If you’ve been hurt in an accident in Austin, the first few days after your injury are some of the hardest you’ll face.
Medical bills start arriving before you’ve even left the hospital.
Your employer wants to know when you’re coming back, but you can’t predict how long recovery will take.
The insurance company calls with what sounds like a reasonable offer, but it barely covers a fraction of what you’ve already spent on medical care.
Meanwhile, you’re dealing with pain, missed work, and the financial stress of wondering how you’re going to pay for everything.
This is exactly when mistakes happen.
Accident victims who try to handle personal injury claims on their own often settle for far less than their injury case is worth.
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize what they pay out, and they count on unrepresented claimants not knowing what their injury claim is really worth.
Without a skilled lawyer reviewing your medical records, calculating your lost wages and future medical expenses, and building a case that accounts for the full impact of your injuries, you risk leaving money on the table that you’ll need for years to come.
Catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage don’t just affect you right now.
They change the entire course of your life, and the compensation you accept today needs to reflect that.
A personal injury lawsuit filed without proper evidence preservation or legal strategy can collapse before it ever reaches a negotiation table.
Insurance companies know this, and they use delay, denial, and lowball offers to pressure you into accepting less than you deserve.
That’s why hiring an experienced personal injury attorney in Austin is the difference between getting fair compensation and spending years paying off someone else’s mistake.
How Shamieh Law Can Help You Fight Your Personal Injury Case in Austin
Shamieh Law handles a wide range of personal injury cases across Austin and Travis County.
Our personal injury attorneys bring aggressive representation to every case, and we have experience representing clients through every stage of the legal process, from the initial investigation through trial if necessary.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are the leading source of personal injury cases in Austin, with the city recording 91 fatal crashes and over 10,000 total crashes in 2024 according to TxDOT crash data.
Shamieh Law investigates every car accident claim by gathering police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and medical records to build a case that holds the at fault party accountable.
Whether you were rear-ended on I-35 or hit by a distracted driver on Lamar Boulevard, we fight to recover fair compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and chronic pain.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents in Austin often involve 18-wheelers traveling I-35 and US-183, and the resulting injuries are frequently catastrophic.
Shamieh Law investigates trucking company records, driver logs, and FMCSA compliance to identify every responsible party.
When a carrier pushes a driver past hours-of-service limits, we hold them accountable.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents result in some of the most severe injuries on Austin’s roads, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and road rash requiring extensive medical treatment.
Shamieh Law fights the bias motorcyclists face from insurance companies and works to prove that the other driver’s negligence caused the crash.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Austin’s rapid growth has made roads more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, particularly along high-injury corridors like Congress Avenue, Lamar Boulevard, and the I-35 frontage roads.
Shamieh Law represents bicycle accident and pedestrian accident victims and works to recover compensation from negligent or distracted drivers who fail to share the road safely.
Rideshare Accidents
Accidents involving Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare vehicles in Austin create complicated liability questions because multiple insurance policies may apply.
Shamieh Law sorts through the rideshare company’s coverage, the driver’s personal policy, and third-party liability to identify every source of compensation for your injuries.
DUI/DWI Victim Accidents
Being hit by a drunk driver is devastating, and these auto accidents often involve severe or life altering injuries.
Shamieh Law pursues both the at fault party and, where applicable, the establishment that overserved the intoxicated driver under Texas dram shop liability laws.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run accident victims in Austin may still have options for compensation even when the responsible party flees.
Shamieh Law helps clients file uninsured motorist claims and works with law enforcement to identify the at fault party.
Premises Liability and Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners in Austin have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors.
When a slip and fall accident or other premises liability incident causes injuries because a property owner failed to fix a known hazard, Shamieh Law investigates conditions, maintenance records, and prior incident reports to hold them accountable.
Workplace and Construction Accidents
Austin’s construction boom means more workers face dangerous job sites every day.
Shamieh Law represents workers injured in construction accidents, industrial accidents, and other workplace incidents, pursuing claims against contractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners whose negligence caused the injury.
Wrongful Death
When someone else’s negligence takes the life of a family member, the financial and emotional toll is overwhelming.
Shamieh Law represents families in wrongful death cases across Austin, pursuing compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and the long-term financial impact on surviving family members under the Texas wrongful death statute (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Chapter 71).
Catastrophic and Spinal Cord Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, severe burns, and amputations can result in millions of dollars in lifetime medical costs.
Shamieh Law works with medical experts, life care planners, and healthcare professionals to calculate the true long-term cost of catastrophic injuries and fights to make sure your settlement or verdict reflects the full scope of your losses.

Shamieh Law founder Ramez Shamieh and his team of Austin personal injury attorneys have built a firm that treats every client like family while fighting aggressively for results.

The firm holds an AV Preeminent peer review rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating available for legal ability and ethical standards in personal injury trial law.
When an insurance adjuster sees that rating attached to your case, they know Shamieh Law has the trial readiness to take the case to court if a fair settlement isn’t offered.
With over 40 years of combined experience and over $300 million recovered, Shamieh Law has secured multi million dollar verdicts and settlements across personal injury cases involving vehicle accidents, premises liability cases, construction accidents, and wrongful death.

Most personal injury firms in Austin won’t invest the time and resources it takes to fight an insurance company through trial.
Shamieh Law does.

Our Austin Office
If you can’t make the trip to our offices for your free consultation, our team will travel to you. Our primary goal is your comfort and well-being. We seek to provide the assistance you need during this stressful time, and we understand the importance of helping you focus on recovery.
You Pay Nothing Unless We Win Your Case
At Shamieh Law, we believe the cost of quality representation should not hold you back from pursuing the compensation you need and deserve. We understand you may have lost your main source of income or vehicle after an accident and could also be facing substantial medical bills.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything unless we win your case. In Austin, contingency fees are common agreements between the lawyer and the client in which the attorney does not collect a fee unless they win or settle the case.
The fee is typically calculated as a percentage of the compensation awarded. This arrangement allows clients with limited financial resources to access legal representation without paying out-of-pocket fees. So, you owe us nothing unless we win.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Austin
How much does an Austin personal injury lawyer cost?
Most personal injury lawyers in Austin, including Shamieh Law, work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless your case is won. This structure removes the financial risk of hiring a personal injury attorney and allows accident victims to get experienced legal representation regardless of their current financial situation. During your initial consultation, Shamieh Law will explain exactly how the fee arrangement works before you commit to anything.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
Texas law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. Missing this deadline almost always means losing your right to recover compensation entirely, regardless of how strong your case is. Contact an Austin personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident to preserve evidence and meet all filing deadlines.
What should I do right after an accident in Austin?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor, because some conditions don’t show symptoms for days or weeks after the accident. Document the scene with photos, collect contact information from witnesses, and file a police report. Avoid giving recorded statements to the other party’s insurance company before speaking with a personal injury lawyer, because anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim.
What if I'm partly at fault for my accident in Texas?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident. Your total recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies frequently try to shift blame onto accident victims to reduce payouts, which is why having an experienced personal injury attorney matters.
How long does a personal injury case take in Austin?
Simple personal injury cases in Austin may settle in a few months if liability is clear and the injuries are well-documented. Complex personal injury cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple responsible parties, or disputes over fault can take a year or more, especially if the case proceeds to trial. Shamieh Law moves quickly to preserve evidence and build your case from day one.
What types of compensation can I recover in a Texas personal injury case?
Texas personal injury law allows you to recover economic damages like medical bills, lost wages, and future medical expenses, as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life. In cases involving gross negligence, such as a crash caused by a drunk driver, you may also be entitled to punitive damages.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already made me an offer?
Insurance companies routinely make early settlement offers that don’t come close to covering the full cost of your injuries, especially future medical treatment and lost income. You should never accept the first settlement offer without having an experienced personal injury attorney evaluate what your case is actually worth. Once you accept a settlement, you give up your right to pursue additional compensation later, even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected.
Can I still file a personal injury claim if I don't have insurance or a driver's license?
Yes. Texas is an at-fault state, which means the person who caused the accident is responsible for your damages regardless of your insurance status. If you are undocumented or don’t have a driver’s license, you still have the legal right to file a personal injury claim in Texas and pursue compensation for your medical bills and lost wages. Shamieh Law serves Austin’s diverse community with bilingual services.
What happens if the at-fault driver doesn't have car insurance in Texas?
If the driver who caused your accident doesn’t carry insurance, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Many drivers carry UM/UIM coverage without knowing it. Shamieh Law reviews every available insurance policy connected to your case to identify all potential sources of recovery and make sure no coverage goes unused.
