Through diligent investigation of the details of the accident, our attorneys will determine who is at fault and who should repay you for your losses.

Following a collision, both your insurance company and the company of the at-fault party will contact you to review the facts pertaining to the accident. It is important to note that insurance companies do not advocate for your interests. Oftentimes, an insurance adjuster will undervalue your losses to payout the lowest possible amount. This is when seeking legal advice from an expert becomes detrimental.

Do not let insurance companies defraud you when it comes to reimbursement. Our San Antonio car accident lawyers are skilled negotiators dedicated to advocating for your rights.

In Texas, all motorists are required to purchase an insurance policy to protect their losses as well as the victim’s in case of a collision. Unfortunately, this legal requirement is not always upheld by many drivers across our state.

Sometimes the driver held liable for your damages will be uninsured or underinsured, which means they do not have a policy that will cover your losses or do not have enough coverage to do so. If this is the case, you are limited to two options:

1. Seek benefits from your own insurance if your policy includes uninsured/underinsured vehicle protection or
2. Directly file a lawsuit against the uninsured driver at fault

Resorting to either of these options adds to the stress and complexity of dealing with a car wreck. A personal injury attorney can help you navigate your way through this burdensome situation. Our attorneys are prepared not just to negotiate a settlement but also aggressively litigate your case in court if necessary.
