Dangerous Areas for Car Accidents in San Antonio

While San Antonio boasts beautiful scenery and plenty of activities, the city also has a high rate of car accidents. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Bexar County had over 48,000 crashes in 2020 alone, leading to nearly 26,000 injuries and almost 250 fatalities. Some of the most dangerous areas for car accidents in San Antonio include:

  • I-35: This major highway is a hotspot for accidents due to high traffic volume and speed, particularly near the downtown loop, the North Loop, and the South Loop.
  • I-10: This interstate highway is another dangerous route for car accidents, especially near the downtown area and the Quarry Market.
  • Loop 410: This loop highway encircles San Antonio and is known for heavy traffic and frequent accidents near the intersection with I-35.
  • Highway 281: This north-south highway sees heavy congestion, making it a hotspot for collisions during rush hour.
  • Bandera Road: This busy thoroughfare on the west side of San Antonio also sees heavy congestion, especially near the intersection with I-10.
  • Blanco Road: This is another busy road on the west side of the city that intersects Loop 410, making this area prone to crashes.

Understanding the geography of high-risk areas can be crucial for prevention. Local authorities and community organizations are actively working on strategies to reduce these incidents, implementing various safety initiatives. However, individual drivers must remain vigilant in these regions, adhering to traffic regulations and staying alert to avoid potential hazards.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

The vast majority of crashes result from preventable driver error. Some of the most common causes in San Antonio include:

  • Distracted Driving: Using smartphones, GPS devices, or in-car entertainment systems dramatically increases the risk of a crash.
  • Speeding: High speeds reduce reaction time and increase the severity of injuries.
  • Drunk or Drug-Impaired Driving: San Antonio sees numerous DUI-related accidents each year, especially during weekends and holidays.
  • Reckless or Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, unsafe lane changes, and road rage contribute to many collisions.
  • Failure to Yield: Intersections are especially dangerous when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way.
  • Commercial Vehicle & Rideshare Crashes: San Antonio’s busy ride-hailing and delivery traffic creates additional risks for other drivers on the road.

If a negligent or careless driver caused your injuries, you have the right to pursue a claim for compensation.

Common Crash Injuries

Car accidents can cause anything from minor discomfort to life-changing injuries. Some of the most common include:

Even seemingly minor injuries can become serious over time. Seeking medical attention immediately helps protect both your health and your claim.

Texas Car Accident Laws

Texas follows a fault-based insurance system, meaning the driver who caused the crash is financially responsible for the damages. You can file:

  • A claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company
  • A claim with your own insurer (depending on coverage)
  • A personal injury lawsuit

Texas uses the 51% bar rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Most Texas car accident claims must be filed within two years from the date of the collision. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to recovery.

Car Accident Claim FAQs

How much is my car accident claim worth?

Every case is different. Your compensation depends on factors like injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and whether you share any fault.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

Not before speaking with a lawyer. Insurance adjusters may try to get you to admit fault or accept a low offer. Our attorneys handle all communications for you.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

You may still recover compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or by filing a lawsuit.

Do I need a lawyer for a minor accident?

Even seemingly small injuries can have long-term consequences. An attorney can help ensure you don’t accept a settlement that is less than what you deserve.

Do you charge upfront fees?

No. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.

    My husband was injured in a workplace accident in 2022. The first law firm he went to looked at his case and turned it down. he had all but decided to give up when he called the Kemmy's. They took his case and ran with it. In the end, they made a significant recovery for me. I highly recommend the Kemmy Law Firm.
