What to do after a San Antonio motorcycle crash

The first 24–48 hours after a motorcycle crash often decide the case. Riders are more likely than passenger-vehicle drivers to be transported by EMS — and the at-fault driver's insurer is already calling. Here is what we tell our SA clients:

1. Get medical care immediately. San Antonio has University Health (the region's only Level I trauma center, on the Medical Center campus), Brooke Army Medical Center at Joint Base San Antonio (a federal Level I trauma center that also serves civilian crash victims), Methodist Hospital (Level II), Baptist Medical Center, and Christus Santa Rosa. Even if you feel fine, motorcycle crashes routinely produce concussions, soft-tissue injuries, and internal bleeding that take hours to surface — and a documented medical visit creates a record the at-fault carrier cannot easily dispute later.
2. Report the crash. SAPD handles crashes inside the city; Bexar County Sheriff handles unincorporated Bexar; DPS handles state highways and interstates. Get the case number.
3. Photograph everything. The bike, the at-fault vehicle, the scene, license plates, road conditions, sight lines from the driver's position, skid marks, debris pattern, your gear, and any visible injuries. Memories fade. Adjusters exploit gaps. Photos do not.
4. Get witness contact info. Motorcycle cases turn on who-was-where evidence. An independent witness can decide whether the case settles for fair value or fights at trial. Get a name and phone number before the witness leaves the scene.
5. Do not give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurance company. Their adjusters call within hours and they are trained to get statements that limit your recovery. You are not required to talk to them. Refer them to us.
6. Call a lawyer before you sign anything. Early settlement offers are almost always low — and once you sign a release, you cannot reopen the claim even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected. We send preservation-of-evidence letters within hours so dashcam footage, traffic-cam video, and the at-fault vehicle's ECM data are locked down before the routine destruction window passes.

San Antonio motorcycle hot spots

San Antonio sits at the gateway to Hill Country riding routes and the South Texas highway grid. The corridors and route segments below produce most of our motorcycle case files:

• I-35 through Bexar County. The single heaviest cross-border freight artery in the country mixes long-haul 18-wheelers with passenger cars and motorcycles. Construction zones north and south of downtown produce a steady churn of rear-end and merging crashes.
• I-10 west of San Antonio. The route to Boerne, Comfort, Kerrville, and the Texas Hill Country. Long straightaways combined with sudden slowdowns at exits produce high-energy crashes when drivers fail to see motorcycles in their lane.
• Loop 1604. The outer loop. 65–70 mph posted speeds, heavy commuter traffic on the north and northwest segments around La Cantera, the Medical Center, and Stone Oak. New managed-lane segments add toll-lane merging confusion that disproportionately catches motorcycles.
• Loop 410 (IH-410). The inner loop. Tight curves at the I-10/I-410 and I-35/I-410 interchanges and constant merging produce side-swipe and lane-change crashes.
• US-281 north into Hill Country. The route to Bulverde, Spring Branch, and Blanco. Popular weekend riding route with two-lane sections, passing zones, and wildlife crossings. Crashes here often involve vehicles crossing center lines or failing to yield at private drives and FM-road intersections.
• The Twisted Sisters (RR 335, RR 336, RR 337). The classic Hill Country motorcycle loop northwest of San Antonio. Riders coming home from Leakey, Vanderpool, and Medina occasionally end up in SA-area emergency rooms after crashes on the curves or at intersections with US-90 and US-83.
• US-90 west of San Antonio. Castroville, Hondo, and Uvalde route. Two-lane sections, oncoming traffic, and passing zones produce head-on motorcycle crashes when drivers misjudge passes.
• Downtown surface streets. The River Walk perimeter, the King William District, and the Pearl/Broadway corridor produce intersection crashes and dooring incidents involving motorcycles and Vespa/scooter riders.
