Port Aransas Roads Can Be Risky 

Port Aransas is a charming beach town known for its fishing, tourism, and relaxed pace, but its roads tell a different story. 

 

Accidents are often caused by: 

  • Out-of-town drivers unfamiliar with local traffic patterns 
  • Congested seasonal traffic on SH 361, Cotter Ave, and Alister Street 
  • Distracted or impaired drivers 
  • Golf carts and bikes sharing the road with cars 
  • Poor visibility or speeding during ferry crossings or in heavy rain

Whether you were hit on a quiet residential street or T-boned near a busy beach intersection, the outcome is often the same: painful injuries, mounting bills, and a lot of unanswered questions. 

 

Common Injuries from Port Aransas Car Accidents 

At A2X Law, we regularly represent victims who suffer: 

  • Whiplash and soft tissue injuries 
  • Broken bones or fractures 
  • Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs 
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) 
  • Cuts, bruises, and burns 
  • Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) 

 

Even injuries that seem minor at first can worsen over time and lead to expensive hospital stays, rehab, or surgery. We always emphasize that you should seek medical help right away after an accident, even if it doesn't seem serious at first.  

 

The Real Cost of a Car Accident 

After a crash, victims may face: 

  • Emergency room visits and imaging (MRIs, CT scans) 
  • Surgery and post-op care 
  • Physical therapy 
  • Prescription medications 
  • Lost wages from missed work 
  • Transportation costs for treatment 
  • Emotional and mental health counseling 

 

These costs can quickly spiral into tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the severity of the accident. We understand that this can be an overwhelming realization, especially when you are already vulnerable. 

 

Who Pays for Your Medical Bills? 

In Texas, who pays depends on fault and insurance coverage. Here’s how it breaks down: 


1. The At-Fault Driver’s Insurance 

If the other driver caused the accident, their liability insurance is responsible for your damages, including medical bills. However, obtaining full compensation often requires negotiation or litigation, especially if your costs exceed the policy limits. 

 

2. Your Own Insurance (PIP or MedPay) 

Texas policies often include Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay). These can help pay your bills, regardless of who is at fault. 

 

3. Health Insurance 

Your health insurance may help cover costs in the short term, but it often seeks reimbursement from your eventual settlement. This is a process called subrogation. 

 

4. Out-of-Pocket 

Sadly, many victims pay up front or go into debt while waiting for a claim to resolve. This is why having an attorney is critical. 

 

Who Can Be Held Liable? 

Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may be legally responsible, including: 

  • The negligent driver 
  • A commercial vehicle operator or their employer (delivery drivers, rideshare, etc.) 
  • A bar or restaurant that overserved a drunk driver (under Texas’s Dram Shop Laws) 
  • A vehicle manufacturer (in product defect cases) 
  • A local government entity (for poorly maintained roads)
