A San Antonio personal injury firm built for trial.

San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing large cities in the country, and its traffic toll reflects it. Bexar County records tens of thousands of crashes each year, with roughly 160 fatal crashes and 83 pedestrian deaths in a recent year. The city sits at the crossroads of Interstate 35 and Interstate 10, two of the busiest freight corridors in Texas, which adds heavy commercial truck traffic to an already congested system.

Silver Key Law represents injured people throughout the area, and we prepare every case as if a jury will decide it. We are licensed in Texas and serve clients in the area by phone, video, and appointment. You pay no attorney's fee and no case costs unless we win.

Dangerous roads in the area

Many of the most serious San Antonio-area crashes happen on a handful of high-speed, high-volume corridors:

Interstate 35 — the NAFTA freight corridor running from Laredo through San Antonio, carrying heavy truck traffic.
Interstate 10 and Interstate 37 — major high-speed routes through the city.
Loop 410 and Loop 1604 — the beltways ringing the metro, with frequent merging crashes.
US-281 — a fast-moving north-side commuter corridor.
Surface streets like Bandera Road and Fredericksburg Road.

How we help injured people here

We investigate quickly, preserve the evidence, document your injuries and losses, and handle the insurance companies so you can focus on healing. We take the full range of serious injury cases:

Where injury cases here are filed

Most personal injury lawsuits here are filed in the Bexar County District Courts. Surrounding counties such as Comal and Guadalupe may apply depending on where the crash happened, and certain matters may be heard in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. We handle the procedural details for you.

Texas injury law in brief

Texas law shapes every injury case here. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule: an injured person can recover only if they are 50% or less at fault, with recovery reduced by their share of responsibility. The general statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury, and claims against government entities carry much shorter notice deadlines. Texas also follows the "paid or incurred" rule for medical expenses. Because these deadlines are strict and evidence disappears quickly, contact a lawyer promptly. This is general information, not legal advice about your specific situation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a San Antonio personal injury lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We handle injury cases here on a contingency fee — no attorney's fee unless we obtain a recovery, and no case costs or expenses if there is no recovery. The consultation is free.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in San Antonio?

In Texas, the general deadline is two years from the date of injury, and shorter for claims against a government entity. Because the exact deadline depends on the facts, contact a lawyer promptly.

Do I have to come to an office in San Antonio?

No. We are licensed in Texas and serve clients in the area by phone, video conference, and appointment. We work in whatever format is easiest for you.

What if I was partly at fault for a local crash?

You may still recover. Texas allows an injured person who is 50% or less at fault to recover, with the award reduced by their share. The insurer has every reason to overstate your fault, which is a key reason to have a lawyer building your case.
