No Fee Unless We Win -- Austin Truck Accident Lawyer

We take every truck accident case on contingency. You pay zero out of pocket. Our fee comes only from the settlement: 33% if the case resolves before a lawsuit, 40% if a lawsuit must be filed. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.

What We Offer

  • Live truck accident attorney 24/7
  • Free case evaluation, any hour
  • No fee unless we win -- 33% / 40% contingency
  • ELD and black-box evidence preserved immediately
  • We come to you -- hospital or home

How the contingency fee works

33% of the gross recovery if the case settles before a lawsuit is filed. 40% if a lawsuit must be filed (because filing triggers significantly more attorney time, discovery, depositions, and expert witnesses). Litigation costs -- filing fees, engineers, accident reconstructionists, deposition transcripts -- are advanced by us and reimbursed from your recovery only.

What "no recovery, no fee" means for truck cases

Truck accident cases take longer and cost more to litigate than car accident cases. Engineering experts, ELD analysis, and federal regulatory experts are expensive. We advance all of those costs. If we do not win, we absorb them. You never pay for a case that did not succeed.

Why insurers settle higher when we file

Texas trucking carriers and their insurers know which law firms file lawsuits and which accept early lowball offers. We file. That fact alone moves the average settlement by six figures on a serious truck case.

Common Questions

How is a truck accident case different from a regular car accident case?
Truck accident cases involve federal regulations (FMCSA), multiple potentially liable parties (driver, carrier, freight broker, shipper, maintenance contractor, truck manufacturer), higher insurance policy limits ($750K minimum federally, often $1M-$5M), specialized evidence (ELD logs, black-box data, bills of lading, maintenance records, drug test results), and trucking companies that immediately deploy defense teams. You need a lawyer who specifically knows trucking law.
What evidence must be preserved immediately after a truck crash?
Time-critical evidence: (1) ELD data showing driver hours -- carriers only keep it 6 months. (2) Black-box / ECM data showing speed and braking at impact. (3) Dashcam and surveillance footage from nearby businesses -- overwritten in 30-90 days. (4) The truck itself before repairs. (5) Drug and alcohol test results. We issue a litigation hold the same day you call so the carrier cannot destroy anything.
Who is liable in a truck accident -- the driver or the trucking company?
Often both, plus additional parties. The driver is liable for negligent operation. The carrier is liable under respondeat superior for employee drivers, and often for negligent hiring/training/supervision even for contractors. The freight broker may share liability. The shipper is liable if cargo was improperly loaded. A truck part manufacturer may share liability if a defect contributed. We sue every party with exposure.
How much is my Austin truck accident case worth?
Truck accident settlements are typically much larger than car accident cases because injuries are more severe, policy limits are higher ($750K federal minimum up to $5M+), federal regulation violations create punitive damage exposure, and there are multiple liable parties. Non-catastrophic: $50,000-$500,000. Spinal, TBI, or catastrophic: $500,000-$5M+. Wrongful death: varies. Free case evaluation gives you a realistic range.
