Fighting for Injury Survivors in San Antonio and the Surrounding Communities

We represented a visually impaired homeless man who was confused and sitting down with his bicycle in the entrance to a large business complex near downtown San Antonio. He was struck by an 18 wheeler and suffered a below the knee amputation to his right leg. Witnesses at the scene said our client was intoxicated and placed himself under the truck before it ran over him. The investigating officer blamed our client for not having reflective gear on his bicycle. The trucking company and the business complex said our client should not have been sitting in the entrance to the complex. It was only after we filed suit that we were able to discover that the 80 year old truck driver who ran over our client had significant vision problems and the gate guard stationed at the entrance to the business complex was playing games on his cell phone instead of assisting our client to safety. With the proceeds of the settlement, our client was able to purchase his first home.

A young man lost control of his truck and slammed into the driver’s side of our client’s car, which rolled over five times before coming to a rest. As a result of the wreck, our client suffered a neck injury and an aggravation to a prior back injury. Our client could not return to his job as a car salesman after this car wreck and was determined to be permanently disabled. He tried to implant spinal cord stimulators in his spine and had multiple neck surgeries to try to relieve his unrelenting pain.

While stopped in traffic on IH-35, our client was rear ended by an 18-wheeler and shoved into the rear of another 18-wheeler that was stopped ahead of him.  Our client suffered a neck injury, a shoulder injury that required surgery, and a traumatic brain injury.  We were able to discover that the driver responsible for the accident had received insufficient training by his employer prior to the wreck.

A negligent driver rear ended a vehicle that was then pushed into the rear of our client’s vehicle while he was stopped at a stop light in Burleson, Texas.  Our client suffered injuries to his knee and back, and had eventually had surgery to both areas.  Prior to the hiring of our firm, the insurance company for the at fault driver offered only $500.00 to try and settle the case.

Our client was in traffic on IH-10 and wanted to change lanes.  He was waved over by the driver of an 18-wheeler who gave him space to complete the lane change.  However, as the lane change was completed, the driver of the 18-wheeler unexpectedly rammed into the back of our client’s vehicle.  The impact resulted in a severe shoulder injury that necessitated surgery.  We were able to obtain a favorable settlement when the negligent driver refused to participate fully in the litigation.

Our clients were rear ended by an 18-wheeler and suffered back injuries and shoulder injuries. It was only after digging through the files of the trucking company that we were able to determine that the driver had prior safety violations like driving with defective tail lights and failing to perform a pre-trip inspection that caused a fire. He should have never been behind the wheel that day.

Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury and a back injury that required surgery when an 18-wheeler struck him from behind as traffic slowed on the freeway. The driver of the 18-wheeler tried to blame our client when asked what happened at the scene of the accident. When we later took the driver’s deposition, she changed her story. The data retrieved from the 18-wheeler revealed that she was traveling 8 miles per hour above the speed limit in the moments leading up to the crash.

While lawfully riding his bicycle, our client was struck from behind and thrown to the pavement. The driver who caused the wreck tried to downplay the impact and claim our client could not have been hurt, but we found gas station surveillance footage and a witness which proved otherwise.

Our client slipped and fell on a slippery substance containing gold glitter. She hit her head on the ground and injured her back. While our client was injured on the ground, two employees were arguing over who should have cleaned up the substance prior to her fall.

Our client was hit by a driver with no insurance and had to make a claim with her own insurance company to cover medical expenses related to a neck injury caused by the crash. Our client’s own insurance company made a maximum offer of $7,000.00 to settle the case, so we took the case to trial and obtained a jury verdict of $86,500.00.

Our client was rear ended by a large construction vehicle while parked on the side of the road. Our investigation into the wreck revealed that the driver of the construction vehicle was not paying attention because he was on his cell phone having an argument with his wife.

Our client slipped in some algae that had accumulated behind the main office of a local self storage facility.  She aggravated her prior back condition and suffered a new left shoulder injury, both of which required surgery.  The on-site manager had been in the area where the algae had accumulated over five times prior to this incident and never placed out any warning cones or told our client to watch out for the slippery algae.

Our client was operating a construction vehicle on the freeway when he was rear ended by an 18 wheeler. Despite the defense arguing that this was a low impact collision and that our client had pre-existing injuries, we pushed the case to the eve of trial before agreeing to a favorable settlement.

Our investigation revealed that the driver that caused this accident intentionally ran a red light and T-boned our client’s car. Our client sought medical opinions from multiple doctors before finding one who matched her vision for treatment and recovery. After a lumbar surgery and rehabilitation, our client was able to enjoy her life like she used to before the accident.

Our client was rear ended at an intersection. She suffered a broken tailbone and a back injury that required surgery. What was most difficult for our client, though, was navigating the loss of income for six months when she was forced to go on short term disability. Even though she had a long recovery, we were able to recover all of the available insurance money without needing to file a lawsuit and further delay a resolution.

Our client was an employee of a pawn shop and was asked by his supervisor to use a defective step stool to hang a bicycle from a ceiling storage hook. As our client stood on the defective step stool and reached to hang the bicycle, the step stool folded underneath him, causing him to fall and drop the bicycle on his leg. He sustained a fracture of his left tibia and fibula that required surgery along with the insertion of a metal rod to secure the broken bones. We found two prior employees who both testified they told the pawn shop supervisor that the step stool was dangerous and that it should have been thrown away weeks before our client fell. The pawn shop also admitted they had a store policy requiring employees to avoid using the defective step stool unless it was stabilized during use by another employee.
