If an accident caused death, the family may seek recovery of damages.

We represent clients principally in motor vehicle accident cases and wrongly denied, delayed or unfairly compensated insurance claims. Call us at (210) 732-6000 for more information.

Car Accident

Busy San Antonio roads are rife with car accidents caused by driver negligence. Many collisions take place because drivers are not paying attention to driving but instead are talking on cell phones, eating, yelling at their children, falling asleep at the wheel or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Other car accidents are caused by unsafe road conditions or defective auto parts or vehicles.

Truck Wreck

In 2007, 54,961 injury crashes involved large trucks in the U.S., of which 4,368 were fatal, according to the Motor Carrier Management Information System of the Transportation Department. The number of large trucks on the road grows every year along with the chance of serious and fatal injuries in truck accidents. The trucking industry is known for having agents quickly appear on site to investigate and protect its interests. If you are seriously injured in a trucking accident caused by someone’s negligent actions, you need an attorney to protect your legal rights, too.

Fatal Motorcycle Crash

Fatality Analysis Reporting System statistics show that motorcycle deaths have steadily risen every year from 1997 to 2007. Motorcyclists continue to be vulnerable, with roads dominated by SUVs, pick-up trucks and tractor trailers. According to the National Safety Council's Odds of Dying statistics, the chance of dying in a motorcycle accident is fourth after heart disease, cancer and stroke.

Most motorists never see the motorcycle until the crash is unavoidable or has already occurred. Motorcycle accidents usually require hospitalization, substantial medical treatment and rehabilitation. Medical costs can be exorbitant. If involved in a motorcycle accident, you need an experienced, competent personal injury lawyer at your side to help you obtain fair compensation.
