Dang Law Group has represented injured people in Austin and Central Texas for years. We know the arguments insurers use to reduce or deny claims, and we work to respond to them with evidence, documentation, and clear communication.
After a crash, it is common to be unsure who pays for your medical care, how fault is decided, and how long a claim takes. Texas is an at-fault state, which means the driver responsible for the crash, and their insurer, are generally responsible for the losses. Call us to schedule a free consultation and talk through your situation.

MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
Cases We Handle
A car crash, most commonly known as a motor vehicle accident, involves incidents with motorized vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. These accidents can happen on roads, streets, highways, intersections, and other places where vehicles are in motion.
Fault matters in every Texas claim. Under the state’s proportionate responsibility rule, your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault, and you generally cannot recover if you are found more than 50 percent responsible.
Read more about how fault is determined in a traffic accident and how Texas comparative fault works.
Depending on the vehicle involved, a different page may address your situation more specifically. Learn more about our Austin car accident lawyers, Austin truck accident lawyers, Austin motorcycle accident lawyer, or Austin Uber & Lyft accident lawyer.
What Types of Accidents Are Most Common?
Motor vehicle accidents vary based on the causes and circumstances. The most common types include:
These occur when a vehicle hits the back of another, often due to tailgating, sudden stops, or inattention.
These involve a head-on impact between the fronts of two vehicles, typically resulting from entering opposing lanes, ignoring traffic signals, or speeding.
Also known as “T-Bone” accidents, these happen when one vehicle hits the side of another, usually at intersections due to failing to stop or running a red light.
This type of accident occurs when a vehicle flips onto its side or roof, caused by sudden maneuvers, loss of control, or high-impact collisions.
These accidents happen when a vehicle crashes into something that doesn’t move, like a pole, guardrail, tree, or building.
Most Common Causes of Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents can result from many factors, sometimes involving more than one cause.
Activities such as using mobile phones, eating, or adjusting vehicle controls can divert attention from the road.
Exceeding a safe speed can reduce reaction time and increase the severity of a crash.
Alcohol or drug use can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time.
Failing to obey stop signs, red lights, or other traffic controls can lead to collisions.
Rain, fog, and other weather conditions can make driving more difficult when drivers fail to adjust their speed or behavior.
Improper signaling, failing to check blind spots, or abrupt lane changes may cause a collision.
Fatigue can reduce alertness, reaction time, and decision-making.
Brake problems, worn tires, steering issues, or other mechanical defects may contribute to some crashes.
COMPENSATION
Compensation You May Be Able to Pursue
Depending on the facts of your case and the insurance available, compensation may include the following. You can also learn more about who pays your medical bills after a Texas car accident.
Medical expenses may include ambulance transportation, emergency treatment, surgery, medication, follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, and other treatment related to the injuries caused by the accident.
Repair or replacement of your vehicle may be part of the claim, along with related costs such as towing and, in some cases, a rental vehicle while your car is being repaired.
Physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and disruption to everyday life may be considered when evaluating non-economic damages.
ATTORNEY DANG
Exceptional Service Offered
Choosing the right law firm to handle your motor vehicle accident case is crucial for obtaining the compensation and justice you deserve. At Dang Law Group, your Austin auto accident law firm, we stand out for several reasons that make us the preferred choice for many clients in Austin:
1. A Prompt Response
Most Texas personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, although some claims may involve different or shorter deadlines.
Acting early can also help preserve photographs, video, witness information, vehicle evidence, and other records.
If the other driver had no insurance, see what to do if you get hit by an uninsured driver in Austin.
2. Contingency-Fee Representation
Dang Law Group handles personal injury matters on a contingency-fee basis. Attorney fees are generally collected from a recovery rather than charged upfront.
Ask us during your consultation how attorney fees and case expenses would apply to your claim.
3. Experience With Motor Vehicle Claims
Our attorneys handle motor vehicle claims regularly and understand how insurers evaluate them, from liability disputes to medical billing and policy limits.
4. Personalized Attention
At Dang Law Group, we prioritize our clients’ needs and concerns. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial effects a motor vehicle accident can have on you and your family.
Our team works to provide clear communication, answer questions, and keep clients informed throughout the claims process.
5. Handling Insurance Companies
Insurance companies may dispute fault or minimize the value of injuries. We handle communication with adjusters and respond with documentation and evidence.
It also helps to understand what not to say to an insurance adjuster in Texas.
6. Support Throughout the Claim
From the initial consultation through the resolution of the claim, Dang Law Group can investigate the accident, gather available evidence, communicate with insurers, negotiate, and, when appropriate, litigate on a client’s behalf.
Our goal is to handle the legal process so you can focus on your recovery.
Many clients also ask how long the process may take. See our guide on how long a car accident settlement takes in Texas.
