City of Sealy Truck Accident and Commercial Vehicle Legal Guide: Fighting for Your Recovery After a Catastrophic Collision
The impact was catastrophic. You were driving on I-10 through the City of Sealy, perhaps heading home after work or traveling toward Katy, when 80,000 pounds of steel slammed into your vehicle. In a split second, your life was fundamentally altered. When a commercial truck or an 18-wheeler causes a wreck in the City of Sealy, it isn’t a fair fight. Your car weighs maybe 4,000 pounds; the truck that hit you is twenty times that size. That weight differential explains why the scenes we see on the highways of Austin County are so devastating.
If you are reading this, you or someone you love is likely suffering. You are dealing with mounting medical bills, the physical agony of serious injuries, and the overwhelming realization that a large corporation is already building a defense against you. At Attorney911, we know exactly what you are up against. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has spent over 25 years in the courtroom holding negligent trucking companies accountable. We aren’t just personal injury lawyers; we are your first responders in a legal emergency.
Since 1998, Ralph Manginello has gone head-to-head with some of the most powerful entities on the planet, including Fortune 500 giants like BP, Walmart, and Amazon. Our firm brings federal court experience, specifically in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which is vital for cases involving interstate trucking and federal safety violations. We understand that in the City of Sealy, you need a fighter who treats you like the neighbor you are, but who has the muscle to make a multi-billion dollar corporation pay every dime you deserve.
One of our greatest advantages is our associate attorney, Lupe Peña. Before joining us to fight for victims, Lupe spent years working for a national insurance defense firm. He used to defend the very insurance companies we now sue. He knows their playbook, he knows how they train their adjusters to lowball you, and he knows exactly what makes them decide to pay a fair settlement. When we investigate your wreck in the City of Sealy, we aren’t guessing at the defense’s strategy—we already have a map of it.
Whether you were hit on I-10, Highway 36, or a rural FM road in the City of Sealy, the clock is ticking. Within 24-48 hours, critical evidence can be lost or overwritten. You don’t have to face the trucking company alone. Call us 24/7 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation. Hablamos Español. Llame a Lupe Peña hoy mismo.
The Reality of Trucking in the City of Sealy
The City of Sealy sits at a critical crossroads for the Texas economy. As the gateway between the Port of Houston and points west like San Antonio and El Paso, I-10 through the City of Sealy sees some of the highest commercial traffic volumes in the state. Thousands of 18-wheelers, refrigerated box trucks, and gravel haulers barrel through our community every day. With major distribution hubs for companies like Walmart and Amazon just a few miles away in the Brookshire and Katy corridor, the pressure on these drivers to meet delivery deadlines is immense.
Unfortunately, that pressure often leads to corner-cutting. When a trucking company prioritizes profit over the safety of families in the City of Sealy, people get hurt. We see it constantly: drivers pushing past their legal hours of service, companies deferring maintenance on failing brakes, and contractors skipping thorough background checks to put inexperienced drivers behind the wheel.
Why You Need an Attorney Who Understands Federal Trucking Law
A truck accident in the City of Sealy is not just a “big car wreck.” These cases are governed by a complex web of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. If your lawyer doesn’t know the specifics of 49 CFR Parts 390-399, they are likely missing the evidence that proves the trucking company’s negligence.
At Attorney911, we use these federal laws to pin down liability. If a driver was fatigued, we look for violations of Part 395 regarding Hours of Service. If a tire blew out on Highway 36, we look for violations of Part 396 regarding systematic inspection and maintenance. We have recovered over $50 million for our clients because we know how to peel back the layers of a trucking company’s operation and find where they broke the law.
As our client Chad Harris once said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” We take that responsibility seriously. When we represent a family in the City of Sealy, we are fighting for your future, your medical care, and your peace of mind.

The insurance companies are already working on your case in the City of Sealy. They have rapid-response teams on-site before the debris is even cleared from the road. You need an advocate who moves just as fast. Call Attorney911 at (888) 288-9911 today.
FMCSA Regulations: Proving Negligence through Federal Law
When an 18-wheeler slams into a family car on the I-10 feeder in the City of Sealy, the trucking company will almost always try to blame the victim, the weather, or “unforeseeable mechanical failure.” However, federal law is remarkably clear about what these companies must do to keep the public safe. By citing the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), specifically 49 CFR Parts 390-399, we can often prove that the “accident” was actually a predictable result of a safety violation.
49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS) and Driver Fatigue
Fatigue is a silent killer on the roads surrounding the City of Sealy. Because Sealy is a transition point for long-haul drivers entering or leaving the Houston metro area, many drivers are hitting their limit as they pass through Austin County. Under 49 CFR § 395.3, property-carrying drivers are strictly limited to 11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty. They also cannot drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty.
The pressure to deliver cargo to the nearby distribution centers often forces drivers to falsify their logs. However, since the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate, this is harder to hide—if you have a lawyer who knows how to subpoena the data. We analyze these logs to see if a driver was illegally on the road when they hit you in the City of Sealy.
49 CFR Part 396: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance
Trucking companies in the City of Sealy frequently defer maintenance to keep more trucks on the road and more money in their pockets. Under 49 CFR § 396.3, every motor carrier must systematically inspect and maintain all vehicles under its control. If a truck’s brakes failed because the company ignored a worn pad, that isn’t just bad luck—it’s a federal violation. We subpoena maintenance records, pre-trip inspection reports required by § 396.11, and annual inspection documentation to prove the truck was a “ticking time bomb” before it ever reached the City of Sealy.
49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification Files
Who was driving the truck that hit you in the City of Sealy? Were they qualified? Under 49 CFR § 391.51, a motor carrier must maintain a Driver Qualification (DQ) file for every driver. This file must include their motor vehicle record (MVR), medical examiner’s certificate, and road test results. We often find that companies have hired drivers with history of DUI, previous major collisions, or medical conditions that should have disqualified them from driving a commercial vehicle. Hiring an unqualified driver constitutes “negligent hiring,” making the company directly liable for your damages in the City of Sealy.
49 CFR Part 393: Parts and Accessories for Safe Operation
This section governs everything from the lights and mirrors to the cargo securement systems. If you were involved in a rollover accident on Highway 36 in the City of Sealy because the cargo shifted, we look for violations of §§ 393.100 through 393.136. Improperly secured cargo is a leading cause of instability in 18-wheelers.

Comprehensive Coverage of Truck Accident Types in the City of Sealy
No two trucking accidents are exactly alike, but they all share one thing: the potential for life-altering harm. Because the City of Sealy serves as a major logistics artery, our roads see every possible configuration of commercial vehicle catastrophe. Understanding the physics and the common causes of these wrecks is the first step in building a winning case.
Rear-End Collisions on I-10 and SH-36
Rear-end accidents are incredibly common in the City of Sealy, especially during the frequent traffic slowdowns on I-10 near the Highway 36 interchange. An 18-wheeler traveling at 65 mph requires the length of nearly two football fields to come to a complete stop. When a driver is distracted by a dispatch device or a cell phone (violating 49 CFR § 392.82), they cannot react in time to a traffic jam. The force of a 40-ton truck hitting a stationary car is devastating, often causing traumatic brain injuries and severe spinal fractures.
Rollover Accidents on Highway 36 and FM Roads
The rural and industrial roads of Austin County, such as Highway 36, feature curves and intersections that were not always designed for the massive center of gravity of a modern tractor-trailer. Rollovers occur when a driver takes a turn too fast or when their cargo is improperly balanced (violating 49 CFR § 393.100). In a rollover, the trailer can crush adjacent vehicles, leaving victims in the City of Sealy with no chance to escape.
Jackknife Accidents in Adverse weather
Texas weather changes fast. A sudden thunderstorm over the City of Sealy can turn the pavement into a skating rink. A jackknife occurs when a truck’s drive wheels lock up, causing the trailer to swing out to the side like a folding knife. This often happens because of improper braking techniques or failing to adjust speed for conditions, a violation of 49 CFR § 392.14. These accidents often result in multi-vehicle pileups that shut down I-10 for hours.
Underride Collisions: The Most Lethal Wrecks
Underride collisions are among the most horrifying accidents we handle in the City of Sealy. These occur when a passenger vehicle slides underneath the back or side of a trailer because the truck lacks proper underride guards or the guards fail. These accidents often result in decapitation or catastrophic head trauma. While the FMCSA requires rear impact guards under 49 CFR § 393.86, many of these “Mansfield Bars” are poorly maintained or structurally inadequate to stop a car at highway speeds.
Wide Turn “Squeeze Play” Accidents
Trucks making right turns from Highway 36 onto local City of Sealy streets often must swing wide to the left to clear the curb. If a driver fails to signal properly or fails to check their mirrors, they can “squeeze” a passenger car between the trailer and the curb. These low-speed accidents still cause significant orthopedic injuries and vehicle crush damage.
Blind Spot (No-Zone) Accidents
Every commercial truck has “No-Zones”—massive blind spots where a car completely disappears from the driver’s view. If a truck driver in the City of Sealy changes lanes without carefully verifying their surroundings, they can sideswipe a vehicle and push it off the road. 49 CFR § 393.80 requires trucks to have mirrors that provide a clear view of the rear, but mirrors are useless if the driver is not trained to use them effectively.
Tire Blowouts and Brake Failures
In the City of Sealy, we see many “road gators”—strips of shredded tire tread from semi-trucks. A steer-tire blowout can cause a driver to lose all control instantly. Similarly, brake failure on a heavy truck is often the result of “brake fade” caused by poor adjustment or worn components—violations of 49 CFR § 396.3. As Ralph Manginello often points out, “mechanical failure” is usually just code for “maintenance neglect.”
For a deeper dive into one of these specific hazards, watch: “Truck Tire Blowouts and When You Need a Lawyer” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTumr1looc.
Cargo Spills and HAZMAT Incidents
With the flow of petrochemicals and industrial supplies through the City of Sealy, cargo spills are a constant threat. Whether it’s gravel falling from a dump truck or hazardous chemicals leaking from a tanker, the resulting road hazards and toxic exposure can injure dozens of people at once. These cases involve specialized HAZMAT regulations under 49 CFR Part 397.
If you’ve been hurt in any of these scenarios in the City of Sealy, don’t wait for the insurance company to do the right thing. They won’t. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 and get a fighter on your side.
Beyond the 18-Wheeler: Other Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Sealy
While many people use the term “truck accident” to refer only to big rigs, there are many other types of commercial vehicles that pose a significant threat to drivers in the City of Sealy. At Attorney911, we have the experience to handle cases involving the entire spectrum of commercial transport.
Corporate Fleet and Delivery Van Accidents
The explosion of e-commerce has filled the City of Sealy with delivery vans from companies like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS. These drivers are often under grueling schedules that incentivize speeding and reckless parking. If an Amazon van hit you, the company may try to hide behind a “Delivery Service Partner” contractor to avoid liability. We know how to pierce that shield and find the corporate responsibility.
Dump Trucks and Concrete Mixers
The City of Sealy is growing, and with growth comes construction. Fully loaded dump trucks and concrete mixers are among the heaviest vehicles on the road, often weighing over 60,000 pounds. These trucks have terrible visibility and are frequently operated by smaller companies with poor safety records and minimal insurance. If a gravel truck from a local quarry caused your wreck, we investigate the hiring construction company as well as the hauler.
Garbage and Waste Truck Accidents
Garbage trucks operate in our City of Sealy residential neighborhoods every day. These vehicles are top-heavy and must constantly stop and start. Because they involve frequent backing maneuvers, they are a primary cause of pedestrian and cyclist accidents. Many of these trucks lack modern backup cameras or sensors, leading to preventable tragedies.
Rental and Moving Trucks (U-Haul, Penske)
This is a unique hazard in the City of Sealy. Almost anyone with a standard driver’s license and a credit card can rent a 26-foot box truck. These drivers have no commercial training, no CDL, and often no experience handling a vehicle that large. If an untrained driver in a rented truck caused your injuries, we look at whether the rental company was negligent in entrusting the vehicle to them.
Public Transit and Bus Accidents
Whether it’s a Greyhound bus on I-10 or a school bus serving the Sealy ISD, accidents involving large numbers of passengers are legally complex. These cases often involve government entities, which means strict “notice of claim” deadlines and potential sovereign immunity issues. If you were injured in a bus accident in the City of Sealy, you need a lawyer who handles government tort claims regularly.
Whether your case involves a tanker, a tow truck, or a local City of Sealy delivery vehicle, we are ready to help. Our firm’s founder, Ralph Manginello, has recovered multi-million dollar settlements for families in nearly every category of commercial vehicle litigation. Call us 24/7 at (888) 288-9911 for your free consultation.
The 16 Liable Parties: Who Really Pays for Your Trucking Accident?
In a standard car wreck in the City of Sealy, you usually sue the other driver. In an 18-wheeler accident, that is almost never enough. To maximize your recovery and ensure your medical bills are covered for life, we must identify every entity that contributed to the crash. There is often a web of corporate responsibility behind a single negligent driver.
- The Truck Driver: Responsible for their own reckless or negligent actions on City of Sealy roads.
- The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier): Liable under the doctrine of respondeat superior for their driver’s actions, and directly liable for negligent hiring, training, and supervision.
- The Truck Owner: Sometimes the person owning the truck is not the one operating it. They are responsible for the vehicle’s safe condition.
- The Cargo Owner (Shipper): If the cargo itself caused the accident (such as a HAZMAT leak), the shipper may be liable.
- The Loading Company: Third parties that balance and secure the load are responsible if shifted cargo causes a jackknife in the City of Sealy.
- The Truck Manufacturer: If a design defect in the cab or trailer made the accident more likely or the injuries more severe.
- The Parts Manufacturer: Liable for defective tires, brakes, steering boxes, or coupling devices that fail at critical moments.
- The Maintenance and Repair Shop: If a mechanic in the City of Sealy or elsewhere performed substandard work that led to mechanical failure.
- The Freight Broker: Brokers who hire “bottom-of-the-barrel” trucking companies with bad safety records can be held liable for negligent selection.
- The Corporate Parent or Brand Owner: The massive corporation whose name is on the side of the truck (e.g., Walmart, Amazon, Coca-Cola) may be liable even if they used a subsidiary or contractor.
- The Government Entity: If a road defect on a City of Sealy street or a state highway was a contributing factor.
- The Oilfield Operator: In cases involving oil and gas transport in Austin County, the company operating the lease often controls the schedule and the lease roads.
- Staffing Companies: If the driver was provided by a temporary agency that failed to verify certifications.
- Rental Truck Companies: U-Haul, Enterprise, or Penske may be liable for negligent maintenance of their equipment.
- Transit Agencies or School Districts: Liable for accidents involving public buses or student transport in the City of Sealy.
- The Federal Government: If your accident involved a USPS truck or a military vehicle, specialized rules under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) apply.
Most firms only look at the driver’s policy. We look at the whole picture. Ralph Manginello and the team at Attorney911 have built a reputation for thorough investigation that leaves no stone unturned. As client Donald Wilcox said, “One company said they would not accept my case. Then I got a call from Manginello… I got a call to come pick up this handsome check.”

48-Hour Urgency: The Evidence Preservation Protocol in Sealy
If you’ve been hit by an 18-wheeler in the City of Sealy, you are currently in a race against time. While you are focusing on your medical recovery, the trucking company is focusing on erasing the evidence of their negligence. Trucking companies are for-profit entities, and they know that the less evidence you have, the less they have to pay you.
Why 48 Hours is Critical
Evidence in these cases is highly perishable.
- ECM (Black Box) Data: The Engine Control Module records speed, braking, and steering inputs. In most trucks, this data is overwritten after a certain number of miles or hours. If the truck is put back in service after the wreck in the City of Sealy, the proof of the driver’s speeding could be gone forever within days.
- ELD (Electronic Logging) Data: These logs prove Hours of Service violations. While digital, they can be altered or “lost” if not legally preserved.
- The Scene Itself: Skid marks on I-10 fade. Debris is cleared. Weather conditions change. We often deploy accident reconstruction experts to the City of Sealy within 24 hours to map the scene using drones and laser scanning.
The Spoliation Letter: Your First Line of Defense
The first thing we do at Attorney911 when you hire us is send a “Notice to Preserve Evidence,” also known as a spoliation letter. We send this to every potentially liable party. This letter legally forbids them from repairing the truck, deleting logs, or destroying any records related to the driver. If they destroy evidence after receiving our letter, we can often get a “spoliation instruction” from a judge, which tells the jury they should assume the destroyed evidence proved the company’s guilt.
Evidence We Protect for You:
- Driver Qualification Files (DQ Files)
- Post-accident drug and alcohol test results
- In-cab dashcam and Netradyne AI footage
- Company dispatch records and internal communications
- Maintenance logs and pre-trip inspection reports
You need an attorney who moves faster than the trucking company. Our associate attorney Lupe Peña knows exactly where these companies hide their records because he used to see it from the inside.

Navigating Catastrophic Injuries and Their Impact
When an 18-wheeler or a heavy industrial vehicle causes an accident in the City of Sealy, the medical results are rarely minor. We aren’t talking about simple scrapes; we are talking about injuries that change how you walk, how you think, and how you interact with your family for the rest of your life. At Attorney911, we provide more than legal help; we help you navigate the medical crisis.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A TBI doesn’t always involve a visible wound. The shear force of a truck impact in the City of Sealy causes the brain to rattle inside the skull, tearing microscopic nerve fibers. Symptoms can range from persistent headaches and memory loss to personality changes and total cognitive decline. The lifetime cost of care for a severe TBI can reach $9.8 million. We work with neuropsychologists to quantify the full impact of these “invisible” injuries.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
When the spinal cord is severed or crushed in a truck wreck, the result is often permanent paralysis. Whether it is paraplegia or quadriplegia, the physical and financial cost is staggering. A victim in the City of Sealy with a high-level spinal injury may face lifetime expenses of over $25 million. We fight to ensure your settlement covers specialized nursing care, home modifications, and cutting-edge rehabilitation.
Amputation and Loss of Limb
Severe crush injuries common in City of Sealy trucking accidents often require surgical amputation. Losing a limb involves not only the trauma of the surgery but the lifelong cost of high-tech prosthetics—many of which must be replaced every few years. Our firm has recovered settlements up to $8.6 million for amputation victims.
Severe Burns and Disfigurement
Fuel fires and chemical spills in Austin County truck wrecks lead to excruciating burn injuries. These often require multiple skin grafts and years of painful reconstructive surgery. The psychological toll of permanent scarring and disfigurement is immense and must be accounted for in your non-economic damages.
Orthopedic Trauma: The “Just a Broken Bone” Myth
Insurance companies in the City of Sealy often minimize “broken legs” or “crushed hips.” But for an active worker, a shattered femur means hardware, multiple surgeries, and a high probability of early-onset arthritis. We describe these injuries to juries for what they really are: life-limiting traumas.
Watch: “What Is the Minimum Payout for Whiplash?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RvPRCTcBQE.
Wrongful Death: The Ultimate Price
We are deeply sorry if you are reading this because you lost a spouse, parent, or child in a trucking accident in the City of Sealy. No amount of money can replace a loved one, but a wrongful death claim is the only way to hold a negligent corporation fully accountable and provide security for your family’s future. Texas families have secured wrongful death settlements ranging from $1.9M to over $9.5M.
At Attorney911, we treated every client with the compassion we would show our own family. As client Chad Harris noted, “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”
If you are suffering from a serious injury in the City of Sealy, call 1-888-ATTY-911. We will help you find the best medical specialists and fight for the resources you need to recover.
Understanding Commercial Truck Insurance and Damages in Texas
One of the biggest reasons people in the City of Sealy seek out Attorney911 is because they realize they aren’t fighting a person—they are fighting an insurance giant. Commercial trucking insurance is a specialized world with much higher stakes than a typical fender bender.
Federal Minimum Insurance Limits
The FMCSA (49 CFR Part 387) mandates that trucking companies carry specific levels of insurance based on what they are hauling:
- General Freight: $750,000 minimum.
- Oil and Large Equipment: $1,000,000 minimum.
- Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT): $5,000,000 minimum.
Many large carriers in the City of Sealy carry an “umbrella” policy with much higher limits—sometimes $50 million or more. Our job is to find every single policy that applies to your case. We are experts in the MCS-90 endorsement, a federal requirement that ensures victims are paid even if the insurance company tries to deny the claim for a technical paperwork error.
Recovering Economic and Non-Economic Damages
Your case in the City of Sealy isn’t just about paying the current hospital bills. We pursue three types of damages:
- Economic Damages: This includes surgery costs, physical therapy, lost paychecks, and the loss of your future “earning capacity.” If you were a tradesman in the City of Sealy and can no longer lift your tools, that entire lifetime of future income is a recoverable debt.
- Non-Economic Damages: This covers the pain you feel every day, the “mental anguish” of PTSD, the loss of companionship with your spouse, and the loss of your ability to enjoy your hobbies. These are often the largest parts of our multi-million dollar settlements.
- Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence—like a trucking company that knowingly hired a driver with three previous DUIs—we ask the jury to award punitive damages. These are designed to PUNISH the company and send a message that this behavior is not tolerated in the City of Sealy.

The Problem with “Lowball” Initial Offers
If the trucking company’s insurance adjuster calls you within 48 hours and offers a “quick check” for $50,000, DO NOT SIGN IT. They know your case in the City of Sealy is likely worth ten or twenty times that amount. They want you to sign away your rights before you realize you need a second surgery or that you can’t return to work.
Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we advance all the costs of the lawsuit. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us a penny in attorney fees. It’s that simple.

City of Sealy Truck Accident FAQ
How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in the City of Sealy?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, if the accident involved a City of Sealy municipal vehicle or a school bus, you may have much shorter “notice of claim” deadlines—sometimes only 90 days. You should consult with us immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911 to protect your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident on I-10?
Texas follows a “Modified Comparative Negligence” rule. As long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages in the City of Sealy. Your final settlement will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. We specialize in investigating these cases to ensure the trucking company doesn’t unfairly shift the blame onto you.
Can I sue the company whose name was on the truck, like Amazon or Walmart?
Yes. Even if they claim the driver was an “independent contractor,” we can often prove liability through “negligent hiring” or by showing the company exercised enough control over the driver to be considered their legal employer. We have litigated cases against the world’s largest companies and won.
Why shouldn’t I just use my own car insurance lawyer?
Your car insurance lawyer is likely a generalist. Trucking accidents in the City of Sealy require deep knowledge of 49 CFR regulations, electronic data preservation, and commercial insurance stacking. Attorney911 is a boutique firm with 25+ years of specialized experience in this specific field.
What does it cost to hire Attorney911?
There are zero upfront costs. We work on contingency. We only get paid if we recover money for you. We also help our City of Sealy clients find medical providers who can treat them now and wait for payment from the settlement.
How do I get the “black box” data from the truck?
You can’t get it yourself—the trucking company won’t give it to you. We obtain this data by sending an immediate spoliation letter and, if necessary, filing a lawsuit and getting a court order to download the data before it is erased.

Historical Industry Results: What Juries Award
While every case is different, and we cannot guarantee a specific outcome, the trend in Texas and across the nation is clear: juries are increasingly unafraid to award “nuclear verdicts” against negligent trucking companies. (Note: These are industry examples, not Attorney911 cases.)
- 2021 Florida: A jury awarded $1 Billion in a trucking accident case where an 18-year-old was killed. The jury found the carrier was grossly negligent in its hiring practices.
- 2022 Texas: Werner Enterprises settled a case for $150 Million involving the death of two children. This remains one of the largest settlements in 18-wheeler history.
- 2024 Alabama: A $160 Million verdict was awarded against a truck manufacturer for a rollover that left a driver paralyzed.
At Attorney911, we prepare every case in the City of Sealy as if it is going to trial. This trial-ready mentality is what forces insurance companies to offer fair settlements. We have recovered over $50 Million total for our clients because we don’t back down.
