Leon Valley Personal Injury Lawyer
Providing decades of strong advocacy for accident victims
Accidents happen in all communities. Leon Valley is no exception. Drivers will drive while distracted, property owners will fail to inspect their property, doctors will make mistakes, construction companies and oil and gas companies will fail to protect their workers, and defective products will cause harm. When you suffer personal injuries or a loved one tragically dies due to the fault of others, our Leon Valley personal injury lawyers can work to show who is responsible for your accident and what compensation you should receive.
At Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney, we appreciate everything that Leon Valley has to offer. Located in Bexar County, Texas, Leon Valley enjoys its reputation as a close-knit community of neighbors. Leon Valley has numerous attractions that residents and visitors can reach by Grissom Road, Bandera Road, and Loop 410. These attractions include Raymond Rimkus Park, the Huebner-Onion Homestead & Stagecoach Stop, the Huebner-Onion Natural Area, Leon Creek Greenway, and Steurenthaler-Silo Park. The Huebner Oaks Shopping Center also has many different restaurants and retail stores.
When accidents happen, we fight for our clients to obtain the verdicts and settlements they deserve, so they can return to enjoying everything Leon Valley has to offer. We’ve obtained many million-dollar-plus recoveries for our clients. These recoveries include the following:
- $20 million. We filed a medical malpractice claim involving a breast implant for our client.
- $8 million. We helped a family obtain this wrongful death recovery for their family member who died in an 18-wheeler truck accident.
- $6.5 million. Our medical malpractice lawyer obtained this recovery for our client, who is now quadriplegic.
- $6 million. We filed a truck accident claim for our client, who suffered multiple injuries.
- $5 million. Our client suffered an amputation and severe burns due to a defective fuel system that caused our 16-year-old client to suffer an amputation and severe burns.
Please note: Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts.

How do you fight for personal injury victims in Leon Valley?
At Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney, we have extensive experience trying cases before a judge and jury. That experience helps us prepare each phase of your case. Our experience and record of success in the courtroom are also why many insurance companies may settle with us.
We can work with liability experts (such as our own investigators, the police, traffic reconstruction experts, product safety experts, building code officials, and doctors) to help prove how your injuries happened and who is liable. We can work with your doctors and life planners to prove all your medical damages, and your employers/financial experts to prove your financial damages. Our Leon Valley personal injury lawyer reviews every aspect of your case with you and any witnesses. We question defendants and anyone with knowledge of your case. Our work also includes reviewing all relevant documents and evidence.

What is a contingent fee?
We handle personal injury and wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that we receive a percentage (agreed to at the start of our representation) of any settlement or verdict. We also advance all the costs. In this way, our success depends on your success.
What should I do immediately after an accident happens in Leon Valley or San Antonio?
For every type of accident, your top priority is your health. Early medical care helps your doctors obtain a diagnosis and recommend treatments. Many patients seek a medical review by an ER doctor or their family doctor. We can review whether you should consider seeing other doctors when we meet with you. An early medical review also helps rebut any insurance claims that waiting to receive care means your injuries weren’t severe.
In some cases, such as vehicle accidents, you or someone at the accident site should contact the local police by dialing 911. The police will secure the accident site, obtain everyone’s information, and conduct an initial investigation. In other types of cases, accident victims should report the accident to a property owner, an employer, or a supervisor. Reporting means stating what happened. It does not mean discussing fault.
Please call us as soon as possible. We can explain your rights, answer your questions, and prepare you for each phase of your claim.
How much time do I have to file my personal injury claim?
Typically, personal injury victims must file their claims within two years of the accident (and two years from the date of death for wrongful death claims). In some cases, the time to notify a defendant, such as the Department of Transportation in Texas, is much shorter. The sooner we speak with you, the stronger your case will be.

Yes. Our personal injury lawyer meets clients at our office in San Antonio, located at 239 E Commerce St. If your injuries prevent you from traveling, we can meet you at your home or another convenient location or healthcare facility. We also speak with clients by phone and via online video platforms.
