How the preliminary range works
The calculator considers reported claim factors — including injury severity, treatment history, lost income, responsibility for the crash, and available insurance — and returns an educational preliminary claim-value range. The range reflects general Texas valuation methods applied to the information you provide. It is not a prediction of any settlement or verdict, is not legal advice, and does not replace review by a licensed attorney. Selecting Austin provides local resources but does not change the dollar calculation.

What information affects an Austin accident estimate?
Important inputs include medical treatment and bills, injury severity, lost income, responsibility for the crash, available insurance, and whether a commercial vehicle was involved.
How long do I have to file an accident claim in Texas?
Texas generally has a two-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, but exceptions and shorter notice requirements may apply. A licensed attorney can evaluate the deadline for a specific matter.
Does using this calculator send my information to an attorney?

This tool produces a preliminary, non-binding estimate based on the information you provide and general personal-injury valuation methods. It is not legal advice, not a guarantee of any outcome, and not a substitute for review by a licensed attorney. Actual settlements and verdicts vary widely based on evidence, jurisdiction, insurance coverage, and many other factors.
