Personal Injury

Most personal injury claims are based on the concept of negligence. If a person suffers injuries due to the negligent acts or omissions of another party, the victim may be able to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit. To prove liability due to negligence, the plaintiff and their San Antonio injury attorney must show that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty to act with reasonable care. A court evaluating whether a duty existed will assess numerous factors, such as the foreseeability of the plaintiff’s harm and the burden of preventing the plaintiff’s harm. Once a duty is established, the plaintiff must show that the defendant breached the duty and that the breach proximately caused the plaintiff's injuries. Lastly, the plaintiff must show that he or she suffered actual damages.

Car Accidents

Car accidents often cause significant physical harm and psychological trauma. They can be caused by a variety of factors, of which the most common is negligent driving. A driver may cause a crash by speeding, driving while distracted, driving while intoxicated, or failing to yield at a stop sign or traffic signal. Victims of these accidents need to take action as soon as possible, since they have only two years in which to file a claim. Acting promptly also allows your attorney to start investigating the accident scene as soon as possible so that they can preserve vital evidence. Even if you were partly at fault for a crash, you may be able to recover some damages as long as you were not principally responsible for it.

Truck Accidents

When a commercial truck is involved in an accident, it typically causes disastrous injuries. Commercial truck drivers are required to undergo training prior to driving their trucks, and they must abide by specific rules that govern their industry, in addition to the laws imposed on all other drivers. They must meet minimum requirements regarding training, truck inspections, truck weight, and drive times, and trucking companies also must follow certain rules. If a driver failed to comply with a regulation, an injury attorney in San Antonio can cite this violation as evidence that the driver should be liable. If the driver was working on behalf of a trucking company at the time of the accident, or if the company violated a rule, the company may be liable as well.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents typically lead to more significant injuries than ordinary collisions. An accident may involve another driver striking a motorcycle because they failed to provide a safe following distance. A motorcycle accident also can be caused by a driver entering a lane occupied by a motorcycle or turning left in front of a motorcycle. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by the negligent actions of another driver, you may be able to recover the cost of any medical expenses that you incurred and damages for lost earnings that you sustained due to the accident. You also may be able to recover compensation for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries.

Vaccine Injuries

Flu shots, tetanus shots, and other shots administered in the upper arm can cause shoulder injuries, such as tendonitis, bursitis, and neuropathy, if they are administered improperly. Vaccinations also can cause Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which is a disease affecting the peripheral nervous system, and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, the chronic form of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Additionally, some people who receive vaccinations go into anaphylaxis, which is an extreme allergic reaction that may be life-threatening. If you suffered harm following the administration of a vaccine, you may be able to file a claim in Vaccine Court, seeking damages from the National Vaccine Compensation Program. To present a successful case in Vaccine Court, your San Antonio injury lawyer must prove that you were harmed by a vaccination and that you suffered damages due to your harm.

Products Liability

Defective products can cause devastating injuries, including burns, fractures, and organ failure. If a victim sustains injuries due to a defective product, an injury lawyer in the San Antonio area can help them hold accountable any parties that manufactured and sold the product. Products liability claims can be asserted under multiple theories, including strict liability, negligence, misrepresentation, and breach of warranty. Regardless of the claim asserted, a victim seeking damages in a product liability action must show that the product was defective, and the defect caused his or her harm. A product may be defective due to a design flaw, an error in manufacturing the product, or a failure to warn of the risks associated with the ordinary use of the product.

Criminal Defense

Being charged with a crime may be alarming, but it does not mean that your situation is hopeless. Criminal defendants are afforded numerous rights under the state and federal constitutions, including the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to remain silent, and the right to an attorney. If the State violates a defendant’s rights during a criminal investigation, it may be precluded from using evidence obtained during the investigation against the defendant at trial. A criminal attorney also can investigate whether substantive defenses may apply, such as self-defense or a lack of intent.

Family Law

Family law disputes are often difficult emotionally, and they can be legally complicated as well. For example, if a couple comes to the difficult decision to get a divorce, they may also need to determine how their property should be divided and which arrangement of conservatorship and possession is in the best interests of any children born of the marriage. Regardless of the complexity of the issues, however, family law disputes do not need to be contentious. Many disputes can be resolved via mediation in an efficient and amicable manner.

Business Litigation

Business relationships can deteriorate quickly, and a business may find itself in the difficult position of needing to file a lawsuit to protect its interests or defending against a claim. Many business disputes arise out of a breach of a contract, which requires the party that suffered harm to establish the existence of an enforceable contract, a breach of a material term of the contract, and damages caused by the breach. Business disputes also can arise due to alleged fraud or intellectual property infringement. These lawsuits are often complex, so it is important to retain a sophisticated attorney. Each side may need to conduct extensive discovery and retain one or more experts to support its position.

Real Estate

Although Texas does not require any party in a real estate transaction to retain legal counsel, anyone contemplating buying or selling property should consider seeking the assistance of an experienced attorney. An attorney can assist you in negotiating the terms of the purchase and sale contract and in making sure that the contract contains critical provisions. An attorney also can check the title of the property for any defects to prevent an issue arising during the transfer of title. Real estate attorneys can assist with boundary disputes and commercial leasing issues as well.

Estate Planning

Many people prefer to avoid contemplating what will happen to them if they suffer a decline in their mental or physical health, or what will happen to their assets when they pass away. It is prudent to overcome these apprehensions, however, and engage in estate planning. Estate planning tools, such as wills, powers of attorney, and trusts, offer people peace of mind by allowing them to not only arrange how their property will be disbursed in the event of their death, but also choose the treatment that they wish to receive if they become terminally ill and determine who may exercise decision-making power on their behalf if they become incapacitated.
