Common Corpus Christi accidents

Refinery and Industrial Accidents

Corpus has major refineries — Citgo, Flint Hills, Valero. Industrial accidents and chemical exposures create some of our most significant cases.

I-37 Trucking Crashes

Heavy commercial trucking on I-37 between Houston and Corpus generates serious 18-wheeler accident cases.

SPID and Beach Traffic

South Padre Island Drive (SPID) is heavily congested year-round and especially during tourist season.

Maritime and Port Injuries

Port of Corpus Christi is one of the largest in the country. Maritime worker injuries are governed by federal maritime law (Jones Act) and require specialized handling.
