San Antonio Rear-End Collision Lawyer

After an incident near I-35 or I-35 and I-10 interchange (downtown San Antonio) in San Antonio, seek immediate medical care at a trauma center such as University Hospital (Level I Trauma Center). Whiplash and cervical strain is a common outcome in these cases and requires prompt evaluation. Preserve evidence at the scene, photograph your injuries and the location, and consult an experienced attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster.

The Bexar district courts have civil jurisdiction over personal injury actions, and the case would most likely be filed at Bexar County Courthouse, 100 Dolorosa St, San Antonio, TX 78205. From filing through trial, our firm runs cases in front of these judges on a regular basis. That continuity matters when it comes to scheduling, evidentiary rulings, and the timing of settlement negotiations.

Patients with serious injuries in San Antonio are typically routed to University Hospital (Level I Trauma Center), San Antonio Military Medical Center (Brooke Army Medical Center, Level I Trauma Center), and Methodist Hospital Metropolitan, depending on the nature of the trauma and the time of day. Whiplash and cervical strain, Herniated discs in the cervical and lumbar spine, and Concussions from head striking the headrest or steering wheel are among the diagnoses these facilities see most often in cases like this one. The hospital you start at also shapes the paper trail, so when there is a choice, it is worth knowing which centers carry the specialty teams that match the injury.
