Texas roads were connected to more fatal crashes than any other state’s roads between 2020 and 2024, according to a new nationwide study we reviewed from George Salinas Injury Lawyers. The report analyzed condition-related fatalities, meaning deaths tied to work zones, poor surface conditions, or road defects, across 49 states, and Texas topped the…
The answer hinges on a detail almost nobody thinks to preserve: what the delivery app was showing when the crash happened. That single fact can be the difference between a policy worth a few thousand dollars and one worth far more. It is also the reason these claims get denied more often than ordinary…
A FedEx truck looks like a single company on the road. Legally, it often is not. The driver, the truck, and the delivery route can belong to three different businesses, and the name painted on the side may be the only thing FedEx directly supplied. That structure is not an accident of history. It…
Getting hit by a van with an Amazon logo on the side feels like it should make the claim simple. It usually does the opposite, because the person driving may not work for Amazon at all. Amazon delivers through a layered structure of contracted businesses and independent drivers. Sorting out which layer applies is…
Figuring out who is liable in a truck accident is more complicated than it is after a two-car collision, because a single tractor-trailer often ties together four or five separate businesses. The driver may work for one company, the trailer may belong to another, and the freight may have been loaded by a third….
Most articles on this topic list whatever Uber’s website said the week they were written. That is why they disagree with each other and why they go stale quickly. There are really two layers here. Texas has statewide rules for rideshare companies, written into the Occupations Code and enforced through the Texas Department of…
A broken tailbone rarely sounds serious when described out loud, which is part of the problem. The coccyx is small, the injury is usually treated conservatively, and people are often told to sit on a cushion and wait it out. Then weeks pass, sitting still hurts, and work becomes difficult. Coccyx injuries take longer…
Rideshare crashes look like ordinary car accidents at the scene. The insurance behind them rarely is. When the driver who hit you was working for Uber or Lyft, your claim can involve the driver’s personal policy, a company policy, and sometimes your own coverage at once. That layered setup is a big reason people…
San Antonio is one of the highest-risk cities in Texas for delivery truck accidents because three of the busiest commercial freight corridors in the country, I-35, I-10, and I-37, converge inside Bexar County, creating a concentration of commercial vehicle traffic that few other Texas cities match. That freight volume intersects with a rapidly expanding…
Key Takeaways: Memphis, Tennessee ranked as the deadliest city for rush hour crashes, with the highest rate and risk score in the study. Phoenix, Arizona had the second highest risk score, but had the highest overall number of fatal rush hour crashes. Texas dominates the rankings, with nine cities appearing in the top 70…
