Why Should I Hire a San Antonio Personal Injury Attorney 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 award.
Your personal injury attorney in San Antonio 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 financial compensation from an injury claim if they’re represented by an attorney.
Your lawyer will handle the entire legal process, including conducting an investigation, 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 involved in handling your case and give you time to rest and recover.
If you have suffered injuries as a result of negligence or intentional harm in San Antonio, you need a competent attorney in your corner who can guide you through the claims process and help you fight to get the money you deserve. Contact us online, or at (210) 225-0909 to discuss your case and learn about your legal options for recovering damages related to your injuries.

Personal Injury FAQs
-
Do I Have a San Antonio Personal Injury Case?
Personal injury cases in San Antonio arise after certain accidents and injuries. However, not all accidents will qualify for a personal injury claim. Another party must be responsible for causing your accident for you to be eligible to receive compensation.
Most personal injury lawsuits are based on negligence. You may have a negligence case if another party injured you due to carelessness. Common negligence cases include motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, workplace accidents, and medical malpractice.
Other personal injury cases are based on intentional misconduct. If another person intentionally injured you, you could be able to seek compensation for your injuries. Assault is one common example of an intentional tort that could result in a claim.
Other cases involve strict liability. In these cases, a party does not need to have injured you through carelessness or intentional misconduct. Rather, you must show they engaged in unlawful conduct that caused your injury. Product defects are an example of a strict liability case; a company that makes a defective product that injures a consumer may be strictly liable for the resulting injuries.
The best way to determine if you have a claim is to contact an experienced attorney. A skilled lawyer can help you understand your rights and options for pursuing compensation after an accident. Contact George Salinas to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Most personal injury lawyers in San Antonio work on a contingency fee basis. Under this fee arrangement, you won’t owe any upfront attorney fees to secure quality legal representation. Instead, payment for the representation is contingent on the outcome of your case.
If your attorney secures a favorable settlement or verdict for you, they will take a pre-agreed-upon percentage of your award (typically between 33–40%) as payment for legal services. If they fail to secure an award, you won’t owe any attorney fees. A contingency fee agreement allows you to retain experienced legal counsel at a time when you may have unexpected expenses related to your accident.
Most injury lawyers also offer free consultations. These no-obligation consultations provide you with an opportunity to learn about your rights after an accident.
-
What Damages Are Available After an Accident?
In a successful claim in San Antonio, accident victims can receive economic, non-economic, and (in rare instances) punitive damages to cover their accident-related losses.
Economic damages and non-economic damages are known as “compensatory damages.” These damages compensate you for losses after an accident.
Economic damages, which cover your financial losses after your injury, include:
- Medical expenses including medical care, doctors’ visits, medical bills (past and future medical expenses)
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Property damage and repair costs
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
Non-economic damages cover your non-monetary losses after the accident. They are more personal in nature and include:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Emotional distress
- Mental conditions such as PTSD and anxiety
- Decreased enjoyment of life
- Scarring or disfigurement
Punitive damages do not compensate you for losses. Rather, they are designed to “punish” the at-fault party for their conduct. They are only awarded in claims 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 lawsuit in Texas. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. The clock typically starts ticking on the date of your accident. If you submit your claim after the deadline, you will be barred from recovering compensation in court.
There are exceptions to the general two-year statute of limitations. You might have more or less time to file your lawsuit in some cases. We can help you comply with the deadlines in your case. Contact our San Antonio law firm today for help understanding the laws that apply to your claim.
-
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
The value of your case will depend on many factors. No other case — no matter how similar to your own — will perfectly predict your case’s value.
The following factors will heavily influence your claims’s worth:
- Whether you suffered serious or catastrophic injuries
- The extent of your medical bills and whether you’ll need future medical care
- Your lost earnings and whether your earning capacity might be diminished
- The pain and suffering you’ve experienced after the accident
- Available insurance coverages
- Whether you share fault for the accident
- The strength of your evidence
The best way to determine the value of your case is to consult an experienced personal injury lawyer in San Antonio. Our attorneys can help you calculate the value of your damages and identify your case’s worth overall. We can even bring in experts in medicine, finance, and other disciplines to help us evaluate your losses. Contact us today to schedule a free case review to get started.
-
What if I’m Partially At Fault for My Accident?
You can still recover compensation if you are partially — but not mostly — at fault for your accident. Texas has modified comparative fault laws. You can obtain compensation for your injuries so long as you are 50% or less at fault for the incident. If you are 50% or less responsible for your injuries, your damages will be reduced to account for your share of fault.
For example, if you are determined to be 30% at fault for your accident and the defendant 70% at fault, your award will be reduced by 30%. However, if you are 51% or more at fault (i.e. mostly at fault), you will not be able to recover any compensation.
Insurance companies are notorious for blaming victims for their accidents. Insurers frequently try to use Texas’s comparative fault rules to reduce their liability for an accident. Therefore, you should not take an insurance company at its word they blame your for the accident. Rather, you should contact an experienced lawyer for help understanding your rights.
An injury lawyer in San Antonio can help you assess whether you share fault for an accident — and how much — and protect you from unfounded allegations of comparative fault.
