Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can range from mild concussions to severe trauma, and the impact can be life-changing. When a brain injury has disrupted your life, our expert personal injury lawyer in McAllen and San Antonio will provide support and help you navigate the complex medical and legal processes to secure the compensation you deserve.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are among the most common causes of personal injury. Car accidents are capable of causing minor injuries and life-altering conditions — tragically, they are also often fatal. Our car accident attorney is committed to securing the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can have a devastating impact and often warrant significant damages. However, truck accident claims are often complex, with multiple parties potentially liable and a minefield of state and federal regulations to navigate. Our firm specializes in commercial truck accidents, having recovered million-dollar payouts for our clients in San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles may lack the size of massive and heavy commercial trucks, but this type of auto accident is no less dangerous. Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to injury due to a lack of protection and the substantial impact of much larger vehicles. Our personal injury law firm is dedicated to combating the negative stereotype that motorcyclists are dangerous and reckless to get you the compensation you deserve when you are injured in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence.

Premises Liability Accidents

Slips, trips, and falls or other injuries on someone else’s property can cause painful and even life-changing injuries, from broken bones to catastrophic injuries. But it can be challenging to recover compensation in a premises liability case, as success hinges on proving the property owner was aware of the dangerous conditions that caused your accident. Whether you’ve been injured at an H-E-B or Walmart store, a supermarket, restaurant, shopping mall, or somewhere else, our San Antonio and McAllen personal injury attorney can secure the result you deserve.

Workplace Accidents

Some workplaces are inherently more dangerous than others. If you work on a construction site or in a role that requires you to work at height or with heavy machinery or hazardous chemicals, the risk of sustaining an injury is heightened — and the potential impact of such injuries is often more severe. But it is a misconception that there is such a thing as a “safe” work environment. There are risks everywhere, and injuries can occur at any time, from slipping on a wet floor to tripping over a computer cable or clutter in a corridor. Our personal injury law firm can help you recover rightful compensation if your employer was negligent and does not have workers’ compensation insurance or determine if a third party might be liable so that you can recover your total damages even if you receive workers’ compensation benefits.

Wrongful Death Accidents

A wrongful death claim arises when an individual dies due to someone else’s negligent or reckless actions. Wrongful death can result from many accident or injury types — many of which are practice areas we specialize in at Patino Law Firm — including car accidents, truck accidents, and work injuries. What separates wrongful death claims is the claimant — if someone is injured in a car accident, they can pursue compensation in a car accident personal injury claim, but if someone dies in a car accident, their surviving family can file a wrongful death suit to recover compensation for the profound emotional and financial impacts of their loss.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord damage is a type of catastrophic injury that can significantly alter an injury victim’s life. Nerve damage can cause a chronic tingling sensation, weakness, or total paralysis. Like other severe injuries, a spinal cord injury can result from many types of accidents. Whatever your circumstances, if you suffered harm due to someone else’s negligence — whether a person or a company — we can help you get the compensation you’re entitled to for your past and future medical bills, lost wages, future earning capacity if you cannot work again, and more.

Oilfield Accidents

Oilfields are dangerous work environments, with heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and extreme conditions posing constant risks. When other workers cut corners or supervisors do not follow safety protocols, the consequences can be catastrophic. Our experienced personal injury lawyer in McAllen and San Antonio understands the unique challenges of oilfield accident claims and will fight for the compensation you deserve, whether your injury was caused by equipment failure, improper training, or unsafe work conditions.

Van Accidents

Van accidents can be particularly devastating due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Often, accidents occur when van drivers are on the job, and you can recover compensation not only from the driver but also, potentially, from their employer. Our Texas personal injury attorney can secure the compensation you are entitled to for your medical bills, lost wages, and more.

Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft offer a convenient and sustainable way of getting around, but where do you stand if you’re in an accident? Determining liability in an Uber or Lyft accident can be tricky, as rideshare companies only provide coverage in certain circumstances — namely, if the trip falls into a specific phase. Our personal injury law firm is experienced in pursuing claims in this practice area and can determine whether or not you have a claim and how much compensation you might be entitled to. 

Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury is any injury that has a profound and lasting impact on an accident victim’s life, including broken bones, amputations, facial injuries, and burns. Such injuries often require long-term medical care and can even lead to permanent disability. Our compassionate personal injury attorney in McAllen and San Antonio will ensure you receive the compensation you need to cover medical expenses, lost income, and the emotional toll of your injury.
