Practice Areas

The Team Practice Areas

The team at the Law Offices of Ronald A. Ramos handles a wide range of personal injury and related cases. Some of our core practice areas include:

Car Accidents – Thousands of people are killed and many more injured in Texas car crashes each year. When those accidents are caused by negligent actions like drunk driving, distracted driving, speeding, or disregarding traffic signals, those who have been injured or lost loved ones may be entitled to compensation. But, insurance companies don’t always play fair. An experienced car accident attorney can help.

Truck Accidents – Large truck accidents and other commercial motor vehicle accidents are often more serious than passenger car crashes, due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved. Truck accident cases may also be more complicated, due to the intersection of state and federal laws, the likelihood of out-of-state responsible parties, and more complex technical issues.

Motorcycle Accidents – In most cases, Texas law treats motorcycles just like any other type of vehicle on the road. Riders must obey the same traffic rules and laws as other drivers, and operators of all types vehicles are responsible for the safety of their passengers.

Bus Accidents – If you are using or driving near a city bus, you reasonably expect that bus and the bus driver will conform to the most stringent safety standards possible. Unfortunately, too often city buses fall far short of adequate safety standards.

Pedestrian Accidents – Texas certainly gets its share of auto-pedestrian accidents. But unlike many other places in the U.S., the Lone Star State does not always give the right-of-way to pedestrians. In other words, whenever a vehicle strikes a someone on foot, the driver isn’t automatically held liable for the accident.

Workers’ Compensation – The Texas workers’ compensation system was designed to ensure that injured workers have access to medical care and replacement income regardless of fault. Workers’ compensation is often described as an exclusive remedy, but that’s only in relation to the injured worker’s employer. If you’ve been injured on the job, you owe it to yourself to explore other possible responsible parties—you may be entitled to more compensation than workers’ comp will provide.

Work Injuries – Many attorneys focus exclusively on workers’ compensation benefits when handling an on-the-job injury case. Our attorneys know that in many cases, third parties are legally responsible for work injuries, and that exploring those possibilities can lead to significantly larger settlements.

Dog Bites – Dog bites can be serious. About 1,000 Americans receive emergency medical treatment for dog bites each day, and nearly 10,000 are hospitalized each year. Under Texas law, the victim of a dog bite may be entitled to damages if the dog had bitten or behaved aggressively before, or if the attack resulted from the owner’s negligent handling or restraint of the animal.

Wrongful Death – Under Texas law, the spouse, children, or parents of a person killed through the negligence of another may recover for their losses, including loss of both financial and emotional support. The estate of the deceased may also be entitled to recover for damages suffered by the deceased prior to death, such as pain and suffering.

Brain Injuries – A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can occur when some type of force strikes, fractures, or penetrates the skull. While different types of accidents can create the necessary force to cause this type of injury, car accidents are the leading cause.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect – Texas requires that certain standards be met for the many assisted living facilities in the state. The goal of the Health and Safety Code is to ensure that institutions deliver the highest possible quality of care.

Premises Liability – “Premises liability” often shows up in the news as slip and fall accidents. However, premises liability cases can actually involve any injuries you experience on someone else’s property.

Car Accident Claims

San Antonio is one of the most dangerous cities in Texas for car accidents. With major highways like I-35, I-10, Loop 410, and Loop 1604 carrying heavy traffic through the city, collisions are a daily occurrence. Our attorneys handle all types of motor vehicle accident cases, including rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, chain reaction accidents, failure to yield accidents, and accidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists.

We also handle specialized vehicle accident cases including motorcycle accidents, bus accidents, and pedestrian accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in any type of vehicle accident, our team can help you pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Truck Accident Cases

Commercial truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or death due to the massive size and weight of 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and other commercial vehicles. Our firm has significant experience handling complex trucking accident cases that involve multiple liable parties, including truck drivers, trucking companies, vehicle manufacturers, and cargo loading companies. We understand federal motor carrier safety regulations and use that knowledge to hold negligent parties accountable.

Work Injury Claims

Workplace injuries can happen in any industry, but they are especially common in construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and warehouse operations. Our work injury attorneys help injured workers pursue compensation whether their employer carries workers’ compensation insurance or not. For employees of non-subscribing employers, we can file a personal injury lawsuit to recover full damages including pain and suffering, which are not available through the workers’ compensation system.

We also represent undocumented workers who have been injured on the job. Texas law protects all workers regardless of immigration status, and our attorneys are experienced in handling these sensitive cases with confidentiality and care.

Workers’ Compensation

Navigating the Texas workers’ compensation system can be overwhelming, especially when you are dealing with a serious injury. Our attorneys guide clients through every step of the process, from filing the initial claim to appealing denied benefits. We help injured workers obtain medical treatment, temporary income benefits, impairment income benefits, and supplemental income benefits.

If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied or you believe you are not receiving the benefits you deserve, we can help. We also handle cases where employers do not carry workers’ compensation insurance and cases involving retaliatory termination for filing a claim.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for their loss. Our wrongful death attorneys handle claims arising from car accidents, truck accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, and other incidents caused by negligence. We help families recover damages for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and mental anguish.

Premises Liability

Property owners in Texas have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so and someone is injured as a result, the property owner may be liable for damages. Our premises liability practice covers slip and fall accidents, inadequate security, swimming pool accidents, dog bites, and injuries caused by dangerous property conditions. We investigate the property owner’s knowledge of the hazard and whether they took reasonable steps to address it.
