Wrongful Death Claims in Austin, TX
A fatal Austin crash leaves a family navigating grief and a legal claim at the same time. Our team handles the case quietly and thoroughly in the background — filings, evidence, insurer calls — so your family isn't the one carrying that weight.
How we handle wrongful death claims in Austin
From the moment you call our 24/7 hotline, an attorney starts work on your case. We pull the Austin Police Department crash report, request surveillance footage along I-35, MoPac, or US-290 corridors before it is overwritten, interview witnesses while their memory is fresh, and refer you to top Austin physicians on a Letter of Protection so you can get medical care with zero out of pocket.
What does it cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee: 33% of the recovery if your case settles before a lawsuit is filed, 40% if a lawsuit is filed. If we do not recover money for you, you owe us nothing. The initial 24/7 consultation is always free.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Texas statute of limitations gives you 2 years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. But evidence vanishes fast — dashcam and business surveillance footage routinely gets overwritten in 30 to 90 days. Call our 24/7 hotline within hours, not weeks.
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.”
