A local attorney brings familiarity with Travis County courts, judges, and jury tendencies; established relationships with expert witnesses, doctors, and investigators; quicker communication and face-to-face meetings; and knowledge of Texas-specific laws and insurance practices.
-
In most cases, Texas law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Exceptions exist: for minors, the clock may be paused until age 18; if an injury wasn't immediately apparent, the clock may start when it's discovered; and claims against government entities (e.g., the City of Austin or TxDOT) have much shorter deadlines—sometimes just 6 months to file a notice of claim.
-
Get immediate medical treatment, document everything (photos, records, a daily journal of your struggles), identify witnesses, avoid speaking with insurance companies, and call an attorney as soon as possible so we can begin investigating and preserving evidence.
