The first 48 hours decide most claims
What you do in the two days after a crash shapes everything that follows, because the proof decays fast and the other driver’s insurer moves first.
- Get checked the same day, at Methodist ER Boerne or any emergency room, even if you only feel stiff and shaken.
- Call 911 so Boerne Police or the Kendall County Sheriff documents the scene, and write down the unit and report number.
- Photograph both vehicles where they stopped, the roadway, and anything that explains the geometry, then collect names and numbers from witnesses before they drive off.
- Say nothing recorded to the other driver’s insurer, and sign nothing it sends you.
Call us before that first adjuster conversation. We handle the crash report, the vehicle repair or total-loss payout, and the treatment scheduling with local providers, so you can heal instead of chasing paperwork.
Who pays when the other driver was careless
The at-fault driver pays, through his insurer, once you prove he owed you ordinary care, broke that duty, and caused the harm you are living with.
Two Boerne patterns come up again and again. The first is the stop-and-go backup on I-10 through the Boerne exits, where a distracted commuter hits a slowed car at speed. Those are rear-end collision claims, and they turn on following distance and on whether the driver was looking at a phone. The second is the mix of local traffic and visitors on Main Street and the ranch roads, where an unfamiliar driver turns across someone who had the right of way.
A crash can also produce more than one paying party. A driver running an errand for his employer puts a commercial policy in play, which matters because those limits dwarf a personal auto policy, and the same is true when a work truck or commercial rig on I-10 is involved. If your own share of the blame is 50 percent or less you can still recover, with your award reduced by whatever percentage a jury assigns you.
What your claim is worth
Your claim is worth what you can prove: the severity of the injury, how long you treated, how fault divides, and how much insurance exists to pay it. Nobody honest quotes you an average.
The trap is settling early. Texas requires only 30/60/25 liability coverage, so the first offer often arrives before anyone knows whether your neck needs surgery, and once you sign, the claim is closed even if the next MRI changes everything. Insurers price a file on what they think a jury would do with it, which is why a documented record of future care is worth more than a confident demand letter. A crash that takes a life becomes a wrongful death claim with its own rules and its own deadlines.
Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome. Every case is different and depends on its own facts.
Why Boerne families hire JRE Injury Law
Because you get a small firm that comes to you and a trial bench behind it.
We drive to Boerne. If you are in a hospital bed, at home in a brace, or shuttling between appointments on the Hill Country Mile, we meet you there rather than asking you to drive in for an appointment. Your case would be filed in the Kendall County courts, and a case manager you can reach by name keeps you current at every step.
Behind that, the firm carries real trial weight. Ethan L. Shaw, Of Counsel to JRE Injury Law and a partner at Shaw Cowart, LLP, is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and he won about $70 million against an insurer that wrongfully denied an injured worker’s benefits in Tate v. Discover Property & Casualty, tried in Bexar County. His firm’s results also include more than $2 million from a jury in an underinsured-motorist claim and a policy-limits settlement of more than $350,000 for a family with three young children hurt in a collision (Shaw Cowart, LLP – Ethan L. Shaw Of Counsel to JRE Injury Law). Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome. Every case is different and depends on its own facts.
You can read what clients say in our client reviews, and see how these claims work start to finish before you decide anything.
How long you have to file
Two years from the date of the crash, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 16.003, and two years from the date of death in a fatal case.
Claims against a government driver are the exception and they move much faster. A city vehicle triggers a written notice requirement under Boerne’s own charter, at Section 10.03, long before the two-year deadline matters. Waiting also costs you proof: business and traffic video is usually overwritten within about 30 days, and damaged vehicles are sold for salvage with their data still inside.
