A serious injury can upend your health, your income and your family’s plans in a single moment. Thousands of serious crashes happen across Bexar County every year, and most victims are left negotiating with an insurer whose goal is to pay as little as possible.
Texas Law Guns, Injury & Accident Lawyers represents injured people in San Antonio, Austin, Laredo and across Texas. Our San Antonio personal injury lawyers build every claim to cover your full medical costs, lost income and long-term recovery, and we take cases to trial when insurers refuse to pay fairly. You pay no fees unless we win.
Texas Law Guns, Injury & Accident Lawyers stand up for those injured by the negligence or carelessness of others. We have extensive legal experience and a dedicated support team catering to Texans who require aggressive legal representation. Our San Antonio personal injury attorneys have the knowledge and experience necessary to secure the compensation you are entitled to.
When you contact Texas Law Guns, Injury & Accident Lawyers, we start by asking you questions about how the injury happened, what medical treatment you’ve received, and whether an insurance company has already reached out. One of our personal injury lawyers then reviews this information and explains how liability may be assessed, what types of coverage apply, and what compensation you may be entitled to.
Once you’ve retained us, your attorney moves directly into the investigation stage. We obtain police or accident reports, request medical documentation, and interview witnesses who can support your claim. When photographs, video footage, or electronic records exist, we secure them quickly to prevent loss of evidence. In some cases, we engage independent professionals like accident reconstruction specialists or vocational experts to help us document the ways your injuries have changed your life, now and possibly in the future.
After the evidence has been collected, we prepare a demand package and present it to the insurer. If the carrier refuses to resolve the claim on fair terms, our trial lawyers file a lawsuit and continue building the case. This stage can include exchanging records, questioning witnesses under oath, and preparing testimony for trial. Until the moment your case concludes, we take all available measures to win maximum compensation for your injuries.
San Antonio’s highways and arterials carry some of the heaviest traffic in Texas, and our attorneys know where and how the worst crashes happen. We regularly handle claims arising from:
Knowing these roads matters. Local experience helps us move quickly to secure crash reports, witness accounts and camera footage before they are lost. Read our study of the most dangerous intersections in Bexar County to see where crashes cluster.
Insurance adjusters often make a quick, low offer before you understand how much your injuries will cost over time. Hiring an experienced trial lawyer changes that negotiation in three ways.
We value the whole claim, not just the ER bill. We account for future surgeries, physical therapy, lost earning capacity and the effect of your injuries on daily life. Use our personal injury settlement calculator for a starting point.
We build the evidence. Our team obtains San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) crash reports, secures traffic camera video, subpoenas phone records when distraction is suspected, and brings in accident reconstruction or medical experts when liability is disputed.
We prepare every case for court. Insurers track which firms settle cheaply and which go to trial. Because we prepare each claim as if it will be heard in Bexar County civil district court, carriers have a strong reason to offer more to avoid trial costs.
Some injury firms take on high volumes of cases and settle each one as fast as possible, often for less than it is worth. We don’t run our practice that way.
Most of our cases do settle, and we know most clients want a settlement. But a fair settlement sometimes takes longer to negotiate, and some cases need arbitration or a jury. Insurers know our trial record, and that reputation is a big part of why they offer our clients more.
If your injuries are serious and your losses are significant, the lawyer you choose will shape the result. Here are the questions to ask before you hire one, and how often Texas injury cases actually go to trial.
To recover compensation, you generally need to show four things:
Your lawyer investigates to identify every party who may be responsible, then files a claim with each one or with their insurer. Insurers run their own investigations and reach their own liability conclusions. When the two sides can’t agree, a jury makes the final decision.
Blaming the injured person is one of the most common defense tactics. Under Texas’s proportionate responsibility rule, you can still recover as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your share of the fault, so a $100,000 claim with 20% fault on your side pays $80,000. At 51% or more, you cannot recover.
If settlement talks fail, a San Antonio lawsuit is usually filed in Bexar County civil district court at 100 Dolorosa Street, San Antonio, TX 78205. Calling us early gives our team time to preserve evidence, interview witnesses and meet every local filing requirement well before the deadline.
Editing note: add a sentence linking this H3 to the existing homepage FAQ “How Long Do You Have to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?” instead of restating the two-year rule. Have an attorney confirm the $100,000 example before it goes live.
Your health comes first. After a serious crash, emergency crews in San Antonio usually take patients to one of the area’s major trauma and emergency networks:
Prompt treatment also protects your claim. Medical records tie your injuries directly to the crash, and a gap in care gives insurers room to argue your injuries came from something else or aren’t serious.
No health insurance? We can arrange care through a Texas letter of protection, so you can get treatment now and pay providers from your settlement when the case resolves.
What happens after you get into a car wreck? Do you contact your insurance company? Do you get your car repaired? There are various questions that arise when someone crashes into your car.
Were you or a loved one injured or killed in a recent 18-wheeler accident in the San Antonio area? The problem with 18-wheeler accidents is they cause terrible damage to the people and property around them.
Workplace accidents and injuries happen, and they can lead to extensive medical bills and time away from work. If you or a loved one have sustained a work injury but are having trouble getting the compensation you deserve
Wrongful death is an exceedingly painful experience. If your loved one has died due to the negligence or reckless behavior of another, you find yourself in a nightmare from which there is no awakening.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. This deadline, known as the statute of limitations, is established under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003. If you miss this deadline, the court will almost certainly dismiss your case, and you will permanently lose your right to seek compensation.
That said, certain exceptions can either shorten or toll (pause/extend) the two-year window:
There is no single “average” settlement figure that applies across the board. Settlement amounts vary based on the type of injury, who was at fault, available insurance coverage, and how persuasive the evidence is. That said, the following factors push settlements up or down:
You will see figures like “$52,000” or “$75,000” cited online as average personal injury settlements. These numbers are unreliable for several reasons:
A more useful approach is to calculate your actual damages and treat that as your baseline.
You may be able to recover past, current and future lost wages, plus loss of earning capacity if your injuries keep you from returning to your job or limit what you can earn. The goal is to put you back in the financial position you would have been in without the injury.
Finding the responsible parties is part of our job. We investigate the scene and records and, when needed, work with accident reconstruction experts to establish what happened and who is liable.
It depends on your injuries, whether fault is disputed and how many defendants are involved. Clear-liability cases tend to resolve faster; contested or multi-party cases take longer. Once we understand your case and the defense’s position, we can give you a realistic timeline.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, advance the costs of your case, and are paid only from the settlement or verdict we win for you. If we don’t recover compensation, you owe no attorney’s fees.
Contact us early, get medical treatment right away and keep every record. Save photos and videos of the scene, collect witness contact details, and write down what you remember about the crash and your injuries while it is fresh.
We understand that victims of personal injuries can face significant financial difficulties in the aftermath of sudden accidents. That is why we take all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means our clients face no upfront or out-of-pocket costs and they only owe us legal fees after we achieve a favorable settlement or verdict on their behalf.
When we take a personal injury case, we use a contingency fee arrangement. This means you don’t pay any legal fees upfront, and you have no out-of-pocket costs while your case is in progress. Our payment comes as an agreed-upon percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain for you.
If we recover compensation on your behalf, our fee is taken directly from that amount before you receive your portion. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing for attorney fees. We’ll explain the percentage and terms before you hire us so you know exactly how fees will be calculated. You’ll have the opportunity to review and agree to the arrangement in writing, giving you complete transparency from the beginning.
Texas Law Guns, Injury & Accident Lawyers will not settle for less than what you deserve. We will not hesitate to take your case to trial in order to secure the maximum compensation for your claim. When you need aggressive personal injury representation in San Antonio, you can contact the Texas Law Guns for a free consultation online or by calling us at (210) 800-0000.
