Head-On Collision Lawyer in Austin, TX
Head-on crashes are among the deadliest. Wrong-way driver on 290 or 71? Drunk driver crossed the center line? We handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases with the seriousness they deserve.
What we do on a head-on collision case
When you call us right after a head-on collision in Austin, the first thing we do is make sure you are safe and that the right reports are being filed at the scene. We walk you through exactly what to tell the responding APD officer, what NOT to say to the other driver's insurance, and what to photograph before the cars are towed.
Once your case is open, we pull the police report, request any nearby traffic-camera footage before it is overwritten, locate independent witnesses, and obtain your medical records. We deal directly with every insurance adjuster on every policy involved — the at-fault driver's liability carrier, your own UM/UIM coverage, and any commercial policy that applies (rideshare, employer vehicle, trucking, bar overservice).
You pay us nothing up front and nothing along the way. We work on a standard Texas personal-injury contingency: no fee unless we recover money for you. If we do not win, you do not pay. Initial case review is always free, day or night.

“I was rear-ended on I-35 at 11pm and didn't know what to do. I called and someone picked up immediately. Walked me through what to say to the police, what to photograph. Settled my case for 6x what the insurance first offered. Could not recommend more.”

“Drunk driver totaled my truck on South Lamar. The other guy had minimum insurance, but they used my UM coverage and went after the bar that overserved him. I had no idea that was even possible.”

Common questions
How much does it cost to hire an Austin car accident lawyer?+
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay no fee unless and until we win your case. Consultations are completely free, and there's no obligation to hire us after we review your case.
What should I do right after a car accident in Austin?+
Call 911 if anyone is injured. Take photos of all vehicles, the scene, and any visible injuries. Get the other driver's insurance and license info. Get contact info from any witnesses. See a doctor even if you feel fine — adrenaline masks injuries. Then call us at (512) 877-1389 before talking to any insurance company.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?+
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 16.003, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year limit from the date of death. Waiting risks losing your right to compensation entirely.
Are you really available 24/7?+
Yes. We answer the phone day, night, weekends, and holidays. Most crashes happen outside of business hours. Call us right from the crash scene at (512) 877-1389 — we'll walk you through exactly what to do.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?+
About 1 in 7 Texas drivers is uninsured. Your own auto policy likely has Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage — this steps in when the at-fault driver can't pay. We're experienced in UM/UIM claims and routinely fight your own insurer when they try to lowball you.
Other practice areas
Rear-End Collision
Hit from behind on I-35, MoPac, or anywhere in Austin? Rear-end crashes cause whiplash, herniated discs, and concussions. We pursue the at-fault driver's insurance for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
T-Bone / Intersection Crash
Someone ran a red light at Lamar and 6th, or blew through a stop sign in East Austin? Side-impact T-bone crashes cause severe injuries. We obtain traffic camera footage and witness statements before they disappear.
Rollover Accident
Rollover crashes on rural roads outside Austin often involve defective tires or vehicle design defects. We bring in accident reconstruction experts to identify every responsible party.
Hit and Run
The other driver fled the scene? You're not out of options. Your uninsured motorist coverage may apply, and we work with APD to locate the responsible party.
Drunk Driver Accident
Hit by an impaired driver on 6th Street, Rainey, or anywhere in Travis County? Texas allows punitive damages against drunk drivers and dram shop claims against bars that overserved them.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist
About 1 in 7 Texas drivers has no insurance. If you were hit by one, your own UM/UIM coverage steps in. We fight your own insurance company when they try to underpay.
