Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas
FVF Law is proud to specialize in many types of personal injury cases. Our experience and knowledge in these areas set us apart.
Car Accidents
Downtown Austin has become congested over the years. Congestion brings cars and more car accidents. Unfortunately, car accidents are one of the main causes of injuries in Downtown Austin. We can help you navigate the insurance process so that you don’t have to.
At FVF Law, our experienced Austin car accident attorneys understand the challenges you’re facing after a car accident in Downtown Austin. We’re here to help you navigate the insurance process and fight for the compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Construction Accidents
Construction accidents can result in catastrophic injuries and even death. Whether you were injured on-site, or in a construction-related incident, we can negotiate with corporations and their insurance companies, or file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf.
Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle accidents happen in urban areas like Downtown Austin. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are often blamed for their injuries. We protect our clients from unwarranted blame and can find out who caused the crash.
Slip & Fall
A slip and fall is a type of premise liability case. Property owners must make sure that their property is safe for visitors and guests. If you get hurt because of something dangerous on another person’s (or business’s) property, you may be entitled to damages.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are devastating, particularly when they collide with a smaller vehicle. Sometimes these are merely accidents, but other times drowsy driving, poor maintenance, and other forms of negligence contributed to the crash. We will thoroughly investigate the cause of the truck crash and find out who is accountable.
Wrongful Death
There’s no doubt that wrongful death cases are tragic. Unfairly losing a loved one can leave you emotionally damaged and financially lost. We provide compassionate representation to our wrongful death families so that we can resolve their cases without causing further trauma.
Damages Available in Downtown Austin Personal Injury Cases
After a Downtown Austin personal injury case, several types of damages are available. The damages that you ask for and receive will depend on how you have been specifically affected by the injury or accident. This will vary from person to person.
Some common examples of damages include:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Emotional anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Physical damage
You should keep track of receipts, estimates, bills, and other evidence of your monetary damages. You may also consider keeping a journal of the emotional effect of the injury or accident on your day-to-day life. You are entitled to money for both.
What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Travis County?
Personal injury lawyers in Travis County charge a contingency fee. The fee is usually 33% – 40% of the total damages. In a contingency fee arrangement, the lawyer doesn’t get paid anything until the case is over. Even then, they only take a fee if the client wins money.
If they lose the case, they don’t get paid anything. Plus, clients don’t need to make any payments to their lawyer throughout the case. Instead, the full payment is taken from the settlement or award before the remainder is distributed to the client.
Statute of Limitations in Texas Personal Injury Cases
In Texas, the statute of limitations in personal injury cases is two years. It is also two years in wrongful death cases. This means that you have two years from the date of the accident (or discovering the injury) to file a lawsuit. Before then, you’ll need to collect evidence and go through the insurance claim process if it applies in your case.
A personal injury lawyer will keep track of this deadline for you. It’s important because if you miss the deadline, you lose your chance to file a lawsuit and recover money. Two years may seem like a long time, but it goes by quickly. You should speak with a lawyer well before the deadline to avoid missing it.
