Personal Injury Representation in Balcones Heights, TX
We Fight for Maximum Pay After Serious Accidents
When negligence strikes, your world changes instantly. Medical bills pile up, lost wages threaten your stability, and pain impacts every part of your life. At Ried Pecina Trial Lawyers, our Balcones Heights personal injury attorneys move quickly to protect your rights and demand the full compensation you deserve. We prepare every case for trial, not settlement, because insurance companies take us seriously when they know we are ready for court.
Car Accidents in Balcones Heights
Traffic congestion around Loop 410, Fredericksburg Road, and I-10 makes Balcones Heights a hot spot for car wrecks. Rear-end accidents near shopping centers, side-impact crashes around Wonderland of the Americas, and head-on collisions along highway frontage roads leave victims with devastating injuries.
Our lawyers gather police reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements, then take on insurance adjusters who try to minimize your recovery. We pursue compensation for:
- Emergency room and hospital care
- Physical therapy and long-term medical treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Semi-Truck, Big Rig, and Commercial Vehicle Collisions
Crashes with 18-wheelers, big rigs, semi-trucks, dump trucks, and construction vehicles often cause catastrophic injuries. These wrecks are far more complex than car accidents because they involve multiple defendants and insurance layers. Our trucking accident team acts immediately to:
- Preserve black box (ECM) data, GPS logs, and dashcam footage
- Audit driver logbooks for hours-of-service and fatigue violations
- Investigate trucking company maintenance and safety records
- Identify all liable persons, including shippers, brokers, and contractors
With major trucking routes running through Balcones Heights and nearby San Antonio, including I-10, Loop 410, and U.S. 87, our attorneys know the local terrain, common crash sites, and trucking company tactics.
Catastrophic Injuries & Wrongful Death
Some accidents change lives forever. Victims suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord paralysis, amputations, and permanent disabilities. Families face unthinkable grief when a loved one is taken too soon in a fatal accident.
Our wrongful death attorneys in Balcones Heights pursue justice and financial security for surviving family members. We handle funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional suffering caused by preventable tragedies.
Slip & Fall, Workplace Accidents, and Defective Equipment
Balcones Heights businesses and property owners — from shopping centers to apartment complexes — have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When wet floors, broken stairs, or poor lighting cause slip and fall injuries, we prove negligence and fight for accountability.
Construction zones and job sites in Bexar County also present serious risks. Workers hurt by defective equipment, unsafe scaffolding, or negligent contractors deserve strong legal representation. Our lawyers stand up to large employers and insurers who try to avoid responsibility.

Balcones Heights, TX FAQ — Personal Injury & Criminal Defense
What streets in Balcones Heights have the most car accidents?
Many crashes happen on Loop 410 near Fredericksburg Road and along Crossroads Boulevard because of heavy traffic and retail congestion. The intersection near Wonderland of the Americas Mall also sees frequent wrecks. If you are hurt in one of these areas, our attorneys can act fast to secure evidence before it disappears.
What police department handles arrests in Balcones Heights?
The Balcones Heights Police Department, located on Hillcrest Drive, typically makes arrests in the city. However, because Balcones Heights is surrounded by San Antonio, the San Antonio Police Department and Bexar County Sheriff’s Office sometimes become involved. Knowing which agency handled your case is critical in reviewing police reports and challenging errors.
Which hospitals treat accident victims from Balcones Heights?
Most injured residents are taken to Methodist Hospital Metropolitan, University Hospital, or St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital after serious accidents. We work directly with medical providers to secure records, negotiate liens, and make sure your treatment supports your injury claim.
Where will my criminal case be heard if I’m arrested in Balcones Heights?
Although Balcones Heights has its own Municipal Court, most misdemeanor and felony cases are handled at the Bexar County Criminal District Courts in downtown San Antonio. Our defense attorneys know the judges, prosecutors, and procedures in these courts and use that knowledge to your advantage.
What if I’m stopped for DWI on Loop 410 or I-10 near Balcones Heights?
Loop 410 and I-10 run directly through Balcones Heights, and police patrol these areas heavily for suspected drunk driving. If you are stopped, remain calm, provide your license and insurance, and ask to speak with an attorney before answering questions. We regularly defend DWI cases that begin with traffic stops on these highways.
Do Balcones Heights businesses face premises liability claims often?
Yes. With large retail centers like Crossroads Mall (Wonderland of the Americas) and surrounding restaurants and shopping areas, slip and fall claims are common. Property owners must keep walkways, parking lots, and entryways safe. If they fail, they may be liable for your injuries.
How can I get my case started with a Balcones Heights lawyer?
Call (210) 893-0000 anytime. We serve clients across Balcones Heights, including neighborhoods near Hillcrest Drive, Balcones Heights Road, and Fredericksburg Road. We can meet in person or virtually and start building your case immediately.
