Head-on collisions
Head-on collisions: These are among the most severe and life-threatening types of car wrecks, often caused by a range of dangerous driving behaviors or environmental factors. One of the leading causes is distracted driving, where drivers lose focus due to texting, using a phone, or engaging in other distractions while behind the wheel. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is another major contributor, as impaired judgment and slowed reflexes make it easy for drivers to drift into oncoming lanes. Similarly, fatigued driving—especially during long trips or nighttime driving—can result in a driver dozing off or losing control. Speeding and reckless driving are also significant causes, particularly when drivers attempt unsafe maneuvers or lose control at high speeds. A common scenario involves improper passing on two-lane roads, where a driver misjudges the distance of oncoming traffic. Wrong-way driving, often due to confusion or intoxication, is especially dangerous on highways and can lead to devastating collisions.
Car Accidents
Car Accidents: Traffic accidents are a serious concern in San Antonio and its surrounding communities, often resulting in injuries, property damage, and financial stress for those involved. From busy highways like I-35 and Loop 410 to neighborhood streets in areas such as Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, Downtown San Antonio, Leon Valley, and Balcones Heights, collisions can happen anywhere. Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, and failure to yield—especially in high-traffic zones like Medical Center, Westover Hills, and Southside San Antonio. Whether you’re involved in a fender bender in Helotes, a rear-end crash in Windcrest, or a serious accident on a major thoroughfare in Converse or Universal City, it’s important to seek medical care and legal support. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and vehicle repairs. At Ried Pecina Trial Lawyers, we assist clients across the San Antonio metro area, providing 24/7 bilingual legal help and free consultations to guide you through the recovery process.
Rollover Accidents
Rollover Accidents: Rollover wrecks are among the most dangerous and potentially fatal types of car crashes, especially common in SUVs, trucks, and vehicles with a higher center of gravity. These accidents often occur when a driver loses control due to speeding, sharp turns, or sudden swerving to avoid an obstacle. One frequent cause of rollover crashes is overcorrection—when a driver veers off the road and then sharply steers back onto the pavement, causing the vehicle to tip and roll. Uneven road surfaces, soft shoulders, and poor weather conditions like rain or ice can also increase the risk of a rollover. In some cases, rollovers result from collisions with other vehicles or fixed objects, such as guardrails or medians. Tire blowouts and mechanical failures may also contribute, particularly when a vehicle’s suspension or stability system is compromised. Rollover crashes often result in serious injuries, including head trauma, spinal damage, broken bones, and ejection from the vehicle, especially when seat belts are not used. These accidents can be devastating, making it important for injured victims in San Antonio to understand their legal options and pursue full compensation.
Truck Accidents
Truck Accidents: Semi truck crashes in San Antonio are often devastating due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles involved. These crashes frequently occur on major routes like I-10, I-35, Loop 410, and Highway 90, which are heavily trafficked by 18-wheelers and delivery trucks. Areas like Downtown San Antonio, Southside, Windcrest, and Westover Hills often see increased truck traffic, especially near warehouse zones and industrial parks. Common causes of truck accidents include driver fatigue, speeding, overloaded cargo, equipment failure, and distracted or impaired driving. Victims of semi-truck crashes may suffer life-altering injuries and face steep medical bills, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation. If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident in San Antonio or nearby areas like Leon Valley, Stone Oak, or Converse, it’s crucial to work with a legal team experienced in handling commercial vehicle claims. Ried Pecina Trial Lawyers provide 24/7 bilingual legal assistance, free consultations, and dedicated support to help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
Slip And Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents: Premises liability cases involve accidents on someone else’s property. Slip and fall accidents are the most common causes of premises liability claims, so we focus on this type of case.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful deaths: Did you lose a loved one to an accident? We can guide you through a wrongful death claim, so you can keep spending time with your family and grieving, rather than getting lost in legal complexities.
