Injured in Austin, Texas?
Here’s What to Do.
After a major accident, it’s important that you act quickly to preserve evidence and assert your rights. The following are actions you should take as soon as possible.
- Seek medical care. If you have not done so already, it’s imperative that you obtain appropriate medical care for your injuries as soon as possible. Many serious injuries do not exhibit symptoms immediately following an accident. Meanwhile, seeing a doctor quickly sets you on the road to recovery and begins the process of building your case.
- Cooperate with police and other authorities. If you have been in a major automobile accident, police reports will provide vital evidence in your case, such as information about who was involved in the crash.
- Begin collecting evidence. The names and contact details for the parties involved in your case including witnesses, photos documenting the crash scene, and records of any communication with insurance companies will all form the basis for your case.
- Contact an attorney. Legal representatives can help you understand exactly what you need to do and how to do it so you can build the strongest case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
One of the most common questions we hear is, “Should I talk to a lawyer for my car accident?” In most cases, the answer is an unequivocal yes. After you suffer an injury, you may find yourself pitted against many different parties, most of them operating against your best interests. From insurance companies to commercial vehicle carriers, the goal of most defendants is to settle cases as quickly — and cheaply — as possible, at your expense.
As capable as you may be, when an accident occurs, it’s best to seek legal representation. More specifically, there are several reasons to talk to an attorney with your personal injury case.
- You will be much more likely to build the best case and receive maximum compensation for your damages by fully understanding your rights and options.
- A trustworthy law team will help you understand how to document case details and obtain information that will help your case.
- Experienced attorneys know the law and understand the types of damages you can claim. Often, accident victims have expenses well beyond their medical bills.
- Insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind — although they may say they do. Even your own insurance carrier will try to pay you as little as possible.
- Our team at FVF can provide you with valuable resources, such as the names of trusted medical professionals and alternative payment options for medical bills.
- Suffering an injury is traumatic enough on its own. A good legal team will provide you with vital advice and support just when you need it most, so you can make informed decisions.
- Trying to research the law and document your case on your own will be difficult when you’re seriously injured. Hiring an attorney allows you to focus on what matters most: your health and recovery.

Can I Represent Myself in a Personal Injury Case?
Technically, yes, although experts strongly advise against it. Even a simple case may become complicated by the defendants’ interests. Insurance companies may dispute accident injury claims. Negligent parties may present inaccurate evidence or omit certain facts. Sometimes, the parties responsible simply do not want to meet their obligations.
We’ve also seen cases where institutional negligence and illegal corporate policies directly contributed to an injury. When that happens, trusting your case to an experienced lawyer ensures that negligent parties are held accountable, protecting the public against future accidents at the hands of their misconduct.
Additionally, when you hire a lawyer, you increase your chances of a strong recovery — one that will adequately cover your past and future expenses and other losses. Lawyers understand how to document evidence and resolve your case in a way that protects your interests.
Lastly, if you choose to hire a reputable law firm like FVF, you’ll receive critical support and advice for your case. Recovering from an accident is often a challenging ordeal. The best accident lawyers serve as advocates for accident victims, helping them to obtain suitable medical care, pay for medical bills, and lead them down the road to recovery.

Damages in Personal Injury Cases Can Be Extreme.
There’s a lot at stake in a personal injury suit. Expenses can mount up, especially if you or a loved one has been seriously injured. In some cases, the lifetime costs of a catastrophic injury can total millions of dollars. If your lawyer can prove that another party’s negligence caused or contributed to your injury, you may receive compensation for the following:
- Medical bills
- Costs associated with physical impairment, such as help hired to assist with household chores
- Emotional trauma and mental health care expenses
- Loss of past or future earnings
- Loss of future inheritance
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
Learn About The Legal Team at Fogelman & Von Flatern
Suffering a personal injury can be extremely disruptive. You are immediately confronted with a series of choices you often feel forced to make with little or no guidance. Seeking help or information from the internet can lead you further down a rabbit hole, often leading to more confusion rather than assistance. That’s because every personal injury is different, and each case has different factors and variables that should be considered before good advice can be given.
Our mission is simple: to offer transparency, education, and guidance to personal injury victims in Texas. We believe that people who are impacted by a personal injury or wrongful death should have immediate, honest and compassionate access to legal advice in order to accomplish three main goals:
- Ensure you understand all of your options by educating you about your rights and responsibilities;
- Ensure you are not taken advantage of by others, including insurance companies and medical providers;
- Help you make good decisions and put your life back together while building the strongest case possible.
