Serving Galveston
Texas experience applied to Galveston roads.
Galveston County’s traffic runs on I-45 between Houston and the island, with tourist volume on the Seawall and FM 3005 and heavy petrochemical truck traffic through Texas City and La Marque.
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 Galveston roads so dangerous?
The road to Galveston is the danger. I-45 between League City and the causeway is one of the most dangerous stretches of freeway in the Houston region, carrying beach traffic, commuters, and petrochemical trucks from Texas City on the same lanes at the same speed. On the island, Seawall Boulevard mixes pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers on vacation, and FM 3005 runs the length of the West End as a largely undivided road.
