There are many different situations and circumstances that can lead up to car accidents. That is why it is important you consult with an Austin personal injury attorney at our firm as soon as possible, if you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident. Any delay in contacting a knowledgeable attorney could seriously impact your case. It is key for us to be able to determine liability in a personal injury claim. In order to do that, we need to gather as much evidence as possible, interview witnesses, analyze all accident, police and medical reports, and evaluate the best course of action to pursue.

At Barry & Loewy LLP, our attorneys are not only experienced, we also have a record of success when it comes to representing people who have been injured or killed in car accidents. Much of our success comes from our commitment to our clients and to helping them during their time of need.

We know that victims of car accidents may not only be experiencing physical pain and injury, but emotional and financial pain as well.

Our overall goal is to provide you with the aggressive representation you deserve, in order to help you obtain just compensation and be able to move on with your life.

Being involved in a car accident is an emotionally and physically-trying experience. Depending on the circumstances and the vehicles involved, car accidents can cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities. If you have been injured in a car accident, due to no fault of your own, one of the first things you need to do is contact an attorney at our firm. We will be able to answer all your questions and advise you on what to do next.

It is important to note, that before you sign any documents, agree to any settlements, or make any affirmations or statements as to who was at fault, you need to consult with one of our attorneys. Insurance companies have been known to try and coerce victims into settling for less than they rightfully deserve or in some cases, attempt to shift blame and liability away from the responsible parties.

As the victim of a car accident, you have rights. Our firm is dedicated to helping you protect those rights. While there is no guarantee on the outcome of your case, our firm has been able to recover tens of millions of dollars on behalf of our clients. We settled one car accident case for $180,000 on behalf of a client who sustained a serious back injury during a read-end collision. On another car accident case, we settled for $470,000 on behalf of a teenager, who was a passenger in a vehicle, when the driver (who had been drinking) crashed into a barricade.
