Frequently Asked Questions

Truck Accident Lawyer in Austin

Do I have a case?

If you have been injured in a truck accident, you may have the right to claim compensation for your injuries and financial losses. An Austin truck accident attorney can review the specifics of your case and let you know your legal options. If the other driver or another party is to blame for the accident, you have the right to pursue damages. Even if you are partially at fault, you may still have this option, so it is always best to consult with a lawyer to ensure you know your rights.

Can’t I just settle with the insurance company without a lawyer?

Following an accident, an insurance company may contact you to discuss your case and may offer you a settlement. Although it may be tempting to accept this and conclude the matter, you would more than likely be shortchanging yourself. Insurance companies operate with their own bottom line in mind and without sympathy for your personal situation. They employ specific tactics to get away with paying as little as possible. Involving an attorney ensures you have someone fighting for your rights and greatly increases your chances of a much more fitting amount of compensation.

Is legal representation expensive?

We at Heselmeyer, Zinda & Davis, we do not charge you a cent unless we achieve a successful outcome for your case. If we do recover compensation, the fees involved would be well worth it. The Insurance Research Council has found that damages received are typically 3.5 times higher when an individual is represented by an attorney.
