San Marcos Personal Injury FAQ
I was hit by a truck on I-35 in San Marcos. Who is responsible?
It depends on the driver, the trucking company and sometimes whoever loaded or maintained the trailer. We work to get the logs and the carrier's records before they disappear.
Do I need a San Marcos lawyer, or can a San Antonio firm take my case?
Marco Crawford Law handles cases in Hays County. We can meet by phone or video, and we come to you if you're injured and can't travel.
Where are crash reports kept for accidents near San Marcos?
It depends on who responded: the San Marcos Police Department inside the city, or the Hays County Sheriff's Office or DPS outside it. We request the right report for you.

For most Texas personal injury cases, the deadline is two years from the date of the injury. Some claims, especially against a city or government entity, have much shorter notice deadlines. The sooner you call, the more we can do.
