San Antonio Personal Injury Lawyers

Every vehicle and driver are required by Texas law to be covered by insurance. This is in place so that if you are hurt in an auto accident that wasn’t your fault, you can claim compensation from the responsible driver’s insurance for things like:

• Past and Future Medical Bills,
• Pain and Suffering,
• Lost Wages,
• Property Damage,
• Mental Anguish,
• Wrongful Death,
• And More.

Auto accidents affect innocent victims across Texas every day, caused by stupid mistakes like:

• Failure to yield at an intersection,
• Texting while driving,
• Drunk drivers/driving under the influence,
• Fatigued drivers,
• And reckless driving.

You should never have to pay for an auto accident that wasn’t your fault. If you were injured in a Texas auto accident, call Shaw at 800-862-1260 today.

Passenger vehicles don’t stand a chance against the immense size and weight of large trucks and 18-wheelers – as a result, victims in smaller vehicles often suffer catastrophic injuries.

18-wheeler and large truck accidents are almost always the result of the negligence of the truck driver or trucking company. Truck drivers must not only follow the rules of the road but also obey special rules developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Texas regulatory authorities. In some cases, you can hold a truck driver negligent per se (negligent as a matter of law) if they violated a regulation.

For example, trucking companies must perform thorough background checks and properly train employees. They must regularly check logs to ensure their drivers are adhering to regulations. They cannot pressure them to take unsafe action, violate regulations, or drive recklessly to meet deadlines.

Unfortunately, trucking companies have perpetrated these reprehensible actions for years, putting you and other innocent victims at risk.

You need help if you’re going to stand against the might of a trucking company. If you were hurt in a trucking or 18-wheeler accident in Texas, call Shaw at 800-862-1260.

Motorcyclists face a greater risk of serious injuries than other motorists in an accident.

Unfortunately, there are social stigmas against motorcyclists in Texas. Drivers often don’t accept that motorcyclists have the same rights and privileges as other drivers on the roads. Even insurance companies have been known to try to find the motorcyclist at fault to lessen the value of the claim.

If you were hit by another motorist while riding your motorcycle in Texas, call Shaw at 800-862-1260 to ensure that fault stays where it belongs.

More and more company vehicles are flooding the roads of Texas, putting drivers at risk.

If you were injured by a company vehicle (a.k.a., a commercial vehicle), the legal process is slightly more complicated than in a normal accident. Compensation may come from multiple parties, including:

• The driver,
• The company,
• Vehicle maintenance companies,
• Third-party acquisition companies,
• And others.

Commercial vehicle companies are required to follow certain regulations that are not necessary for other drivers. For example, companies must perform thorough background checks and properly train their employees. They cannot pressure them to take unsafe actions like speeding to meet deadlines or taking phone calls while driving.

Going up against a company alone is not recommended. They have entire teams dedicated to defending them against liability when their drivers cause accidents. You can have a team backing you up too.

Don’t take a reduced settlement for an accident that wasn’t your fault. Our commercial vehicle accident attorneys have stood up for innocent victims against commercial companies in Texas for over 31 years. Call Shaw at 800-862-1260 for your commercial vehicle accident injury.

Over 3,000 people die in auto accidents across Texas every year.

When you lose a close family member in an accident due to a wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, or unskillfulness of someone else, Texas law allows you to bring a wrongful death claim. Family members who qualify to bring a wrongful death claim include:

• Husbands/wives,
• Children,
• And Parents.

You are allowed to bring this claim, individually or as a family, even if the perpetrator faces a criminal trial for the accident.

Gaining financial compensation for your loss won’t make you whole again. But you deserve justice and the peace of mind that comes from knowing the perpetrator who took your family from you was held responsible.

If your loved one was killed in an accident in Texas, call Shaw’s Wrongful Death attorneys for immediate legal assistance at 800-862-1260.

Workplace injuries in Texas can be complicated.

Usually, if you are injured at work, you would need to file a Worker’s Compensation Claim under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act. However, not all employers in Texas have Worker’s Compensation Coverage.

If you were injured at work and your employer has Worker’s Compensation Coverage, our attorneys can help you file your claim and negotiate on your behalf. Call Shaw at 800-862-1260 to get started.

If your employer does not carry Worker’s Compensation Coverage, then you must file a personal injury claim against them, similar to if you had been injured in an auto accident. Our personal injury attorneys can offer free legal advice on your best option and help you file your claim. Call Shaw at 800-862-1260 to get started today.

Additionally, workplace injuries are not always the fault of the employer. This is especially true in construction work. Injuries may be the combined fault of many parties, including:

• Other workers,
• Employers,
• Contractors,
• Subcontractors,
• Suppliers,
• Equipment manufacturers,
• And developers.

In such cases, having an experienced workplace injury attorney on your side is a critical tool in securing compensation. Carabin Shaw’s law firm has access to extensive resources to conduct thorough investigations and is well-versed in the law to secure maximum compensation for our clients.

If you were injured at work in Texas, call Shaw at 800-862-1260 for immediate assistance today.

Some injuries have long-lasting or permanent effects on the victim.

Catastrophic injuries include things like:

• Brain Injuries,
• Spinal Cord Injuries,
• Extreme Burns,
• Disfigurement,
• Crushing Injuries,
• Internal Organ Damage,
• Amputations,
• And Complex Fractures,

Injuries like these commonly occur as a result of auto accidents, sports accidents, workplace accidents, and motorcycle accidents.

Victims of catastrophic injury often lose their jobs or become unable to enjoy their hobbies. They often suffer through multiple surgeries, extensive rehabilitation, and long-term treatment. The most unfortunate suffer a life-long disability.
