A Word With Alex Aguirre

Avvo rating 10.0

IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT SETS YOUR FIRM APART FROM OTHER FIRMS IN THE AREA?

Attention to detail and continuous client contact. I make myself available to clients at any time. We tell our new clients right away that if they want to visit with me, all they have to do is call and make an appointment. We have maintained this practice since day one.

WHAT STEPS DO YOU TAKE TO PREPARE FOR A DIFFICULT CASE?

We over-prepare. Based on experience, we can anticipate the positions that will be made by the other side at the onset of a case. We do this in the discovery process so we can meticulously elicit the evidence we will need to address these legal and factual positions.

HOW DO YOU VIEW YOUR ROLE IN THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP?

I take it very seriously. This is a big reason why I make myself available to my clients. Yes, I rely on my staff to manage the day to day tasks of a case, but when it is all said and done, I represent my client and am fully aware of their case at all times. I am not their attorney in name only, I actually touch and manage their case.

HOW DOES YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE PERSONAL INJURY FIELD BENEFIT YOUR CLIENTS?

I will go to trial when necessary. Not many lawyers can say that nowadays since cases rarely go to trial. When I take on a new case, I do so under the presumption that it is going to trial. I cannot assume that the defendant will eventually settle.

Because of this, I take an aggressive approach at the onset. I obtain fair and just settlement for my clients because insurance companies and defendants know that I will go all the way to defend their rights and entitlements if necessary.

IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF YOUR JOB?

I love fighting for my clients. Through my work, I am able to give a voice to those who otherwise would not have one.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU MOST OFTEN GIVE YOUR CLIENTS?

Be patient. Many other lawyers will rush into unfair settlements just to move onto the next case. Here, we aggressively push our cases in a time efficient manner, but will not rush into any settlement if it is not for a fair and just amount.

Should You Talk to a Texas Insurance Company Alone?

Texas law requires that people who drive on our roadways need to have car insurance. When you file your insurance claim, the insurance adjuster will call you. They will also want to record the conversation. Although the goal of insurance is to protect you from a financial catastrophe, insurance companies are for-profit. To help ensure that insurance companies make a profit, their adjusters will often attempt to minimize your injuries and the property damage, leaving you to foot at least some of the bill (even if you’ve never made a claim before).

Because of this, it’s best that you don’t talk with an insurance adjuster on your own. They may trick you into saying something that makes it sound like you’re at fault for at least part of the accident. They’ll also try to get you to sign a settlement agreement to pay you less than what you need or what your claim is actually worth. A San Antonio car accident attorney can represent you during your conversation with the adjuster, answer any further questions the adjuster may have, and make sure that the insurance company provides you with a fair settlement. If they don’t, the job of your personal injury attorney is to take them to court.

What To Do After a Car Accident in San Antonio

If you or a loved one is involved in a car accident in San Antonio, take the following steps.

  1. If possible, check to see that everyone involved is okay.
  2. Call 911 to report the accident scene. This is important because EMTs will be dispatched along with the police to take a report. Get the police report number for later.
  3. If possible, take pictures of the scene while you’re there along with damage to the vehicles involved and any injuries.
  4. Get medical care as soon as you can. Even if you don’t need the assistance of an EMT because of an obvious injury, getting medical care as soon as you can has the potential to ensure that existing injuries don’t become worse, including internal injuries. A record of your medical bills is also beneficial to your claim.
  5. Call The Aguirre Law Firm, PLLC, to schedule your free consultation. Our San Antonio car accident attorneys are here to help you protect your legal rights.

San Antonio Car Accident Statistics

Each year, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) compiles motor vehicle traffic accident data throughout the state and within each town and city. The motor vehicle data from 2023 showed the following:

In Texas:

  • 250,335 people were injured in auto accidents
  • 15,219 accidents resulted in serious injury (18,752 people were seriously injured)
  • 1 person was killed every 2 hours and 3 minutes
  • 1 person was injured every 2 minutes and 6 seconds
  • 1 reportable crash occurred every 56 seconds
  • There were no deathless days on any Texas roads in all of 2023

In San Antonio:

  • There were 40,077 total auto accidents in 2023
  • 164 people suffered fatality from motor vehicle accidents
  • 612 people had “suspected serious injuries”
  • There were 536 “suspected serious car crashes”

What are the Causes of Auto Accidents in San Antonio?

According to TxDOT, most car crashes in Texas are the result of:

These accidents can be even more fatal when colliding with people on foot or bike. 266 serious injuries from bicycle accidents in San Antonio have occurred since 2013. Most of these accidents are preventable by avoiding distracted driving.

What is Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving is doing anything besides driving while behind the wheel. It is the leading cause of fatality accidents in the United States.

Distracted driving includes driving while doing any of the following and more:

  • Eating;
  • Using a GPS:
  • Disciplining children;
  • Drunk driving;
  • Road rage;
  • Talking on the phone; and
  • Texting.

The dangers of distracted driving are multiplied when a negligent driver is impaired by intoxicating substances. Drunk drivers can receive not only serious fines, but jail time.

Defective Vehicles and Parts

Sometimes liability for an auto accident falls on a vehicle or vehicle parts manufacturer. Defective parts known to cause a car wreck are brakes, power steering, and airbags, and can result in serious injury.

Consumers harmed by faulty parts can recover for their medical expenses, property damage, and resulting losses. A car accident attorney at The Aguirre Law Firm, PLLC, can review your claim for manufacturer liability and advise you of any current consumer parts’ recalls.

Cities, Counties, and Municipalities

When cities, counties, municipalities, and other government entities fail to properly mark road hazards, and construction zones, or neglect traffic signals, they may be liable for any resulting auto accidents.

Claims against the government have special rules and shorter time frames for filing. Speak with one of our San Antonio car accident attorneys immediately if your accident involved any of these dangerous conditions.

What Are Common Types of Car Accidents in San Antonio?

Every San Antonio car accident is different and so is every accident victim. However, some auto accident scenarios are more common than others.

These car accidents include:

  • The single-car collision: This accident only involves a one-car collision, typically with an inanimate object like a guardrail or a tree;
  • The T-bone collision: Also known as a side-impact collision, the t-bone accident usually occurs at an intersection. One car horizontally collides with another car’s passenger door area;
  • The rear-end collision: When a vehicle collides with the car directly in front of it, there is a rear-end collision. This is the most common auto accident and is usually caused by following too closely; and
  • The head-on collision: A head-on collision happens when two vehicles meet one another front end to front end or face one another. These are among the most deadly accidents.

Regardless of the type of motor vehicle accident, all car collisions can cause serious injuries to a victim’s body. A San Antonio car accident lawyer at The Aguirre Law Firm, PLLC, can help you seek appropriate medical and specialty care no matter what type of collision you suffered.

What Are Typical Car Accident Injuries in San Antonio?

Car accident injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to severe brain damage and paralysis. The extent and type of a victim’s injuries depend on the following variables:

  • The types and sizes of the vehicles;
  • The speed of the vehicles; and
  • The number of vehicles.

Car accident injuries may include the following and more:

  • Spinal cord injuries, dislocated vertebrae, or tearing of spinal cord tissue;
  • Back injuries, sprains and strains, whiplash;
  • Paraplegia or quadriplegia;
  • Broken bones and fractures;
  • Amputation;
  • Soft tissue damage;
  • Brain injuries, including Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI);
  • Chest injuries, including broken ribs;
  • Internal organ damage and internal bleeding;
  • Eye injuries;
  • Burns;
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); and

Not all car accident injuries are readily apparent and require a thorough medical examination including follow-up care. Brain injuries may take days or weeks to appear and can cause lasting damage if allowed to go undiagnosed.

Emotional and psychological damage also requires diagnosis by a medical professional. Therefore, friends and family need to monitor car accident victims for ongoing trauma post-accident.

In some cases, individuals may succumb to their car accident injuries. If your loved one has lost their life in a car accident, reach out to our San Antonio wrongful death lawyers to learn about your legal options.
