Dedicated Truck Accident Litigation in Shady Shores

One moment, you are driving across the Lake Lewisville bridge or navigating the busy intersections of Denton County to get home to Shady Shores. The next, your rearview mirror is filled with the massive grill of an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler that cannot stop in time. The sound of shearing metal and breaking glass is deafening. In that heartbeat, your life changes forever. When a commercial truck hits a passenger vehicle on the highways surrounding Shady Shores, it isn’t a fair fight. Your car weighs about 4,000 pounds; the truck that hit you is 20 times that size.

At Attorney911, we understand that you are facing a legal emergency. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has spent over 25 years in the trenches of personal injury law, fighting for families in Shady Shores and across Texas since 1998. He is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and brings the high-level experience needed to take on Fortune 500 trucking fleets. We don’t just see a case number; we see a neighbor in crisis. As our client Chad Harris once said, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” We carry that philosophy into every Shady Shores truck accident investigation we lead.

The minutes and hours after a wreck in Shady Shores are critical. While you are focused on your physical recovery at a Denton County trauma center, the trucking company has already mobilized. They have rapid-response teams, investigators, and corporate lawyers working to minimize your claim before the police report is even finished. You need a team that moves just as fast. We send out immediate spoliation letters to preserve black box data and driver logs that prove the company broke the law. If you’ve been hurt, calls are answered 24/7 at 1-888-ATTY-911.

Why Shady Shores Truck Accidents Require Specialized Legal Power

Truck accidents in Shady Shores are fundamentally different from standard car crashes. If you treat an 18-wheeler wreck like a typical fender bender, you will lose the compensation you deserve. Commercial litigation involves a web of federal regulations, massive insurance policies, and multiple layers of corporate liability. Ralph Manginello and the team at Attorney911 have built a reputation as “Legal Emergency Lawyers™” because we know how to cut through this complexity.

Our firm offers a unique advantage that few others in North Texas can claim. Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, brings insider knowledge to your Shady Shores case because he used to work for the insurance companies. He knows their playbook. He knows how they train adjusters to offer lowball settlements to Shady Shores residents before the full extent of a traumatic brain injury or spinal damage is known. Now, he uses that “defense-minded” strategy to help us stay three steps ahead of the billion-dollar insurers.

When we represent a victim in Shady Shores, we look at the big picture. We’ve gone head-to-head with some of the largest corporations and insurers in the country, including work in the BP Texas City Refinery litigation, which resulted in over $2 billion in settlements industry-wide. Whether your accident involved an Amazon delivery van, a Walmart 18-wheeler, or a gravel dump truck from a Denton County construction site, our firm has the resources to fight for every dime you are owed. Glenda Walker, another one of our valued clients, noted that we “fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” That is the standard of excellence we bring to Shady Shores.

The Geographic Reality of Trucking Risks in Shady Shores

Shady Shores sits in a unique and dangerous position within Denton County. We are located right in the heart of one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. This growth is fueled by a massive influx of commercial traffic. The I-35 corridor, which funnels thousands of trucks daily from the Mexico border up through the DFW metroplex, is just minutes from Shady Shores. Whether you are on I-35E, Loop 288, or Highway 377, you are sharing the road with fatigued long-haul drivers, overloaded delivery vans, and hazardous cargo.

The proximity to the Alliance logistics hub and DFW International Airport means Shady Shores residents are constantly in the path of regional distribution fleets. Amazon, FedEx, and UPS trucks are a constant presence on our local roads. These companies operate under extreme time pressure, which often leads to “last-mile” delivery drivers making reckless decisions on the residential streets of Shady Shores.

Furthermore, North Texas is a hub for construction and industrial growth. Dump trucks and concrete mixers are frequent sights near Shady Shores. These vehicles have massive blind spots and high centers of gravity, making them prone to rollovers and “squeeze-play” accidents during turns. We know these roads—from the congested stretches near the University of North Texas to the winding paths around Shady Shores. This local knowledge allows us to reconstruct your accident with precision, showing exactly how the road conditions and truck behavior converged to cause your injuries.

Proving Negligence: The 16 Liable Parties We Investigate

Most general practice lawyers only think to sue the truck driver. At Attorney911, we know that is a mistake that leaves millions of dollars on the table. In a Shady Shores truck accident, the driver is often just the final link in a long chain of negligence. We cast a wide net to identify every party that contributed to your suffering.

Under the doctrine of Respondeat Superior, the trucking company is typically liable for the actions of its employees. But we don’t stop there. We investigate the following parties to maximize the insurance pools available for your recovery:

1. The Truck Driver: For speeding, fatigue, or distracted driving.
2. The Motor Carrier/Trucking Company: For negligent hiring or pressuring drivers to violate safety laws.
3. The Cargo Shipper: If the load was poorly balanced or overweight.
4. The Loading Company: For failing to secure cargo according to 49 CFR standards.
5. The Truck Manufacturer: If a design defect in the brakes or tires caused the crash.
6. The Maintenance Provider: For failing to repair known mechanical issues.
7. The Trailer Owner: If the trailer was unroadworthy.
8. The Freight Broker: For hiring a carrier with a “conditional” or “unsatisfactory” safety rating.
9. The Parts Manufacturer: If a specific component, like a Mansfield bar or steering link, failed.
10. The Government Entity: If poor road design or unmaintained signals in Denton County played a role.
11. Corporate Parents (Amazon/Walmart/Home Depot): Holding the brand name accountable for their delivery fleets.
12. Oilfield Operators: If the truck was hauling equipment or water for a regional drilling site.
13. Staffing Agencies: For providing unqualified or medically unfit drivers.
14. Rental Companies (U-Haul/Penske): For negligent maintenance or entrusting a massive truck to an untrained renter.
15. Public Transit/School Districts: If a bus was involved in your Shady Shores wreck.
16. The Federal Government: If a USPS or military vehicle caused the accident, involving the Federal Tort Claims Act.

When an 18-wheeler takes your mobility or your loved one, we believe every responsible party should pay. If you were hit by a delivery driver who was “contracted” rather than “employed,” we know how to pierce that corporate shield. As Donald Wilcox recalls, “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.” We don’t back down from complex liability puzzles.

Understanding FMCSA Regulations: How We Build Your Shady Shores Case

Commercial trucking is governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These regulations, found in 49 CFR Parts 300-399, are the roadmap we use to prove the tucking company was negligent. In Shady Shores, where the I-35 corridor sees heavy enforcement, violations of these rules are common.

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (The Fatigue Rule)

This is the most critical regulation in long-haul trucking. Drivers are limited to 11 hours of driving in a 14-hour window, followed by 10 consecutive hours off. However, in the high-stakes world of North Texas logistics, drivers are often pushed to “cook the books.” We subpoena Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data to prove the driver was operating while impaired by fatigue. A fatigued driver has the same reaction time as someone who is legally intoxicated.

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualifications

Every trucking company has a duty to ensure their drivers are medically fit and properly trained. We demand the “Driver Qualification File” for the person who hit you. Many times, we find that the carrier hired a driver with a history of DUIs, multiple “at-fault” wrecks, or a lapsed medical certificate. In the eyes of the law, putting an unqualified driver on the highways near Shady Shores is a form of corporate recklessness.

49 CFR Part 396: Inspection and Maintenance

Brake failure is a major cause of wrecks on the steep grades and congested interchanges of Denton County. Federal law requires systematic inspection and repair. If the maintenance logs show “deferred maintenance” on brakes or tires to save money, that is clear evidence of negligence. We’ve seen cases where a $50 part failure led to a multi-million dollar tragedy in Shady Shores.

49 CFR Part 393: Parts and Cargo Securement

When you see a truck carrying steel coils, lumber, or gravel near Shady Shores, that cargo must be secured according to strict performance criteria. If the load shifts or falls, the truck becomes a 40-ton weapon. We work with reconstruction experts to prove that a cargo securement failure caused the driver to lose control or caused the trailer to jackknife.

Catastrophic Injuries: Fighting for the Future of Shady Shores Victims

A truck accident doesn’t just result in a few bruises. The physical toll is often permanent and life-altering. At Attorney911, we have recovered multi-million dollar settlements for victims facing the toughest roads to recovery. Ralph Manginello and his team focus on obtaining the resources you need for a lifetime of care.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Whether it’s a “mild” concussion or a permanent cognitive deficit, a TBI changes your identity. We’ve recovered settlements ranging from $1.5M to $9.8M for brain injury victims. We understand the “coup-contrecoup” mechanism of injury where the brain impacts the skull, leading to memory loss, personality changes, and executive function disorders. Our team works with top-tier neuropsychologists to document the real-world impact on your ability to work and enjoy life in Shady Shores.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

The force of an underride collision or a rollover can easily sever the spinal cord. High tetraplegia (C1-C4) means a lifetime of ventilator dependency, while paraplegia (T1-L5) takes away your ability to walk. The lifetime cost of care for these injuries can exceed $25 million. We fight for settlements that cover 24/7 nursing care, home modifications for Shady Shores residences, and advanced mobility equipment.

Amputations and Crush Injuries

In accidents involving dump trucks or wide-turning 18-wheelers, limbs are often caught in the wreckage. Traumatic amputation or surgical removal due to compartment syndrome leaves victims with permanent disability. We’ve secured amputee settlements between $1.9M and $8.6M. We ensure your award covers the cost of advanced myoelectric prosthetics, which must be replaced every few years.

Severe Burns and Disfigurement

Hazmat spills and fuel tank ruptures on I-35 can lead to horrific fires. Third and fourth-degree burns require agonizing skin grafts and reconstructive surgeries. The psychological toll of disfigurement is immense. We pursue “hedonic damages” to compensate you for the loss of enjoyment of life and the mental anguish of carrying these scars.

Wrongful Death

If a trucking company’s greed took the life of your spouse, child, or parent, no amount of money can bring them back. But a wrongful death claim can provide the financial security your family needs while sending a message that this conduct will not be tolerated in Denton County. We have recovered wrongful death settlements ranging from $1.9M to $9.5M. We are here to carry the legal burden while you grieve. As Ernest Cano said, “Mr. Manginello and his firm are first class. Will fight tooth and nail for you.”

Common Accident Types on Shady Shores Roadways

We have handled every type of commercial vehicle crash imagineable. Each has a unique physics profile and liability structure.

• Jackknife Wrecks: Often caused by improper braking on the slick bridges over Lake Lewisville.
• Rollover Accidents: Common on the sweeping entrance and exit ramps of Loop 288 or the I-35 interchanges. Top-heavy loads and excessive speed are almost always to blame.
• Underride Collisions: These are the most lethal. When a car slides under the rear or side of a trailer, the result is often decapitation or catastrophic head trauma. We investigate the adequacy of the “ICC bumper” and reflective tape.
• Dump Truck and Gravel Spills: Construction near Shady Shores often involves overloaded dump trucks dropping debris or losing control due to high centers of gravity.
• Amazon and FedEx “Last-Mile” Vans: These vehicles are often driven by sub-contractors with minimal training who are rushing to meet impossible delivery quotas.
• Concrete Mixer Slosh: The rotating drum of a cement truck creates a shifting center of gravity. If the driver takes a corner too fast in Shady Shores, the truck becomes an unstoppable crushing force.

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Urgency

If you are reading this in the days following a crash in Shady Shores, you must realize that time is your greatest enemy. The “Black Box” (ECM) in the truck records speed, braking, and steering inputs in the seconds before impact. Many of these systems overwrite data every 30 days. If the trucking company moves the truck or puts it back into service, that evidence is lost.

We move with aggressive speed to protect you. We send “litigation hold” or spoliation letters to the carrier and their insurer the moment we are hired. We demand the preservation of:

• The truck and trailer in its post-crash condition.
• Electronic data from the engine and cab.
• The driver’s “fatigue scores” and telematics data (GPS).
• In-cab camera footage from systems like Netradyne or DriveCam.
• Dispatch records showing the “Journey Management Plan.”

If the company ignores our letter and destroys evidence, we can ask the court for an “adverse inference” instruction. This tells the jury to assume the destroyed evidence would have proved the trucking company was guilty. We have used this strategy to win cases that other firms would have walked away from. Angel Walle, a former client, noted: “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.”

Calculating Your Damages after a Shady Shores Truck Wreck

How much is your case worth? In Texas, you are entitled to two types of compensatory damages: Economic and Non-Economic.

Economic damages are the quantifiable losses:

• Past and future medical bills (ER visits, surgeries, rehab).
• Lost wages (paychecks you missed while in the hospital).
• Loss of earning capacity (if you can no longer work in your field).
• Home and vehicle modifications for disabilities.

Non-Economic damages are more subjective but often more valuable:

• Physical pain and suffering (past and future).
• Mental anguish and PTSD (the terror of the wreck and the nightmares that follow).
• Disfigurement and physical impairment.
• Loss of consortium (the impact on your relationship with your spouse).

In extreme cases, we also pursue Punitive Damages. If the trucking company acted with “gross negligence”—such as knowingly putting a driver with a suspended license in a truck with bad brakes—we can ask the jury to punish them with an additional award to ensure they never do it again.

Insurance Tactics: We Know the Playbook

Because commercial trucks carry policies ranging from $750,000 to $5 million (or more for hazmat), insurance companies fight tooth and nail to keep that money. Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, spent years defending these companies. He understands exactly how they try to shift blame to you.

Common tactics include:

• The Quick Lowball: Offering $25,000 as a “goodwill gesture” before you even know you need surgery.
• Blaming the Victim: Claiming you were speeding or “darted in front” of the truck.
• Missing Records: Claiming logs or maintenance files were “lost” or “expired.”
• Independent Contractors: Large brands (like Amazon) claiming they aren’t responsible for the driver because they were a contractor.

We pierce these shields. We know which questions to ask in depositions and which documents to demand in discovery to show exactly who was pulling the strings. You pay us nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—33.33% pre-trial or 40% if we go to trial. If we don’t win, you don’t pay a dime.

Frequently Asked Questions for Shady Shores Truck Accident Victims

How long do I have to file a claim in Town of Shady Shores?

In Texas, the general statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death is two years from the date of the accident. However, certain claims against government entities (like a city bus or TxDOT truck) may have much shorter notice deadlines—sometimes as little as 90 days. You should never wait until the deadline is close.

What if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Texas is a “modified comparative negligence” state with a 51% bar. This means as long as you were 50% or less responsible for the wreck, you can still recover damages. However, your total award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If the jury awards $1 million but finds you were 10% at fault for not wearing a seatbelt, you would receive $900,000.

The truck driver was an “Independent Contractor.” Can I still sue the company?

Yes. We use the “Control Test” to prove that if the company set the routes, provided the equipment, and controlled the schedule, they are functionally the employer regardless of what the contract says. This is especially important in cases against FedEx Ground and Amazon logistics partners.

How much insurance money is available in a commercial case?

Federal law requires at least $750,000 for general freight. Hazardous material tankers must carry $5 million. Large corporations often carry “excess” or “umbrella” policies that can reach $50 million or $100 million. We dig deep to find every layer of coverage.

Why shouldn’t I just take the first settlement offer?

The first offer is rarely based on the real value of your future needs. It is based on the insurer’s desire to “close the file.” Once you sign a release, you can never ask for more money, even if you need another surgery next year. We ensure your settlement covers your lifetime needs.

My loved one was killed on I-35. Who is allowed to bring the lawsuit?

Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act, the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased are entitled to bring a claim. If none of these parties act within three months, the executor or administrator of the estate can file.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company is admitting fault?

Yes. Admitting fault is very different from paying fair value. They may admit fault but still argue that your injuries were “pre-existing” or that your medical treatments are “unnecessary.” You need an attorney to document the true cost of your injuries.

Can I sue for PTSD after being hit by an 18-wheeler?

Absolutely. Mental anguish and psychological trauma are real, compensable injuries in Texas. The terror of being crushed by a semi-truck often leads to lifelong anxiety and driving phobia. We work with therapists to prove these “invisible” injuries to the insurance company.

What happens if the black box data has already been deleted?

If the trucking company allowed the data to be overwritten AFTER being put on notice of a claim, we can seek sanctions for “spoliation.” This can include a jury instruction that essentially assumes the truck was speeding or the driver failed to brake.

How much do you charge for a truck accident consultation?

Zero. All initial consultations are free and confidential. We are available 24/7 to discuss your legal options. Call 888-ATTY-911 to get started.

What are the “No-Zones” on a commercial truck?

The No-Zones are massive blind spots where the truck driver cannot see you. They include 20 feet in front of the cab, 30 feet behind the trailer, and large areas on either side. However, being in a blind spot does NOT excuse a truck driver. They have a duty to install mirrors and check them before maneuvering.

What is a “Nuclear Verdict” and why does it matter?

A nuclear verdict is a jury award exceeding $10 million. Since 2013, these awards have increased by 6.4% annually. They happen when a jury sees that a company chose profit over safety. These verdicts put pressure on all trucking companies to offer fairer settlements to victims like you.

What if the truck driver was on drugs or alcohol?

Federal law (49 CFR Part 382) requires immediate post-accident drug and alcohol testing. If a driver tests positive, the carrier may be liable for “negligent entrustment.” This often leads to punitive damages.

Why is black box data so important?

The “Engine Control Module” data is unbiased. It doesn’t lie. It tells us the exact speed the truck was traveling, when the brakes were hit (or if they were hit at all), and whether the driver was using cruise control. It is often the piece of evidence that breaks a case wide open.

Can I get a rental car after a truck accident?

The trucking company’s physical damage insurance should cover your rental if your car is repairable. If it’s totaled, they must pay the “fair market value.” We can help coordinate this process while we focus on the injury portion of your claim.

What if I was a passenger in the truck?

You still have a claim. As a passenger, you have no control over the vehicle and are almost never at fault. You can sue the truck driver, the trucking company, or any other driver involved in the crash. Co-drivers also have complex claims involving both workers’ comp and third-party liability.

Can I sue a company for a tire blowout accident?

Yes. Tire blowouts are usually the result of three things: improper maintenance (underinflation), overloading the truck, or a manufacturing defect. We analyze the tire remnants to determine which party failed in their duty.

What is “loss of consortium”?

Loss of consortium is a claim brought by the victim’s spouse for the loss of companionship, affection, and intimacy caused by the injury. It recognizes that when one person is catastrophically injured, the whole family suffers.

Why do you need an accident reconstruction expert?

Trucking companies have their own experts on site within hours. We hire independent engineers who use laser scanning, drone photography, and physics modeling to show exactly how the accident happened. This level of detail is necessary to beat corporate defense lawyers.

What is a “Mansfield Bar” and why does it matter in underride wrecks?

The Mansfield Bar is the rear impact guard required on trailers. Many are old, weak, or improperly maintained. If the guard failed because of rust or poor design, the trailer manufacturer or the carrier is liable for the resulting underride injuries.

Can I recover money if I have a pre-existing back injury?

Yes. Texas follow the “Eggshell Plaintiff” rule. The defendant is responsible for the AGGRAVATION of a pre-existing condition. If you were managing your back pain but the truck wreck made it surgical, the trucking company is liable for that change in your health.

How do I report a dangerous truck driver in Denton County?

You can report safety violations to the FMCSA at 1-888-DOT-SAFT or through their online portal. We often use these complaints to show a “pattern of behavior” by the trucking company.

What is the difference between a settlement and a verdict?

A settlement is a negotiated agreement reached before the end of a trial. A verdict is the final decision made by a jury at trial. We prepare for the verdict to force the best possible settlement.

What does the “MCMIS” report show?

The Motor Carrier Management Information System report shows the history of the carrier’s safety inspections, out-of-service violations, and crash data. It helps us prove that the company knew its fleet was dangerous long before they hit you.

Why is Attorney911 different from other personal injury firms?

We offer the personal attention of a local Shady Shores advocate with the aggressive litigation power of a federal-level law firm. Ralph Manginello is personally involved in every case. We don’t just pass you off to a file clerk.

What should I not say to an insurance adjuster?

Do not say “I’m fine” or “I’m sorry.” Do not speculate on speeds or distances. Most importantly, do not agree to a recorded statement. The adjuster is searching for any reason to say the accident was your fault or that your injuries are faked.

Can I recover damages if I was hit by a truck while walking or biking?

Yes. Pedestrians and cyclists are “vulnerable road users.” Because you have no protection, the injuries are almost always catastrophic. The law holds truck drivers to a high standard of care to watch for people on foot or bike, especially at intersections.

What if the trucking company is from another state?

Because trucking is interstate commerce, we can sue out-of-state companies in federal court. Ralph Manginello’s admission to federal court allows him to litigate against carriers based anywhere in the United States.

How are medical bills handled if the case takes two years?

We help our clients access medical care through “Letters of Protection.” This allows you to get the treatment you need now—from surgeries to PT—while delaying payment until your case resolves. We don’t want you to sacrifice your health for your finances.

What is “loss of enjoyment of life”?

These are damages for the loss of your hobbies and passions. If you can no longer go fishing on Lake Lewisville, hike with your children, or play an instrument because of your injuries, the law allows you to be compensated for that emotional loss.

Can I sue for a wide-turn “squeeze” accident?

Yes. Truck drivers must signal well in advance and check their right-side mirrors constantly when making a wide turn. If they “squeezed” you against a curb or building because they failed to see you, the company is liable.

How do you handle cases against Amazon or Walmart?

These companies are sophisticated and well-funded. We use their own monitoring data—like Netradyne cameras—to show their drivers’ negligence. We are not intimidated by their size; we have successfully litigated against Fortune 1 corporations for over two decades.

What is an “Event Data Recorder” (EDR)?

The EDR is the part of the black box that triggers during a crash. It records the five seconds of data immediately preceding the impact. It is the single most objective witness to your accident.

What if the truck driver was speeding?

Speeding increases the impact force and the stopping distance. FMCSA § 392.6 prohibits carriers from scheduling runs that require speeding. We prove speeding through ECM data and skid mark analysis.

Can I sue if a truck tire debris hit my car?

Yes. “Road gators” or tire retreads that fly off are usually the result of using old tires or failing to maintain proper inflation. We trace the debris to the carrier to hold them accountable for maintenance failures.

What are the limits on punitive damages in Texas?

In Texas, punitive damages are generally capped at the greater of $200,000 or two times economic damages plus an amount equal to non-economic damages (not to exceed $750,000). We push for the maximum allowed when the conduct is egregious.

Can I recover for “loss of guidance” in a wrongful death case?

Yes. This is specifically for children who lose the mentorship, education, and moral guidance of a parent. It is often a major component of a wrongful death award for Shady Shores families.

What is a vocational expert?

A vocational expert evaluates what kind of work you can still do after an injury. If you can only work a desk job instead of your previous construction job, the vocational expert calculates your “diminished earning capacity.”

Why do I need to see a doctor immediately?

If you wait two weeks to see a doctor, the insurance company will document a “gap in treatment.” They will argue that if you were really hurt, you wouldn’t have waited. See a doctor today to protect your health and your case.

What is “gross negligence”?

Gross negligence is a “conscious indifference” to the safety of others. It goes beyond a simple mistake. Examples include allowing a driver to work 20 hours straight or ignoring “brake failure” warnings on a truck.

How do I get a copy of the police report?

We handle that for you. We obtain the CRIS (Crash Records Information System) report and analyze the officer’s narrative and the contributing factors codes.

Why do trucking cases settle for more than car cases?

The injuries are worse, the insurance policies are larger, and the trucking company has a higher legal duty of care than a private citizen. Professional drivers are held to professional standards.

What if the truck driver was distracted by their cellphone?

We subpoena the driver’s cell phone records to show if they were texting, calling, or using apps at the exact timestamp of the crash. 49 CFR § 392.82 strictly prohibits handheld phone use by CMV drivers.

How do you prove a truck was overweight?

We check weigh station records and the “Bill of Lading” which records the cargo weight at the start of the trip. An overweight truck is harder to stop and more likely to roll over.

Can I sue the freight broker?

Yes, under a “negligent selection” theory. If the broker hired a carrier they knew was unsafe just to save money, the broker shares the blame for your injuries.

What happens if I am disabled for life?

We retain a Life Care Planner to project every medical cost you will ever have until the age of 80 or 90. We ensure your settlement provides for you long after the legal case is over.

How do you handle “He Said-She Said” cases?

We let the physical evidence do the talking. Paint transfers, crush patterns, and electronic data don’t lie. Even if there are no witnesses, we can reconstruct the truth of who was in which lane.

Can I recover for my spouse’s lost wages?

If your spouse had to quit their job to become your full-time caregiver, their lost income may be recoverable as part of the overall damages.
