Burn Injury
Getting hurt in a crash on I-10, Loop 1604, or any Bexar County and across Texas roadways creates immediate problems: hospital bills, insurance pressure, vehicle damage, and lost paychecks. What happens in the first 48 hours often determines if you get fair compensation or end up paying out of pocket for someone else’s mistake.

Our office at 9901 I-10, Suite 1040, San Antonio, TX 78230 keeps us close to Bexar County courthouses and the local agencies controlling crash investigations.
We know this area inside out. We know which intersections see the most collisions. We know how SAPD documents crashes differently than Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. We know the tactics insurance companies use based on where accidents happen.
That local experience creates real advantages: connections with the right accident reconstruction experts, relationships with medical providers who treat our clients fairly, and a reputation with judges and opposing lawyers. When you hire Thompson Law, you’re getting people who understand how things actually work in Bexar County courts. Call us anytime at (210) 880-6020.
Texas law allows recovery for:
Economic damages (financial losses):
Non-economic damages (personal impact):
Punitive damages (rare cases):
Only in extreme situations: drunk driving, intentional harm. Designed to punish wrongdoing.
What you actually receive depends on your specific injuries, medical evidence, and available insurance.
Results tell the real story. Thompson Law has secured substantial verdicts and settlements for people catastrophically injured or killed in vehicle crashes across Texas:
Every case is unique. Past results don’t guarantee future outcomes. But our track record demonstrates our commitment to fighting for maximum compensation.
Minor accidents with quick recovery and cooperative insurance? You probably don’t need us.
But if you’re dealing with ER visits, ongoing medical treatment, missed work, arguments about fault, commercial vehicles, or insurance pressure to give statements or settle quickly, you need protection. Lawyers prevent insurance companies from playing games, secure video evidence before automatic deletion, and calculate what your case is actually worth instead of what adjusters want to pay.
Insurance companies depend on mistakes: treatment delays, appointment gaps, recorded statements you regret later. We prevent those errors so they can’t be used to reduce your settlement.
We build every case like a jury will decide it. That means thorough investigation, expert witnesses, comprehensive evidence gathering, and genuine readiness for court. Insurance companies know we’re serious. That’s why they pay more when we’re involved.
We explain what’s happening, what comes next, and what to expect. No legal terminology that confuses you. And you never pay unless we win.
Auto collisions take countless forms. Here’s what brings injured drivers to our office:
Don’t minimize injuries. See a doctor immediately. Medical documentation protects both your health and legal rights before insurance discussions begin.
Tell us what happened. We’ll review everything you have (photos, police reports, medical bills) and give you honest answers about where you stand and what happens next.
Most clients handle everything remotely through phone, video, or online. We come to you if you’re stuck at home or hospitalized. Ninety-five percent of our clients sign up from their phones.
The moment you hire us, we move. Police reports, witness interviews, scene photography, and video preservation requests happen fast before evidence vanishes (most cameras automatically delete footage after one to two weeks).
Bexar County cases need specific documentation from SAPD, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, or Texas Highway Patrol. We know exactly what to request and how to move quickly.
Investigation priorities:
Adjusters will try contacting you immediately. They want you to say something they can use to deny or reduce your claim. Don’t engage with them. Let us handle every conversation.
Insurance uses calculated tactics: friendly-sounding recorded interviews, quick settlement offers that seem generous. We know every trick. We decide what gets said and when.
Never sign documents or agree to anything without our review first. Once you settle, it’s final even if you later discover it wasn’t nearly enough.
You’ll receive regular updates, but we won’t bury you in legal paperwork or jargon. If insurance refuses fair payment, we file lawsuits and go to court. Our trial lawyers have genuine courtroom experience, and we’re not intimidated.
Most cases settle once insurance realizes we’re serious. But we’re always prepared to take it all the way if needed.
I-10, I-35, I-37, Loop 410, Loop 1604, and US-281 see the highest collision rates. Construction zones, heavy congestion, and complicated merges create ideal conditions for serious accidents. When crashes occur on these corridors, rapid evidence gathering (photos, witness statements, video) makes the difference between winning and losing.
Traffic congestion, work zones, and confusing interchanges make fault determination harder. Quick action matters more than anything else.
Federal Highway Administration data identifies these intersections as having consistently elevated crash volumes:
Crashes at these locations often involve disputed fault due to complex traffic patterns, signal timing, and lane configurations. Early investigation and expert analysis become critical.
Knowing where to go after a collision saves time and prevents claim delays:
Getting checked out quickly helps protect your health and creates the documentation insurers look for.
Three elements win cases: official police reports, clear photos/videos with witness information, and thorough medical records showing initial injuries plus ongoing treatment. Video disappears fast and any treatment gap gives insurance ammunition to lowball your settlement. Early documentation and consistent care are everything.
Police reports matter. Who responded (SAPD, Bexar County Sheriff, state troopers) affects how crashes get documented and what information becomes available.
Filing location matters. Most cases proceed through Bexar County courts, but jurisdiction affects timelines, procedures, and case duration.
Medical records win cases. X-rays, physician notes, prescriptions, and regular appointments prove injury severity and associated costs.
Get these right from day one and you’re protected against false fault claims, treatment gap arguments, and lowball settlement offers. Unsure what you need? We’ll explain during your free case review.
Texas provides two years from the crash date to file lawsuits. Miss that deadline and you lose your right to sue completely. Some situations involve different rules (government entity claims particularly), but two years is standard.
Law reference: Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003
Texas applies “modified comparative negligence” with a 51% bar. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover money, but your amount gets reduced by your fault percentage. If you’re 51% or more at fault, you receive nothing.
Example: You’re 30% at fault with $100,000 in damages. You recover $70,000.
Law reference: Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001
Texas requires drivers to maintain:
These minimums rarely cover serious crash costs. We pursue every available policy: umbrella coverage, underinsured motorist protection on your policy, anything accessible.
Insurance companies watch for these errors. Avoid them:

Texas generally provides two years from the crash date. Some situations shorten that deadline (government entity claims especially), so get guidance early.
Yes. Texas uses a 51% rule. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can still recover, but your amount gets reduced by your fault percentage.
No. Don’t. Anything you say can be used against you. Let us handle all insurance communication.
Use your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if you have it. We can also investigate to find other recovery sources.
Yes. Many physicians treat crash patients on a “lien” basis (they wait for payment until your case settles). We can also connect you with providers understanding the process.
Through combinations of your health insurance, medical payments coverage (MedPay) on your auto policy, lien arrangements with providers, and ultimately your settlement or verdict.
Depends entirely on your situation. Simple cases with minor injuries and clear fault can wrap up in months. Complex cases with serious injuries or disputed liability can take a year or longer.
Depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, available insurance coverage, and how the crash occurred. Free case review provides realistic expectations.
Probably not. Most settle before trial. But if insurance won’t pay fairly, we’ll absolutely go to court. Having lawyers ready to try cases is exactly what makes insurance take you seriously.
Yes, through the at-fault driver’s property damage liability coverage or your collision coverage (though you’ll pay your deductible first with potential reimbursement later).
Stay at the scene, create safety, call police, exchange information, document everything, get medical care, and contact us before insurance.
Economic (medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, expenses) and non-economic (pain, suffering, emotional distress, disability). Punitive damages in extreme cases.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency (you pay only if we win). Free consultation, zero hourly fees, no surprise bills.
Absolutely. Anywhere in the greater metro area or throughout Bexar County.
