Austin Auto Accident Attorney

Don’t Let An Innocent Mistake Ruin Your Accident Claim

We are tired of seeing car wreck victims being taken advantage of by insurance companies, medical providers, and other lawyers.  That’s why we’ve written our FREE book HOLDING WRONGDOERS ACCOUNTABLE: Avoiding Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Accident Claim.    We want you to have this information even if you don’t intend to hire a lawyer (and the book even discusses when you might be better off without a lawyer) or if you have already hired another lawyer.  So if you or a friend or a loved one has been injured in a car wreck, please order a copy of this book. 

We would love the opportunity to help you 

At Perlmutter & Schuelke, LLP we have successfully represented numerous individuals in auto accident claims. And unlike many attorneys who handle a high volume of car wrecks in a “mill” practice, we strive to represent only a few individuals and provide them the best service possible. And we also strive to stay on top of the law. Car wreck litigation features a number of surprising complications, and you want an attorney that knows, for instance, the latest arguments in the “paid and incurred” fight, what arguments best support extra-contractual damages in uninsured/underinsured motorist litigation, and what arguments can best be used to minimize any subrogration liens out there.

To find out more about the process, please call us for a consultation or fill out the “Quick Case Inquiry” form on this site. Otherwise, to help you understand this process, we have included links to several pieces of information.
