“Ambulance chaser.”
It’s a phrase that gets thrown around whenever someone talks about a San Antonio personal injury lawyer.
But here’s a question worth asking: Who benefits from that stereotype?
Insurance companies spend millions every year defending claims and limiting payouts. Framing personal injury lawyers as opportunistic shifts attention away from the real issue, whether an injured person is being treated fairly.
The Ethical Reality
Texas attorneys are bound by strict rules that prohibit direct solicitation of accident victims. The State Bar of Texas regulates lawyer advertising and conduct.
We cannot:
- Approach you at an accident scene.
- Pressure you at a hospital.
- Chase clients.
And we wouldn’t want to.
What Happens After an Accident
After a crash in San Antonio, things move quickly.
Insurance adjusters call.
Statements are requested.
Settlement offers may be presented, sometimes before the full extent of injuries is known.
While you’re trying to recover, the insurance company is evaluating exposure and protecting its financial interests.
That’s not personal. It’s business.
But it’s also why having an experienced personal injury lawyer matters.
David knows this firsthand. Before advocating for injured clients, he worked for an insurance defense firm in Dallas, Texas for nearly 10 years. He saw how claims were assessed and how unfair the claims process was. .
Now, that knowledge works for accident victims, not against them.
