Are You Within the Time Frame to File?
The statute of limitations refers to the time limit in which you’re legally allowed to file a car accident injury claim. In Texas, you have two years from the time the accident occurred to file a lawsuit against the person who caused the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may not be able to collect any compensation. However, there can be exceptions to this law. Every situation is unique and warrants a discussion with an experienced attorney who can help you ensure you don’t miss important deadlines.
Were You Injured in a Car Accident?
We’re on top of it! Our team at Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC will fight for the compensation you deserve for your injuries and lost wages.
Understanding Compensation
Injuries from car accidents can lead to mounting medical bills, lost wages, and damage to your vehicle. If you were injured, you may be entitled to compensation for all the expenses from your injuries, such as:
- Medical bills, including hospitalization, medication, and physical therapy, and more
- Lost wages while you recover
- Pain and suffering or emotional distress
- Future wages if your injury resulted in short- or long-term disability
Modified Comparative Negligence in Texas
Texas has a modified comparative negligence law, which can limit your ability to recover losses. The court may assign a percentage of fault to both parties, and your compensation can be reduced by the percentage you are found to be at fault. If your percentage of fault meets or exceeds 51%, you won’t be entitled to compensation. That’s why it’s important to speak with one of our experienced Austin car accident lawyers to help ensure you are able to seek the full amount of compensation you deserve.

Car accident injury cases have many different circumstances, making it difficult to secure the compensation you may deserve. Even with minor injuries, the insurance company may play hardball to get you to take a lower settlement than you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if My Injuries Are Minor?
Even though minor injuries may not seem bad at first, these injuries could become more severe as time goes on. It’s important to go to the hospital and get evaluated to tie your injuries and losses to the accident so you and your Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC attorney can seek the full amount of compensation you’re owed.
Should I Speak With the Insurance Company?
Insurance companies will try to offer a low settlement or get you to say something that admits fault to eliminate their responsibility. If the insurance company calls, be sure to tell them to speak with your Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC lawyer.
Can I Take on My Case Alone?
While there’s no law against handling your car accident injury claim yourself, you will be at a serious disadvantage and may miss out on the compensation you deserve. Our lawyers know the Texas laws surrounding car accidents inside and out and can seek the compensation you didn’t know you were entitled to while you focus on recovering.
How Much Money Will I Get?
Your car accident injury settlement is influenced by many things, including your losses and the severity of your injuries. All of these will be used to build your case and determine the compensation you should receive. To find out what your case may be worth, get your free case review today.
What if My Case Goes to Trial?
Insurance companies prefer to settle out of court and avoid making an appearance before a jury, so it’s more likely that you will get a settlement offer. However, if your case goes to court, our experienced lawyers can represent you and advocate for your rights on your behalf.

We are proud to protect the rights of our neighbors injured in car accidents in Austin, Waco, and throughout Central Texas, including Bastrop, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, and more. If you were injured in a car accident anywhere in Central Texas, we’re here for you.
What Does Negligence Mean?
Negligence is a term that means someone else acted irresponsibly and caused an accident that resulted in someone else’s injury. It’s the core of almost every personal injury case in Texas because it determines who is at fault and who is eligible for compensation.
To seek a settlement, you need to prove someone else’s negligence with three factors. First, you need to show that the other person acted in an unreasonably reckless or careless way. Second, you need to show that their actions caused the accident. Finally, you need to show that the accident caused your injury.
Our team at Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC knows what evidence is needed to prove negligence in your case. We’re on top of it!
What Is the Statute of Limitations in Texas?
A statute of limitations is a period of time during which you have to file your accident injury lawsuit. If you fail to file your lawsuit during that window, you can lose your right to seek compensation. In Texas, this window is 2 years from the date of the accident. Though, there are a few exceptions to this rule, so the deadline may change depending on the details of your case. That’s another reason why it’s important to have an experienced Austin, TX, car accident lawyer from our Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC team in your corner. We’re on top of it!
What Will a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
Trustworthy car accident attorneys should have no upfront fees, meaning you will only pay if they win your case. If a lawyer asks you for an upfront payment, it is a red flag.
Our Austin, TX, car accident lawyers at Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC won’t cost you anything upfront. There’s no charge at all for your case review, and we work on contingency. That means that if we don’t win your case, you won’t have to pay us a dime.
What Should I Do After an Accident?
After an accident, the first thing you should do is check yourself for injuries. If you can, move the cars off the road. Call first responders to have everyone looked at by a medical professional and to file a police report. Exchange information with the other driver and get contact information for any witnesses. Report the accident to your insurance company, but make sure to just stick to the facts. Finally, call for help from a car accident attorney at Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC. We’re on top of it!
Why Do I Need a Police Report?
A police report is very useful in remembering the details of your story if you are seeking compensation. You will probably need to recall what happened quite a few times, and having that report gives you a solid place to look to make sure you don’t forget anything. Forgetting important details could end up limiting the settlement you receive, so it is important to have all of the details from the scene of the accident.
What Is Comparative Fault?
Texas uses a concept called “modified comparative negligence” in car accidents. That means that if you’re found to share any blame for the accident, your compensation can be reduced by that percentage. So, if your accident is worth $100,000 but you are determined to be 30% at fault, you are only eligible to receive $70,000. Beyond that, if you are more than 50% at fault, you won’t qualify for any settlement.
That’s another reason to have an experienced car accident lawyer in your corner. Our attorneys at Lorenz & Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC will build your strongest case possible and ensure that the insurance companies don’t take advantage of you by placing more fault than you deserve
