Everyone needs someone to count on during difficult times. If you have been injured in a car accident in San Antonio, we want you to know that we are here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Every year, thousands of crashes happen on San Antonio’s busiest roads like I-35, Loop 410, and I-10. Victims often leave the scene with more than vehicle damage. They face ER bills, weeks of lost wages, and insurance companies that push back with lowball offers.
At Cesar Ornelas Law, our San Antonio car accident lawyers fight to make sure you get the full compensation you deserve — not just what the insurer wants to pay. We’re available 24/7 for free consultations, and we only get paid if you win.
Insurance adjusters are trained to protect company profits, not accident victims. Without legal help, you risk:
Hiring an attorney levels the playing field. We know Texas insurance law, Bexar County courts, and the tactics insurers use in car accident claims.
You should call a San Antonio car accident lawyer immediately after medical care. Situations where legal help is critical include:
Bottom line: the sooner you involve a lawyer, the stronger your case becomes.
We guide clients through every stage of a claim:
This approach consistently results in larger settlements and verdicts compared to going it alone.
Follow these steps to protect both your health and your legal rights:
1) Get medical attention — even if you feel fine (delayed injuries are common).
2) Call SAPD to file a police report.
3) Document the scene with photos and witness contacts.
4) Notify your insurance company, but avoid detailed statements.
5) Contact a car accident lawyer before signing or agreeing to anything.
Taking these steps ensures evidence is preserved and prevents insurers from using your own words against you.
Texas law allows victims to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Common recoveries include:
Importantly, Texas does not cap pain and suffering damages in car accident cases.
Most San Antonio car accident cases settle out of court, but that doesn’t mean the first offer is fair. Insurance companies often start low, betting you’ll take quick money. Our lawyers fight until we secure the maximum amount available under Texas law.
Victims include not only drivers, but also:
If you were hurt in any type of vehicle collision, you likely have a case worth pursuing.
Our firm knows San Antonio. We’ve represented crash victims injured on:
We also work closely with University Hospital and other local medical providers to ensure your injuries are fully documented for your claim.
We proudly serve clients in San Antonio, El Paso, Midland, Odessa, Laredo, Hobbs, and Carlsbad.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident in San Antonio, don’t wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses move on, and insurers move fast to limit your payout.

How much does it cost to hire a San Antonio car accident lawyer?
Nothing upfront. At Cesar Ornelas Law, we work on a contingency fee. That means we only get paid if we win your case.
Settlements vary widely. Minor crashes may recover a few thousand dollars, while serious injury cases can reach six or seven figures. Factors include medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.
The Texas statute of limitations is two years from the date of the crash. Waiting too long can permanently bar you from recovering compensation.
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages — but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
You may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage or by suing the at-fault driver directly. A lawyer can review your options.
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, but those involving severe injuries or disputed liability may take a year or more.
