Personalized Service After A Devastating Automobile Injury

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of injuries and deaths in Texas, along with falls and physical violence. Each day, negligent motorists are responsible for accidents that result in broken bones, whiplash, scarring and disfigurement, and chronic pain, changing the lives of injury victims forever.

At The Law Offices of Miller & Bicklein, P.C., in San Antonio, we have been representing injured Texans and the families of wrongful death victims since 1994. Our lawyers combine tremendous resources and experience with attentive service focused on the unique needs of our clients. We also offer free initial consultations so that you can explore your legal options without cost or obligation. To claim yours, just give us a call at 866-872-4710.

Standing Up For The Rights Of Car Accident Victims

We handle claims stemming from a broad range of car accidents, including rear-end accidents, head-on collisions, T-bone accidents and rollover accidents. We focus on identifying the needs of our clients, including the need for future rehabilitation, home modifications, in-home care, and other costs associated with car wreck injuries such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries and other types of serious injuries.

It is important to focus your efforts after an accident on recovering from your injuries and getting your life back together. You can rely on our attorneys to pursue compensation for all applicable damages related to the crash, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability and property damage/loss. Let our team handle your legal issues, including interactions with the insurance company. While the negligent driver who struck you may have caused your injuries, their insurance company will be the primary legal opponent and will be the party paying the settlement or jury award. The insurer’s goal is to resolve your claim as cheaply as possible, but we will work tirelessly to help you obtain full and fair compensation.

Offering Aggressive Representation For Claims Involving Drunk Or Distracted Drivers

Car, truck and motorcycle crashes have a wide variety of causes, but two are especially prevalent: Drunk driving and distracted driving. Despite harsh criminal laws and public safety campaigns, driving under the influence (DUI) remains a pervasive problem in Texas and nationwide. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, an average of three people per day are killed in DUI crashes statewide. Countless others suffer serious injuries.

While many people would never knowingly drive drunk, too many Texans engage in behavior that can be nearly as dangerous: Distracted driving. Whether it’s texting while driving, applying makeup or interacting with the vehicle’s “infotainment” system, these actions greatly increase the risk of a serious or fatal crash. Even professional drivers engage in distracting activities – sometimes by necessity. Commercial truck drivers are often required to stay in constant communication with dispatchers throughout their trip. The combination of distractions caused by this equipment and reaction delays caused by drowsy driving creates the perfect conditions for a serious truck accident.

Common Mistakes People Make After Car Accidents

After a car accident, what you do or fail to do can significantly impact your legal rights. Unfortunately, many individuals make errors that could harm their accident claim. Here are three examples:

1. Skipping emergency medical care: Car accident injuries may not appear immediately, especially with late-onset injuries like whiplash and traumatic brain injury. A doctor can rule out or confirm injuries and provide you with powerful medical evidence for your claim.
2. Forgetting to exchange insurance information: Texas is an at-fault accident state, meaning you file your claim with the other motorist’s auto insurance carrier. Do not let the other driver slip away without getting their name, contact information and insurance details. Call the San Antonio police department to report the accident.
3. Making formal statements: Insurance companies are for-profit businesses that prioritize their interests over yours. Avoid giving written or recorded statements about the accident and your injuries. The insurer may exploit your words to deny your claim or reduce its value.

Not seeing a lawyer after suffering severe or catastrophic injuries in a crash is another mistake and it could threaten your compensation.

Where Do Most Accidents Happen In San Antonio?

San Antonio roads can be treacherous, and some areas are more hazardous than others.

Notably, Culebra Road from Loop 410 to General McMullen Drive has been a hotspot for traffic incidents, seeing 50 fatal accidents in the last decade. This alarming statistic prompted a $18 million grant for road improvements to enhance safety.

Three other dangerous conduits include:

1. Interstate Highway 410 (I-410): Thousands of accidents along the path to the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park occur annually.
2. Interstate Highway 35 (I-35): Despite the nearby serenity and peace of the Japanese Tea Garden, many car accidents happen along this highway.
3. State Highway Loop No. 1604: Looping San Antonio and providing access to SeaWorld and other attractions, this highway experiences many car accidents.
