Driving in Austin is a difficult and perilous task. Travis County had over 15,000 reported automobile accidents in 2009 with more than 4000 serious injuries and almost 100 fatalities. That works out to about 12 serious injuries every day and almost two fatalities a week just in Travis County. Rare is the person that has not waited in traffic on I-35 or Mopac only to witness police and EMS at a troubling scene down the road. Recent increases in cell phone usage have only increased the number of accidents that occur on a daily basis. But no matter how many people die, careless motorists refuse to stop talking and texting as they drive the streets and highways of Austin. If you have been injured in an automobile accident, an experienced attorney from Central Texas can help you hold the responsible party accountable and can help you recover the compensation you are entitled to.

Austin Car Accident Attorneys Can Help

Not all personal injury lawyers are created equal. In fact, there are some personal injury lawyers that have never even handled a serious car injury accident case. Experienced car accident attorneys know how to handle the myriad of parties that get involved when there is a car accident: the driver, the owner of the vehicle, insurance companies, adjustors, corporations, police, investigators, just to name a few.

An experienced Austin car accident attorney can represent your interests, deal with third parties like insurance companies and the other side’s attorney, thereby acting as a buffer between you and those who would like to intimidate you or force you to settle for an inadequate amount. If needed, the attorney can file a claim on your behalf.

Types of Injuries

Austin car accident lawyers have experience with a wide variety of injuries and accidents. Serious accidents often involve disfigurement, scarring, and other injuries like mental anguish and pain and suffering. Proving mental anguish and pain requires an attorney experienced in car injuries. In addition, protecting your rights and standing up for yourself in the face of an insurance company takes a lawyer who will not be intimidated.

Accidents occur in many ways including, but not limited to, rear end accidents, side swipe accidents (when the car driver switches lanes and does not check out his blind spot well), cars running lights and stop signs causing intersection collisions, speeding, failing to yield the right-of-way, fatigue and, in some circumstances, when alcohol and/or drugs have been consumed by a driver.

Contact an Austin attorney if any of the following have happened to you:

  • Broken Bones
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Chronic Pain
  • Mental Anguish/recurring nightmares
  • Whiplash
  • Traumatic Head Injuries (TBI)
  • Death of a Family Member
  • Scarring/Disfigurement
  • Back Pain
  • Fatality in Family
  • Neck Injuries/Strain

What can an Austin car accident do for you?

An Austin attorney is uniquely qualified to help you win your case and get on the road to recovery. An experienced attorney from the Capital Area understands the nature of accidents here, can conduct the investigation necessary to help you be successful in your case, and can help you get the health care needed to recover from your injuries. Because an attorney from Austin understands that when an accident occurred on South Lamar the cowboy behind the wheel might have been tipping longnecks at the Broken Spoke moments before that attorney is able to get all the information necessary to win your case. Regardless of whether the accident occurred on Guadalupe, or Bastrop, Highway, an experienced attorney will understand the details that make driving challenging in that part of town. Additionally, a skilled Austin attorney will be familiar with how to use experts and witnesses to prove your case to other Austinites in the courtroom.

A Central Texas lawyer can also help you get the health care necessary for you to make a recovery from your injury. We have all heard horror stories about insurance companies denying claims. It is just a fact of business that companies hold their first responsibility to their shareholders. That means that injured victims wait in line behind stock holders when it comes to pay outs. Denials are often par for the course, or insurance companies point fingers and other insurance companies to try to share the costs. An experienced attorney will fight the insurance company for you, so you can get on with recovery and rest assured that you will get the benefits you are entitled to.

Responsible Driving and Teenage Driving

Car crashes/Automobile accidents are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. According to the Center for Disease Control, in 2009, eight teenagers ages 16 to 19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries.

Do not let your child travel the roads unprepared. Drivers’ education and defensive driving reduces traffic accidents. Arm your child with the best possible skills to avoid becoming a statistic. Whether your teen attends Stephen F. Austin High School or St. Mary’s drivers’ education can help save their lives.
