Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Accident Coverage for Austin and Travis County

Car Accidents in Austin (Tier 1)

Austin’s growing population and traffic congestion make car accidents all too common. In 2024 alone, Texas saw 251,977 people injured in motor vehicle crashes—with many occurring right here in Travis County. That’s one crash every 57 seconds across the state, and one person injured every 2 minutes and 5 seconds.

Common causes of car accidents in Austin:

Distracted driving (especially along tech corridors like the Domain)
Speeding on highways like I-35 and US-183
Failure to yield at busy intersections (Guadalupe and Congress, Lamar and 11th)
Running red lights (a major issue in downtown Austin)
Following too closely (common on MoPac during rush hour)
Drunk driving (especially around Sixth Street and Rainey Street entertainment districts)

Common injuries in Austin car accidents:

Whiplash and soft tissue injuries (common in rear-end collisions on MoPac)
Herniated discs (frequently seen in high-speed crashes on I-35)
Broken bones and fractures (often from T-bone accidents at Austin intersections)
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) (can occur even in low-speed collisions)
Spinal cord injuries (serious accidents on US-183 or SH-130)
Internal organ damage (common in high-impact crashes)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (many Austin accident victims develop anxiety about driving)

Attorney911 Case Result:

“In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident on I-35. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions.”

Client Testimonial:

“Leonor got me into the doctor the same day after my accident on MoPac. It only took 6 months to get a great settlement—amazing!” – Chavodrian M.

18-Wheeler and Trucking Accidents in Austin (Tier 1)

Austin’s position as a major transportation hub means our roads see heavy truck traffic. In 2024, Texas experienced 39,393 commercial motor vehicle crashes, resulting in 608 fatalities and 1,601 serious injuries. With I-35 running through the heart of Austin and serving as a major NAFTA corridor, trucking accidents are a serious concern for Travis County residents.

The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks (up to 80,000 pounds) mean accidents often result in catastrophic injuries. When you’re hit by a truck on I-35, US-183, or SH-130, you need a law firm with the resources and experience to take on trucking companies and their insurance carriers.

Why trucking accidents are more complex:

Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loader, manufacturer)
Higher insurance limits ($750,000 to $5,000,000+ policies)
Federal regulations (FMCSA) that can establish negligence
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data that can prove violations
Black box data that shows speed, braking, and other critical factors

FMCSA Federal Regulations (Violations = Negligence Per Se):

Hours of Service (HOS): Max 11 hours driving after 10 hours off-duty
14-Hour Window: Cannot drive beyond 14th consecutive hour on duty
30-Minute Break: Required after 8 hours driving
60/70-Hour Weekly Limits: Cannot exceed weekly driving limits
ELD Requirements: Electronic Logging Devices mandatory since 2019
Commercial Driver BAC Limit: 0.04% (half the limit for regular drivers)

Attorney911 Case Result:

“At Attorney911, our personal injury attorneys have helped numerous injured individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation.”

Why Attorney911 for Austin Trucking Accidents:

Federal court admission (Southern District of Texas) for complex cases
BP explosion litigation experience (taking on billion-dollar corporations)
Former insurance defense attorney on staff (knows their tactics)
Multi-million dollar results in trucking cases
Willingness to go to trial if insurance companies won’t pay fairly

Nuclear Verdicts in Texas Trucking Cases:

2024 Oncor Electric: $37.5M verdict (distracted truck driver)
2024 New Prime I-35 pileup: $44.1M verdict (6 deaths)
2024 Ben E. Keith (Fort Worth): $35M settlement (largest in Fort Worth history)

If you’ve been injured in a trucking accident in Austin or Travis County, evidence disappears daily. ELD data can be overwritten in 30-180 days. Call Attorney911 immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911.

Drunk Driving Accidents in Austin (Tier 1)

Austin’s vibrant nightlife, from Sixth Street to Rainey Street, makes our city particularly vulnerable to drunk driving accidents. In 2024, Texas saw 1,053 alcohol-impaired driving deaths—25.37% of all traffic fatalities. That’s one death every 39 minutes from alcohol-impaired driving.

Dram Shop Liability in Texas (TABC § 2.02):
Texas law allows you to sue establishments that over-serve obviously intoxicated patrons who then cause accidents. This means you may have claims against both the drunk driver AND the bar or restaurant that served them.

Elements to Prove Dram Shop Liability:

Establishment served patron who was obviously intoxicated
Over-service was proximate cause of accident/damages

Signs of Obvious Intoxication:

Slurred speech
Bloodshot/glassy eyes
Unsteady gait/stumbling
Impaired coordination
Aggressive or erratic behavior
Strong odor of alcohol

Potentially Liable Parties in Austin:

Bars and nightclubs (Sixth Street, Rainey Street, The Domain)
Restaurants serving alcohol (especially those with bar areas)
Liquor stores
Event organizers (Austin City Limits, SXSW, private parties)
Social hosts (limited circumstances in Texas)

Why Drunk Driving Cases Have Higher Value:

Punitive damages available (gross negligence)
Multiple defendants (driver + bar/restaurant)
Criminal case strengthens civil case
Insurance cannot defend the indefensible

Attorney911’s Criminal Defense Advantage:
Our firm’s criminal defense experience (including HCCLA membership) gives us unique insight into drunk driving cases. We’ve successfully had DWI charges dismissed in the past by:

Proving breathalyzer machines were improperly maintained
Showing missing EMS and hospital notes
Demonstrating video evidence that showed clients weren’t drunk

If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver in Austin, you may have claims against both the driver AND the establishment that served them. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 to explore all your legal options.

Motorcycle Accidents in Austin (Tier 1)

Austin’s scenic Hill Country roads and warm climate make it a popular destination for motorcyclists. Unfortunately, Texas saw 585 motorcyclist fatalities in 2024, with many occurring right here in Travis County. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on Austin’s roads, from the tight curves of Loop 360 to the high-speed traffic on I-35.

Texas Motorcycle Accident Statistics:

37% of fatal motorcycle accident victims were NOT wearing helmets
90%+ of fatal victims are male
Helmets reduce death risk by 37%
Travis County is among the top counties for motorcycle fatalities

Texas Helmet Law:

Required for all riders under 21
Riders 21+ exempt IF:
- Completed approved safety course, OR
- Have $10,000+ medical insurance coverage

High-Risk Areas for Motorcycle Accidents in Austin:

I-35: High-speed traffic and frequent lane changes
Loop 360 (Capital of Texas Highway): Scenic but dangerous curves
MoPac Expressway (Loop 1): Heavy commuter traffic
Downtown Austin: Heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic
Rural roads (SH-71, FM 2222): High speeds and limited visibility

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Austin:

Failure to yield right of way (most common)
Driver inattention/distraction (especially around tech corridors)
Unsafe lane changes (common on MoPac and I-35)
Left-turn accidents (T-bone/head-on collisions at intersections)
Speeding/reckless driving (especially on rural roads)

Comparative Negligence Issue:
Texas’s 51% bar rule is critically important for motorcyclists. Insurance companies ALWAYS try to blame the rider to reduce their payment. Lupe Peña’s experience as a former insurance defense attorney is invaluable in countering these arguments.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Austin, don’t let insurance companies blame you. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation.

Pedestrian Accidents in Austin (Tier 1)

Austin’s growing population and urban development have made pedestrian safety a major concern. In 2024, Texas saw 6,095 pedestrian crashes, resulting in 768 fatalities. Pedestrians account for just 1% of crashes but 19% of ALL roadway deaths.

Austin’s Pedestrian Safety Crisis:

119 pedestrians killed on Austin streets in 2024 (a record)
Downtown Austin, The Drag (Guadalupe Street), and South Congress are high-risk areas
University of Texas campus sees frequent pedestrian accidents

Critical Legal Point for Austin Pedestrians:
Pedestrians ALWAYS have right-of-way at intersections under Texas law—even at unmarked crosswalks. Many drivers don’t know this. “Anytime there’s an intersection of two streets, the distance between them is a crosswalk” – even if unmarked.

Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents:

Traumatic brain injuries (common even in low-speed collisions)
Spinal cord injuries (often resulting in paralysis)
Broken pelvis and legs (from direct impact)
Internal organ damage (can be life-threatening)
Fatalities (especially in high-speed zones)

High-Risk Areas for Pedestrian Accidents in Austin:

Downtown Austin: Heavy foot traffic and vehicle congestion
The Drag (Guadalupe Street): University of Texas students crossing
South Congress Avenue: Popular tourist destination with heavy pedestrian traffic
East Austin: Rapid development and increased foot traffic
Intersections along Lamar Boulevard: High-volume traffic areas

If you’ve been hit by a car while walking in Austin, you have rights. Pedestrians almost always have the right-of-way. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 to protect your rights.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft) in Austin (Tier 1)

Austin’s tech-savvy population and vibrant nightlife make rideshare services like Uber and Lyft extremely popular. With over 17 million Uber trips daily nationwide, rideshare accidents are becoming increasingly common in Travis County.

Rideshare Industry Scale:

11 billion trips in US since 2010
17.4 million Uber trips daily
118 million Uber users worldwide

CRITICAL: Rideshare Insurance Phases

Phase	Driver Status	Coverage Available
Period 0 – Offline	App off, personal use	Personal insurance only (TX minimum: $30K/$60K/$25K)
Period 1 – Waiting	App on, no ride request	Contingent coverage: $50K/$100K/$25K
Period 2 – Accepted	Ride accepted, en route to pickup	Full commercial: $1,000,000 liability
Period 3 – Transporting	Passenger in vehicle	Full commercial: $1,000,000 liability

Why This Matters for Austin Victims:
Insurance coverage varies DRAMATICALLY based on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash. This complexity is why you need an attorney with rideshare experience.

Who Can Be Injured in Rideshare Accidents:

21% Riders
21% Drivers
58% Third parties (other drivers, pedestrians, passengers in other vehicles)

Common Rideshare Accident Scenarios in Austin:

Distracted driving: Driver using app to find passenger or navigate
Fatigue: Drivers working long hours to maximize earnings
Intoxicated passengers: Distracting the driver or causing unsafe conditions
Sudden stops: Drivers making quick decisions to pick up passengers
Doorings: Passengers opening doors into traffic (common in downtown Austin)

At Attorney911, our former insurance defense attorney Lupe Peña understands the complex insurance phases and knows how to maximize your recovery. If you’ve been injured in an Austin rideshare accident, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately.

Texas Motor Vehicle Law Framework

Statute of Limitations

Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003

Claim Type	Time Limit	Starts From
Personal Injury	2 years	Date of accident
Wrongful Death	2 years	Date of death
Property Damage	2 years	Date of damage
Government Claims	6 months notice	Date of incident
Minors	Tolled until 18	Then 2 years

Exceptions:

Discovery Rule: SOL may start later if injury/cause not immediately discoverable
Defendant Absence: Tolled if defendant leaves Texas
Mental Incapacity: Tolled during incapacity

CRITICAL: Miss the deadline = case BARRED forever. Cannot be extended or waived.

Comparative Negligence (51% Bar Rule)

Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 33.001

Texas uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar:

If you are 50% or less at fault → You can recover damages (reduced by your % of fault)
If you are 51% or more at fault → You recover NOTHING

Examples:

Your Fault %	Case Value	Your Recovery
0%	$100,000	$100,000
10%	$100,000	$90,000
25%	$250,000	$187,500
40%	$500,000	$300,000
50%	$500,000	$250,000
51%	$500,000	$0

Why This Matters for Austin Accident Victims:
Insurance companies ALWAYS try to assign maximum fault to you to reduce their payment. Even small fault percentages cost you thousands:

10% fault on $100,000 case = $10,000 less for you
25% fault on $250,000 case = $62,500 less for you
40% fault on $500,000 case = $200,000 less for you

Lupe’s Insurance Defense Experience:
Lupe Peña spent years working for insurance companies, making these exact arguments. Now he uses that knowledge to FIGHT these tactics. He knows which arguments insurance adjusters will make and how to counter them effectively.

Texas Minimum Auto Insurance (30/60/25)

Coverage	Minimum Required
Bodily Injury – Per Person	$30,000
Bodily Injury – Per Accident	$60,000
Property Damage – Per Accident	$25,000

Uninsured Motorist Statistics in Texas:

15.4% of Texas motorists are uninsured (approximately 1 in 7 drivers)
UM/UIM coverage is critical for protection
Texas allows inter-policy stacking (combining coverage from multiple vehicles)

Insurance Tactics: How Insurance Companies Try to Screw Austin Accident Victims

At Attorney911, we know how insurance companies operate because our attorney Lupe Peña used to work for them. He spent years defending insurance companies against accident victims, learning their tactics from the inside. Now he uses that knowledge to fight FOR you.

Tactic #1: Quick Contact & Recorded Statement (Days 1-3)

What Insurance Companies Do:

Within 24-72 hours of your Austin car accident, insurance adjusters will contact you—often while you’re:

Still in the hospital (Dell Seton, St. David’s, Ascension Seton)
On pain medication (confused, groggy)
Scared about your injuries and financial future
Don’t understand the legal process
Vulnerable and in crisis

They Act Friendly and Helpful:

“We just want to help you”
“We need to get your side of the story to process your claim”
“This is routine, everyone does this”
“It’ll only take a few minutes”

What They’re Really Doing:

Building Their Defense Against You with Leading Questions:

Question They Ask	What They Want You to Say
“You’re feeling better now though, right?”	Trap you into saying you’re improving
“It wasn’t that bad of an impact, was it?”	Minimize collision severity
“You were able to walk away from the scene?”	Suggest injuries not serious
“Were you distracted at all?”	Get you to admit distraction
“How fast were you going?”	Hope you overestimate or say “I don’t know”

Everything is documented, recorded, transcribed, and WILL be used against you. You cannot take it back.

The Truth:

You are NOT required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance
Giving a statement without an attorney ALMOST ALWAYS hurts your case
Insurance companies know this—that’s why they push so hard

How Attorney911 Counters:

DO NOT give a recorded statement without us.

Once you hire Attorney911:

We become your voice
All calls go through us
You don’t talk to adjusters
We prepare you properly if a statement becomes absolutely necessary
We sit with you during any statements

We know their questions because Lupe asked them for years.

Tactic #2: Quick Settlement Offer (Weeks 1-3)

What Insurance Companies Do:

Within days or weeks of your Austin accident, the insurance company will offer quick money:

Typical offers: $2,000-$5,000
Sometimes $10,000-$15,000 if they’re scared
Sounds good when you have zero money and mounting bills

They Create Artificial Urgency:

“This offer expires in 48 hours”
“I can only get approval for this amount right now”
“Take it or leave it”
“This is our final offer” (it’s not)

The Trap:

You Don’t Know the Extent of Your Injuries Yet:

What Happens	Result
Day 3: Insurance offers $3,500 “final settlement”	You’re desperate, in pain, scared
You sign the release	You think it’s over
Week 6: MRI shows herniated disc requiring surgery	Surgery costs $100,000
TOO LATE	You signed release, can’t reopen claim
You pay $100,000 out of pocket	Insurance pays nothing more

RELEASE IS PERMANENT AND FINAL.

How Attorney911 Counters:

NEVER settle before Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)

MMI = as good as you’ll get medically
Could be 6 months, 12 months, 24+ months depending on injuries
Can’t know true case value until MMI
We know offers are ALWAYS lowball
Lupe calculated these lowball offers for years—he KNOWS they’re offering 10-20% of true value

Tactic #3: “Independent” Medical Exam (Months 2-6)

What They Call It:
“Independent Medical Examination” (IME)

What It Really Is:
Insurance Company Hired Doctor to Minimize Your Injuries

How Insurance Companies Choose IME Doctors (Lupe Knows This):

Selection Criteria:

Based on who gives insurance-favorable reports (NOT who’s most qualified)
Doctors who consistently find “no injury” or “pre-existing condition”
Doctors paid THOUSANDS by insurance companies ($2,000-$5,000 per exam)
Repeat business = repeat favorable reports

What Happens at IME:

10-15 Minute “Examination”:

Cursory physical exam (vs. your treating doctor’s thorough evaluation)
Rarely review your complete medical records beforehand
Ask questions designed to elicit “I’m feeling better” responses
Look for ANY reason to minimize injuries

Common IME Doctor Findings:

What They Say	What It Means
“Patient has pre-existing degenerative changes”	Everyone over 40 has some arthritis – used to deny claims
“Injuries consistent with minor trauma”	Minimizes your pain and suffering
“Patient can return to full duty work”	Eliminates lost wage claims
“Treatment has been excessive”	Attacks your treating doctors
“Subjective complaints out of proportion to objective findings”	Medical speak for calling you a LIAR

How Attorney911 Counters:

We prepare you extensively before the exam
We send complete medical records to the IME doctor first (forcing review)
We challenge biased IME reports with our own medical experts
Lupe knows these specific doctors and their biases—he hired them for years

Tactic #4: Delay and Financial Pressure (Months 6-12+)

What Insurance Companies Do:

Drag Your Case Out Hoping You Get Desperate:

“Still investigating your claim”
“Waiting for medical records” (that we sent months ago)
“Reviewing your file”
“Need additional information”
Ignore calls and emails
Take weeks to respond to simple questions

Why Delay Works (On People Without Attorneys):

Insurance Companies Have:

Unlimited time
Unlimited resources
No financial pressure
Earning interest on YOUR settlement money while delaying

You Have:

Mounting bills
Zero income
Creditors threatening
Need money NOW

Financial Desperation Makes You Accept Less:

Month 1: You’d reject $5,000 offer
Month 6: You’d seriously consider $5,000
Month 12: You’d BEG for $5,000 just to end the nightmare

How Attorney911 Counters:

We file lawsuits to force deadlines
We set depositions forcing them to produce witnesses
We prepare for trial showing we’re serious
Lupe understands delay tactics because he used them—knows when to push

Tactic #5: Surveillance and Social Media Monitoring

What Insurance Companies Do:

They Hire Private Investigators:

Video you doing daily activities
Film from public places (your driveway, street, stores)
Follow you to appointments, errands, social activities
Look for ANY activity contradicting injury claims
One video of you bending over = “Not really injured”

They Monitor ALL Your Social Media:

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat
Screenshot EVERYTHING: photos, posts, check-ins, comments, likes
Monitor your friends’ profiles for posts mentioning you
Use facial recognition to find photos you’re tagged in
Archive your entire social media history

Examples We’ve Defended in Austin:

Example	What Happened	Insurance Claimed	Reality
Old Photo	Gym photo from 3 YEARS AGO	Presented as recent, contradicts injury	We proved metadata was pre-accident
Restaurant Check-in	Facebook check-in at restaurant	“Partying and having fun”	Sitting quietly having dinner
Friend’s Comment	Friend posted “Had fun yesterday!”	Evidence of non-injury	Client was resting at home
Walking Dog	Video of client walking dog slowly	“Not disabled”	Doctor RECOMMENDED short walks
Smiling in Photo	Family photo smiling	“Not in pain – she’s smiling!”	Everyone smiles for photos

7 Rules for Austin Clients:

Make ALL profiles private immediately
DON’T post about your accident, injuries, activities, emotions, or case
DON’T check in anywhere
Tell friends/family: don’t tag, don’t post about you
Don’t accept friend requests from strangers (fake profiles)
BEST: Stay off social media entirely during your case
Assume EVERYTHING is being monitored

Lupe’s Insider Quote:

“I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos and social media posts as a defense attorney. Here’s the truth: Insurance companies take innocent activity out of context. They freeze ONE frame of you moving ‘normally’ and ignore the 10 minutes of you struggling before and after. They’re not documenting your life—they’re building ammunition against you.”

Tactic #6: Comparative Fault Arguments

What Insurance Companies Do:

Try to Assign You MAXIMUM Fault to Reduce Their Payment:

“You were speeding” (without evidence)
“You weren’t paying attention” (speculation)
“You could have avoided this” (hindsight bias)
“You were distracted” (guessing)
“You contributed to this accident” (shifting blame)

Why They Do This:

Texas 51% Bar Rule Means:

If you’re 51%+ at fault → You get NOTHING
If you’re 50% or less at fault → Your damages reduced by your percentage

Even Small Fault Percentages Cost Thousands:

10% fault on $100,000 case = $10,000 less for you
25% fault on $250,000 case = $62,500 less for you
40% fault on $500,000 case = $200,000 less for you

How Attorney911 Counters:

Aggressive Liability Investigation:

Accident reconstruction proving the other driver’s fault
Witness statements supporting your version
Police report analysis emphasizing citations
Expert testimony on perception-reaction time

Lupe knows their fault arguments because he made them for years—now he defeats them.

Colossus: How Insurance Companies ACTUALLY Value Your Austin Car Accident Claim

At Attorney911, we know how insurance companies really value claims because our attorney Lupe Peña used to work with these systems. He spent years calculating claim values for insurance companies. Now he uses that knowledge to fight FOR Austin accident victims.

How Colossus Works

Colossus is a computerized claim valuation system used by Allstate, State Farm, Liberty Mutual, and other major insurers. Here’s how it works:

Step	What Happens
1. Data Entry	Adjuster inputs injury codes, treatment, costs, jurisdiction
2. Coding	Injuries coded using standardized medical terms
3. Calculation	Software applies algorithms to determine “value”
4. Range Output	System provides recommended settlement range
5. Authority	Adjuster typically cannot exceed without supervisor approval

How Insurance Manipulates Colossus

Manipulation	Effect
Low Injury Codes	“Soft tissue strain” instead of “disc herniation” reduces value 50-100%
Excessive Treatment Flags	Therapy beyond “normal” range triggers reduction
Conservative Treatment Penalty	Chiropractic valued less than MD
Pre-Existing Reduction	Any prior condition used to reduce value
Jurisdiction Factor	Low-verdict counties (like some rural Texas areas) get lower values

Why Lupe’s Experience Matters

Knows how to code injuries properly for maximum value
Knows which medical terms trigger higher valuations
Knows when Colossus output is artificially low
Knows how to present records to beat the algorithm
Worked with these systems for years as a defense attorney

Reserve Setting: The Hidden Game

What Reserves Are:

Money insurance company sets aside for your claim
Based on worst-case scenario (their estimate of trial verdict)
Adjuster usually CANNOT settle for more than reserve without approval

How We Increase Reserves:

Hiring experts (shows we’re investing in the case)
Taking depositions (creating litigation expense)
Filing lawsuit (forces trial evaluation)
Preparing for trial (shows we won’t back down)

Lupe understands reserve psychology and settlement authority limits—this is a GAME-CHANGING advantage for Austin clients.

Nuclear Verdicts: Why Insurance Companies Fear Austin Juries

Nuclear verdicts (jury awards exceeding $10 million) are becoming more common in Texas, and insurance companies fear them. This fear increases settlement values for ALL serious injury cases.

Recent Texas Nuclear Verdicts:

Year	Case	Amount
2024	Hatch v. Jones (car accident wrongful death)	$81,720,000
2024	Frito-Lay Warehouse (vehicle collision)	$72,000,000
2024	Lopez v. All Points 360 (Amazon)	$105,000,000
2024	New Prime I-35 pileup (6 deaths)	$44,100,000
2024	Oncor Electric (trucking)	$37,500,000

Attorney911’s trial readiness and multi-million dollar track record give us leverage in every negotiation. Insurance companies know we’re prepared to take cases to trial if they won’t offer fair settlements.

Why Choose Attorney911 for Your Austin Car Accident Case

When you’ve been injured in an Austin car accident, you have many law firms to choose from. Here’s why Attorney911 stands out:

1. Insurance Defense Insider Advantage

“Lupe Peña worked for a number of years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims.”

What This Means for Your Austin Case:

We know their tactics because Lupe used them
We anticipate their strategies before they deploy them
We know how they value claims internally
We know which IME doctors they favor
We know how to beat their algorithms

No other firm in Austin has this advantage.

2. Multi-Million Dollar Results

Attorney911 has recovered millions for victims of:

Brain injuries: “Multi-million dollar settlement for client who suffered brain injury with vision loss”
Amputations: “This case settled in the millions”
Trucking wrongful death: “Recovered millions of dollars in compensation”
Maritime injuries: “Significant cash settlement”

Our results prove we don’t settle cheap.

3. Federal Court Experience

Why This Matters for Austin Cases:

Complex cases often end up in federal court
FMCSA trucking regulations are federal
Diversity jurisdiction for out-of-state defendants
Federal court requires different skills than state court

BP Explosion Litigation: “Our firm is one of the few firms in Texas to be involved in BP explosion litigation”

Frequently Asked Questions About Austin Car Accidents

Immediate After Accident

1. What should I do immediately after a car accident in Austin, Travis County, Texas?

If you’ve been in an accident in Austin:

Call 911 and report the accident to Austin Police Department or Travis County Sheriff
Seek medical attention even if you feel fine (adrenaline masks injuries)
Document everything: photos of damage, injuries, scene
Exchange information with the other driver
Get witness names and phone numbers
Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company
Call Attorney911: 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance

2. Should I call the police even for a minor accident in Austin?

Yes. Always call the police. The police report is critical evidence. In Texas, you must report accidents with injuries, deaths, or property damage over $1,000. Austin Police Department and Travis County Sheriff respond to accidents throughout the county.

3. Should I seek medical attention if I don’t feel hurt after an Austin accident?

ABSOLUTELY. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately:

Traumatic brain injuries can take days to manifest
Internal bleeding may not be obvious
Herniated discs may not cause pain for weeks
Adrenaline masks pain at the scene

Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you. Get checked immediately at Dell Seton Medical Center, St. David’s Medical Center, Ascension Seton, or another Austin trauma center.

4. What information should I collect at the scene of an Austin accident?

Other driver: name, phone, address, driver’s license, insurance
Vehicle: make, model, color, license plate
Witnesses: names and phone numbers
Photos: all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals
Police: officer name, badge number, report number

5. Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault at the scene?

Exchange information only
Do NOT discuss fault
Do NOT apologize or say “I’m sorry” (can be used as admission)
Do NOT give your opinion on what happened
Stick to facts only

6. How do I obtain a copy of the accident report in Austin?

You can obtain the police report from the responding agency (Austin Police Department or Travis County Sheriff) or through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS).

Dealing with Insurance

7. Should I give a recorded statement to insurance after my Austin accident?

To the other driver’s insurance: NO. Not without an attorney.
To your own insurance: You have a duty to cooperate, but call Attorney911 first. We can advise you.

8. What if the other driver’s insurance company contacts me after my Austin accident?

Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.” Give only basic information (name, date of accident). Do NOT give a recorded statement. Do NOT discuss injuries or fault.

9. Do I have to accept the insurance company’s estimate for my Austin accident?

No. Their estimate is just an offer. It’s usually far below actual value. Attorney911 fights for what your Austin car accident case is really worth.

10. Should I accept a quick settlement offer from the insurance company?

NEVER accept a settlement before knowing the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money even if you need surgery later. Early offers are ALWAYS lowball offers.

11. What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured in Austin?

Your own UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage can compensate you. Watch our video: “Uninsured & Underinsured Motorists” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8

12. Why does the insurance company want me to sign a medical authorization?

They want unlimited access to your ENTIRE medical history to find pre-existing conditions to use against you. Never sign without attorney review. We limit authorizations to accident-related records only.

Legal Process

13. Do I have a personal injury case after my Austin car accident?

You may have a case if:

Someone else was at fault (even partially)
You suffered injuries or damages
There is insurance to recover from

Watch our video: “Do I Have a Good Case?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-PMMP5Jims

14. When should I hire an Austin car accident lawyer?

Immediately. Evidence disappears daily. Insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 as soon as possible after your Austin accident.

15. How much time do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Texas?

In Texas: 2 years from the date of your accident for personal injury, 2 years from the date of death for wrongful death. This is called the statute of limitations. Miss it = case barred forever. Cannot be extended or waived.

16. What is comparative negligence and how does it affect my Austin car accident case?

Texas uses the 51% bar rule. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages (reduced by your fault %). If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Watch our video: “What Is Comparative Negligence?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzHKY_v9l4

17. What happens if I was partially at fault for my Austin car accident?

You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault in a $100,000 case, you’d recover $80,000.

18. Will my Austin car accident case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial. But Attorney911 prepares every case AS IF it’s going to trial. That’s what gives us leverage in negotiations.

Watch our video: “Will Your Case Go to Trial?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed5AnmCMcc

19. How long will my Austin car accident case take to settle?

Depends on injury severity. We don’t settle until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI). Could be 6 months for minor injuries, 18-24 months for serious injuries.

20. What is the legal process step-by-step for an Austin car accident case?

Investigation and evidence gathering
Medical treatment to MMI
Demand letter to insurance
Negotiation
Lawsuit if necessary
Discovery
Mediation
Trial if needed

Watch our video: “What Is the Process for a Personal Injury Claim?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwzYymneDVs

Compensation

21. What is my Austin car accident case worth?

Depends on: injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, permanent impairment, pain and suffering, insurance available. Cases range from $15,000 (soft tissue) to millions (catastrophic injury).

22. What types of damages can I recover after an Austin car accident?

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Physical impairment
Disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life
Property damage

23. Can I get compensation for pain and suffering after my Austin car accident?

Yes. Pain and suffering is a significant component of personal injury cases in Texas. There is NO CAP on pain and suffering (except medical malpractice).

24. What if I have a pre-existing condition after my Austin accident?

You can still recover if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is called the “eggshell plaintiff” rule. We hire medical experts to prove the difference.

25. Will I have to pay taxes on my Austin car accident settlement?

Generally, compensation for physical injuries is NOT taxable. Punitive damages ARE taxable. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.

26. How is the value of my Austin car accident claim determined?

Based on: medical bills, future treatment costs, lost income, permanent impairment rating, comparable verdicts, severity of injuries, impact on daily life.

Attorney Relationship

27. How much do Austin car accident lawyers cost?

Attorney911 works on contingency: 33.33% before trial, 40% if trial. You pay nothing upfront. We don’t get paid unless we win your Austin car accident case.

Watch our video: “How Do Contingency Fees Work?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upcI_j6F7Nc

28. What does “no fee unless we win” mean for my Austin case?

You pay zero unless we recover money for you. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. We advance all case costs.

29. How often will I get updates on my Austin car accident case?

Attorney911 provides regular updates. As client Dame Haskett said: “Consistent communication and not one time did I call and not get a clear answer.”

30. Who will actually handle my Austin car accident case?

At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, not just paralegals. As Chad Harris said: “You are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”

31. What if I already hired another attorney for my Austin car accident?

You can switch. As client Greg Garcia said: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.” Call 1-888-ATTY-911 to discuss switching.

Mistakes to Avoid

32. What common mistakes can hurt my Austin car accident case?

Giving a recorded statement without an attorney
Accepting a quick settlement
Delaying medical treatment
Gaps in treatment
Posting on social media
Signing releases or authorizations
Not documenting everything

Watch our video: “Client Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Case” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3IYsoxOSxY

33. Should I post about my Austin car accident on social media?

NO. Make all profiles private. Don’t post about your accident, injuries, or activities. Insurance monitors everything.

34. Why shouldn’t I sign anything without an Austin car accident lawyer?

Releases are PERMANENT. Medical authorizations give unlimited access. Settlement offers are binding. Once signed, you can’t undo it.

35. What if I didn’t see a doctor right away after my Austin car accident?

See one NOW. Explain you didn’t realize the severity of your injuries. Delayed symptoms are common. We can still help.

Additional Common Questions

36. What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover. If the accident AGGRAVATED your pre-existing condition, you’re entitled to compensation for the aggravation. “Eggshell plaintiff” rule: Defendant takes victim as they find them. Example: You had mild occasional back pain. Accident caused herniated disc requiring surgery. You recover for the NEW injury, not just the pre-existing pain. We hire medical experts to prove the difference. Lupe knows how insurance attacks pre-existing conditions—he used this defense for years.

37. Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current Austin car accident lawyer?

YES. You can fire your attorney at any time. If your attorney isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pushing you to settle cheap, you have the right to switch. Attorney911 has taken over many cases from other attorneys. As Greg Garcia said: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.” Call 1-888-ATTY-911 to discuss switching.

38. What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claims are against YOUR insurance when the other driver has no insurance or insufficient insurance. Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would. You need attorney representation. Texas allows inter-policy stacking (combining multiple UM policies). Lupe’s insurance knowledge is critical for maximizing UM/UIM recovery.

39. How do you calculate pain and suffering for my Austin car accident?

Most commonly using the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain & suffering. Multiplier depends on: injury severity, permanency, impact on life, clear liability. Example: $100,000 medical × 4 multiplier = $400,000 pain & suffering. Lupe calculated these for years—he knows how to justify higher multipliers.

40. What if I was hit by a government vehicle (city bus, police car, etc.) in Austin?

Government claims have special rules. You must file notice within 6 months (much shorter than 2-year statute of limitations). Sovereign immunity protects government entities. Damage caps may apply. These cases are complex—you need an experienced Austin attorney. Ralph’s 25+ years includes government litigation. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately—6-month deadline is strict.

41. What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run) in Austin?

File a police report immediately (hit and run is a criminal offense). Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies. Surveillance footage is CRITICAL—gas stations, businesses, Ring doorbells, traffic cameras. Most footage is deleted 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately. Texas allows UM stacking. We’ve recovered substantial settlements in Austin hit and run cases through UM claims.

42. What if I’m an undocumented immigrant—can I still file a claim after an Austin car accident?

YES. Immigration status does NOT affect your right to compensation for injuries. You’re entitled to full recovery regardless of immigration status. Your case is confidential. We’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe is fluent in Spanish. Call 1-888-ATTY-911—we protect your rights and your privacy.

43. What if the accident happened in a parking lot in Austin?

Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies love to argue “parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault” (LIE). We prove fault through: surveillance video, witness statements, damage analysis, traffic patterns. Texas comparative negligence rules apply. We’ve won many Austin parking lot cases with clear liability findings.

44. What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?

You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them (friend, family member, Uber driver). You’re an innocent victim. Driver’s insurance covers passengers. No comparative fault issues (you weren’t driving). These cases often settle quickly because liability is clear. We handle the difficult conversation so you don’t have to.

45. What if the other driver died in the Austin accident?

You can still pursue a claim against the deceased driver’s estate and insurance. Death doesn’t eliminate liability. Insurance policy still applies. Estate may have assets. Wrongful death laws protect both sides. These cases are emotionally complex but legally straightforward. We handle with sensitivity while protecting your rights.
