Motor vehicle accidents are often due to the negligence of a vehicle driver. Driving at speeds higher than the posted limits is a leading cause of fatal San Antonio auto accidents within the San Antonio limits and in the rural or outlying areas. High speeds also play a major role in motorcycle accidents and alcohol related crashes. Often, fault in auto accidents is not clear cut. An experienced auto accident injury lawyer is usually very helpful in determining who is at fault in the accident and to what degree the party is at fault. Lawyers can find at fault parties that don’t show up on the police report. For example, in alcohol related crashes skilled auto accident injury lawyers will also look into a possible dram shop liability claim. That means that the bar or establishment that served the alcohol may also be at fault and owe you money for your injuries and damages. For more information on alcohol related crashes and dram shop liability claims see our Alcohol Related Crashes page.
Defective vehicles can cause major accidents involving catastrophic injuries or even the premature death of a loved one. Defective tires, tendency to tip over or roll, poorly placed gas tanks, seat buckle failure, and inadequate roof strength are all defects that can occur in vehicles that make them a hazard to the vehicle occupants and others on the road. A qualified auto accident injury lawyer can advise you on whether you may have a defective vehicle claim. It is important to contact a experienced lawyer as soon as possible to take the proper steps in preserving the evidence.
