Accident & Injury Lawyer in Sabinal, Texas

A small town on the US-90 run between Uvalde and Hondo. More than 30 years serving South Texas families.

US-90 highway running through Sabinal, Texas

Sabinal sits on US-90 in eastern Uvalde County, on the stretch that carries traffic between Uvalde and San Antonio. The highway goes through town, not around it — which means vehicles that have been running at 70 for twenty miles arrive at cross streets and driveways.

North of town, TX-127 and the ranch roads climb toward the Hill Country. Those are narrow, curving and unlit, and they fill up during hunting season with drivers who don't know them.

We handle Uvalde 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 Sabinal

In a town on a US highway, the danger runs along one line:

US-90 through town

Through traffic decelerating into a town with cross streets and driveways. Rear-end and intersection collisions are the most frequent serious crashes here.

US-90 west toward Knippa and Uvalde

Two-lane highway with quarry and farm traffic entering from the sides. A truck slowing to turn off the highway is the classic setup for a high-speed rear-end crash.

TX-127 north toward the Hill Country

Curves, no shoulders, no lighting, and seasonal traffic from people who don't know the road. Head-on crashes here start as a misjudged pass.

The Sabinal River crossings and low-water spots

Rural crossings that change character in the rain. A driver who misjudges water or a slick approach loses control with nowhere to recover.

Cases we handle in Sabinal

US-90 highway crashes

Rear-end, intersection and head-on collisions at highway speed. Fault is usually contested, so we work the scene evidence instead of accepting the other driver's version.

Truck and commercial vehicle crashes

US-90 carries freight and quarry traffic. Federal safety rules, driver logs and electronic data apply, and much of it can be legally overwritten within weeks.

Rural crashes with delayed help

When an ambulance takes a while to arrive, injuries worsen before treatment starts. That delay is part of the damages and has to be documented properly.

Work and ranch accidents

Equipment injuries, falls and vehicle strikes. If a company other than your employer caused it, you may have a third-party claim worth far more than workers' compensation.

Wrongful death

Head-on crashes on two-lane highways are among the deadliest in Texas. The spouse, children and parents can file.

What to do after a crash near Sabinal

On a rural highway there may be no cameras and only one witness. The first hour is often the whole record.

  1. 1Call 911. Texas DPS works US-90 and the state highways; the Uvalde County Sheriff's Office covers the county and ranch roads.
  2. 2Get medical care the same day. Uvalde Memorial Hospital is about 20 miles west; serious trauma goes to San Antonio.
  3. 3Photograph the road, not just the cars — skid marks, final positions, where the shoulder drops off.
  4. 4Get witness names before they drive off. Out here there may only be one, and without a name they're gone.
  5. 5Don't give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer before you've seen a doctor.
  6. 6Call us. We come to Sabinal and the consultation is free.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take cases in Sabinal?+

Yes. Sabinal and all of Uvalde County are part of our service area, and we'll come to you — you don't have to drive to Eagle Pass.

There were no witnesses. Can I still prove my case?+

Usually yes. Physical evidence — skid marks, vehicle damage, where each car ended up — tells the story, but it disappears within days. That's why photos at the scene matter so much.

The other driver says I was partly at fault. Does that end my claim?+

Not necessarily. Texas uses modified comparative negligence: you can still recover as long as you're not more than 50% responsible, though your recovery is reduced by your share.

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.

Hurt near Sabinal? Let's talk today.
