Auto Accident Lawyers

Our experienced and proactive trial attorneys are skilled in investigating and prosecuting motor vehicle accident claims. We concentrate on serious injuries sustained in car, semi-truck, motorcycle, bus, and pedestrian accidents. Our attorneys are known for their aggressive, proactive litigation techniques and negotiating skills; as a result, they have successfully recovered millions of dollars in judgments and settlements for their clients.

Cases arising from motor vehicle accidents are the most common type of personal injury case in our court system today. Every 10 seconds, someone in the United States is involved in an automobile accident, according to the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA). The law of negligence usually governs these accident cases. Generally, people who operate automobiles must exercise "reasonable care. A failure to use reasonable care is considered negligence. A person who negligently operates a vehicle may be required to pay for harm to a person or property caused by his or her negligence. The injured person, known as the plaintiff, must prove that the defendant was negligent, that the negligence caused the accident, and that the accident caused the plaintiff's injuries. If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, do not hesitate to seek legal counsel from a personal injury attorney experienced in car accident cases to protect your interests best.

As with other types of accidents, figuring out who is at fault in a traffic crash is a matter of deciding who was negligent. Determining who is at fault can be complicated, and an experienced attorney will look to several sources, such as police reports, witnesses, and experienced accident reconstruction experts.

Courts look to several factors in determining whether a driver was negligent. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

disobeying traffic signs or signals
failing to use a turn signal
driving too fast
disregarding weather or traffic conditions
driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
distracted driving

A driver may also be liable for an accident due to intentional or reckless conduct. A reckless driver drives unsafely, with "willful and wanton disregard" for the probability that such driving may cause an accident.

Traffic safety and law enforcement organizations are renewing efforts to identify and penalize aggressive drivers. The NHTSA defines aggressive driving as a progression of unlawful driving actions such as:

speeding-exceeding the posted limit
driving too fast for conditions
improper or excessive lane changing
failing to signal intent
failing to see that movement can be made safely
improper passing-failing to signal intent
using an emergency lane to pass
passing on the shoulder.

Every 30 minutes, someone in this country dies in an alcohol-related crash. In a lawsuit arising from a drunk driving accident (in addition to the drunk driver being held liable for the injuries), a bar or club may be liable for damages if they served an intoxicated guest who drove and caused an accident. An experienced personal injury trial attorney can help you identify who might be responsible for your injuries, including people or businesses you may not have thought of.

Sometimes accidents are caused by factors unrelated to any particular driver's conduct. For example, an automobile accident may occur due to a defect in someone's car. In such a case, an automobile manufacturer or supplier may be responsible for injuries caused by a defect in the automobile under the law of product liability. Other factors, such as poorly-maintained roads and malfunctioning traffic control signals, can also contribute to causing an accident. Improper design, maintenance, construction, signage, lighting, or other highway defects, including negligently placed trees, signs, and utility poles, can cause serious accidents. In these cases, government entities may be potential defendants in a lawsuit. For more information about your legal rights following an accident, contact our Law Firm to schedule a free consultation.

San Antonio Construction Defects - Street Collapse

Some of the more common problems on roadways and private roads include the following:

Street Collapse

A street collapse can be the result of a builder not taking into consideration the type of soil he is building on. Soil can be either expansive or collapsing, both of which will cause movement and the potential collapse of a street. This street collapse can also be caused by a nearby hill or mountain that has a mudslide or that has eroded land under or next to the street. A builder or developer needs to properly analyze the land where a street or roadway will be built before it is built. With this assessment, a builder will know what construction strategies to implement.

Sinkholes

A sinkhole is caused by a collapse of a cavern roof. It is a natural indentation of the land surface that connects to a passage that is underground. These collapsed sinkholes can grow to be very deep and wide within hours and sometimes minutes. These are quite rare, however. Sinkholes generally occur in limestone. The damages a sinkhole can inflict on your property are serious. The problem never gets better, only worse. Some effects of sinkholes can include but are not limited to cracks in windows or doors, doors that are hard to close, deep separation of concrete walks, or sediment in your water.

Utility Failures (downed/broken lines)

Utility failures in downed or broken lines occur because of natural causes such as weather or by human negligence. When an underground line is broken it takes longer to detect and is extremely costly to repair. These utility failures with broken or downed lines can adversely affect a home or building by disrupting telecommunication services, cable services, or electrical services. As you can imagine, the damage caused by utility failures can be as simple as the loss of power for an hour causing minimal damages, to an extended loss of power causing personal injury and/or damage to personal items in the home.

Erosion

Erosion occurs when material from the Earth is transported via stream flows, coastline, or hill slope. It is a gradual wearing away of the land. Factors such as wind or water can provide the force needed to start this erosion process. Erosion can affect the shaping of land surfaces or the quantity of material built upon the land surface. Water is one of the most significant natural factors in the process of erosion. Although a certain amount of erosion is natural, erosion is sometimes increased by poor construction actions and can be decreased by using proper techniques such as tree planting.

Landslides and Falling Rocks

Landslides and falling rocks can be described as a measurable plane of land that has slipped resulting in falling rocks. It can turn into a pretty steady flow as the block of land gains momentum down the slope. Steep slopes are susceptible to landslide occurrences, but they occur in almost any environment. They can be caused by an earthquake and by construction, specifically road construction. Falling rocks will result when the landslide moves the debris or soil that covered the rock. This exposes the rock allowing it to tumble along with the landslide or on its own time, sometimes after the landslide has occurred.

Damages from street collapse, sinkholes, utility failure (downed/broken lines), erosion, or landslides, and falling rocks to roadways and private roads can be serious. Without proper expertise regarding these defects, a resolution to these issues can be time-consuming and costly. Do not try to take care of these issues on your own.
