Sporting venues present many injury risks.
Summer in Texas is packed with concerts, music festivals, cultural celebrations, and sporting events. With major events like the FIFA World Cup drawing thousands of visitors, stadiums, parks, arenas, and entertainment venues become some of the busiest places in the state.
Prevention saves lives.
June is National Safety Month, a time to focus on preventing injuries before they happen. While some accidents are truly unavoidable, many serious injuries occur because someone failed to take reasonable precautions.
June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month.
As the population ages, the demand for nursing homes and other long-term care facilities continues to grow. Roughly 4 million Americans use some form of long-term care each year, and experts predict that nearly 70% of adults over age 65 will need long-term care services at some point in their lives.
National Poison Prevention Week was observed on March 15-23 in 2026.
Poisoning incidents are more common than many people realize. In 2024 alone, about 2.1 million human poison exposure calls were handled across the United States, according to poison control data.

Injuries at high school football games can have lifelong consequences.
Cheering for your favorite team should be about excitement and community—not about ending the night in the emergency room. While injuries to players are an expected part of sports, injuries to fans in the stands or at tailgates are often overlooked. With football season back in full swing, it’s worth taking a closer look at the risks fans face at games and what legal options are available when those risks turn into real harm.
Parents may have legal options if negligence caused their child’s sports injury.
As students head back to class, athletes are also returning to fields, courts, and gyms. Sports naturally come with risk — bumps, bruises, and the occasional sprain are all part of the game. But when injuries go beyond what’s expected, parents often ask: when is it just part of the sport, and when does negligence make schools or coaches legally responsible?
Who’s to blame when your child is injured in a school zone?
As another school year begins in Texas, safety—not school supplies—should be the top priority. The start of the year brings an increase in students walking, biking, and boarding buses. Unfortunately, it also brings a higher risk of school zone crashes. In 2024, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) recorded 781 school zone traffic crashes statewide, prompting calls for extra caution from drivers, parents, and the community.
Pedestrian accidents are more likely during warmer months.
As summer brings longer days and warmer weather, more Texans head outdoors to walk, jog, cycle, or simply enjoy the sunshine. But with more people on foot, there’s also an increased risk of pedestrian accidents.
Celebrate your grad the safe way in 2025.
Graduation is a time of joy, pride, and celebration—a moment that marks the culmination of years of hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance for both students and their families. It’s a milestone worth celebrating, often with a party hosted by family or friends who want to provide a safe environment for teens to gather.
Some spring cleaning injuries are the result of negligence.
Spring cleaning is a tradition that dates back centuries. It marks a time of renewal—a fresh start and a clean slate, both literally and symbolically. As we clear away the clutter of winter and prepare our homes for warmer days, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of deep cleaning and forget about safety.
