Motor Vehicle
Accident Lawyer
A vehicle accident can flip your life upside down in seconds. One moment you are driving along State Highway 71 or heading toward Hill Country Galleria, and the next you are dealing with pain, doctor visits, missed work, and calls from insurance companies that feel overwhelming. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Many people in Bee Cave find themselves in this exact situation every year.
At Djiba Law, we help people hurt in vehicle accidents take control of what happens next. Our job is simple in theory but tough in practice. We fight to get you paid fairly while you focus on healing. No pressure. No confusing legal talk. Just clear guidance and strong advocacy when it matters most.
Why Vehicle Accidents Are a Serious Problem in Bee Cave?
Bee Cave may feel quieter than downtown Austin, but traffic here has grown fast. State Highway 71, Bee Cave Road, and Falconhead Boulevard see heavy daily traffic. Add tourists visiting Lake Travis and shoppers heading to the Galleria, and crashes are bound to happen.
We regularly see accidents caused by:
-
Speeding and aggressive driving
-
Distracted driving, especially phone use
-
Failure to yield at intersections
-
Rear end collisions in stop and go traffic
-
Unsafe lane changes on busy roads
These crashes are not minor inconveniences. They often lead to back injuries, neck injuries, broken bones, head trauma, and long recovery times. Some injuries do not show up right away, which is why people sometimes wait too long to get help.
How the Process Works With Djiba Law?
Djiba Law focuses on personal injury cases tied to vehicle accidents. That includes crashes involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, rideshare vehicles, and pedestrians.
Here is how the process usually works:
-
Review your accident and injuries
-
Collect accident reports and police documentation
-
Gather medical records and injury evaluations
-
Review insurance policies and coverage limits
-
Handle all communication with insurance companies
-
Build a clear claim showing fault and damages
-
Push for a fair settlement
-
File a lawsuit if the insurance company refuses to pay fairly
Most people miss one big thing. Your claim value is often decided early. What gets said and documented in the first weeks matters more than most realize.
What a Vehicle Accident Lawyer Actually Does for You?
Most people think hiring a lawyer means going straight to court. That is rarely the case. A good vehicle accident lawyer handles the hard parts so you do not have to.
Here is what we do for clients in Bee Cave.
We Deal With the Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters may sound friendly, but their goal is to pay as little as possible. They may:
-
Ask for recorded statements
-
Push quick settlements
-
Question your injuries
-
Shift blame onto you
We step in early so you do not say something that hurts your claim. We handle the calls, paperwork, and negotiations while keeping you informed.
We Prove Who Was at Fault
Texas follows a fault based system. That means the person who caused the crash is responsible for damages. Proving fault takes work. We gather:
-
Police accident reports
-
Photos and videos
-
Witness statements
-
Medical records
-
Vehicle damage reports
-
Accident reconstruction when needed
People often think fault is obvious. Insurance companies often disagree. Solid evidence makes the difference.
We Calculate the True Value of Your Claim
Medical bills are only part of the story. A fair claim also includes:
-
Lost wages and future income
-
Pain and suffering
-
Ongoing medical care
-
Physical therapy
-
Reduced quality of life
Many people settle too early and regret it later. We look at the full picture, not just the first hospital bill.
Types of Vehicle Accident Cases We Handle
No two crashes are exactly the same. Our experience covers a wide range of vehicle accident claims in Bee Cave and surrounding areas.
Car Accidents
Car crashes are the most common cases we see. From rear end collisions to serious intersection crashes, we help drivers and passengers recover damages after negligent driving.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often cause severe injuries due to size and weight differences. These cases can involve multiple parties, including trucking companies and insurers. They require deeper investigation and fast action.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are exposed and vulnerable. Even a low speed crash can cause life changing injuries. We fight back against unfair bias that riders often face.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Bee Cave continues to grow, and more people walk or bike near busy roads. When a driver fails to yield or pay attention, the results can be devastating.
Rideshare Accidents
Accidents involving Uber or Lyft can get confusing fast. Coverage depends on whether the driver was logged into the app and carrying a passenger. We sort through those details so you do not have to.
Hit and Run Accidents
Being hit by a driver who takes off adds stress to an already scary situation. We explore every possible option, including uninsured motorist coverage.
Wrongful Death Claims
Some accidents result in tragic loss of life. Families deserve answers and financial security during an incredibly hard time. We handle these cases with care and respect.
What Makes Vehicle Accident Claims in Texas Tricky?
Texas law has a few rules that can surprise people.
Comparative Negligence
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found more than 50 percent at fault, you cannot recover damages. Insurance companies often try to push blame onto victims. We push back.
Statute of Limitations
You usually have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can mean losing your right to recover compensation. This part is tricky, especially when injuries take time to show up.
Delayed Injuries
Many people feel sore but okay at first. Days later, the pain hits. Insurance companies love delays. Medical records help connect your injuries to the crash.
Why Local Experience in Bee Cave Matters?
Local knowledge helps. We know the roads, traffic patterns, and common crash locations in Bee Cave. We understand how accidents happen on State Highway 71 and around Hill Country Galleria. That context helps when explaining your case to insurers or a jury.
We also know how stressful it can feel when medical bills pile up and work becomes difficult. You want someone who understands both the law and the reality of what you are dealing with.
Common Mistakes People Make After a Vehicle Accident
People often do things they think are harmless but end up hurting their case.
-
Talking to the insurance company without legal advice
-
Accepting the first settlement offer
-
Waiting too long to see a doctor
-
Posting accident details on social media
-
Assuming pain will just go away
If you are unsure about something, ask. A quick conversation can save you from long-term problems.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do I really need a lawyer after a car accident?
If your accident involved injuries, medical bills, or missed work, a lawyer can help protect your claim. Insurance companies have teams working against you. Having someone on your side matters.
How much is my vehicle accident case worth?
Every case is different. It depends on injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how the crash affected your life. We look at the full impact, not just surface numbers.
What if I was partly at fault?
You may still recover compensation if you are less than 51 percent at fault. Texas law allows partial recovery, but insurers will try to reduce what they pay.
How long will my case take?
Some cases settle in months. Others take longer, especially if injuries are serious. Rushing usually benefits the insurance company, not you.
What if the other driver had no insurance?
Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply. We review all available options so nothing is missed.
Will my case go to court?
Most cases settle without trial. We prepare every case as if it could go to court, which often leads to better settlement offers.
How much does it cost to hire Djiba Law?
Nothing upfront. You only pay if we recover compensation for you.
