Wayne Wright

Some San Antonio injury lawyers work at big firms; Wayne Wright built one. He founded Wayne Wright LLP in San Antonio in 1996 on a straightforward premise — that people hurt by insurance companies and corporations deserve top-tier representation whether or not they can pay for it up front — and he has led the firm as managing partner for nearly three decades since. Under his direction, one San Antonio office has grown into seven locations serving injury victims across Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, and Missouri, while keeping the client-first approach the firm started with.

Wright’s own credentials set the tone. He finished first in his class at Northern Illinois University College of Law, graduating magna cum laude, and carried that competitive streak into the courtroom. Over close to thirty years of practice, his trial record includes some of the largest personal injury verdicts and settlements in Texas history, and he has tried cases everywhere from the Bexar County courthouse to federal courtrooms. Notably, his reputation extends across the aisle: the insurance defense attorneys and corporate lawyers who oppose him know his name, which shapes how they value the cases his firm brings.

His practice centers on the hardest categories of injury work — catastrophic injuries, 18-wheeler and commercial trucking collisions, wrongful death, car accident litigation, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, and complex multi-party cases that involve several defendants pointing fingers at one another. Peer and industry recognition has followed: he is a National Trial Lawyers Top 100 attorney and a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, which is limited to lawyers who have secured recoveries at that level.

Wright is the kind of attorney to call when the stakes are serious — a death in the family, a life-changing injury, a trucking company with a rapid-response defense team, or a case tangled up with multiple corporate defendants. His firm answers around the clock, every day of the week, because evidence in injury cases degrades by the hour while insurance adjusters get to work. Consultations are free, every case is handled on contingency with no upfront fees, and nothing is owed unless the case is won.
