The Baez Law Firm, from San Antonio Texas, is please to announce the openings of new offices in Tilden, Jourdanton, Pleasanton, and many other Counties within the Eagle Ford Shell. The moved was announced yesterday by Mr. Baez. "Our San Antonio Lawyers are getting recognized by the community, and its time that we expand our reach!" The Firm's personal injury section has grown, and we want to offer top legal representation to everyone within the area.

The Law Firm will be concentrating in the area of Trucking Accidents and Oil Rig Accidents initially, specially those accidents that lead to a Wrongful Death. People within the Eagle Ford Shell can contact our Toll Free Number for a Free Initial Consultation. We will be representing the injured and their families against the big oil companies within the area.

Since the oil production is booming within the area, so are the fatalities that come with big commercial trucks and big oil rigs. The Baez Law Firm, from San Antonio Texas is here to help the families of the victims of the accidents that these trucks and oil rigs bring to the community. No injury or fatality should go unnoticed. That is our goal! The Department of Transportation has indicated that the injuries and fatalities within this area has increased. Someone needs to do something about the injured victims and their families. That is why we are expanding, says Mr. Baez.

As a former Military Member and a former Nurse, Mr. Baez has always been concerned with the well being of the people that he serves and the community. This will be another way to give back to those that have been injured that would otherwise, be forgotten by the systems that injured them in the first place. "We are here for the injured and their families and not for the oil companies, says Mr. Baez. So, I have authorized two of my lawyers to start working on the project, and we are please to announce the inception of such projects within those counties."

We welcome the challenge with open arms and we are here to help the community. Each person deserves top legal representation, and my lawyers are here to provide it for everyone. Give our lawyers a call, if you or someone you love has been a victim of a trucking accident or oil rig accident.

Trucking Accidents in San Antonio

We know that huge 18-wheeler semi-trucks on our San Antonio roads and highways can be bothersome and quite intimidating to most automobile drivers.  The nature of the truck-driving industry itself perpetuates this commonly felt anxiety that the general public has with semi-trucks.  We all are aware that these semi-trucks serve a useful purpose; however, we are also aware that to make sufficient income, drivers of these trucks are generally under rigid schedules and tight deadlines for their deliveries.  That is why a truck driver may be inclined to drive too fast or to drive when overtired.  The truck driver may even be taking illegal drugs to help him/her stay awake so that deadlines can be met.  We also know that when a collision occurs between one of these semi-trucks and an automobile, the results can be catastrophic with substantial personal injury and increased fatalities as well as significant damage to the automobile and its occupants.  Where do you begin when you are involved in a truck accident?  Proving that the truck driver was “negligent,” is one of the first steps in a trucking accident case.

All Texas truck drivers have a Duty to follow the rules of the road and state-mandated trucking laws and a Duty to use “ordinary care” while driving a truck.   Ordinary care is that which a reasonable person of ordinary prudence would have done under the same or similar circumstances.  A Breach of that duty, negligence, can occur when a driver failed to follow the rules of the road, failed to follow the trucking laws, or did not use ordinary care.  The following are just some of the types of negligent behavior which can cause truck accidents:  failure to keep a proper lookout, inattentive driver, speeding, driving while on the phone or texting, driving too slowly, following too closely, failing to use a turn signal, failing to yield the right-of-way, failing to stop at a stop sign, driving through a red light, driving impaired, such as driving fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving on the wrong side of the road, failing to control the truck, and improper truck maintenance.  This list is definitely not exhaustive as there are many other ways that a truck driver can be found to not be using ordinary care. 

The next step, the Causation element, simply means that the negligent actions of the truck driver were the “proximate cause” of the other parties’ injuries.  You must prove that the accident occurred because, in a natural and continuous sequence, the negligent actions of the truck driver produced the accident and without the negligent actions of the truck driver the crash would not have occurred.  For example, the truck driver was driving in an impaired state such as sleep-deprived and fell asleep at the wheel.  A person of ordinary care would have foreseen that a truck driver who is driving fatigued had a great potential to fall asleep while driving and thus cause an accident.  In truck accident cases, however, proximate cause is rarely an issue.

Finally, you must prove the Damages.  The other vehicle’s driver and/or passengers may have suffered Personal Injury (PI) damages or there may be damages to the other vehicle or both because of the truck driver’s negligence.  Whichever the case, the parties involved need to seek medical attention as soon as possible and keep thorough records and receipts of all medical expenses. 

If you are involved in a collision with a semi-truck, you should immediately seek The Báez Law Firm, P.C. Our San Antonio Lawyers are here to help you with your trucking accident, auto accident and personal injury in general. Give us a call (210) 979-9777 so that one of our professionals can get you in with an attorney immediately. Our consultation is free.

Victim of a drunk driver?

In Texas roads, there are numerous accidents that occur every day. Some accidents are more dramatic than others, and some injuries are more serious than others. The problem arises when a drunk driver is behind the wheel of a vehicle. These drivers place their lives at risk and also the community at large. But many times these individuals go unpunished.

Recently, insurance companies, as a result of legislature changes, were required to increase their coverage for financial responsibility from $40,000 per occurrence to $50,000. But, when a life has been lost, that is not an amount to compensate any one, including the victim's family. Many times, other injuries or conditions may exist that would allow greater compensation for the families.

Our law firm has been helping Texas families victims of drunk drivers recover what they deserve. When drunk drivers are responsible, the implications are criminal as well as civil or monetary. Wrongful death usually arises as a result of the irresponsible drunk driver.

The Texas wrongful death statute is clear. A wrongful death has occurred when a person is killed due to the negligence or other liability of a person or entity. The statue includes death by a drunk driver.

Surviving beneficiaries and dependents are entitled to monetary damages in instances of wrongful death by a drunk driver. If your love one has been a victim of a drunk driver, either by fatal injury or by death, contact us. We can help.

What not to do if you have a personal injury case

Misrepresenting Your Accident or Injuries.
Doctors document in their records how you describe the accident and your injuries. When your description varies from the way the accident happened to the way that injuries are described in the police report or other statements, the insurance company can use the descriptions to make you appear untruthful.

Hiding Past Accidents.
If you have been in other accidents, you need to say so, so that your lawyer can investigate and make a determination as to whether it is a valid problem in your case.

Hiding Previous Injuries.
If you have ever seen a doctor or other health care provider, then there is a record in existence that the insurance company will find, not that can find, but will find.

Not Having Accurate Income Information.
In many cases, a claimant will have lost income because of the accident. You will only be able to claim lost income if your income information is in good order.

Misrepresenting Your Activity Level.
If you claim that you cannot do certain things, but you are not been honest, you can jeopardize your claim. Personal injury lawsuits are serious business. Insurance companies are willing to spend a lot of money investigating claims.

Have a personal injury claim?

Insurance companies are well known for trying to minimize your personal injury claims. As we see it,there are no auto, trucking or motorcycle accidents. There are wrecks and crashes resulting from bad judgments, careless mistakes and—in some case—intentional violations of the law. For every collision, there is a party who is at fault and a party who has been injured or killed.

On the other hand, a life-changing injury or a loved one's wrongful death can turn your world upside down in an instant. The insurance company is not concern that you and your family have a lot to deal with: pain, grief, confusion; and many details involving insurance, property damage and an uncertain future. That is why you should have a law firm able to handle them, so you can get back to your normal life.

The most common type of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, assault claims, accidents in the home, defective product accidents and holiday accidents. We can help you with all of them.

It can be tough to set a dollar amount on injuries you suffer in an accident. There are so many things to consider: doctor's bills, time lost from work, medical costs for ongoing injuries, pain and suffering, and so on. Insurance companies consider all of these factors when deciding how much to offer, and ultimately pay, for a personal injury claim.

The Baez Law Firm, P.C. is a general practice law firm that is ready to help you during difficult times. We handle accidents, criminal law, personal injury, family law, business law, consumer law, litigation, and appeals.

Medical bills are higher than the policy limits

Recently, we were asked about instances where the medical bill surpasses the offer or even the policy limits that applied to the person responsible for the accident. There are ways that a plaintiff can get above policy limits but it involves litigation.

The term full coverage generally means that the insurance policy has both liability coverage and coverage for damage to your vehicle. The term full coverage does not mean that everything is covered no matter what happens.

You should carry as much liability coverage as you can comfortably afford because damage claims today are sometimes settled for millions.

According to the insurance industry, State minimums don't come close to covering the cost of a serious accident. You should carry bodily-injury coverage of at least $100,000 per person, and $300,000 per accident, and property-damage coverage of $50,000, or a minimum of $300,000 on a single-limit policy.

The ecomony and your personal injury claim

According to the experts, in the last 12 months, the face of the global economy has forever changed. Gone forever are investment banks, the secondary credit market, and an unregulated financial market.

In its place are government ownership of banks, while central banks around the world are propping up the banking system. In September, we came very close to total economic collapse, and we haven't recovered yet.

However, all data seem to point that the insurance companies are thriving during this difficult economic times. Nevertheless, to maximize their bottom line, which is to make money, insurance companies will play on the tough economic times to try to settle claims for pennies on the dollars, which would otherwise be worth something for the injured person.

You need a team of experts on your side, ready to face tough insurance companies that are ready to downgrade your claim. Do not let this economy affect the outcome of your case.

We are personal injury lawyers that handle auto accidents, personal injury, nursing home negligence,premises liability, slip and fall,car wreck,medical malpractice, wrongful death, and other areas of law.

Auto accident and its injuries

Brain injuries are more common in side impact car accidents than in rear end auto accidents. Brain damage in a car accident is often related to the quick acceleration and deceleration of the brain, which causes injury to the point of impact and its opposite point or cont recoup. Diagnosis of a brain injury may be difficult. The Baez Law Firm, P.C. handle brain injury cases as a result of a car accident and all types of personal injury cases.

Concussions are associated with traumatic brain injury as are seizures, headaches, dizziness, lack of concentration, memory loss, depression or anxiety, spinal cord injury. CT scans and MRI scans are often used to diagnosis brain injury. Neck injuries vary from whiplash, one of the most common and annoying injuries caused by car accidents, to disk injuries. Our doctors will treat you promptly and efficiently with the most up to date technology.

Whiplash is an injury frequently associated with rear end impacts. Whiplash injures the soft tissues made up of nerves, ligaments and muscles. It causes neck pain and limitation of neck and head movement effecting rotation and peripheral vision. It may be temporary or permanent and can effect all aspects of life. If whiplash lasts for more than a few days after a car accident physicians will prescribe medications and often refer patients to physical therapists or chiropractors for rehabilitative therapy.

Causes of 18 Wheeler accidents

Over the years, our attorneys have handled trucking accidents across the State. The accidents can be caused by a number of factors. In all cases, there needs to be an investigation conducted by experienced individuals. When investigating a semi-truck accident, it is important to get the right information for the case:

Could the company be negligent in the hiring and training the driver?
Does the company have safety policies and training policies?
Could the driver have been fatigued?
Has the driver had prior accidents, speeding tickets or DUI charges?
Was the driver intoxicated or under the influence of drugs while driving?
Was the accident a result of an unsafe load, unbalanced load?
Was the truck properly maintained by the driver and or company?
Are there logbook requirements with the company?
Are the driver logs falsified?
Were defective tires or other defective equipment responsible for the accident?


Our law firm will get to the bottom of those questions, in order to obtain the best possible award for our clients. Most likely, if a heavy truck (18-wheeler, semi, tractor-trailer) crashes into a car, SUV, or motorcycle, the injuries are nearly always fatal, and the victims will suffer lifelong injuries (including paraplegia and quadriplegia), brain injuries, or even amputations.


Too often, the injured victims never recover and need substantial resources to get their lives back in order. Our goal is to cover the expenses which include compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, attendant care, job retraining, and pain and suffering.


If you or a loved one has been involved in an 18-wheeler accident, make sure you have a truck accident attorney with the experience in handling truck accident investigations and insurance claims.
