Personal Injury Cases We Handle in San Antonio, TX
Car Accidents
Car Accidents
San Antonio has its fair share of car accidents. If you were in a car accident caused by a drunk driving, distracted driving, or any other form of negligence, you could be entitled to substantial compensation from the at-fault driver. Our San Antonio car accident lawyers can help you hold them responsible for your medical bills and other losses.
View Practice AreaTruck Accidents
Truck Accidents
Trucks are a staple on San Antonio’s roads and highways. They keep our economy running. However, they can pose major risk to passenger cars due to their size and weight. If you were in a truck accident, the truck driver and trucking company may be liable for your damages. Our San Antonio truck accident lawyers can help you protect your right to compensation.
View Practice AreaMotorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle Accidents
San Antonio is a terrific place to ride a motorcycle. The scenic roads and warm weather can be a dream for riders. However, drivers don’t always look out for motorcyclists. If a careless driver struck your bike, you shouldn’t be on the hook for your damages. Our San Antonio motorcycle accident attorneys can help you understand your rights and options.
View Practice AreaDog Bites
Dog Bites
Dogs make great companions, but not all dogs are friendly. Under the law, if a dog bites another person, it is the owner that is typically liable for the victim’s damages. Dog bites can cause extensive physical and emotional damage. Our San Antonio dog bite attorneys can help you hold the dog owner accountable for your injuries.
View Practice AreaPedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian Accidents
San Antonio is a highly walkable city. But congestion and aggressive drivers still pose risks to pedestrians. If you were in a pedestrian accident, the at-fault driver may owe you compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our San Antonio pedestrian accident lawyers can help you maximize your compensation award.
View Practice AreaUber Accidents
Uber Accidents
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft offer a great way to get around the city. But Uber drivers typically don’t have special training — they are just as likely to cause an accident as any other driver. If you were in an Uber accident, you may be entitled to compensation from the driver’s insurance company and/or Uber’s commercial policy. Our San Antonio Uber accident attorneys can help you identify all avenues for compensation.
View Practice AreaSlip and Falls
Slip and Falls
Businesses and property owners in San Antonio are supposed to keep their properties reasonably safe for guests. They are supposed to inspect their premises for hidden dangers, take care of slipping hazards, and warn of those that can’t be fixed right away. If you slipped and fell on another party’s property, the property owner may be responsible. Our San Antonio slip and fall lawyers can help you recover compensation for your fall-related damages.
View Practice AreaWorkplace Accidents
Workplace Accidents
Workplace accidents can leave you with extensive medical bills and lost income while you recover from your injuries. You may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if your injury happened during the course and scope of your employment. You may be entitled to additional damages if a third-party is responsible for your accident. Our San Antonio workplace accident attorneys will help you pursue fair compensation from all parties that share fault for your workplace injuries.
View Practice AreaWrongful Death
Wrongful Death
Serious accidents can have serious consequences — including wrongful death. If you lost a loved one in an accident, you have rights. Texas law allows surviving family members to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit when another party fatally injures their loved one. Our compassionate San Antonio wrongful death attorneys can help you pursue damages for the loss of support and companionship you’ve experienced. This money won’t bring back your loved one, but it can give you the closure and financial security you need to move forward.

Why Should I Hire a San Antonio Personal Injury Lawyer After an Accident?
Insurance companies are large, well-resourced companies that use tried-and-true tactics for denying and devaluing injury claims. If you do not hire a personal injury lawyer after an accident, the insurance company may be more likely to blame you for the accident, devalue your damages, and engage in other tactics designed to minimize your compensation award.
Your personal injury lawyer can give you access to your own key resources — and even the playing field with the insurance company. Studies have shown that an injured person can recover 3.5x more compensation from an injury claim if they’re represented by a personal injury lawyer.
Your lawyer will investigate, gather evidence of the insurer’s liability, and calculate the value of your injury-related losses. They will protect you from unfounded accusations that you share fault for the accident and help you avoid mistakes that could hurt your claim (e.g., giving a recorded statement to the insurance adjuster, signing a medical records release, etc.). Moreover, they will handle all aspects of your case and give you time to rest and recover.
If you have suffered injuries as a result of negligence or intentional harm, you need a competent attorney in your corner who can guide you through the claims process and help you fight for compensation. Contact a San Antonio personal injury attorney at George Salinas Injury Lawyers online, or at (210) 225-0909 to discuss the merits of your case and learn about your legal options for recovering damages related to your injuries.

Personal Injury FAQs
-
Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
The State of Texas allows injured persons to pursue claims against those responsible for their injuries in multiple situations. So long as another person or entity has caused you to suffer harm, it’s possible you have a case.
Many injury cases are based on negligence. Common negligence cases include motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, workplace accidents, and medical malpractice. Other cases involve intentional torts like assault. Some cases such as dog bites and product defects involve strict liability.
If you’re not sure whether you have a case, we encourage you to reach out for a free consultation. During that meeting, we can look into what happened and help determine your best course of action. You also won’t be under any obligation to hire us after the consult.
-
How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Most personal injury lawyers in San Antonio and throughout Texas work on a contingency fee basis. Under this fee arrangement, you won’t owe any upfront costs to hire an experienced attorney after an accident – and their payment is contingent on the outcome of your case.
If your attorney secures a favorable settlement or verdict for you, you’ll owe them an agreed-upon percentage (typically between 33–40%) of your award. You won’t owe any attorney’s fees if your case is unsuccessful.
A contingency fee agreement allows accident victims to retain experienced legal counsel without worrying about the costs. This is beneficial if you’re dealing with medical bills and other expenses while missing work.
During your free case assessment, we’ll review our contingency fee agreement with you to ensure that you understand the terms and what to expect.
-
What Damages Are Available to Accident Victims?
Accident victims in San Antonio can receive economic, non-economic, and (in rare cases) punitive damages.
Economic damages and non-economic damages are “compensatory.” They compensate you for losses after an accident. Examples include:
-
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Decreased earning capacity
- Loss of consortium
- Emotional distress
- Mental conditions such as PTSD and anxiety
- Decreased enjoyment of life
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Repair costs
- Rehabilitation
- Scarring or disfigurement
Punitive damages are not considered compensatory damages. Rather, these are meant to “punish” the at-fault party for their conduct. They are only awarded in personal injury cases involving extreme conduct, such as malice, fraud, or gross negligence.
-
-
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit After an Accident in Texas?
You’ll generally have two years to file a personal injury claim in Texas. This is Texas’s statute of limitations. If you submit your claim after the deadline passes, you will most likely lose your chance at pursuing compensation.
Keep in mind that there are exceptions to the statute of limitations, meaning you might have additional time to file your claim in some cases. Contact us today if you would like further clarification on the amount of time you have to file your case.
-
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Many factors can influence how much your case is worth. These include the following:
Type of injuries the victim has sustained, and their severity
Age of the victim at the time of the accident
How long and to what extent the victim will be kept out of work
Availability of evidence to prove the victim’s claim
- Whether the victim shares any blame for the accident
Cases involving more significant, debilitating injuries tend to be worth the most. We can help you get a sense of the value of your claim and bring in experts to help us value complex damages.
