When thousands of San Antonio families gather at the Univision Contigo Health Fair on Saturday, Sept. 26, they will find free health screenings, community resources and, for the first time, a dedicated legal presence. George Salinas Injury Lawyers, a San Antonio-based personal injury firm with 20 years of service to South Texas, will join more than 50 organizations at the event, becoming the only legal practice on site. The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Rancho El Chema Event Center, 19935 U.S. Highway 281, and organizers expect more than 2,500 attendees, many from low-income and Spanish-speaking households who face the greatest barriers to care.
The firm's decision to participate reflects a broader understanding that access to justice and access to health care are often intertwined. For families on the South Side, a single injury can spiral into medical debt, lost wages and legal uncertainty. By placing legal guidance in the same space where residents seek medical attention and social services, George Salinas Injury Lawyers aims to remove the intimidation and distance that can keep injured individuals from learning about their rights.
"At George Salinas Injury Lawyers, we believe serving our community extends far beyond the courtroom," said George Salinas, founder and CEO. "The Univision Contigo Health Fair gives us an opportunity to connect families with valuable health and community resources, and we are honored to stand alongside organizations dedicated to improving the well-being of our neighbors across San Antonio."
Employee volunteers will staff the firm's booth throughout the day, greeting attendees and offering family-friendly activities. Giveaways include 2027 wall calendars for tracking appointments and magnets that keep the firm's contact information close at home. These practical items underscore a simple message: help should be easy to find and easy to remember, especially for families managing busy schedules and limited resources.
"Our team is proud to volunteer at this event and support an effort that empowers families through education and access to services," Salinas added. "Strengthening our community as a trusted resource is one of the most meaningful ways to give back."
The implications of this announcement reach beyond a single Saturday. As the only law firm at the fair, George Salinas Injury Lawyers is signaling that legal professionals can and should meet families where they already are—at health fairs, schools and neighborhood events—rather than waiting for them to seek help in a moment of crisis. For an underserved community, that proximity can make the difference between suffering in silence and knowing where to turn.

Saturday's booth represents one day in a longer commitment. For 20 years, the firm has supported schools, first responders and neighborhood events across the city. The Contigo Health Fair brings that work face-to-face with thousands of local residents, reinforcing the firm's role as a trusted legal resource in the same places families already turn for education, services and a better quality of life. In a city where health and legal disparities often overlap, having a law firm at the table—alongside medical providers and nonprofits—is a small but meaningful step toward a more connected, responsive support system for South Texas families.
