) Clear liability (the other driver is 100% at fault). 5) High-policy-limit defendants (commercial trucks carry $1M minimum). 6) Strong photographic and video evidence.
What drags the number down
1) Gaps in medical treatment. 2) Pre-existing conditions that overlap with crash injuries. 3) Recorded statements given to the other insurer without counsel. 4) Social media posts that contradict reported pain. 5) Modified comparative fault findings (Texas: 51%+ fault = no recovery).

Common questions
What does it cost to work with your auto accident team in Austin?▾
Zero upfront cost. We take cases on a contingency basis, so our fee comes strictly out of the settlement or verdict — never your pocket. If we don't recover anything, you don't owe anything, and the first consultation is always free, 24/7.
What should I do right after an auto accident in Austin?▾
First, call 911 if anyone is hurt, and don't leave the scene. Photograph everything — vehicles, road conditions, injuries. Collect the other driver's name, license, insurance, and plate. Note the police report number. Get checked by a doctor within 24 to 72 hours, even if nothing feels wrong. And don't accept a recorded statement request from the other insurer — text or call our team first.
How long do I have to bring an auto accident claim in Texas?▾
Texas gives you a two-year window from the date of the crash for injury and property damage claims, and the same two years applies to wrongful death cases. Evidence doesn't wait, though — camera footage is often overwritten within 30 to 90 days — so the sooner you reach out, the more we can preserve.
What if the driver who hit me doesn't have insurance?▾
It's common — roughly 20% of Texas drivers carry no coverage at all. If you've got Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist protection on your own policy, that coverage steps in, and our team pushes your own insurer to honor it fully instead of stalling the claim.
“Sent a text the night I got rear-ended on 35, not expecting much back that late. Had a reply in twenty minutes and a case open by morning. Settlement came through a few months later, covered everything down to the rental car.”
“Someone drove into us drunk near the outlet malls. This team moved fast to lock down the toxicology report before it could get lost in the system, and we ended up with a settlement well above what the adjuster first offered.”
