The last icon\n     (FAQ plus toggle) is now inline SVG. Zero icon-font requests.\n  3) Hero image is a real <img fetchpriority=\"high\"> + preload,\n     so it's the discoverable, high-priority LCP element.\n  4) REDESIGN PASS (this version, matching the car accidents page):\n     * Category nav is now the car-page sticky TOC: progress bar,\n       mono uppercase pills, gold active state, scroll-spy\n     * Numbered stripe eyebrows on every section (01-08)\n     * Breadcrumb added to the hero\n     * On-brand color variety: gold halos, warm amber workplace\n       band, gold-railed premises cards, full-gold 4.9 score panel\n     * Catastrophic section background swapped to\n       average-truck-accident-case-values.webp\n     * Eye candy: hero entrance, scroll reveals with stagger,\n       count-up stats, shimmer on the gold panel, micro-motion\n     * JSON-LD added: LegalService + FAQPage + BreadcrumbList\n     * All scripts armored for WP Rocket \/ wptexturize\n  5) INTERNAL LINKS UPDATED (this version) to the live canonical\n     practice-area slugs in sitemaps.xml, and to the newly published\n     standalone pages. Card href corrections only; no copy, CSS, JS,\n     or structural changes:\n       * All accident cards now use the canonical\n         \/practice-areas\/<type>-lawyers\/ form (was the shortened\n         \/<type>-lawyers\/ redirect form).\n       * Bicycle Accidents -> \/practice-areas\/bicycle-accidents\/\n         (was wrongly pointing at the pedestrian page).\n       * Drunk Driver Cases -> \/practice-areas\/dallas-drunk-driving-accident-lawyers\/\n         (was generically pointing at the car-accident page).\n       * Spinal Cord  -> \/practice-areas\/texas-spinal-cord-injury-lawyers\/\n       * Brain Injury -> \/practice-areas\/texas-traumatic-brain-injury-lawyers\/\n       * Burn         -> \/practice-areas\/texas-burn-injury-lawyers\/\n       * Amputations  -> \/practice-areas\/texas-amputation-lawyers\/\n         (these four were pointing at dead \/practice-areas\/catastrophic-injuries\/* child URLs;\n         that catastrophic-injuries parent currently redirects to the homepage.)\n       * Boating Accidents already correct: \/practice-areas\/boating-accidents\/.\n       * Premises and wrongful-death cards now use the canonical \/practice-areas\/... form.\n  6) IN-COPY CONTEXTUAL LINKS ADDED (this version) inside prose ledes only\n     (card grids, CSS layout, JS, and JSON-LD untouched; one small additive\n     CSS rule was added so prose links render gold + underlined like the other pages):\n       * #crashes lede   \"a crash on the highway\"   -> \/practice-areas\/car-accident-lawyers\/\n       * #workplace lede \"on someone else's property\" -> \/practice-areas\/premises-liability-lawyers\/\n       * #wrongful lede  \"wrongful death cases\"      -> \/practice-areas\/wrongful-death-lawyers\/\n       * reviews lede    \"verified former client\"    -> \/testimonials\/\n     Anchors are keyword variants distinct from the card titles; all targets are live.\n  7) Product Liability card REMOVED from the Workplace & Premises grid\n     (this version). The grid changed from cols-4 to the default 3-column\n     layout; remaining cards: Construction Accidents, Slip & Fall, Dog Bites.\n     No other content changed.\n  8) WORKPLACE & PREMISES cards now point to their OWN standalone pages\n     (this version), instead of all three pointing at premises-liability:\n       * Construction Accidents -> \/practice-areas\/texas-construction-accident\/\n       * Slip & Fall            -> \/practice-areas\/texas-slip-and-fall\/\n       * Dog Bites              -> \/practice-areas\/texas-dog-bite-lawyers\/\n     The #workplace lede keeps its premises-liability-lawyers link as the\n     parent-hub anchor. Card href corrections only; no copy\/CSS\/JS changes.\n     NOTE: confirm these three slugs are live before publish; the standalone\n     pages were built for these flat URLs.\n  ============================================================\n-->\n<link rel=\"preload\" as=\"image\" fetchpriority=\"high\" href=\"https:\/\/severeinjurylawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Group_Candids-89-scaled.webp\">\n<style>\n\/* ==========================================================\n   J.
