San Antonio Personal Injury Lawyers Fighting for Your Rights After a Serious Injury in Central Texas

The vibrant city of San Antonio is home to the Alamo and is known for its culture and outdoor adventure. Unfortunately, residents who are seriously injured on the roads or at work cannot enjoy activities like popular river tours or a Spurs basketball game. Instead, accident victims are often overcome with the cost of medical treatment and their inability to work and pay their bills.

Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases in San Antonio, including:

• Car accidents
• Commercial truck collisions
• Motorcycle crashes
• Workplace injuries
• Defective products
• Malpractice and birth injuries

San Antonio had more than 40,000 vehicle crashes in 2023, killing 164 and seriously injuring another 612 people. When crashes involve a commercial vehicle, motorcycle, or pedestrian, injuries are more likely to be catastrophic, changing a victim’s life in seconds.

Texas is also a hot spot for workplace accidents, with 564 fatal work injuries in 2023. Transportation and warehousing, a busy Texas industry, was the top culprit for workplace deaths and injuries. Slip and fall accidents are the most common type of workplace accident that can lead to fractures and head trauma. Other common workplace risks include burns, muscle strains, and exposure to toxic substances.

When you suffer an injury in an accident, you may not know the long-term repercussions of that injury right away. The first step after any accident is to seek medical assistance, even if your injuries don’t seem severe. Documenting your injuries strengthens your case if you pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible party.

Consequences of car crashes, workplace incidents, and other accidents can be severe and may include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal cord damages
• Fractures and amputations
• Lacerations and burns
• Internal injuries

In addition to impacting your ability to work and quality of life, these injuries can be costly. Although costs may vary considerably depending on the extent of an injury, caring for a survivor of a TBI could total between $600,000 and $1.8 million annually. Your Texas attorney understands the high costs of injuries like these and will work to maximize your damages so you have the financial support necessary for your recovery and care.

Because medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care can be expensive, your legal team will fight for your right to all the compensation you deserve under personal injury laws in Texas. Steps to maximize damages might include:

• A thorough investigation of the accident to establish fault and prove negligence
• A careful evaluation of injuries, including long-term ramifications
• An analysis of your lost wages and earning capacity now and in the future
• A determination of all damages, including economic, non-economic, and punitive

More than one party may be responsible for your accident. Since Texas operates under the proportionate responsibility principle, accident victims can pursue damages from all at-fault parties. You can seek compensation from responsible parties even if you were partly at fault for the accident, as long as your amount of responsibility is less than 50%.

If you are injured in a work or vehicle accident, you may feel like life has come to an abrupt halt. You can’t work; all you can think about is healing from your injuries and returning to your normal activities. Let the compassionate professionals at Carabin Shaw fight for your rights so you can focus on your recovery.

We offer our services on a contingency-fee-basis, so you don’t pay anything until you receive your settlement. Contact us now at 800-862-1260.
