I Was Injured During Fiesta; What Can I Do?

Fiesta is one of the most anticipated and thrilling annual events in San Antonio. This event brings several million people together to watch the parades, enjoy the music, and eat amazing food. While Fiesta is a great time for many, unfortunately, there is always the risk of accidents and injuries.

Were you injured while walking around Fiesta?

Fiesta is a walkable event that takes place every April in San Antonio. Visitors walk around taking part in the celebrations and festivities. However, the various construction projects and work zones around the downtown area put a damper on many attendees’ plans this year. The executive director of the Fiesta Commission, Steve Rosenauer, warned  before the event that construction would most likely bring challenges. The construction and road work even affected some of the Fiesta parade routes, requiring Rosenauer and his team to make accommodations to ensure that floats and participants could pass through.

In addition, some of the seating usually provided to attendees near the Rivercenter Mall and the Alamo Plaza was not available this year. Many people were left standing and drivers were confused about which ways to go due to the many road closures. People who planned to attend Fiesta were encouraged to plan early regarding how they would get to the event. Areas for parking and public transportation were available to get to the downtown area where Fiesta was held, but many people still needed to walk, leaving the door wide open for pedestrian accidents.

Were you injured u a drunk driver during Fiesta?

When you walked around Fiesta you likely noticed people carrying alcoholic beverages. It may come as no surprise that drunk driving increases by about 20 percent during Fiesta San Antonio. For this reason, everyone who plans to drink is strongly encouraged to have a designated driver, use rideshare services, or take public transportation to reach their destination after the event. However, many people still choose to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol. Alcohol can severely impair a driver’s reaction times, judgment, decision making, and coordination.

As a result, they are more likely to make mistakes, such as swerving, failing to stop at traffic lights or signs, or driving too fast or too slow. This is alarming, as it puts the 3.5 million people who attend Fiesta and the San Antonio community at large at risk of drunk driving accidents and life-threatening injuries. Even if you are a careful and safe driver, a drunk driver’s poor decisions could cause serious injury to you and your passengers.
