San Antonio’s Industrial Landscape Creates Complex Multi-Party Workplace Injury Cases
San Antonio’s growth — Loop 1604 expansion, VIA Rapid Transit construction, South Texas Medical Center development, Port San Antonio aerospace operations, the Toyota Manufacturing Plant on US-90, and H-E-B’s distribution infrastructure — makes Bexar County one of the most active workplace injury jurisdictions in South Texas. Wayne Wright handles every category with the full infrastructure needed to pursue non-subscriber claims, third-party claims, and OSHA records simultaneously.
