Accident & Injury Lawyer in Castroville, Texas
A historic town on a working highway, half an hour from San Antonio. More than 30 years serving South Texas families.
Castroville is the Alsatian town on the Medina River, and it draws visitors all year. That is part of what makes its roads risky: US-90 carries freight and commuters straight through, while weekend traffic slows, turns and looks for the historic district at the same time.
Add San Antonio 25 miles east, and you get the full mix — trucks moving west, commuters moving east, and drivers who don't know the town trying to find a turn. Most serious crashes here happen where those three groups meet.
We handle Medina County cases from our Eagle Pass office and we come to you. Bilingual team, no fee unless we win, and your immigration status does not affect your right to file a claim.
Where crashes happen around Castroville
The risk clusters where highway speed meets town traffic:
Through traffic at highway speed sharing pavement with vehicles slowing to turn into the historic district. Rear-end collisions here are the most common serious crash.
Where the highway meets the route toward LaCoste and Natalia. Turning traffic crossing two lanes of oncoming vehicles is how the worst intersection crashes happen.
Commuter volume in both directions morning and evening, mixed with trucks. Distracted and fatigued driving are recurring factors.
Two-lane roads with curves, no shoulders and no lighting, plus visitors who don't know where the turns are. Head-on crashes here start as a misjudged pass.
Volume spikes when the town has visitors — more pedestrians, more parking maneuvers, more drivers looking at buildings instead of the road.
Cases we handle in Castroville
Rear-end, intersection and head-on collisions at highway speed. Fault is often contested, so we work the scene evidence instead of accepting the other driver's account.
Federal safety rules, driver logs and electronic data apply — and much of it can be legally overwritten within weeks.
In a town people walk around, drivers who are watching the scenery are the danger. These cases turn on right-of-way and visibility.
San Antonio's growth reaches this far west. If a contractor other than your employer caused your injury, you may have a third-party claim worth far more than workers' compensation.
Everyday collisions in town and on the county roads. We deal with the insurance company for you.
Highway crashes are the ones most likely to take a life. Texas allows the spouse, children and parents to file.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take cases in Castroville?+
Yes. Castroville and all of Medina County are part of our service area, and we'll come to you — you don't have to drive to Eagle Pass.
The driver who hit me was from out of town. Does that complicate things?+
Not really. What matters is their insurance and the evidence at the scene. It does make witness names more important, since visitors don't stay around.
Isn't a San Antonio lawyer closer?+
Closer, yes. What matters more is who handles your case personally and how fast they act on evidence. We travel to you, we work in Spanish and English, and you deal with us directly.
I don't have papers. Can I still file a claim?+
Yes. In Texas anyone injured by another's negligence can seek compensation regardless of immigration status, and your status is protected by attorney-client privilege.
How long do I have to file?+
Generally two years from the date of the accident in Texas, but evidence disappears much sooner. Calling early is what preserves your proof.
