Today, OnderLaw attorney Wylie Blair is in Washington, D.C., standing before the United States Supreme Court in the Monsanto v. Durnell case—fighting for accountability (with Roe Frazer) at the highest level of our legal system. This case is bigger than one company or one claim. It’s about protecting people’s right to seek justice when they’ve been harmed.
We are incredibly proud to stand behind Wylie as he takes on this fight. It’s a reflection of who we are at OnderLaw: we don’t just take on cases—we take on causes.

Work zones are more than lane closures and orange barrels. They are active job sites where people are working to repair, improve, and maintain the roads we all rely on. Cones, signs, and reduced speed limits are there to protect both those workers and the drivers passing through. Staying off your phone, following posted speed limits, and driving carefully in construction areas can help prevent unnecessary accidents and fatalities.

As we continue to observe National Work Zone Awareness Week, this is an important reminder to use extra caution in work zones and respect the workers behind the cones. Safe driving through construction areas helps protect road crews, other drivers, and everyone in your vehicle.

If another driver’s careless behavior caused a work zone crash that left you injured, a car accident lawyer may be able to help you understand your legal options. Contact OnderLaw for a free consultation.

Construction vehicles may be entering, exiting, stopping, or moving slowly in and around highway work zones. During National Work Zone Awareness Week, this is an important reminder to expect the unexpected in and around construction areas. Staying alert and giving these vehicles extra space can help reduce the risk of a serious car accident.

Keep your eyes on the road, follow posted signs, and be prepared for changing traffic patterns when construction vehicles are nearby. Drivers who are speeding, following too closely, or not paying attention may have less time to react when a dump truck, work truck, or other construction vehicle pulls onto the road.

If you were hurt in a car accident caused by a careless or inattentive driver in a work zone, you may have legal options. An experienced car accident lawyer can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation for your injuries. Contact OnderLaw for a free consultation.

Rear-end crashes are especially common in work zones, where traffic can slow down or stop with little warning. Lower speed limits, narrowed lanes, lane shifts, uneven pavement, and construction activity all make it more important to leave extra following distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you. Giving yourself more room means more time to react safely when conditions change.

As we continue to observe National Work Zone Awareness Week, it’s a good reminder that safe driving habits matter even more in construction zones. A little extra space can help reduce the risk of a serious car accident and protect both drivers and road workers.

If you were injured because another driver was following too closely or failed to slow down in a work zone, you may have legal options. Speaking with an experienced car accident lawyer can help you better understand your rights after a crash. Contact OnderLaw for a free consultation.

Distracted driving is dangerous anywhere, but it is especially risky in work zones where traffic patterns can change quickly. Reduced speed limits, narrow lanes, flaggers, sudden slowdowns, and roadside crews all require your full attention behind the wheel. Looking down at a phone for even a second or two can cause a serious car accident in a construction zone.

During National Work Zone Awareness Week, drivers should remember that staying focused is one of the simplest ways to help protect other drivers and road workers. Put the phone away, keep your eyes on the road, and be prepared for changing conditions ahead.

If you were injured in a car accident because another driver was distracted in a work zone, you may have the right to seek compensation. Speaking with an experienced car accident lawyer can help you understand your options. Contact OnderLaw for a free consultation.

Many members of the OnderLaw team attended the annual St. Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness Living Out Loud Gala. We are honored to continue our longstanding sponsorship of such a meaningful evening. There are always moments from this evening that stay with us—but this year, the night belonged to Carmelina Mattera. Her story captivated and inspired the entire room, reminding us all why this work matters. While we wish events like this didn’t have to exist, we are proud to celebrate survivors—and to honor and remember those we have lost to ovarian cancer.
