AUSTIN CAR ACCIDENT? NOW WHAT?

Watch this short video for tips on what to do next.

TYPES OF AUSTIN CAR ACCIDENTS

Car accidents come in all varieties. Which one fits your case?

TRUCKING COLLISIONS

18 Wheelers Cause Serious Injuries

Trucking companies and their insurance providers typically have damage control personnel who are trained to respond to accidents. In many cases an insurance adjuster will ask that you give a recorded statement about the accident and your injuries. In too many cases, truck accident victims unintentionally hurt their claims by making assumptions or incorrect statements about how the accident occurred, or even by downplaying their injuries.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Collisions With Motorcycles

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries to the riders, and representing these claims requires extensive knowledge of the unique concerns that motorcycle riders face on a daily basis. Blind spots, vehicle speeds, and road rage can all affect motorcyclists more than they affect the average driver. Whether you were the rider, or the driver in a bike-on-car collision, our qualified attorneys are here to help lead you down the road to recovery.

BICYCLE ACCIDENTS

Injured While Riding A Bike?

Much like motorcycle riders, bicyclists are largely unprotected from the roadways and from passenger and commercial vehicles. While not all accidents involving bicycles are the fault of a motorist, a large percentage are, and those types of accidents often result in significant injuries, as well as financial and emotional damages. In residential areas, motorists account for about half of all bicycle accidents involving children under the age of 16.

DRUNK DRIVER ACCIDENTS

Drunk Driving Kills

The severe, debilitating, and permanent injuries that arise from alcohol related auto and truck accidents result in significant losses to the individuals involved and their families. Determining the appropriate value of a personal injury claim from an auto accident involving a drunk driver is complicated. Our car accident lawyers will deal with the insurance companies or litigators on your behalf if they are unwilling to settle your claim for a fair value.

AUTOMOBILE DEFECTS

Poor Quality Control Can Injure People

Automobile defect cases are brought under the rules and principles of product liability law. In these and other car accident cases, looking to less obvious accident causes such as a malfunctioning seat belt or child safety seat, air bag, fuel tank, or other auto component requires car accident lawyers with the knowledge to understand these causes and a law firm with the resources to fight wealthy corporate defendants and teams of aggressive defense attorneys.

UNINSURED MOTORIST ACCIDENTS

Don't Foot The Bill For Them

Uninsured and underinsured motorist accident cases often involve complex issues regarding coverage and obtaining the most compensation possible from all available policies. Only car accident lawyers who have successfully handled numerous uninsured and underinsured claims can get you the compensation you may otherwise not recover if represented by an inexperienced lawyer.

"Car accident claims are stressful and confusing. Our car accident lawyers will help you get back to your daily life."

Great Lawyer, professional and very helpful. He knows what is he doing. All the people that work there, they keep you updated. They always call you and check on the status of you case. I highly recommend him.

NAWAL F.

I was a victim in a drunk driving accident. After rear-ending me, the drunk driver left the scene. I did not have insurance and did not know how I was going to pay my medical bills. I contacted Steven C. Lee & Associates and they were immediately able to help. They tracked down the drunk driver and made him pay for what he did. I hope I won’t need a personal injury lawyer again, but if I do I won’t hesitate to use these guys.

FRANK R.

Mr Lee was my attorney in a personal injury lawsuit. He, Shawn Martin, and the rest of his staff did a GREAT job representing me. They worked hard, gathered evidence over the course of nearly two years, and made sure my rights were respected and that I was compensated for my injuries, surgery, and the on-going issues that have arisen afterward. He was zealous in his pursuit of my case, and I am grateful that Austin Lawyer Referral Service gave me his name and number.

LESLIE T.

I was riding my bike at night when a drunk driver hit me with his car. Even though he was driving without his headlights on and was arrested for a DUI, he claimed that he wasn't drunk and tried to avoid having a breathalyzer. The injuries I suffered put me out of work, but I hired Steven C. Lee as my bike accident lawyer and he was able to not only get my medical bills paid for, but he also got me payment for lost wages and the stress of not being able to ride my bike. I was very pleased with his representation, and have recommended Steven C. Lee to my friends.
