We Go Over the Details of Your Accident

Personal injury law in Texas can be complex—which is why we take the opportunity to review records, gather evidence, and assess every aspect of your accident case.

We Fight for Your Compensation

We take on the insurance companies ourselves, so you don’t have to. You pay us nothing if you lose, and we never collect a fee higher than the sum of your cut on a settlement. That’s our promise to you.

Don’t Let the Insurance Company
Pay You Less than You Deserve

When someone else causes your injuries in an accident, the insurance company is generally the one that pays out the balance of your damages in a personal injury settlement.

Because of this role, the insurance company tries to act like it’s on your side. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Insurance companies make money by systematically devaluing your accident claim in order to pay you the least amount of compensation allowable for your injuries, damages, and losses.

In this battle of biblical proportions, you’re David and the insurance company is Goliath. And the consequences of defeat include losing your chance to get fairly compensated—forever.

At Slingshot Law, however, our experience and resources are the only stones you need in order to overcome the odds and recover the personal injury settlement that will change your life.

Have you been hurt in an accident? You need an attorney who can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Some of the forms of damages that we could win for you include compensation for:

Lost income

Loss of future earning potential

Ambulance fees

Emergency room charges

Hospital and doctors’ bills

Prescription drug costs

Physical therapy expenses

Mental or emotional counseling

Pain and suffering

Emotional turmoil

Loss of enjoyment of life

And more

It’s impossible to know if an early offer to settle from the insurance company is actually fair without first giving an experienced attorney the chance to review your claim for free. Don’t make the mistake of believing that you can’t get more—we can make that determination for you.

Austin Personal Injury FAQ

What’s the deadline for filing a personal injury claim?

Accident victims and the families of wrongful death victims in Austin are bound by the state of Texas statute of limitations for personal injury action. Generally, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim. It’s never too early to get started. Sadly, for many accident victims who wait to file their claims, it can be too late. Speaking to a personal injury lawyer in Austin as soon as you’re aware of your damages is the best way to guarantee your claim will be heard.

What other factors can impact my settlement?

Texas observes modified comparative negligence, a fact that can see your damages decreased by the proportion of the accident for which you are deemed responsible. If your car accident damages are valued at $1 million but a judge finds you 25 percent responsible for the outcome, your damages could be limited to $750,000. For this reason, establishing the fault clearly with the responsible party is crucial.

How much is my settlement worth?

It depends on the claim in question. Most civil lawsuits in Texas are uncapped; for example, there’s no limit to the amount of money you can collect in a car accident settlement in Austin. For other types of claims, such as medical malpractice claims or lawsuits against the government or other public entities, damages caps may apply.

Is Texas a fault state?

Texas is a fault state, meaning car accident victims have the option of filing a claim directly with the at-fault party’s insurance company. In no-fault states, victims must initiate their claims with their own insurer.

Do I have to go to court?

Going to court can be an expensive and emotionally draining proposition. Most personal injury claims, however, are resolved out of court. Although it may be preferable to accept a settlement offer over fighting a protracted court battle, you will still need to negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If this sounds daunting, a top-rated personal injury attorney in Austin can help increase your odds of success.
