Share the Road.Ideas for safer roads.

Congratulations to our 2023 scholarship recipient! For 2024, Valero Law Group announced a $1,000 Share the Road Scholarship for students' ideas to make roads safer for drivers, pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists.

Our community outreach

The questionstudents answered.

As personal injury attorneys, we see cases for all different types of accidents. We want to hear ways to keep our roads safe and how we can make an effort to encourage good driving behaviors to share the road with others, whether they be pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, or others.
