Accident Lawyer in Uvalde, Texas
Where US-90 and US-83 cross. More than 30 years handling highway crashes for South Texas families.
Uvalde is a crossroads in the most literal sense: two federal highways, US-90 and US-83, intersect right here. Traffic moving east–west between Del Rio and San Antonio meets traffic running north–south through the Hill Country, and all of it funnels through the same town.
That's why so many Uvalde County crashes are highway crashes rather than fender-benders. Outside town these are two-lane roads with narrow shoulders, mixing local drivers, ranch trucks, freight and — in warm months — a steady stream of visitors heading to the Frio River and Garner State Park who don't know the roads.
We handle Uvalde County cases from our office in Eagle Pass, about 70 miles west. Bilingual team, and no fee unless we win.
Where crashes happen in Uvalde
In a town built around a highway junction, the danger points are predictable:
Two federal highways meeting means constant turning movements across traffic that's still moving at highway speed. Left turns and misjudged gaps make this the single biggest source of serious crashes in the county.
Two lanes, narrow shoulders and slow-moving farm equipment. Drivers pull out to pass and meet oncoming traffic — head-on collisions here are frequently fatal.
Long, straight and empty. That combination invites speed and drowsy driving, and there's little forgiveness when a vehicle drifts off the pavement.
In warm months this fills with visitors towing tubes, campers and boats. Drivers unfamiliar with the curves, plus loaded trailers, produce rollovers and run-off-road crashes.
A rural route with elevation changes and wildlife. Night crashes and single-vehicle run-offs concentrate here.
Highway traffic slowing into a town center where people park, cross and back out. Pedestrian and low-speed intersection crashes happen here.
Cases we handle in Uvalde
The two-lane stretches around Uvalde produce the most serious injuries we see. These cases turn on speed, road position and the physical evidence left at the scene.
The US-90/US-83 junction generates a steady stream of T-bone collisions. Fault often comes down to who had the right of way and how fast each vehicle was going.
Freight moving between Del Rio, Eagle Pass and San Antonio passes through Uvalde. Federal rules and driver logs apply, and that evidence can be overwritten in weeks.
Common with recreation traffic on US-83. A badly loaded trailer or an inexperienced tow driver can cause a crash that injures people in other vehicles.
If a third party — a contractor, an equipment maker, another company — caused your injury, you may have a claim beyond workers' comp, regardless of immigration status.
Head-on highway crashes are the ones most likely to take a life. Texas allows the spouse, children and parents to file, and we handle these cases with care.
What to do after a crash in Uvalde
On rural highways help takes longer to arrive and evidence disappears with weather and traffic. The first hours matter.
- 1Call 911. Uvalde PD covers crashes in the city; the Uvalde County Sheriff's Office and DPS cover the highways. Make sure a report is written.
- 2Get checked at Uvalde Memorial Hospital, even if you feel fine. Neck, back and head injuries often show up a day or two later.
- 3Photograph the road position — skid marks, the center line, debris and where each vehicle stopped. In two-lane crashes that's what proves fault.
- 4Collect witness information immediately. On a highway, witnesses leave and are never located again.
- 5Don't give a recorded statement and don't sign anything before someone reviews it.
- 6Call us. We serve Uvalde County from Eagle Pass and the consultation is free.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take cases in Uvalde?+
Yes. Uvalde County is part of our service area. Our office is in Eagle Pass, about 70 miles west, and we can meet you in Uvalde.
The other driver was passing on a two-lane road. Who's at fault?+
It usually depends on whether passing was legal at that point and where each vehicle was when they collided. Skid marks and final rest positions are often what decides it, which is why scene photos matter so much.
I was hit by someone from out of town on their way to the river. Does that matter?+
Not for your right to recover. Their insurance still applies, and if they were towing something, the way the trailer was loaded can become part of the case.
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.
How much does it cost to talk to you?+
Nothing. The consultation is free and confidential, and we work on contingency: you only pay if we win.
