Our Areas of Expertise Serving Calhoun County
At Attorney911, we cover a comprehensive range of practice areas, addressing the most critical legal emergencies that residents and workers in Calhoun County may encounter. Our expertise spans both personal injury—where we fight for justice for the injured—and criminal defense—where we protect the rights of those accused.
Personal Injury: Fighting for the Injured in Calhoun County
Calhoun County is a vibrant area with diverse economic activity, from its crucial shipping via the Port of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort to its agricultural landscapes and growing tourism. Unfortunately, this activity also brings the risk of accidents and injuries. When negligence disrupts your life, we are here to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
Car Accidents in Calhoun County: When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn
Calhoun County’s roadways, including State Highway 35, FM 1593, and local streets within Port Lavaca or Seadrift, can be scenes of sudden and devastating car accidents. Whether it’s a rear-end collision on Main Street or a multi-vehicle pile-up on the highway, the aftermath can be overwhelming—medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma.
Our Approach: We understand that insurance companies, seeking to protect their profits, will often try to minimize your compensation. Our team, armed with Lupe Peña’s insider knowledge of insurance tactics, is skilled at negotiating from a position of strength. We work with a broad network of experts—from medical professionals to accident reconstructionists—to meticulously build your case. We aim to settle cases whenever possible to save you the expense and delay of trial, but we will not hesitate to take your case to court if insurers refuse to make a fair offer. We have an excellent record of success, handling numerous million-dollar cases.
Imagine a scenario in Port Lavaca where a driver distracted by their phone causes a serious collision on Ocean Drive. The medical bills quickly accumulate, and you’re unable to return to work. Our team will step in, manage all communication with the at-fault driver’s insurance company, ensure you receive necessary medical care, and fight for full compensation that covers your past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain, and suffering.
18-Wheeler & Big Rig Accidents on Calhoun County Roadways
With its strategic location along the Gulf Coast and critical industrial corridors connecting to large distribution networks, Calhoun County experiences significant commercial truck traffic. Accidents involving 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, or other big rigs on highways like TX-35 or US-87 are often catastrophic, leading to severe injuries and complex legal challenges.
Our Specialization: These cases demand attorneys experienced in not just personal injury law, but also intricate trucking regulations, transportation law, and even interstate commerce law. Our team has helped numerous injured individuals and families recover millions in compensation from trucking-related accidents, including wrongful death cases. We understand the complex commercial insurance policies covering these massive vehicles.
We meticulously gather and examine crucial evidence: truck maintenance records, drivers’ logs, electronic logging device (ELD) data, cell phone records, and employment records. By collaborating with accident reconstruction experts, we piece together exactly what happened. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a trucking accident near Long Mott or on a major route through Calhoun County, we are here to answer your questions regarding medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for devastating injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents: Protecting Riders’ Rights
Motorcyclists enjoy the open roads of Calhoun County, but they are uniquely vulnerable to serious injuries when accidents occur. Drivers often claim they ‘didn’t see’ a motorcycle, but this is no excuse for negligence. Drivers are legally obligated to be aware of all vehicles and maintain control of their own at all times.
Our Commitment: We aggressively protect the rights of bikers injured in motorcycle accidents, recognizing the severe nature of common injuries such as road rash, closed head injuries, brain or spinal cord injuries, loss of limb, and even wrongful death. We fight to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for property damage, lost income (current and future), medical and rehabilitation expenses, and the immense pain and suffering you endure. We hold negligent drivers responsible, whether it’s a car turning left in front of a motorcycle in downtown Port Lavaca or a driver changing lanes without looking.
Offshore Injuries & Maritime Law: For Calhoun County’s Coastal Workers
Calhoun County’s economy is inextricably linked to the Gulf of Mexico, with workers in shipbuilding, various roles at the Port of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort, and those in the oil and gas industry offshore. If you are a deckhand, first mate, captain, seaman, rig hand, or other offshore worker injured on a ship, oil rig, or other vessel, you need specialized legal representation.
Our Expertise: We have substantial experience resolving offshore injury cases under specific federal laws like the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. These laws provide crucial protections and different avenues for compensation than traditional workers’ compensation claims.
We work with an extensive network of experts including investigators, life care planners, medical care providers, and safety experts to build your case. We handle claims involving freighter, tug, tanker, rig, and barge accidents. We strongly advise contacting us for a free initial consultation before settling any claim directly with your employer or insurance company, to ensure your rights are fully protected. Our goal is to secure the maximum possible compensation for your injuries sustained while working in the vital maritime sector of Calhoun County. Much like our success in recovering a significant cash settlement for a client who injured their back lifting cargo on a ship, we will meticulously investigate and advocate for you.
Workers’ Compensation: Navigating Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can occur in any industry present in Calhoun County, from the petrochemical plants in Point Comfort to local businesses in Seadrift. The Texas workers’ compensation system is designed to protect injured workers, but it can be incredibly complex, and unfortunately, the outcome is often unfair to the injured employee.
Your Advocate: Having an experienced workplace accident attorney can make all the difference in successfully winning your claim. It’s crucial to notify your employer as soon as possible after an injury or if you develop an occupational illness. Seek prompt medical treatment and ensure your doctor knows the injury occurred at work.
We are here to protect your workers’ compensation benefits and defend you if those benefits are refused. Our firm has recovered millions for various workplace injuries, including a multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury and vision loss when a log was dropped on him at a logging company. We understand the nuances of the Texas workers’ compensation system, including the unique non-subscriber option where some employers opt out, potentially allowing for broader personal injury claims. We are here for you every step of the way, safeguarding your financial future.
Construction Accidents: Beyond Workers’ Compensation
Calhoun County, like much of Texas, sees ongoing construction, whether it’s new infrastructure, residential development, or industrial expansion. Construction sites inherently carry risks. While workers’ compensation is available for on-the-job injuries, in many cases, injured workers can also pursue personal injury claims against responsible third parties.
Maximizing Your Recovery: This third-party claim avenue is significant because it can lead to additional compensation far beyond what workers’ compensation typically offers. You cannot typically sue your employer or a co-worker for a work injury, but with multiple companies often involved on a construction site—subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, general contractors—a party other than your direct employer may be at fault.
We specialize in examining construction accident cases to identify all liable parties. Whether it’s a crane accident, forklift accident, a fall from heights due to inadequate safety measures, or a scaffolding collapse at a construction site in Port Lavaca, we have the expertise to determine who was truly responsible. We fight for you to receive compensation that covers medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages that a workers’ compensation claim may not fully address.
Refinery & Plant Accidents: Holding Corporations Accountable
Calhoun County is home to vital industrial operations, including petrochemical plants and other industrial facilities like those in Point Comfort. While these facilities are crucial for our economy, they also present significant risks. Unfortunately, “cost-cutting” measures can sometimes come at the expense of employee safety.
Proven Experience: Our firm has handled numerous refinery and plant accident personal injury cases. We are proud to be one of the few firms in Texas with direct involvement in the historic BP explosion litigation, an experience that speaks volumes about our capability to take on even the largest international industrial and refinery companies.
We firmly believe that individuals injured due to negligent cost-cutting or other negligent actions at industrial facilities deserve financial compensation. They also deserve to know that those responsible will be held accountable. If you have been injured in an on-the-job refinery or industrial accident in Calhoun County, you likely have many questions about your legal rights. Refinery and plant accident litigation is incredibly complex, requiring seasoned lawyers who understand industrial processes, safety regulations, and the intricacies of corporate liability. We are prepared to provide immediate legal assistance, leveraging our invaluable experience to fight for your justice.
Toxic Tort Claims: Exposure to Harmful Substances
Exposure to toxic chemicals and harmful substances, unfortunately, can be a reality in industrial areas or through defective products. If you or a loved one in Calhoun County has suffered lifelong injuries or disabilities due to toxic exposure caused by another party’s negligence or a faulty product, you have the right to seek compensation through a “toxic tort” claim.
Comprehensive Support: Your health is our first priority. We will help you access the medical care you need and then work diligently to maximize your compensation. We look at all immediate and future costs, losses, and expenses to ensure they are fully considered in your claim. This includes cases involving water contamination, black mold exposure, defective drugs (including those subject to recalls), and various chemical exposures.
Toxic tort claims can be challenging because the negative effects of exposure often develop over years, making it difficult to link injuries to a specific source. We handle both individual and class-action toxic tort claims, providing the dedicated and knowledgeable representation needed to prove causation and secure justice for your suffering.
Wrongful Death Claims: Compassionate Advocacy During Loss
The loss of a loved one due to another’s negligence is one of the most devastating experiences imaginable. For families in Calhoun County mourning such a profound loss, the thought of legal battles can be overwhelming. During this difficult time, the right attorney can shoulder the legal burdens, allowing you the space to grieve.
Our Empathy & Expertise: At Attorney911, we help Texas families navigate these painful circumstances. If you have lost a loved one due to drunk driving accidents, motorcycle accidents, 18-wheeler truck accidents, medical malpractice, or any other form of negligence in Calhoun County, we will handle every aspect of your legal claim. This frees you from the stress of legal issues, allowing you to focus on healing.
We work with economists and other experts to meticulously assess the financial impact of your loved one’s death. We consider every factor that affects your settlement, including pain and suffering, the irreplaceable loss of your relationship, lost wages, and all other losses you have experienced. It is crucial to act quickly in wrongful death cases to preserve evidence, identify witnesses, and maintain the integrity of the accident scene, especially in a dynamic environment like Calhoun County. Let us be your steadfast advocates.
Insurance Claims: Protecting Your Rights Against Insurers
Insurance companies exist to collect premiums, but often they prioritize their bottom line over paying out fair compensation. If you’re a Calhoun County resident grappling with a denied claim, an underpaid settlement, or bad-faith practices from an insurer following a property damage event, a personal injury, or any covered loss, we are here to fight for you.
Your Shield Against Bad Faith: Lupe Peña’s background working for a national defense firm provides us with invaluable insight into how insurance companies operate, value claims, and strategize. We understand their tactics for delaying payments, trying to minimize damages, or outright denying legitimate claims. Whether it’s a dispute over hurricane damage along the coast, a car accident claim, or a business interruption policy, we aggressively challenge unfair insurance practices. We have the experience to interpret complex policy language, challenge wrongful denials, and demand the compensation you are owed under your policy.
Criminal Defense: Protecting Your Rights & Future in Calhoun County
Facing criminal charges in Calhoun County can be a frightening and uncertain time, with potential consequences that can impact your freedom, finances, and reputation. Your future depends on a strong, knowledgeable defense. At Attorney911, we provide robust criminal defense for a wide range of charges, ensuring your rights are protected at every stage.
DWI/DUI Defense: Strategic Advocacy in Calhoun County
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges are serious in Texas, carrying severe penalties that can include hefty fines, increased insurance premiums, driver’s license suspension, and potential jail time. If you face such charges in Calhoun County, whether from an incident near the fishing piers of Port O’Connor or a traffic stop in Port Lavaca, it’s vital to act quickly.
Our Proven Strategies: We have successfully defended hundreds of DWI/DUI cases using a broad range of defense tactics. Before you consider pleading guilty, paying fines, and accepting a criminal record, contact us for a free consultation. We work to prevent the suspension of your driver’s license and can challenge charges even if you refused a breath test.
Our team meticulously investigates every aspect of your case. For instance, we’ve had charges dismissed when our investigation revealed police department employees were not properly maintaining breathalyzer machines. We successfully achieved a dismissal on the day of trial for a client whose arrest lacked proper breath or blood tests, and where crucial hospital notes were missing. If the state’s primary evidence is a video field sobriety test, we can challenge its validity and interpretation. We are committed to exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and fighting aggressively for your rights.
Comprehensive Criminal Defense: A Full Spectrum of Protection
If you suddenly find yourself facing criminal charges in Calhoun County, it can feel like law enforcement has the upper hand, and a conviction is inevitable. However, a conviction is far from inevitable, especially with experienced legal representation. We handle hundreds of drug cases and have helped numerous individuals across Texas successfully fight and beat their charges.
Defense Against Drug Crimes: We are skilled at defending against charges of drug possession (marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, ecstasy), drug trafficking, and drug manufacturing. Police conduct, such as illegal search and seizure, often plays a critical role in drug cases. For example, we achieved deferred adjudication for a client facing 5 to 99 years in jail when police illegally entered his home where drugs were found. This outcome meant no jail time and eventual dismissal of charges, showcasing our ability to protect clients from severe consequences by challenging constitutional violations.
Beyond Drug Charges, We Defend Against:
- Animal Cruelty
- Assault Crimes (including Assault Family Violence, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence)
- Driving with an Invalid License
- Elder Abuse
- Expunctions (clearing your record)
- Extortion
- Fake I.D. or False Impersonation
- Firearms Offenses
- Fraud
- Hit and Run
- Homicide-Murder
- Internet Crimes
- Kidnapping
- Public Intoxication
- Sexual Assault
- Theft Crimes
- Vandalism
No matter the charge, we analyze and fight using every available defense strategy, including challenging probable cause, illegal searches and seizures, and other constitutional violations. We are here to provide the strongest possible defense for your future.
Calhoun County: Our Local Focus & Your Legal Needs
While our firm serves clients throughout Texas from our Houston, Austin, and Beaumont offices, our commitment to the residents of Calhoun County is unwavering. We understand that legal issues are rarely confined to city limits, and our expansive reach ensures that whether your incident occurred on the docks at Point Comfort, along the serene Matagorda Bay, or in a quiet neighborhood in Port Lavaca, you have access to top-tier legal expertise.
Local Relevance: Calhoun County’s economic drivers include the Port of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort, petrochemical industries, commercial fishing, and tourism. This unique blend means residents and workers face specific legal landscapes:
- Industrial Accidents: The presence of major industrial facilities in Point Comfort means a heightened risk of refinery, chemical plant, or construction accidents. Our specialized expertise in these complex cases is directly applicable to protecting industrial workers in Calhoun County.
- Maritime Activity: With its frontage on Matagorda Bay and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, maritime law (Jones Act, Longshore Act) is highly relevant for seamen, longshoremen, and other maritime workers operating out of Port Lavaca and Seadrift.
- Transportation: Highways like TX-35 and US-87 are critical for commerce and personal travel, leading to potential car accidents and heavy truck traffic accidents, often involving commercial vehicles moving cargo to and from the port.
- Community Life: Everyday legal emergencies like car accidents, premises liability issues, and criminal charges (DWI, theft) affect residents throughout Port Lavaca, Seadrift, and Port O’Connor.
We incorporate this understanding into every case, recognizing that local circumstances and industries often shape the nature and complexity of legal emergencies in Calhoun County. We are equipped to handle cases that intersect with federal jurisdiction, such as those related to federal waterways or interstate commerce, alongside state-level matters.
Our Proactive Approach: The Attorney911 Difference
What sets Attorney911 apart is our proactive, client-centered approach, driven by a deep understanding of the legal landscape and a commitment to justice.
Leveraging Insider Insurance Knowledge
One of our most significant competitive advantages comes from Lupe Peña’s background as an attorney for a national defense firm. This experience equips us with an “insider’s view” into how insurance companies assess, value, and defend claims. We know their playbook:
- Claim Valuation: We understand the proprietary formulas and strategies insurers use to try and minimize payouts. We challenge these methods with our own expert valuations.
- Defense Tactics: We anticipate the arguments and legal maneuvers defense attorneys will employ, allowing us to build stronger, more resilient cases.
- Delay Tactics: Insurance companies often drag out cases, hoping to wear down claimants. We know how to counteract these delays and apply pressure to secure a swift and fair resolution.
- Independent Medical Exams (IMEs): We understand how these “independent” exams are often used to reduce the perceived severity of injuries and will prepare you accordingly.
This unique insight gives our clients a substantial edge, ensuring they are not disadvantaged when facing large, well-resourced insurance entities.
Unparalleled Complex Litigation Experience
When your case involves intricate legal frameworks, multiple jurisdictions, or highly technical evidence, you need a firm with proven complex litigation experience. Our involvement in the BP Texas City explosion litigation is a testament to our capabilities in handling multi-faceted mass tort claims against major corporations. Our expertise also extends to:
- Federal Court Experience: Both Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña are admitted to the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, providing the capability to handle federal cases, which are common in maritime and some industrial accidents affecting Calhoun County.
- Maritime Law: Our deep knowledge of the Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, and Death on the High Seas Act provides critical specialized representation for coastal and offshore workers.
- Commercial Trucking: We manage the complexities of commercial insurance, federal trucking regulations, and multi-state issues often present in 18-wheeler accidents.
We are adept at assembling teams of highly specialized experts—from accident reconstructionists and medical specialists to economists and vocational rehabilitation experts—to build an irrefutable case, no matter how complex the scenario.
Deep Texas Mastery & Local Sensitivity
Our physical offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont provide a statewide footprint, but our understanding reaches down to the county level, including Calhoun County. We possess:
- Local Court Familiarity: We understand the procedures and nuances of Texas courts, including those that would handle cases originating in Calhoun County.
- Hyper-Local Knowledge: We are attuned to accident hotspots, industrial zones, and transportation corridors that are relevant to your community.
- Texas-Specific Laws: We are experts in crucial Texas personal injury laws like the 51% Modified Comparative Fault Rule (which dictates if you can recover based on your percentage of fault), Texas Dram Shop Law (holding establishments liable for overserving), and the complexities of Texas’ unique workers’ compensation system, including non-subscriber cases.
- Bilingual Advantage: Lupe Peña’s fluency in Spanish ensures that our growing Hispanic community in Calhoun County receives clear, culturally sensitive, and effective legal representation.
Proven Track Record of Success
Our results speak for themselves. We have a consistent track record of securing significant outcomes for our clients:
- Multi-Million Dollar Settlements: Examples include a multi-million dollar settlement for a brain injury from a logging accident, another multi-million settlement for a leg amputation in a car accident, and numerous multi-million dollar recoveries for trucking-related wrongful death cases.
- Significant Case Victories: This includes our aforementioned involvement in the BP explosion litigation and achieving deferred adjudication for a client facing decades in prison for drug charges.
- DWI Case Dismissals: We have a strong history of getting DWI charges dismissed through rigorous investigation and challenging evidence, such as improperly maintained breathalyzer machines, lack of proper testing, or flawed field sobriety tests.
These outcomes demonstrate our aggressive advocacy and our unwavering commitment to obtaining the best possible results for our clients. While we cannot guarantee future outcomes, our past successes highlight our capability and dedication.
What to Do When a Legal Emergency Strikes in Calhoun County
When unexpected legal challenges arise, especially after an accident or arrest, your actions in the immediate aftermath can significantly impact your case. Here’s what we advise Calhoun County residents to do:
For Personal Injury Cases:
- Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Even if you feel fine, some injuries have delayed symptoms. Get thoroughly checked by a doctor. Keep all medical records and bills.
- Report the Incident: For car accidents, notify the police. For workplace injuries, inform your employer immediately and in writing.
- Document Everything:
- Accident Scene: Take photos and videos of vehicles, injuries, road conditions, debris, skid marks, and anything relevant.
- Witnesses: Collect names and contact information from anyone who saw the incident.
- Injuries: Photograph your injuries as they heal or change over time.
- Do NOT Admit Fault: Never apologize or admit fault, even if you think you might be partially to blame.
- Be Cautious with Insurance Companies: Do not give recorded statements or sign any documents from an insurance adjuster without consulting an attorney first. Remember, their goal is to minimize your claim.
- Preserve Evidence: For specific cases like trucking accidents or industrial incidents, crucial evidence (e.g., black boxes, machinery parts, maintenance logs) can be “lost” or destroyed. Contact us immediately so we can send spoliation letters to preserve this evidence.
- Contact Attorney911: The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can start protecting your rights and building a strong case.
For Criminal Defense Cases:
- Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent. Exercise it. Do not answer questions from law enforcement without an attorney present.
- Do NOT Resist Arrest: Cooperate physically, but verbally invoke your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney.
- Do NOT Consent to Searches: You have the right to refuse searches of your person, vehicle, or home. If police search anyway, do not physically resist, but verbally state that you do not consent.
- Do NOT Discuss Your Case: Avoid discussing your case with anyone other than your attorney. This includes friends, family, and especially fellow detainees. Any conversation can be used against you.
- Write Down Everything You Remember: As soon as you are able, document details about your arrest, questioning, and any interactions with law enforcement. This information can be crucial for your defense.
- Contact Attorney911 Immediately: The earlier we get involved, the more options we have for defense. We can advise you before questioning, navigate bail proceedings, and begin to build a robust defense strategy.
