Who This Page Is For
Anyone injured in a car crash on San Antonio streets or highways because of another driver's negligence — whether you were a driver, passenger, or hit while parked.
Common Scenarios in San Antonio
San Antonio's dense highway network creates frequent rush-hour pileups on I-35 and I-10, left-turn collisions at busy Loop 410 interchanges, and rear-end crashes on surface streets like Bandera Road and Nacogdoches Road.
Liability
Fault generally comes down to which driver violated a traffic law or duty of care — following too closely, failing to yield, running a red light, or driving distracted. Police reports and witness statements are the starting point for establishing liability.
Evidence That Matters
Police crash reports, photos of vehicle damage and the scene, dashcam or nearby business surveillance footage, medical records tying your injuries to the crash, and witness contact information.
Damages You May Be Able to Recover
Medical treatment (past and future), lost wages, reduced earning capacity if injuries are long-term, vehicle repair or replacement, and pain and suffering.
Deadlines to Keep in Mind
Texas generally applies a statute of limitations to injury claims; the exact deadline depends on your case, so it's best to consult an attorney promptly rather than assume how much time remains.
Insurance Issues
Texas requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage, but many carry only the state minimum. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own policy's UM/UIM coverage, if you have it, may apply.
Comparative Responsibility
You may still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault, as long as you're found 50% or less responsible — your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my San Antonio car accident case worth?
It depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and the available insurance coverage. A free case review is the fastest way to get a realistic sense of your claim.
Do I have to go to court for my car accident claim?
Most car accident claims settle without a trial, but we prepare every case as if it might go to court so you're never negotiating from a position of weakness.
What if the accident happened on a highway on-ramp or in a construction zone?
Construction zones and on-ramps often involve additional parties, like a contractor, and different evidence needs — we account for that in the investigation.
