Why Choose KRW Lawyers for Your San Antonio Personal Injury Case
- Board-certified trial leadership. Firm President Douglas D. Ketterman has held Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization continuously since 1998 — a credential requiring peer review, judicial evaluation, and ongoing trial experience, held by a small fraction of Texas attorneys.

Cases We Handle
Personal injury law covers a wide range of accident and injury scenarios. At KRW Lawyers, our San Antonio personal injury lawyers represent clients in many different types of cases, including:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Slip and fall and premises liability cases
- Workplace and construction accidents
- Wrongful death claims
Each case is unique, but the common thread is that someone else's negligence caused you harm. Our goal is to investigate what happened, identify liable parties, and build a strong case on your behalf.
Common Types of Injuries
Personal injury cases can involve a wide range of physical and psychological harm, including:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe burns
- Internal organ damage
- Soft tissue injuries
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Psychological trauma, including PTSD
Even seemingly minor injuries can have lasting effects on your health, mobility, and quality of life. Our San Antonio personal injury attorneys ensure every aspect of your injury is documented and evaluated so you receive the maximum compensation available.
Texas Personal Injury Laws in San Antonio
Two Texas laws shape nearly every personal injury claim: a modified comparative negligence rule that still allows recovery if you're 50% or less at fault (with your compensation reduced by your percentage of fault), and a two-year statute of limitations for filing suit. Insurance companies frequently try to use both to their advantage — especially assigning injured people more blame than the facts support after crashes on busy San Antonio roads such as I-10, I-35, and Loop 410 — or simply running the clock on the filing deadline.
One additional wrinkle worth knowing: while most personal injury cases in Texas don't have caps on damages, medical malpractice claims do have statutory limits on non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Whether a cap applies can shape how we build your case.

Proving Negligence
Winning a personal injury case means proving the other party owed you a duty of care, breached it, and that breach directly caused measurable harm. We look closely at industry and safety rules that may apply — company policies for commercial drivers, property maintenance standards for local businesses — since violations can help show a pattern of careless behavior that supports your account.
How Our San Antonio Personal Injury Lawyers Handle Your Case
We start by listening to your story and answering your immediate questions about medical bills, time off work, and dealing with adjusters. From there, our team conducts a thorough investigation — obtaining police reports, visiting the accident scene, speaking with witnesses, and consulting with trusted medical professionals to understand the full nature of your injuries.
Once we have a clear picture of what happened and who is responsible, we calculate the value of your claim and present a detailed demand package to the insurance company, handling all negotiations on your behalf. If the other side refuses to be reasonable, we're prepared to file suit in the appropriate Bexar County court and move your case toward trial.
Recovering Compensation
Economic Damages cover measurable financial losses such as medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and future earning capacity, property damage, and rehabilitation and therapy costs — including related out-of-pocket expenses like travel to specialist appointments and home or vehicle modifications.
Non-Economic Damages compensate for intangible losses, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement or disability. Documenting these harms often involves more than medical records — journals, statements from loved ones, and descriptions of daily challenges help convey the full human cost of the collision.
Punitive Damages. In rare cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct — drunk driving, street racing, repeated safety violations by a company — Texas courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
Personal Injury FAQs
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Every case is unique. Your compensation depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Should I Accept the Insurance Company’s First Offer?
Usually not. Insurance companies often offer low settlements to minimize their payout. Always consult a lawyer before accepting any offer.
How Long Will My Case Take?
Some claims settle within months, while others — especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault — can take longer.
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Minor Accident?
Even in minor accidents, hidden injuries or long-term effects may arise. A personal injury lawyer can help you evaluate your rights and avoid being underpaid.
What If I Can’t Afford a Lawyer?
You can still seek justice. We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we win your case.

I had an excellent experience working with KRW Law Firm after my car accident. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my well-being. They took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand, which gave me a lot of peace of mind during a stressful time.

The lawyer Seth Tatom and legal aid Lorna worked hard to get me help in getting my car fixed and compensation for my injuries.

“I was involved in an accident, and I was referred to KRW (Scott, specifically). I had never used a personal injury attorney. I never had the need to. Scott explained the entire process and walked me through it. His first-hand knowledge of insurance companies is invaluable. The insurance company made an initial offer, and he got us 6X that. Not to mention, Scott and his professional team were a pleasure to deal with. I hope I don't have to use a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, I'm calling KRW. No question.”- Wes M.
