Proving Fault in a Car Accident Case

In Texas, proving liability means demonstrating that the other party was negligent. We use police reports, witness testimony, crash reconstruction, and medical evidence to build a strong, clear case on your behalf.

Our Austin car wreck attorney will focus on establishing the following four elements of negligence:

Duty of Care: The other driver had a legal duty to operate their vehicle safely and follow traffic laws.
Breach of Duty: The other driver failed to meet their duty of care—through reckless driving, distracted driving, etc.
Causation: Their actions directly caused the accident and your injuries.
Damages: You suffered financial and physical harm as a result (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc.)

Damages You Can Recover

In a successful personal injury claim after an auto accident, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic or special damages compensate you for financial losses incurred due to the accident. They include:

Non-economic or general damages cover non-monetary, personal losses experienced by the victims and their families. They include:

In rare instances, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the defendant when there’s evidence of gross negligence.

Our Austin car accident attorney can assess the damages you may be entitled to following your auto collision. We will fight hard for you to receive a fair car accident settlement that covers all your losses—both financial and personal.

Insurance companies have one priority: protecting their bottom line. After a crash, they may pressure you to accept a quick, lowball settlement—or deny your claim altogether.

Don’t let them take advantage of you. At ME Law, we know their tactics and fight back with experience, strategy, and relentless dedication to our clients. Plus, we work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing unless we win.

From the very first consultation, he had a clear strategy and followed through, executing exactly as promised. His communication is outstanding — no missed calls, no unanswered emails. His pricing is extremely fair compared to other attorneys who wanted nearly double with no real game plan, and his flexibility with payments made a huge difference.

Cathy, his paralegal, is equally amazing: attentive, kind, responsive, and genuinely caring. An exceptional team that I can’t recommend highly enough.

If you've found yourself in a corner and need a lawyer that you can TRUST will have your best interests at heart and will FIGHT for you?

MELaw, has been such a life saver to me during this probate process. Ms. Cathy has been extremely professional and comforting to work with. She has made me feel at ease in the signing of deeds and other paper work with her calming demeanor and smile. I would recommend the ME Law firm to anyone needing a will probated.

If truth was a meme, Mikel would be the face. He gives you the 101 in understanding the business actions that will help you win and realities of what he reads on his cases. I am located in another state but I was confident in his ability to negotiate on my behalf and give me the several scenarios I could go to get to the finish line. I recommend his business litigation and others services to anyone near, around and within Austin. Thank you Mr. Eggert

Attorney Mikel Eggert gave me a very positive experience with my legal issues. I received his undivided attention. He helped me with a will, probate, and living trust. He educated me and made sure I had a clear understanding of the law. I appreciated that he did so in layman's terms. My biggest shock was the price of his service. Very reasonable and he was recommended to me by the State Board. I was impressed. His humility and understanding exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Eggert did everything possible for the best outcome for my family. It was not an easy task, he dismissed one case and kept our loved one from staying in jail on another. Only regret was not hiring him quicker for a different charge. Thank you so much!!!

My partner and I worked with Mr.Eggert to navigate a tenant/landlord dispute. Mr.Eggert was genuinely personable, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process.
He was super timely with communications and most importantly helped resolve the issue without needing to escalate it to court.
I will definitely work with Mikel for future legal needs.
