Since November 7, 2000, Texas has not gone a day without a death on its roads. And while the most recent figures show that nationwide roadway fatalities were down in 2017, Texas tops the list of total fatalities across all 50 states. Safe driving is personal to us at Texas Mutual. We provide coverage to 1.5 million workers and see the impact of motor vehicle accidents every day in our claims. So, to help end the streak of deaths on Texas roads, we’re sharing tips to help you and those around you be safer on the road.

Adopt a phone-free while driving policy

Over two years ago, Texas Mutual adopted a phone-free while driving policy. We’ve asked our employees to either wait to return a call or text until they make it safely to their destination or pull over before picking up the phone. We’re upholding our commitment to safety first by shifting the culture from one that is constantly connected. Adopt a phone-free while driving policy for your workplace and download our distraction free while driving poster, also available in Spanish, to promote a safe driving culture.
