Car Accidents in Aransas Pass: How Attorney911 Fights for Maximum Compensation
If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Aransas Pass, Texas, you’re not alone. With over 251,977 people injured in Texas motor vehicle crashes last year alone—one every 57 seconds—our coastal community sees its share of collisions on Highway 35, FM 1069, and the bustling streets of downtown. At Attorney911, we understand the physical pain, emotional stress, and financial uncertainty you’re facing. That’s why our team, led by Ralph Manginello with over 25 years of experience, is here to fight for the compensation you deserve while you focus on healing.
The Reality of Car Accidents in Aransas Pass
Aransas Pass sits at the crossroads of major transportation routes, including Highway 35 that connects Corpus Christi to the rest of the state. This location means our community experiences:
- Highway collisions from commercial traffic and long-distance travelers
- Local accidents at busy intersections like those along Avenue G
- Coastal weather hazards that create dangerous driving conditions
- Tourist traffic from visitors heading to nearby beaches and attractions
With one person injured in a Texas traffic crash every 2 minutes and 5 seconds, the risk is constant. And when accidents happen, insurance companies are already building their case against you—often before you’ve even left the hospital.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Our Community
While every accident is unique, we frequently see these causes in Aransas Pass:
- Distracted driving – Texting, GPS use, or even conversations with passengers
- Speeding – Particularly dangerous on Highway 35 and rural roads
- Failure to yield – Common at intersections and when merging
- Drunk driving – Especially prevalent during tourist seasons and holidays
- Weather conditions – Sudden coastal storms and fog create hazards
- Fatigued driving – Long-distance truckers and shift workers at risk
- Mechanical failures – Poorly maintained vehicles create dangers
“In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions.” – Attorney911 Case Result
Common Injuries from Car Accidents
The injuries we see from Aransas Pass car accidents range from minor to life-altering:
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries – Often dismissed by insurance but can cause chronic pain
- Herniated discs – Frequently requiring surgery and long-term treatment
- Broken bones – Arms, legs, ribs, and facial fractures are common
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) – Can have delayed symptoms but devastating consequences
- Spinal cord injuries – Potentially leading to permanent paralysis
- Internal organ damage – Often requiring emergency surgery
- Psychological trauma – PTSD, anxiety, and depression are real consequences
Many of these injuries don’t show symptoms immediately. Adrenaline can mask pain at the scene, leading victims to decline medical treatment—only to discover serious injuries days or weeks later.
The Insurance Reality in Texas
Texas is an “at-fault” state, meaning the driver who caused the accident is responsible for damages. However, insurance companies are for-profit businesses that prioritize their bottom line over your recovery. They’ll use every tactic to minimize your claim:
- Quick settlement offers before you know the full extent of your injuries
- Recorded statements designed to get you to say things that hurt your case
- IME (Independent Medical Exam) doctors who consistently find “no injury”
- Surveillance to catch you doing activities that contradict your injury claims
- Delay tactics hoping you’ll accept less just to end the process
“Lupe Peña worked for a number of years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims.” – Attorney911
This is where our unique advantage comes in. Lupe knows exactly how insurance companies operate because he used to work for them. He understands their playbook and knows how to counter their tactics.
Why Aransas Pass Residents Choose Attorney911
1. Insurance Defense Insider Knowledge
Having a former insurance defense attorney on our team is an unfair advantage for our clients. Lupe spent years:
- Calculating claim values for insurance companies
- Selecting IME doctors who would minimize injuries
- Developing delay tactics to pressure victims
- Arguing comparative fault to reduce payouts
Now he uses that knowledge to fight FOR victims, not against them.
2. Multi-Million Dollar Results
Our track record speaks for itself:
- Brain injury with vision loss – Multi-million dollar settlement
- Car accident amputation – Settled in the millions
- Trucking wrongful death cases – Recovered millions for families
- Maritime back injury – Significant cash settlement
“Leonor got me into the doctor the same day…it only took 6 months amazing.” – Chavodrian Miles, Attorney911 Client
3. Federal Court Experience
Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas. This federal court experience matters for:
- Complex cases involving multiple defendants
- Trucking accidents with federal regulations
- Cases against large corporations
- High-value claims that may exceed state court limits
“Our firm is one of the few firms in Texas to be involved in BP explosion litigation.” – Attorney911
4. Personal Attention You Won’t Find at Big Firms
At Attorney911, you’re not just another case number. As client Chad Harris shared:
“You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”
We provide:
- Direct access to Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña
- Regular case updates from dedicated case managers
- Compassionate support throughout your recovery
- Clear communication every step of the way
5. Contingency Fee – No Risk to You
We don’t get paid unless we win your case. This means:
- Free consultation to evaluate your case
- No upfront costs or hourly fees
- We advance all case expenses
- You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you
What to Do After a Car Accident in Aransas Pass
Immediate Steps (First 48 Hours)
- Call 911 – Report the accident and request medical assistance if needed
- Seek medical attention – Even if you feel fine, many injuries have delayed symptoms
- Document everything – Take photos of vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, and traffic signals
- Exchange information – Get the other driver’s name, phone, address, insurance, and driver’s license
- Get witness information – Names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the accident
- Do NOT give a recorded statement – Insurance companies will use this against you
- Call Attorney911 – 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance
Critical Evidence Preservation
Evidence disappears quickly after an accident:
- Surveillance footage – Typically deleted within 7-30 days
- Witness memories – Fade rapidly over time
- Vehicle damage evidence – Destroyed once repairs begin
- Black box data – Can be overwritten
- Scene conditions – Skid marks fade, debris is cleared
We send preservation letters immediately to:
- Other driver’s insurance company
- Businesses near the accident scene
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Government entities (for traffic camera footage)
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Delaying medical treatment – Insurance companies use gaps against you
- Giving recorded statements – Everything you say can be used against you
- Accepting quick settlement offers – These are always lowball offers
- Posting on social media – Insurance companies monitor your accounts
- Missing doctor appointments – Creates gaps in your medical record
- Signing medical authorizations – Gives insurance access to your entire medical history
How We Prove Your Case
To win your car accident claim, we must prove four elements:
- Duty of Care – The other driver had a legal obligation to drive safely
- Breach of Duty – They violated that obligation through negligence
- Causation – Their breach directly caused your injuries
- Damages – You suffered actual harm (physical, financial, emotional)
Our team gathers evidence including:
- Police accident reports
- Medical records and bills
- Witness statements
- Photographs and videos
- Expert testimony (accident reconstruction, medical experts)
- Vehicle damage documentation
- Employment records (for lost wage claims)
- Surveillance footage
- Electronic data (black boxes, cell phone records)
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Texas law allows you to recover both economic and non-economic damages:
Economic Damages (No Cap)
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses (transportation, home modifications)
Non-Economic Damages (No Cap in Most Cases)
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium (for spouses)
Punitive Damages (Capped)
- Available in cases of gross negligence (e.g., drunk driving)
- Capped at the greater of $200,000 or 2x economic damages + 1x non-economic damages (up to $750,000 for non-economic portion)
“I was rear-ended and the team got right to work…I also got a very nice settlement.” – MONGO SLADE, Attorney911 Client
Settlement Ranges for Car Accident Injuries
While every case is unique, here are typical settlement ranges in Texas:
| Injury Type | Medical Costs | Settlement Range |
|---|---|---|
| Soft tissue (whiplash, sprains) | $6,000-$16,000 | $15,000-$60,000 |
| Broken bone (simple) | $10,000-$20,000 | $35,000-$95,000 |
| Broken bone (requiring surgery) | $47,000-$98,000 | $132,000-$328,000 |
| Herniated disc (conservative) | $22,000-$46,000 | $70,000-$171,000 |
| Herniated disc (surgery) | $96,000-$205,000 | $346,000-$1,205,000 |
| Traumatic brain injury | $198,000-$638,000 | $1,548,000-$9,838,000 |
| Spinal cord injury | $500,000-$1,500,000 | $4,770,000-$25,880,000 |
| Amputation | $170,000-$480,000 | $1,945,000-$8,630,000 |
| Wrongful death | Varies | $1,910,000-$9,520,000 |
These ranges depend on factors like:
- Severity of injuries
- Length of recovery
- Impact on daily life
- Clear liability
- Available insurance coverage
- Quality of legal representation
How Insurance Companies Undervalue Claims
Insurance companies use software called Colossus to calculate claim values. Lupe knows this system inside and out because he used it when he worked for insurance companies. Here’s how they manipulate it:
- Low injury codes – “Soft tissue strain” instead of “disc herniation”
- Excessive treatment flags – Claiming physical therapy is “unnecessary”
- Pre-existing condition reductions – Using old injuries to minimize current claims
- Jurisdiction factors – Lower values for certain counties
- Conservative treatment penalties – Valuing chiropractic care less than medical treatment
We know how to present your medical records to maximize Colossus valuations and when to reject their lowball offers entirely.
The Texas 51% Rule: How It Affects Your Case
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system with a 51% bar rule:
- If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages (reduced by your percentage of fault)
- If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover NOTHING
Insurance companies always try to assign maximum fault to victims. Even small percentages can cost you thousands:
- 10% fault on $100,000 case = $10,000 less for you
- 25% fault on $250,000 case = $62,500 less for you
- 40% fault on $500,000 case = $200,000 less for you
Lupe’s experience helps counter these arguments because he knows exactly how insurance companies assign fault percentages.
Why Time Is Critical in Your Case
Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. This means you must file your lawsuit within 2 years of the accident date or your case will be barred forever. However, waiting too long can hurt your case in other ways:
- Evidence disappears – Surveillance footage, witness memories, and scene conditions degrade
- Insurance companies build their case – They gather evidence to minimize your claim
- Medical treatment gaps – Insurance uses gaps to argue your injuries aren’t serious
- Financial pressure mounts – Bills pile up, making you more likely to accept lowball offers
“Every day you wait, evidence disappears. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is typically deleted within 7-30 days. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.” – Attorney911

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents in Aransas Pass
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Aransas Pass?
If you’ve been in an accident in Aransas Pass:
- Call 911 and report the accident
- Seek medical attention even if you feel fine
- Document everything with photos and videos
- Exchange information with the other driver
- Get witness contact information
- Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company
- Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance
Should I call the police even for a minor accident?
Yes. Always call the police after an accident in Texas. The police report is critical evidence for your claim. In Texas, you must report accidents with injuries, deaths, or property damage over $1,000.
Should I seek medical attention if I don’t feel hurt?
Absolutely. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately:
- Traumatic brain injuries can take days to manifest
- Internal bleeding may not be obvious
- Herniated discs may not cause pain for weeks
- Adrenaline masks pain at the scene
Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you. Get checked immediately.
What information should I collect at the scene?
- Other driver: name, phone, address, driver’s license, insurance
- Vehicle: make, model, color, license plate
- Witnesses: names and phone numbers
- Photos: all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals
- Police: officer name, badge number, report number
Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?
- Exchange information only
- Do NOT discuss fault
- Do NOT apologize or say “I’m sorry” (can be used as admission)
- Do NOT give your opinion on what happened
- Stick to facts only
How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?
In Aransas Pass, you can obtain the police report from the responding agency or through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS).
Should I give a recorded statement to insurance?
To the other driver’s insurance: NO. Not without an attorney.
To your own insurance: You have a duty to cooperate, but call Attorney911 first. We can advise you on what to say.
What if the other driver’s insurance contacts me?
Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.” Give only basic information (name, date of accident). Do NOT give a recorded statement. Do NOT discuss injuries or fault.
Do I have to accept the insurance company’s estimate?
No. Their estimate is just an offer. It’s usually far below actual value. Attorney911 fights for what your case is really worth.
Should I accept a quick settlement offer?
NEVER accept a settlement before knowing the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money even if you need surgery later.
What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?
Your own UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage can compensate you when the other driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage. Texas allows inter-policy stacking, which means you can combine multiple UM policies for greater protection.
How do you calculate pain and suffering?
Most commonly using the multiplier method:
Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain and suffering
The multiplier depends on:
- Injury severity
- Permanency
- Impact on life
- Clear liability
Example: $100,000 medical × 4 multiplier = $400,000 pain and suffering
Lupe calculated these multipliers for years when he worked for insurance companies. He knows how to justify higher multipliers to maximize your compensation.
What if I have a pre-existing condition?
You can still recover if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is called the “eggshell plaintiff” rule—defendants take victims as they find them. We hire medical experts to prove the difference between your condition before and after the accident.
Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current lawyer?
Yes. You can fire your attorney at any time. If your attorney isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pushing you to settle cheap, you have the right to switch. Attorney911 has taken over many cases from other attorneys.
“In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.” – Greg Garcia, Attorney911 Client
What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claims are against YOUR insurance when the other driver has no insurance or insufficient insurance. Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would. You need attorney representation.
What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?
File a police report immediately (hit and run is a criminal offense). Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver is unidentified. Surveillance footage is critical—most footage is deleted within 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately to businesses near the accident scene.
What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?
You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them (friend, family member, Uber driver). You’re an innocent victim. The driver’s insurance covers passengers. No comparative fault issues apply to passengers. These cases often settle quickly because liability is clear.
What if the accident happened in a parking lot?
Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often argue “parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault,” but this is false. We prove fault through:
- Surveillance video
- Witness statements
- Damage analysis
- Traffic patterns
Texas comparative negligence rules apply to parking lot accidents.
What if I didn’t see a doctor right away?
See one NOW. Explain that you didn’t realize the severity of your injuries. Delayed symptoms are common in car accidents. We can still help, but it’s important to document your injuries as soon as possible.
How much is my car accident case worth?
The value of your case depends on many factors:
- Severity of your injuries
- Cost of medical treatment (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Impact on your daily life
- Clear liability (who was at fault)
- Available insurance coverage
- Quality of your legal representation
Every case is unique, which is why we offer free consultations to evaluate your specific situation.
What types of damages can I recover?
You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Can I get compensation for pain and suffering?
Yes. Pain and suffering is a significant component of personal injury cases in Texas. There is NO CAP on pain and suffering damages (except in medical malpractice cases).
What if I was partially at fault?
You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault in a $100,000 case, you would recover $80,000.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial. However, Attorney911 prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. This preparation gives us leverage in negotiations and shows insurance companies we’re serious about getting maximum compensation for our clients.
How long will my case take to settle?
The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries. We don’t settle cases until you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)—the point where your condition has stabilized and you’ve recovered as much as you’re going to. This could be:
- 6 months for minor injuries
- 12-18 months for serious injuries
- 24+ months for catastrophic injuries
What is the legal process step-by-step?
- Investigation and evidence gathering
- Medical treatment to Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
- Demand letter to insurance company
- Negotiation with insurance company
- Lawsuit filed if necessary
- Discovery process (exchange of information)
- Mediation (attempt to settle)
- Trial if settlement cannot be reached
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident?
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, studies show that accident victims who hire attorneys recover 3.5 times more compensation on average than those who don’t. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working against you—you deserve to have someone on your side.
How much do car accident lawyers cost?
Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case. If we recover compensation for you, our fee is a percentage of the recovery. You may still be responsible for court costs and case expenses regardless of outcome. Free consultation available to discuss fee structure.
What does “no fee unless we win” mean?
It means you pay zero unless we recover money for you. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. We advance all case costs, including:
- Court filing fees
- Expert witness fees
- Investigation costs
- Medical record retrieval
How often will I get updates on my case?
Attorney911 provides regular updates on your case. As client Dame Haskett said:
“Consistent communication and not one time did I call and not get a clear answer.”
You’ll work directly with dedicated case managers who keep you informed every step of the way.
Who will actually handle my case?
At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, not just paralegals. As Chad Harris said:
“You are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”
What if I already hired another attorney?
You can switch attorneys at any time. Many of our clients come to us after being dissatisfied with their initial representation. As Greg Garcia shared:
“In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.”
What if I’m an undocumented immigrant—can I still file a claim?
Yes. Your immigration status does NOT affect your right to compensation for injuries. You’re entitled to full recovery regardless of immigration status. Your case is confidential, and we’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish and can assist Spanish-speaking clients.
What if the other driver died in the accident?
You can still pursue a claim against the deceased driver’s estate and insurance policy. The death doesn’t eliminate liability. The insurance policy still applies, and the estate may have assets. These cases can be emotionally complex but are legally straightforward.
How do I know if I have a good case?
You may have a case if:
- Someone else was at fault (even partially)
- You suffered injuries or damages
- There is insurance coverage available
The best way to know for sure is to call Attorney911 for a free consultation.
When should I hire a car accident lawyer?
Immediately. Evidence disappears daily, and insurance companies start building their case against you from day one. The sooner you call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911, the better we can protect your rights.
How much time do I have to file a lawsuit (statute of limitations)?
In Texas, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is absolute—if you miss it, your case will be barred forever. Don’t wait until the last minute to seek legal help.
What is comparative negligence and how does it affect me?
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system with a 51% bar rule:
- If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages (reduced by your percentage of fault)
- If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover NOTHING
Insurance companies always try to assign maximum fault to victims to reduce their payout. Lupe’s experience helps counter these arguments.
What happens if I was partially at fault?
You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault in a $100,000 case, you would recover $80,000.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial. However, Attorney911 prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. This preparation gives us leverage in negotiations and shows insurance companies we’re serious about fighting for maximum compensation.
How long will my case take?
The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries. We don’t settle cases until you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)—the point where your condition has stabilized. This could be:
- 6 months for minor injuries
- 12-18 months for serious injuries
- 24+ months for catastrophic injuries
What is the process for a car accident claim?
- Investigation and evidence gathering
- Medical treatment to Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
- Demand letter to insurance company
- Negotiation with insurance company
- Lawsuit filed if necessary
- Discovery process (exchange of information)
- Mediation (attempt to settle)
- Trial if settlement cannot be reached
Do I have to pay taxes on my settlement?
Generally, compensation for physical injuries is NOT taxable. However:
- Punitive damages ARE taxable
- Lost wage compensation may be taxable
- Interest on settlements may be taxable
Consult with a tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
How is the value of my claim determined?
The value of your claim is determined by:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Physical impairment and disfigurement
- Impact on daily life and activities
- Clear liability (who was at fault)
- Available insurance coverage
- Quality of your legal representation
What if the insurance company is offering a quick settlement?
NEVER accept a quick settlement before knowing the full extent of your injuries. These offers are always lowball amounts designed to save the insurance company money. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money even if you need additional treatment.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
Insurance companies deny valid claims all the time. Common reasons include:
- Claiming you were at fault
- Arguing your injuries are pre-existing
- Saying your treatment was unnecessary
- Alleging you missed the statute of limitations
If your claim is denied, call Attorney911 immediately. We know how to appeal denials and fight for the compensation you deserve.
What if I can’t afford a lawyer?
You don’t need to afford a lawyer. Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case. This means:
- Free consultation
- No upfront costs
- No hourly fees
- We advance all case expenses
- You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you
What if I don’t have health insurance?
You can still get medical treatment after a car accident. We can help you:
- Find doctors who accept liens (they treat you now and get paid from your settlement)
- Access medical payment coverage from your auto insurance
- Get treatment through government programs if eligible
What if I was hit by a government vehicle?
Government claims have special rules. You must file a notice of claim within 6 months of the accident (much shorter than the 2-year statute of limitations for regular claims). Sovereign immunity may protect government entities, and damage caps may apply. These cases are complex—you need an experienced attorney.
What if the other driver was working at the time of the accident?
If the other driver was working (delivering packages, driving for Uber, etc.), their employer may also be liable. This means:
- More insurance coverage available
- Higher potential settlement value
- Additional parties to hold accountable
What if I was hit by a drunk driver?
Drunk driving accidents often qualify for punitive damages, which are designed to punish the drunk driver and deter similar conduct. You may also have a dram shop claim against the bar or restaurant that served the drunk driver if they were obviously intoxicated.
What if I was hit by an uninsured driver?
Your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver has no insurance. Texas allows inter-policy stacking, which means you can combine multiple UM policies for greater protection. We can help you navigate this complex process.
What if I was hit by an underinsured driver?
Your Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver has insufficient insurance to cover your damages. Like UM coverage, Texas allows inter-policy stacking for UIM claims.
What if I was hit while riding in an Uber or Lyft?
Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance issues. The amount of coverage available depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the accident:
- App off – Only the driver’s personal insurance applies
- App on, no ride – Contingent coverage of $50,000/$100,000/$25,000
- Ride accepted or passenger in car – $1,000,000 commercial coverage
What if I was hit by a delivery driver (Amazon, UPS, FedEx)?
Delivery vehicle accidents often involve:
- Commercial insurance policies with higher limits
- Employer liability for driver negligence
- Complex investigation to determine fault
- Potential product liability claims if vehicle defects contributed
What if I was hit in a construction zone?
Nearly 28,000 crashes occur in Texas work zones annually, resulting in 215 deaths in 2024 alone. Construction zone accidents often involve:
- Government liability for poor signage or traffic control
- Construction company liability for unsafe conditions
- Multiple liable parties
- Higher potential for punitive damages due to reckless conduct
What if I was hit while walking or biking?
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents often result in severe injuries. In Texas:
- Pedestrians have the right-of-way at intersections (even unmarked crosswalks)
- Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
- Bicyclists have the same rights and duties as motor vehicle drivers
What if I was hit by a distracted driver?
Distracted driving causes 380 deaths in Texas annually. Common distractions include:
- Texting or using a phone
- Eating or drinking
- Adjusting the radio or GPS
- Talking to passengers
- Daydreaming
We can use cell phone records, witness statements, and other evidence to prove distraction.
What if I was hit by a driver who ran a red light?
Running red lights is a leading cause of intersection accidents. These cases often have:
- Clear liability (the other driver is clearly at fault)
- Higher potential for punitive damages
- Strong evidence from traffic cameras or witnesses
What if I was hit by a driver who was speeding?
Speeding is a factor in many fatal accidents. We can prove speeding through:
- Skid mark analysis
- Black box data
- Witness statements
- Traffic camera footage
- Accident reconstruction
What if I was hit by a driver who was fatigued?
Fatigued driving can be just as dangerous as drunk driving. Common in:
- Commercial truck drivers
- Shift workers
- Long-distance travelers
We can prove fatigue through:
- Driver logs (for commercial drivers)
- Cell phone records showing no activity
- Witness statements about driver behavior
- Accident reconstruction showing no evasive action
What if I was hit by a driver with a suspended license?
Driving with a suspended license shows a pattern of disregard for the law. This can:
- Strengthen your liability case
- Increase potential for punitive damages
- Show negligent hiring if the driver was working
What if I was hit by a driver who was under the influence of drugs?
Drug-impaired driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving. We can prove impairment through:
- Police reports and field sobriety tests
- Blood test results
- Witness statements about driver behavior
- Accident reconstruction showing no evasive action
What if I was hit by a driver who fled the scene?
Hit-and-run accidents are criminal offenses in Texas. If the driver is never identified, your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies. We can help by:
- Filing a police report
- Preserving surveillance footage
- Locating witnesses
- Maximizing your UM coverage
What if I was hit by a driver who lied about what happened?
Insurance fraud is common in car accidents. We can uncover the truth through:
- Witness statements
- Accident reconstruction
- Surveillance footage
- Black box data
- Cell phone records
- Social media investigation
What if I was hit by a driver who had no insurance?
