Help after a Corpus Christi car crash
Serious wrecks happen every day on South Padre Island Drive (SH 358), I-37, US 77/I-69E, Crosstown Expressway, Ocean Drive, and streets throughout Nueces County. A collision can leave you with emergency-room bills, missed work, vehicle damage, and an adjuster asking for a recorded statement before you know the full extent of your injuries.
Our car accident attorneys help injured drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and families throughout Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, Calallen, and the Coastal Bend. We gather evidence, identify all available insurance coverage, document your losses, and negotiate from a position supported by the facts.
What to do after an accident
- Call 911 and report the crash. Ask for the responding agency’s report number.
- Get medical care. Some injuries are not obvious immediately after a collision.
- Photograph the scene. If it is safe, document vehicle positions, damage, license plates, traffic controls, road conditions, and visible injuries.
- Collect witness information. Independent witnesses may be important if fault is disputed.
- Avoid a recorded statement. You are not required to give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement before obtaining legal advice.
- Preserve records. Keep medical bills, receipts, repair estimates, wage-loss information, and insurance correspondence.

Common causes of Corpus Christi collisions
We handle claims involving distracted driving, speeding, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield, impaired driving, rear-end impacts, intersection crashes, fatigued drivers, dangerous commercial vehicles, and drivers who fail to adjust to weather or road conditions. Every case depends on its evidence; we investigate rather than relying only on an insurer’s early version of events.
Compensation available in a Texas car accident claim
Depending on the facts, compensation may include past and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment. Wrongful-death damages may be available to qualifying family members after a fatal crash. No lawyer can promise a result, but our team can explain which categories may apply and build evidence supporting the claim.
Texas filing deadlines
Texas generally provides a two-year limitations period for many personal-injury claims, but exceptions can shorten or extend the deadline. Claims involving a government vehicle or public entity may require much earlier notice. Prompt investigation also matters because video can be overwritten, vehicles repaired, and witnesses become harder to locate.

Corpus Christi car accident FAQs
How much does a consultation cost?
The initial case review is free. If we accept the case, attorney fees are contingent on a recovery.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
Do not sign a release until you understand your injuries, future care, lost income, and all available coverage. A signed release usually ends the claim.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault?
Texas uses proportionate responsibility rules. A claimant who is not more than 50 percent responsible may recover damages reduced by their percentage of fault. The evidence determines how those rules apply.
