What to do now
What should you do after a motorcycle accident in San Antonio?
- Get examined the same day. University Hospital (Level I trauma) and Brooke Army Medical Center (Level I trauma) handle the serious motorcycle accident injuries from San Antonio; an urgent care visit the same day is enough to start the record if you are not transported.
- Photograph the vehicles, the road, and your injuries where it happened, especially on I-10 and I-35, where scenes are cleared within minutes.
- Get the San Antonio crash report. San Antonio Police Department and Bexar County Sheriff reports are available through the TxDOT Crash Report Online Purchase System, usually within 10 days. The firm obtains it for clients at no charge.
- Report the crash to your own insurer, but give no recorded statement to the other driver’s carrier until you have counsel.

Common questions
San Antonio motorcycle accident questions
Where do San Antonio motorcycle accidents happen most?
Bandera Road, Culebra Road, the Loop 410 frontage roads, and the Hill Country routes north of Loop 1604 on weekends.
What if I am active-duty military and was hit while riding?
The claim against the at-fault driver proceeds normally. Military medical care and TRICARE have reimbursement rights the firm handles as part of the settlement.
What if loose gravel from a work zone caused my San Antonio motorcycle crash?
Gravel and debris are far more dangerous to a motorcycle than to a car. A contractor that left loose material across a lane on Loop 1604 or US-281 without warning can be responsible. If the hazard was on a state or city road with no contractor involved, the claim falls under the Texas Tort Claims Act, with short notice deadlines.
How is a motorcycle valued after a total loss in Bexar County?
Insurers pay actual cash value, which is what the motorcycle was worth just before the crash. Aftermarket parts like custom exhausts, seats, and paint are often missed unless you document them with receipts and photos. A comparable sales search for the same model in the San Antonio market is the strongest evidence of value.
