Trusted San Antonio car accident attorneys fighting for the compensation you deserve after a collision.
Next Steps
What to Do After A Car Accident In San Antonio
The moments after a car accident are overwhelming, but the steps you take directly after can have a big impact if you decide to take legal action. . First, seek medical attention even if you feel fine, some injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with the other driver, and file a police report. Most importantly, avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting with a car accident lawyer. Insurance companies often try to minimize your claim or get you to accept a low settlement. Our San Antonio car accident attorneys can protect your rights from day one and help you pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in San Antonio, and the legal process that follows can be just as painful as the accident itself. At CO Injury Law, our car accident attorneys handle every aspect of your case. From investigating the crash and gathering evidence to negotiating with insurers and, when necessary, taking your case to trial. We’ve helped hundreds of clients recover compensation for totaled vehicles, mounting medical bills, and time missed from work. If you’ve been hurt in a collision, you don’t have to face it alone.

Your Case
Understanding Your Car Accident Case
Every car accident case is different, but the process doesn’t have to be confusing. Watch our short explainer to learn how our San Antonio car accident lawyers guide you from your first free consultation all the way through settlement or trial.
If you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you likely have a case. This includes being hit by a distracted driver, rear-ended at a stoplight, or involved in a collision caused by a reckless or impaired driver. A free consultation with our team can help you understand your options.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
Texas law requires drivers to carry insurance, but not everyone does. If you’re hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own policy or other legal avenues. Our attorneys can walk you through the process.
How much is my car accident case worth?
The value of your case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost income, and the impact on your daily life. Our San Antonio car accident lawyers evaluate every detail to pursue the maximum amount for your claim.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
No. Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to say things that can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Let your attorney handle all communication with insurance companies to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
The statute of limitations for car accident claims in Texas is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, it’s best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible so evidence can be preserved and your case can be built early.
