San Antonio
Car Accident Lawyer
No fee unless we win. We handle Bexar County crash claims from first call to settlement.
After a San Antonio car accident, call 911, get checked by a doctor even if you feel fine, and photograph everything before the vehicles move. Texas allows two years to file. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer first. That call is designed to reduce what they pay you.
The First 48 hours
What you do in the first two days after a crash can make or break your claim. Follow this checklist.
Call the police
A police report is critical evidence. Always call 911, even for a minor crash.
Get medical attention
See a doctor right away, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline masks pain.
Photograph vehicles and scene
Take photos of all vehicles, damage, skid marks, road conditions, and traffic signs.
Get witness contacts
Witnesses leave the scene and disappear. Get names and phone numbers before anyone leaves.
Notify your own insurer
Report the crash to your insurance company. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer.
Do not accept a quick settlement
Early offers are designed to close your claim cheaply. Do not sign anything before speaking to a lawyer.

Crash Types We handle
We take on the full range of car accident claims across San Antonio and Bexar County.
Rear-End Collisions
The most common crash type. Often caused by distracted driving or following too closely.
Intersection and Left-Turn Crashes
Failure to yield, running red lights, and misjudging gaps cause serious intersection crashes.
Drunk Driving Crashes
Drunk drivers cause devastating injuries. We pursue every available avenue of compensation.
Hit and Run
If the driver fled the scene, we help identify them and pursue your uninsured motorist coverage.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
When the at fault driver has no insurance or not enough, your own policy can cover the gap.
Multi-Vehicle Pileups
Chain reaction crashes involve multiple drivers and complex liability. We sort it out.
How Fault Works in Texas
Texas uses a system called modified comparative negligence, also known as the proportionate responsibility rule. Under this rule, each party involved in a crash is assigned a percentage of fault. You can recover compensation as long as you are 50 percent or less at fault.
However, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If your damages total $100,000 and you are found 20 percent at fault, your recovery is reduced by $20,000, leaving you with $80,000.
The other driver's insurance company knows this rule well. Their job is to assign as much blame to you as possible, because every percentage they shift onto you reduces what they have to pay. They will look for anything they can use: speeding, distracted driving, failure to signal, or even the angle of your vehicle.
We push back with facts. We use the police report, witness statements, traffic camera footage, vehicle damage analysis, and accident reconstruction experts to prove the other driver was at fault. The less blame assigned to you, the more compensation you recover.
The 51 percent bar rule: if you are 51 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing.
What Your Claim May include
Compensation in a car accident claim goes beyond just your immediate medical bills.
Medical Costs
Emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and rehabilitation.
Future Medical Care
Ongoing treatment, physical therapy, and future surgeries related to your injuries.
Lost Wages
Income lost while you were unable to work due to your injuries.
Lost Earning Capacity
If your injuries reduce your ability to earn income in the future.
Vehicle Damage
Repair or replacement costs for your vehicle and personal property damaged in the crash.
Pain and Suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the crash.
No Upfront cost
We handle car accident cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing out of pocket. We advance the costs of investigating and building your case. We only get paid when we recover money for you. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
