Oak Hills Personal Injury Lawyer

Decades of representation for the victims of accidents in the San Antonio region

Oak Hills is a beautiful neighborhood of San Antonio, with lovely homes and apartments. There’s good dining, shopping, and worksites nearby. Oak Hills Park, Oak Hills Country Club, the Oak Hills Church, and Oak Hills Tavern all contribute to the Oak Hills Community. It’s full of the wonders of nature, while also accessible to the culture and city life of San Antonio.

Nearby highways include Interstates 10 and 410 (known as Loop 410). According to the City of San Antonio, nearby roads include Callaghan Road, Fredericksburg Road, and Babcock Road. The community has scenic curving streets, irregularly shaped beauty (there’s no grid appearance in Oak Hills), lined by wondrous oak trees. Many of the homes are of a 1950s ranch house design. The Oak Hills Medical Building (part of the South Texas Medical Building) is located on Fredericksburg Road.

The charm and beauty of Oak Hills don’t make it immune to accidents. Drivers may still speed, and Doctors may not provide quality care. Property owners may fail to promptly repair hazardous conditions. At Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney, we’ve been providing strong advocacy for personal injury victims for decades. Our record of success includes numerous million-dollar-plus verdicts and settlements (note that past results do not guarantee future outcomes). When accidents happen, we’re ready to fight for all the compensation you deserve, including your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Our Oak Hills personal injury lawyer demands compensation for all your damages so far and all your future damages, including:

  • Your medical expenses. These include emergency care, hospitalizations, doctor visits, physical therapy, vocational therapy, psychological counseling, plastic surgery, medications, assistive help, and all other medical care.

Our Oak Hills personal injury lawyer handles accident claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that our success depends on your success. There are no upfront costs that you have to pay.

What steps should I take if I’m in an accident in Oak Hills, San Antonio?

Your health is your first priority. You should seek immediate medical care or have someone, such as a police officer at the scene of a car accident, arrange for emergency medical transport. EMS will transport you to a nearby hospital with an emergency department (such as the University Hospital or Methodist Hospital).

Vehicle accident victims should contact 911. The police will help anyone who is hurt and obtain the necessary information from each driver. This information includes the vehicle registration, driver’s license, insurance carrier, and contact information.

For accidents when on another property, you should report the accident to a manager or supervisor (but don’t discuss fault). You, or someone with you, should take notes about any hazards and pictures of your injuries.

For all types of accidents, the best course of action is to contact Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney, as quickly as possible. We can explain what you should and shouldn’t do. We’re ready to fight for all the compensation you deserve.

What’s the time limit for filing a personal injury claim in Texas?

Generally, personal injury claims and wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the accident. There are some situations where a shorter time limit applies, such as if you have a claim against the Department of Transportation in Texas (claims against governmental units, including TxDOT, require written notice, generally within six months, and some cities shorter, pursuant to the Texas Tort Claims Act).

Please contact us as soon as possible, so we can investigate the accident site, examine the damage to any products or vehicles, and review your medical injuries.
