Life and Work in Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi is built around its bay and its port. The Port of Corpus Christi is one of the busiest in the country, and refineries, shipyards, wind and energy operations employ thousands of people in jobs where a single mistake can cause life-changing injuries.
Traffic reflects that economy. I-37 carries freight between the coast and San Antonio, tanker and haul trucks move through the port and industrial districts, and South Padre Island Drive stays congested through the day. Add beach and tourist traffic in summer, and the city sees a wide mix of serious crashes.
ZIP codes we serve include 78401, 78404, 78411 and 78412

Corpus Christi Personal Injury FAQ
Can a San Antonio lawyer handle my Corpus Christi case?
Yes. Marco Crawford is licensed in Texas and handles cases across the state, including Nueces County. He grew up in the Corpus Christi area, and we can meet by phone, by video or in person.
I was hurt at a refinery through a staffing contractor. Who is responsible?
It depends on who controlled the work and the site. The contractor, the plant owner and equipment makers may all share responsibility, and your options also depend on whether your employer carries workers' compensation.
Will I have to travel to San Antonio for my case?
No. Most of a case is handled by phone, email and video, and court appearances happen where the case is filed, not where your lawyer's office is.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Texas?
For most Texas personal injury cases, the deadline is two years from the date of the injury. Some claims, especially against a city or government entity, have much shorter notice deadlines. The sooner you call, the more we can do.
