Stone Oak Personal Injury Lawyer
Accomplished advocacy for Texas accident victims and families
Stone Oak is one of many planned communities (along with Alamo Heights, Olmos Park, and Terrell Hills) in San Antonio. Developed in the 1980s, Stone Oak is a self-contained community with schools, churches, offices, banks, and other attractions. North Central Baptist Hospital is in the heart of Stone Oak.
Residents and visitors can drive to Stone Oak by using Route 281 and Loop 1604. Some of the shopping and business locations that Stone Oak offers include the Shops at La Cantera, the Village at Stone Oak, The Rim, Rolling Oaks Mall, and Northwoods. Students can attend school in the North East Independent School District or the Comal Independent School District.
Unfortunately, accidents do happen even in the nicest of communities. Distracted drivers can cause crashes. Truck drivers making deliveries can lose control of their vehicles. Shoppers can slip and fall while buying merchandise or enjoying a good meal. Doctors may not provide competent care. At Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney, we have more than 30 years of experience helping personal injury victims who have catastrophic, permanent, or serious injuries. Our firm represents families when accidents are fatal. We can hold those responsible accountable for all your financial and personal damages. Call us now to discuss your right to compensation.

Don’t get chatty with insurance companies (let your lawyer talk for you)
You have a duty to notify your own insurance company, such as your car insurance company, that you’ve been in an accident. You should never discuss your case or consider settling your case with the insurance companies for any of the defendants. We can speak for you with your own insurance company and the insurance companies for everyone responsible for your personal injuries or the death of a loved one.

What should I do if I’m in an accident in Stone Oak?
All accidents are upsetting. Many accidents require immediate medical attention. Your first priority is to focus on your safety and health. This means, to the extent that you can, taking steps to avoid any further dangers, such as moving your car off the highway.
If you’re in a car accident, you should call 911 so the police can arrange for emergency medical transport to North Central Baptist Hospital, Methodist Hospital Stone Oak or a nearby burn center. The police will also obtain the necessary contact, driver’s, vehicle, and insurance information from everyone involved. The local San Antonio police will also conduct an initial investigation of what happened and take notes about the road conditions.
For many other types of accidents, such as premises liability accidents, you should report the accident to a supervisor. If possible, you should take photos of your injuries and the accident site (or have someone with you take these photos).
You should contact Pat Maloney: Accident & Injury Attorney, as soon as possible. We’re here to provide practical and legal advice about everything else you should do to protect your health and your personal injury claim.
