City of Howardwick Truck Accident Lawyer: The Manginello Law Firm
The impact was catastrophic. On the long, windswept stretches of US-287 near City of Howardwick, 80,000 pounds of steel slammed into your vehicle. In an instant, your car was transformed into twisted metal, and your life was changed forever. An 18-wheeler doesn’t give you time to react, and when a commercial driver makes a mistake on our Donley County roads, the physics are never in your favor. Your car weighs roughly 4,000 pounds; the truck that hit you weighs 20 times that much. That is not a fair fight on the highway, and it is not a fair fight in the courtroom when you go up against a multi-billion dollar trucking company alone.
If you are reading this, you are likely in pain, facing mounting medical bills, and wondering how you will provide for your family. Perhaps you were heading toward Clarendon or returning home to City of Howardwick from a trip to Amarillo when a fatigued driver drifted into your lane. You need to know that the trucking company has already started their defense. Before the ambulance even left the scene on Highway 287, their rapid-response team was likely already on-site or on the phone, working to protect their profits and minimize your suffering.
We are Attorney911, led by our managing partner Ralph Manginello. Since 1998, Ralph Manginello has been fighting for injury victims, bringing over 25 years of courtroom experience to every case we handle. We are not a settlement mill; we are trial lawyers who know how to win. Our team includes associate attorney Lupe Peña, who previously worked for national insurance defense firms. He knows the internal playbook that insurance companies use to deny and delay your claim because he used to see it from the inside. Now, he uses that insider knowledge to fight for the people of City of Howardwick.
When an 18-wheeler changes your life, you need more than a general practice attorney. You need a team that understands federal trucking regulations, the mechanics of catastrophic injuries, and the corporate structures that these companies use to hide their liability. We have recovered multi-million dollar settlements for our clients, including traumatic brain injury recoveries ranging from $1.5 million to $9.8 million and wrongful death settlements reaching over $9.5 million. Our firm is powerful, proven, and ready to stand with you.
Don’t let a negligent trucking company dictate your future. Call Attorney911 now at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Understanding Texas Trucking Laws in City of Howardwick
When you are involved in a commercial vehicle accident in City of Howardwick, your case is governed by specific Texas state laws that differ significantly from other jurisdictions. Navigating these rules requires an attorney who understands the nuances of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code and the unique environment of the Texas Panhandle.
The Texas Statute of Limitations
The clock represents your greatest enemy after a truck crash. In City of Howardwick, you have exactly two years from the date of the accident to file a formal personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, your right to seek compensation is lost forever, regardless of how severe your injuries are or how obviously the truck driver was at fault. While two years may seem like a long time, in the world of high-stakes trucking litigation, every day matters. Evidence like black box data can be overwritten in as little as 30 days, and logistics records are often purged after six months. We recommend contacting our team as soon as possible so we can secure the evidence necessary to beat the statutory clock.
Modified Comparative Negligence (The 51% Bar Rule)
Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” system with a 51% bar. This means that in City of Howardwick, you can still recover damages even if you were partially to blame for the accident—provided your percentage of fault is 50% or less. If a jury determines you were 51% or more responsible for the collision, you recover zero. If you are found to be 20% at fault, your final award is reduced by that 20%.
Trucking insurance adjusters will almost always try to shift blame onto City of Howardwick drivers. They will claim you were speeding, distracted, or failed to yield. Because our associate attorney Lupe Peña spent years working in insurance defense, we know exactly how they manipulate these fault percentages to save their companies money. We work with accident reconstruction experts to prove the truck driver’s negligence and protect your right to full recovery under Texas law.
Why City of Howardwick Trunking Corridors are Dangerous
City of Howardwick sits in a unique geographic position. While a peaceful community, its proximity to US-287 makes it a high-risk zone for 18-wheeler accidents. US-287 is often called the “Panhandle Shortcut,” serving as the primary freight artery connecting the DFW Metroplex to Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. The sheer volume of long-haul trailers passing near City of Howardwick daily is staggering. These drivers are often at the far end of their federally mandated hours-of-service limits, leading to extreme fatigue as they transit Donley County.
The Texas Panhandle is also notorious for high winds and sudden weather shifts. A fully loaded trailer can act like a massive sail. If a driver is inexperienced with the gusting winds near City of Howardwick, a rollover or jackknife accident becomes a terrifying reality for anyone sharing the road. Our team understands these local factors and has the federal court experience to take on out-of-state carriers who treat City of Howardwick like nothing more than a miles-marker on their way to a delivery.
FMCSA Regulations: Proving Negligence in your Howardwick Case
Common car accidents are usually caused by simple carelessness. Commercial truck accidents in City of Howardwick are often the result of systemic violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). These are federal laws found in 49 CFR Parts 390-399 that every driver and trucking company must follow. When we take on your case, we look for violations in these specific areas to prove the company was negligent.
49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS)
Driver fatigue is the leading cause of fatal accidents on the highways surrounding City of Howardwick. Federal law is very specific about rest:
- 11-Hour Driving Limit: Drivers cannot spend more than 11 hours behind the wheel after 10 consecutive hours off duty.
- 14-Hour Window: A driver cannot drive past the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty.
- 30-Minute Break: After 8 cumulative hours of driving, a 30-minute rest is mandatory.
Trucking companies often pressure their drivers to ignore these rules to meet tight delivery deadlines at distribution centers in Amarillo or Dallas. They might even encourage “ghost logging” or falsifying electronic records. Ralph Manginello and our legal team subpoena the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data immediately. If that driver hit you near City of Howardwick while they should have been sleeping, the trucking company broke federal law.
49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification
The person behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound machine must be qualified. Under Part 391, the trucking company must maintain a “Driver Qualification File” for every operator. This file must include their driving record, medical certification, and drug test results. If a company hired a driver with a history of DUIs or a revoked CDL and that driver caused your accident in City of Howardwick, the company is liable for negligent hiring.
49 CFR Part 393 & 396: Parts, Accessories, and Inspections
An 18-wheeler can only stop safely if its brakes and tires are in perfect condition. Under Part 396, every motor carrier must systematically inspect, repair, and maintain all vehicles. Drivers must also conduct pre-trip and post-trip inspections (DVIRs). Brake failure accounts for nearly 30% of truck crashes. If a truck slammed into you in City of Howardwick because its brakes were out of adjustment or its tires were worn bald, we will find the maintenance logs to prove it.
The trucking company’s defense team will try to say the accident was unavoidable. We use these federal citations to show the jury that the accident was not only avoidable—it was a predictable result of the company’s decision to break the law. Call us at 888-ATTY-911 and let us start auditing their records for your City of Howardwick claim.
Types of Commercial Vehicle Accidents in City of Howardwick
Every truck accident has a unique set of physics and causes. Whether you were hit on US-287 or a local City of Howardwick road, understanding the mechanics of the crash helps us identify the liable parties.
Jackknife Accidents on Panhandle Roads
A jackknife occurs when the truck’s drive wheels lock up, causing the trailer to swing out perpendicular to the cab. In the City of Howardwick area, rain or sudden Panhandle ice can turn US-287 into a skating rink. When an 18-wheeler jackknifes, it sweeps across multiple lanes, leaving cars with nowhere to go. This typically indicates a violation of 49 CFR § 392.6 (speeding for conditions) or 49 CFR § 393.48 (brake system malfunction). These crashes often cause multi-vehicle pileups and catastrophic crush injuries.
Underride Collisions
Perhaps the most terrifying crash type is the underride. This happens when a passenger vehicle slides beneath the rear or side of a semi-trailer because the trailer lacks proper “Mansfield Bars” or safety guards. In City of Howardwick, where visibility can be low during dust storms or at night, a truck that pulls out onto a highway without adequate reflective tape (violating 49 CFR § 393.11) can become an invisible wall. These accidents are frequently fatal, often resulting in decapitation or severe traumatic brain injuries.
Rollover Wrecks and Panhandle Winds
As a resident of City of Howardwick, you know the winds in Donley County can be extreme. An 18-wheeler has a high center of gravity. If a driver takes a turn too fast or if their cargo shifts (violating 49 CFR § 393.100), the truck can tip over. When a massive trailer rolls onto a sedan, there is almost no survivable space. These accidents are often linked to improper cargo securement or fatigued drivers who overcorrect in the wind.
Rear-End Collisions by Fatigued Drivers
Because trucks require 40% more stopping distance than cars, rear-end collisions are common on the highways leading in and out of City of Howardwick. An 80,000-pound truck at 65 mph needs nearly two football fields to stop. If the driver is texting (violating 49 CFR § 392.80) or following too closely (§ 392.11), they can flatten the car in front of them before they even touch the brakes. These impacts result in severe spinal injuries, herniated discs, and whiplash that many insurance adjusters will try to call “minor.” We know from 25 years of experience that there is nothing minor about being rear-ended by a semi-truck.
Blind Spot “No-Zone” Crashes
Trucks have four massive blind spots: the front 20 feet, the rear 30 feet, and the sides. Many accidents in the City of Howardwick area occur when a truck changes lanes without seeing a smaller vehicle. The FMCSA requires drivers to check mirrors, but many fail to do so. If you were sideswiped by a truck that “didn’t see you,” the driver and the company are responsible for the failure to maintain a proper lookout.
If you’ve been involved in any of these accidents, call (888) 288-9911 immediately. We serve victims across City of Howardwick and the entire Texas Panhandle.
Identifying the 16 Potentially Liable Parties
Most law firms only sue the driver. At Attorney911, we go deeper. We investigate the entire logistical chain that put that dangerous truck on a City of Howardwick road. More defendants mean more insurance policies to cover your catastrophic injuries.
- The Truck Driver: Responsible for direct negligence, such as speeding, fatigue, or distraction.
- The Trucking Company (Carrier): Liable for their employees and for negligent hiring, training, and maintenance.
- The Cargo Owner (Shipper): If they knew the cargo was hazardous or requested an impossible delivery schedule.
- The Loading Company: If improperly secured or unbalanced cargo caused a rollover near City of Howardwick.
- The Truck Manufacturer: If a design or manufacturing defect, like a faulty steering column, caused the crash.
- Parts Manufacturer: If a defective brake component or a faulty tire caused a blowout.
- Maintenance Company: If a third-party mechanic failed to identify a critical safety issue during an inspection.
- Freight Brokers: If they hired an unsafe carrier with bad safety scores to move a load through City of Howardwick.
- The Truck Owner: If the tractor was leased to a carrier but the owner failed to maintain the equipment.
- Government Entities: If poor road design or a maintenance failure on a state road near City of Howardwick contributed to the crash.
- Corporate Parent Company: Such as Walmart or Amazon. We look to see if the parent brand dictates the unsafe schedules.
- Oilfield Operator: If the truck was hauling equipment for a major oil company that failed to maintain safe lease roads.
- Staffing Company: If the driver was provided by a temp agency that didn’t verify their CDL or background.
- Rental Truck Company: Companies like U-Haul or Penske if they rented a 26,000-pound truck to an unqualified driver or failed to maintain it.
- Transit Agency/School District: If the accident involved a public bus or school transport with sovereign immunity issues.
- Federal Government (FTCA): If a USPS mail carrier or military vehicle was involved, requiring a Federal Tort Claims Act filing.
Every one of these parties has a team of adjusters working for them. You need Ralph Manginello and the Manginello Law Firm to ensure the finger-pointing stops and you get paid. We investigate every link in the chain for every City of Howardwick client.
Corporate Fleet Accidents: Amazon, Walmart, and Delivery Vans
The roads in City of Howardwick are no longer just for big rigs; they are filled with corporate delivery vehicles. If you were hit by an Amazon van, a Walmart truck, or a FedEx carrier, you are fighting more than just a driver—you are fighting a corporate empire.
The Amazon “Independent Contractor” Defense
If an Amazon van hit you in City of Howardwick, Amazon will likely claim they aren’t responsible because the driver worked for a “Delivery Service Partner” (DSP). We know this is a liability shield. Amazon controls the routes, the schedules, the uniforms, and monitors the drivers with in-cab Netradyne cameras. We fight to pierce this shield and hold Amazon accountable for the quotas that force their drivers to take risks on City of Howardwick streets.
Walmart’s Rapid Response Teams
Walmart operates one of the largest private fleets in the country. They are self-insured, meaning they pay for your injuries directly from their own pockets up to a high limit. This makes them fight incredibly hard. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has gone head-to-head with corporate giants like Walmart and BP. We aren’t intimidated by their teams of lawyers. We know how to demand their DriveCam footage and Smith System training records to prove they knew their driver was a risk.
Food and Beverage Delivery: Sysco and Pepsi
Trucks from companies like Sysco or Coca-Cola are constant fixtures in City of Howardwick. These are heavy, temperature-controlled vehicles that must hit dozens of stops daily. This schedule pressure leads to illegal parking, backing accidents, and distracted driving. If one of these branded corporate vehicles injured you, their parent companies carry massive umbrella policies that can provide the settlement you need for long-term care.
If a corporate vehicle has turned your life upside down in City of Howardwick, call us at 1-888-ATTY-911. We won’t let them hide behind their corporate structure.
48-Hour Urgency: Evidence Preservation in Howardwick
Every hour you wait after a truck accident near City of Howardwick, evidence is being lost. The trucking company is legally allowed to destroy certain records after a period of time unless a lawyer stops them.
ECM and Black Box Data
The Engine Control Module (ECM) records exactly how fast the truck was going, when the brakes were applied, and if the driver was wearing a seatbelt. In many systems, this data is overwritten in 30 days. If the truck stays in service after a crash in City of Howardwick, that data might be gone in a week. We send a formal “Spoliation Letter” immediately to demand they ground the truck and preserve the data.
Dashcam and Surveillance Video
Modern corporate fleets, especially Amazon and Walmart, use AI-powered cameras that record both the road and the driver. Many small businesses near Howardwick also have security cameras. This footage is often deleted on a 7-to-30-day loop. We move fast to canvas the area and subpoena high-definition video of the crash before it disappears.
Driver Qualification Files and Logbooks
Trucking companies must keep driver logs for six months. After that, they can shred them. If we don’t act quickly to secure the logs of the driver who hit you in City of Howardwick, we may lose the absolute proof that they had been driving for 16 hours straight.
The trucking company is already building their defense. It’s time for you to build your offense. Call our team at (888) 288-9911. We send investigators to accident scenes near City of Howardwick within 24 hours of being hired.
Catastrophic Injuries and Your Road to Recovery
Truck accidents don’t just cause “fender benders.” They cause life-altering traumas. Because an 80,000-pound truck carries so much kinetic energy, the human body inside a car simply cannot absorb the blow without devastating consequences.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A brain injury changes everything—how you speak, how you think, and who you are to your family. Even a “mild” concussion can lead to permanent cognitive deficits. We have recovered millions for TBI victims. As client Chad Harris said after we handled his case, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” We ensure you get to the best neurologists and neuropsychologists so the true extent of your brain injury is documented for the jury. TBI settlements in our office have ranged from $1.5 million to nearly $10 million.
Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
A severed or crushed spinal cord can leave a City of Howardwick resident facing a lifetime in a wheelchair. The costs for home modifications, specialized vans, and 24/7 care can exceed $5 million. We fight for settlements that cover your entire life care plan, not just your immediate medical bills.
Amputations and Crush Injuries
Underride and wide-turn accidents often lead to traumatic amputations. We have successfully secured settlements in the $1.9 million to $8.6 million range for amputation victims. These cases require vocational experts to prove how your career has been impacted and psychologists to address the trauma of losing a limb.
Wrongful Death
If you lost a loved one in a crash near City of Howardwick, we are deeply sorry. No amount of money can replace a family member, but it can provide justice and security for those left behind. We have recovered between $1.9 million and $9.5 million in wrongful death cases, holding companies accountable for the lives they’ve taken through negligence.
Our mission is to ensure you have the resources to recover as fully as possible. As client Glenda Walker told us after her recovery, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” We will do the same for you in City of Howardwick. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for compassionate, aggressive representation.
Understanding Commercial Truck Insurance and Damages
A typical car insurance policy in Texas might only have $30,000 in coverage. That won’t even cover the first night in an ICU. Federal law recognizes this, which is why commercial trucks are required to carry much larger policies.
Insurance Minimums
- General Freight: $750,000 minimum.
- Oil and Large Equipment: $1,000,000 minimum.
- Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT): $5,000,000 minimum.
Many large carriers like Walmart or J.B. Hunt carry much more, often with “umbrella” policies that reach $50 million or more. Accessing these millions of dollars requires a lawyer who understands how to “stack” policies from different liable parties.
Types of Damages You Can Recover in City of Howardwick
- Economic Damages: These are the calculable losses. It includes your hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, lost wages, and loss of future earning capacity. If you were a high-earner in City of Howardwick who can no longer work, this can be the largest part of your claim.
- Non-Economic Damages: This covers pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. How do you put a price on not being able to pick up your grandchildren or the chronic pain that keeps you awake at night? We know how to tell your story to a jury to maximize these awards.
- Punitive Damages: If we can prove the trucking company acted with “gross negligence” or “malice”—such as knowingly letting a driver with multiple drug violations get behind the wheel—a jury can award punitive damages to punish the company.
Juries are increasingly tired of trucking companies cutting corners. “Nuclear verdicts” over $10 million are becoming common because people understand that public safety is more important than corporate speed. Call (888) 288-9911 to discuss what your case could be worth.
City of Howardwick Truck Accident FAQ
1. How much does a City of Howardwick truck accident lawyer cost?
At Attorney911, we work on a contingency fee. You pay nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement we win for you. If we don’t recover money, you don’t owe us a dime for our time.
2. How long do I have to sue after a semi-truck crash in City of Howardwick?
Under Texas law, you generally have two years. However, you should call 888-ATTY-911 immediately. Evidence like black boxes and scene skid marks disappear within days or weeks.
3. What if I was partially at fault for the accident on US-287?
Texas is a modified comparative negligence state. As long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover a settlement. Your total compensation will just be reduced by your percentage of fault.
4. Can I sue a trucking company directly if their driver hit me in City of Howardwick?
Yes. Under the doctrine of “Respondeat Superior,” an employer is responsible for the negligent acts of their employees. We also look for direct negligence by the company, such as negligent hiring or failure to maintain brakes.
5. How much is the average settlement for an 18-wheeler accident?
There is no “average” because every injury is unique. However, because trucks carry millions in insurance, these cases often settle for six or seven figures. We have seen results ranging from $1.5M for brain injuries to $9.5M for wrongful death.
6. The insurance company offered me a check today. Should I take it?
Almost certainly NOT. Quick offers are lowball offers. They want you to sign away your rights before you know if you need surgery or have a long-term brain injury. Never sign anything without a free consultation from Ralph Manginello.
7. Who is responsible for an Amazon van crash in City of Howardwick?
Both the delivery company (DSP) and Amazon itself can be held liable. We look at the level of control Amazon has over the driver’s route and quotas to hold the corporate giant accountable.
8. What if the driver hit me while driving through City of Howardwick from a different state?
Since trucking is interstate commerce, we can often file in federal court. Our firm has admission to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, and Ralph Manginello is a dual-state licensed attorney in Texas and New York, giving us the power to follow the trucking company wherever they are based.
9. Can I get a settlement for emotional distress or PTSD?
Absolutely. Many survivors of truck accidents in City of Howardwick suffer from “vehophobia”—a debilitating fear of driving—and flashbacks. These are real, compensable non-economic damages.
10. Why should I hire Attorney911 instead of a big billboard lawyer?
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.” We take the tough cases and give you personal attention. At Attorney911, you aren’t a file number—you’re family.

The Physics of Fear: Why Howardwick Truck Wrecks are Different
When you’re driving through City of Howardwick, you’re usually going about your business—maybe heading to the lake or the post office. But when you get onto the highway, you’re sharing the road with 80,000-pound missiles. At Attorney911, we want our neighbors in City of Howardwick to understand the sheer force of these collisions.
When a semi-truck traveling at 65 mph hits your car, the force is nearly 80 times greater than if you were hit by another car. This isn’t just a traffic accident; it’s a high-energy physics event. The car’s crumple zones are designed for car-to-car impacts. When a truck impacts the cab of your car, it doesn’t just crumple; it frequently deforms the entire passenger compartment, leading to the “crush injuries” we discussed earlier.
Furthermore, most truck accidents on Donley County stretches of US-287 involve “closing speeds.” If you’re traveling at 65 mph and the truck is going 70 mph the other way, and they cross the center line, the impact force is combined at 135 mph. This is why head-on collisions with 18-wheelers near City of Howardwick are almost universally fatal.
If you have survived such an event, you are a miracle—but a miracle with medical bills. Our job is to bridge the gap between that devastating impact and your financial survival. Ralph Manginello has spent 25 years studying the mechanics of these crashes to explain them to a jury. We make sure they understand that this wasn’t just a “bump”—it was a violent, life-shattering event.
Call 888-ATTY-911 today. We know the physics, we know the law, and we know how to make City of Howardwick safer by holding negligent trucking companies accountable.
Protecting Vulnerable Road Users in Howardwick
Trucking accidents don’t always involve two vehicles. In our rural communities around City of Howardwick, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists are even more vulnerable to commercial vehicle negligence.
Motorcyclists: If you were hit by a truck while riding your motorcycle near City of Howardwick, don’t let the insurance company blame you for “being on a bike.” Truckers have a duty to check their “No-Zones” and share the road. Motorcyclists face the highest fatality rates in truck accidents because there is zero protection.
Pedestrians and Cyclists: Turning trucks are the leading cause of death for pedestrians and cyclists. In Howardwick or nearby Clarendon, a truck making a “wide right turn” can swing left and then cut back to the right, trapping a cyclist or pedestrian who had the right of way. Under 49 CFR § 392.2, trucks must obey all local traffic laws. If they didn’t see you, it’s because they weren’t looking.
Rideshare Passengers: If you were in a Lyft or Uber that was hit by a truck in City of Howardwick, you may have claims against multiple insurance policies, including the truck’s $1M+ policy and the rideshare company’s corporate coverage.
No matter how you were using the road, if a truck hit you, we are here to help. Ralph Manginello and his team provide the aggressive advocacy you need. Call 1-888-ATTY-911.
