Austin Car Accident Lawyer

Car accidents aren’t always just bad luck. Many drivers simply aren’t paying attention. They’re on their phones, surfing TikTok and YouTube or driving while drunk after a night out. You shouldn’t be paying the price for someone else’s speeding or other bad decisions. That’s where car accident lawyer David Komie can help.

David is a different kind of lawyer. You may have seen him around town. He has dreadlocks, plays in a rock band and hangs out in the Austin art and music scene, with artists and musicians, and oddballs.

He’s a down-to-earth dude who also happens to be a highly skilled injury attorney who has gotten results totaling millions of dollars for people who were injured in car accidents.

The Types And Causes Of Car Crashes

Each year, thousands of motor vehicle accidents occur across the country, and many of them happen right here in Austin. These crashes happen for a variety of reasons and in a variety of ways, but in most cases, the results are the same – someone suffers injuries, or a family loses a loved one.

Even though an accident can happen in many ways, some are more common than others. Below are the most often-seen types of car crashes, mostly occurring due to distraction, drowsiness or impairment:

• Head-on collisions – Two vehicles traveling in opposing directions collide, or one driver is driving the wrong way.
• Rear-end collisions – One vehicle slamming into the rear of the one in front of it.
• T-bone collisions – The front of one vehicle striking the side of another, often caused by running a red light or failing to stop or slow down at a red light or stop sign.
• Sideswipe collisions – A vehicle crashes into another car’s side, which occurs when a driver fails to clear a blind spot, doesn’t look in the rearview or side mirror before changing lanes, or allows a vehicle to drift.
• Rollover collisions – A vehicle flipping over during an accident with a high rate of fatalities.

Regardless of who or what caused the car accident, immediate medical help is vital.

Compensation In A Motor Vehicle Accident’s Aftermath

In addition to physical injuries, the aftermath of a car accident can be financially traumatic. From post-accident medical care and physical therapy to vehicle repair and replacement costs, victims are left with uncertain futures.

Texas entitles accident victims to economic and noneconomic damages in recognition of the debilitating impact post-car crash. Punitive damages could be an option as well. Caps that exist in Texas can limit the amount of compensation received. Consulting with and retaining a personal injury attorney can make an uncertain future more certain.

Don’t Get Shortchanged On Your Car Wreck Compensation

Car accidents are life-changing. And they’re expensive. You may be drowning in medical bills and motor vehicle repair bills. On top of that, you might have missed work due to the accident. The last thing you need while struggling with serious injuries is added financial stress.

The sad truth is that you can’t trust your insurance to pay you what you need. They will likely try to pressure you into accepting a lowball settlement shortly after your accident.

They know you’re stressed, overwhelmed and struggling to make sense of your options. But don’t take the bait. It would almost certainly leave you with far less than you deserve. David and his brother Matthew, also an attorney, are here to fight to get you the real money you need and deserve. They stand up against insurance companies to make sure you don’t get shortchanged.

Steps To Take After A Texas Car Accident

You must begin protecting your rights immediately after suffering injuries in a Texas car accident. Following these steps sets a strong foundation for your accident and injury claim:

• Contact emergency services and check for injuries among passengers and yourself
• Gather the other driver’s details and take photos of the scene, as well as the damage and injuries
• Keep careful records of all communications and expenses
• Report the accident to the involved insurer but avoid discussing the crash without a lawyer’s guidance

A critical step many overlook is seeking medical attention. Even if you feel fine, get yourself checked out for two reasons: to confirm or rule out severe injuries and to obtain invaluable medical evidence for your accident claim.

Types Of Car Accident Damages In Texas

In Texas, car accident victims can claim various types of damages under state insurance and accident laws. These include:

• Economic damages: For medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, etc.
• Noneconomic damages: For ongoing pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of life enjoyment, etc.

For accident injuries caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages to punish the other driver may be possible.

Meeting the associated deadlines is vital for preserving your compensation.
