Unique Personal Injury Risks to San Marcos

As the home of Texas State University and located directly along the I-35 freight corridor, San Marcos faces a perfect storm of risk: distracted student drivers, heavy pedestrian activity, and dangerous truck traffic. As such, the community faces higher injury risks in the following ways:

High Foot and Bike Traffic

With thousands of Texas State University students walking and biking near major roadways like Aquarena Springs Drive and Sessom Drive, the risk of pedestrian and cyclist accidents is significantly higher, especially during peak class hours or campus events.

Inexperienced and Distracted Drivers

Many students are new drivers or new to the area, increasing the likelihood of distracted or reckless driving. Rideshare traffic and delivery vehicles also add to the congestion near campus.

Weekend and Nightlife Accidents

San Marcos’ vibrant nightlife, fueled by bars, concerts, and university events, often contributes to a spike in alcohol-related crashes, especially on Thursday through Saturday nights.

I-35 Corridor

I-35 runs directly through San Marcos, making it a hotspot for high-speed collisions, especially involving commercial trucks and 18-wheelers. This highway is one of the most crash-prone in Texas.

Seasonal Risk Spikes

Move-in weekends, spring break, and football season create traffic surges that dramatically increase the likelihood of wrecks, often involving out-of-town drivers unfamiliar with the area.

Our attorneys know the challenges this city faces and how to hold negligent drivers and commercial carriers accountable when their carelessness causes harm.
