Austin Personal Injury Lawyers You Can Trust

These include intangible losses that are harder to put a monetary value on, but often make up a large part of your recovery. They include:

Pain and Suffering: The physical pain and discomfort you experience as a result of your injury, from the immediate trauma of the accident to the ongoing and chronic pain that can follow.

Mental Anguish and Emotional Distress: The psychological toll of your injury, including sleepless nights, worry about the future, fear, and distress of dealing with a permanent disability or disfigurement.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life: The loss of your ability to live a fulfilling life enjoying activities and hobbies that once brought you joy – whether it’s no longer being able to play with your children or enjoy a walk without pain.

Physical Impairment and Disfigurement: Permanent physical limitations, scarring, or disfigurement that you suffer. These damages acknowledge the long-term impact on your body and your self-esteem.

Loss of Consortium: If your injury has impacted your relationship with your spouse or family, you may get compensation for loss of companionship, affection, and support.

Although they are not awarded in every case, punitive damages may be appropriate when the at-fault party is reckless or purposefully hurts you.
These damages do not compensate you for losses. Instead, they are meant to punish the at-fault defendant to deter the action in the future. The plaintiff (you) can receive a significant amount of punitive damages – sometimes millions of dollars.

Punitive damages are more common in drunk driving cases or claims where trucking companies or truck drivers have been excessively negligent to the point of recklessness.

At Lee, Gober & Reyna, we understand that your pain is real, and your suffering has a value. We work diligently to document and present a compelling case for your damages, ensuring that your recovery reflects not just your financial losses but also the full extent of the harm you have suffered.

Losing a loved one in an accident is an unimaginable tragedy, and the last thing you should worry about is financial stress. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, an Austin wrongful death lawsuit can provide compensation to help you navigate this difficult time.

We can help you pursue damages for your family's losses, which may include funeral and burial costs, medical expenses incurred before their passing, lost inheritance, and potential future income.

After an accident, you may feel overwhelmed and alone. The thought of a quick insurance settlement can seem like welcome relief, offering a fast solution to your problems. But before you accept that offer, you need to understand what's really happening.

The insurance company’s primary goal is to protect their profits, and they have teams of adjusters and lawyers who know exactly what your claim is worth. A fast settlement offer (called a “lowball settlement offer”) is often a sign that they know they owe you much more. 

By getting you to sign quickly, they can pay you a small fraction of what you truly deserve and close your case for good.

Accepting a quick settlement puts you at a severe financial disadvantage. It can leave you without the funds you need for ongoing medical care, lost wages, and other long-term costs you may not have considered. Don't let the insurance company's interests come before your own.
