Serving El Paso

Texas experience applied to El Paso roads.

El Paso sits on I-10 at the junction of two countries and three states, with heavy commercial truck traffic to and from the ports of entry and fast-moving traffic on Loop 375 and US-54.

Every case still turns on its own evidence. The firm evaluates the crash, the insurance coverage, the injuries, the responsible parties, and the legal options available under Texas law.

Where crashes happen

Why are El Paso roads so dangerous?

I-10 is El Paso’s main east-west highway, and almost everything moves on it: commuters, cross-border trucks from the Bridge of the Americas and Ysleta ports of entry, and long-haul freight between the coasts. Loop 375 and the Border Highway carry the port traffic around the city at speed, and US-54 brings Fort Bliss and Northeast traffic into the same interchanges. Mountain weather, dust storms, and a single point of failure on I-10 make El Paso crashes frequent and multi-vehicle.

The corridors where El Paso crashes cluster

  • I-10 through downtown and the Spaghetti Bowl interchange with US-54
  • I-10 East at Loop 375 and Zaragoza Road
  • Loop 375 Border Highway near the Ysleta port of entry
  • US-54 Patriot Freeway at Fort Bliss
  • Montana Avenue (US-62/180) on the East Side
  • Mesa Street and Sunland Park Drive on the West Side

Crashes common in El Paso

A Mexican-domiciled tractor-trailer leaving the Ysleta port of entry sideswipes a sedan on Loop 375; the carrier’s U.S. insurer and the trailer owner dispute coverage.

A dust storm on I-10 east of the city causes a chain-reaction crash; the injured driver in the fourth car has claims against three insurers.

A soldier from Fort Bliss is hit by a distracted driver on US-54; his claim coordinates with military medical care.
