When someone else’s carelessness or negligence has left you injured, financial worries pile up fast. Your medical bills are growing by the day and you can’t work, so how will you afford to pay them, let alone hire an Austin personal injury lawyer?
At the Texas Law Guns, Injury & Accident Lawyers, we believe every injury victim is entitled to fair compensation, no matter their financial situation. That’s why we offer a free consultation to review your case, answer your questions, and explain your legal options. We also work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
With Austin’s busy highways, construction sites, and growing population, accidents happen every day. If you’ve been injured in a car crash on I-35, a workplace incident at a downtown job site, or a slip and fall at Barton Creek Square, our legal team is here to fight for you.
What Is a Free Consultation Lawyer?
Many people hesitate to contact a personal injury attorney because they assume legal representation will be expensive. A free consultation removes that financial barrier and gives you access to legal advice without any commitment. This meeting allows you to ask questions, get clarity on your rights, and decide whether pursuing a claim is the right path forward. It also gives you a chance to evaluate the attorney and determine if they’re the right fit for your case.
What Happens During a Free Consultation?
A free consultation is your opportunity to present the facts of your case and get insight from an experienced attorney. The lawyer will ask detailed questions to understand what happened and whether legal action is possible. Every case is different, so this discussion helps determine how strong your claim is and what financial compensation you may be entitled to.
During a free consultation, an attorney will:
- Listen to the details of your accident or injury. You’ll be asked to explain what happened, who was involved, and how the incident has affected your life. If the accident resulted in extensive medical treatment, ongoing pain, lost wages, or emotional distress, those details will be important for assessing the claim.
- Review any available evidence. If you have medical records, accident reports, photos, videos, or witness statements, bring them to the consultation. These documents help the lawyer evaluate liability and estimate potential compensation. If you haven’t gathered evidence yet, the attorney will advise you on what’s needed.
- Explain your legal rights and possible compensation. Many injury victims don’t realize what they’re entitled to under Texas law. An attorney will clarify your rights, potential damages (such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering), and whether a lawsuit is necessary.
- Outline the next steps if you decide to move forward with a claim. If the lawyer believes you have a strong case, they will explain how the legal process works, what to expect, and how long it might take to resolve. If you decide to move forward, the attorney will guide you through filing a claim, negotiating with insurance companies, and, if necessary, preparing for court.
There’s no obligation to hire an attorney after the consultation. This meeting is strictly about getting information and getting legal advice. If the lawyer believes you don’t have a valid claim, they will be honest with you. If they do take your case, they’ll explain the contingency fee structure, meaning you won’t pay anything unless they win.
How Do Contingency Fees Work?
When you hire a lawyer on contingency, you agree that they will receive a percentage of your final settlement or verdict. This percentage is typically discussed upfront during your free consultation, so there are no surprises. The fee covers all legal work, including investigation, negotiation, court filings, and trial representation if necessary.
For example, if your case settles for $100,000 and your attorney’s contingency fee is 33%, they would receive $33,000. The remaining $67,000 would go to you. If no money is recovered, you pay nothing.
Some law firms in Travis County also cover case-related expenses, such as court fees, expert witnesses, and medical record retrieval, which are deducted from the final settlement. At Texas Law Guns, Injury & Accident Lawyers, we make sure our clients understand every detail of their agreement before moving forward.
Why Choose a Contingency Fee Lawyer?
Hiring a lawyer on contingency means you can concentrate on your recovery while your attorney handles your case. You don’t have to stress about paying for legal guidance while dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and other accident-related costs. This system also gives your lawyer a strong incentive to maximize your compensation.
Insurance companies often try to delay, deny, or underpay claims. Without an attorney, you may struggle to get the full amount you deserve. A contingency fee lawyer has the experience and resources to take on powerful insurance companies and fight for fair compensation.
What Types of Cases Do We Handle on a Contingency Fee Basis?
At Texas Law Guns, Injury & Accident Lawyers, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, including:
- Car Accidents: With Austin’s heavy traffic and fast-growing population, car accidents happen every day on I-35, MoPac Expressway, and Highway 183. Whether you were rear-ended at a stoplight, hit by a distracted driver, or involved in a multi-car pileup, these crashes can leave you with severe injuries. We fight to recover compensation for hospital bills, vehicle repairs, ongoing medical treatment, and lost wages.
- Truck Accidents: 18-wheelers and commercial trucks are a common sight on Travis County highways, and when they collide with smaller vehicles, the results can be devastating. We know how to uncover issues like driver fatigue, poor maintenance, and violations of trucking regulations, all of which can be used to hold the responsible parties accountable.
- Motorcycle Accidents: From South Congress to 6th Street and beyond, Austin’s streets are popular among motorcyclists, but reckless drivers make the roads dangerous. Many motorcycle accidents happen because drivers fail to yield, don’t check their blind spots, or engage in distracted driving. We take on negligent drivers and their insurance companies so that injured riders receive maximum compensation.
- Workplace Injuries: Austin’s booming construction and tech industries mean thousands of workers face risks on the job every day. From construction site accidents on high-rise projects downtown to slip-and-falls in office buildings, workplace injuries can be life-altering. We handle both workers’ compensation claims and personal injury lawsuits, so that injured workers get the full compensation they need for medical care, lost wages, and long-term recovery.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners and businesses have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for visitors. If you’ve suffered a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall injury due to poor lighting, broken stairs, or unmarked hazards, you may have a claim against the property owner. We help clients recover compensation for all financial losses caused by preventable accidents.
- Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating. Texas law allows surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit to recover damages for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering. Our team fights for families so that they receive justice and the financial support they need to move forward.

When you work with us, you get:
- A Free Consultation with No Obligation: During this meeting, we will listen to you, answer your questions, and explain your options. There’s no pressure to hire us after this consultation: our goal is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision during this difficult time.
- No Upfront Costs: Medical bills, lost wages, and the cost of vehicle repairs can add up quickly after an accident. The last thing you need is another expense. Our payment comes from a percentage of the settlement or verdict we win for you, and if we don’t get you a settlement or jury verdict, you don’t owe attorney fees.
- Aggressive Legal Representation: Insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. Without a lawyer, you may be pressured into accepting a settlement that doesn’t cover your full medical costs, lost income, or future expenses. We know their tactics and fight back with strong evidence, expert testimony, and assertive negotiation. We also pursue every possible source of compensation, whether that means negotiating with insurers, filing a lawsuit, or taking your case to trial.
Our focus is on maximizing your compensation, not just securing a quick settlement. We consider all damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and long-term disability. If your injuries require ongoing medical care, impact your ability to work, or cause emotional trauma, we make sure that these factors are included in your claim, giving you further peace of mind.
