City of Keller Truck Accident & Commercial Vehicle Attorneys

The 80,000-Pound Reality: Fighting for Justice in City of Keller

For those of us living and working in City of Keller, we see the reality of modern logistics every day. Whether it is the constant flow of 18-wheelers along US-377 (Main Street), the heavy construction trucks building out our northern Tarrant County suburbs, or the endless stream of Amazon and FedEx delivery vans navigating the residential streets of neighborhoods like Marshall Ridge or Hidden Lakes, City of Keller is at the heart of one of the busiest trucking corridors in the world.

When an 80,000-pound commercial vehicle collides with your 4,000-pound passenger car on Keller Parkway, the physics are unforgiving. It isn’t a fair fight. These collisions are often catastrophic, life-altering, and, unfortunately, entirely preventable. If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident in City of Keller, you are suddenly facing a legal emergency.

At Attorney911, led by our managing partner Ralph Manginello, we have spent over 25 years holding trucking companies, corporate fleet operators, and negligent drivers accountable. We don’t just handle car wrecks; we are specialized trucking litigation attorneys who understand the federal regulations, the electronic data, and the aggressive defense tactics used by multi-billion dollar corporations. With more than $50 million recovered for our clients, we bring the firepower of a large firm with the personal attention of a local advocate.

As City of Keller client Chad Harris once said about our firm, “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” When you’re dealing with mounting medical bills, lost wages, and the physical trauma of a major wreck, you need that kind of support. You need a team that includes attorneys like Lupe Peña, who previously worked for national insurance defense firms. He knows their playbook because he helped write it—and now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for you.

If you have been hit by a truck in City of Keller, call us 24/7 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, no-obligation consultation. The clock is already ticking on the evidence in your case.

Why You Need an Attorney Who Specializes in City of Keller Trucking Accidents

Many people assume a truck accident is just a “big car accident.” This is a mistake that can cost you millions of dollars in recovery. Trucking cases in City of Keller are governed by a complex web of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations (49 CFR Parts 390-399) and state-specific Texas laws.

The Corporate Defense Shield

The moment a crash occurs involving a Walmart truck near the City of Keller city limits or an Amazon DSP van in a local cul-de-sac, that corporation’s rapid-response team is activated. They often have investigators and lawyers on the scene before the ambulance even reaches the hospital. Their goal is simple: control the narrative, preserve only the evidence that helps them, and minimize your payout.

Federal Regulatory Expertise

To win a City of Keller truck accident case, your lawyer must know how to identify violations of 49 CFR Part 395 (Hours of Service) or Part 391 (Driver Qualification). Did the driver have a valid CDL? Had they been on the road for 16 hours straight? Was the truck’s braking system maintained according to Part 396? At Attorney911, we dig into the Driver Qualification Files and maintenance logs to prove that the company prioritized profit over City of Keller road safety.

The Power of Electronic Data

Modern 18-wheelers are data-rich. Between the Engine Control Module (ECM) “black box” and Electronic Logging Devices (ELD), there is a digital footprint of the seconds leading up to the impact. However, this data can be overwritten in as little as 30 days. We send immediate spoliation letters to trucking companies across City of Keller to ensure this data is locked down for your case.

City of Keller’s Trucking Landscape: A Hub of Risk

City of Keller is uniquely positioned in Tarrant County. We are just miles from the Alliance Global Logistics Hub, which serves as a massive distribution node for Amazon, FedEx, and dozens of other Fortune 500 carriers. This proximity means that our local roads—FM 1709, US-377, and the North Tarrant Express—are flooded with commercial traffic 24 hours a day.

High-Risk Corridors in City of Keller

• US-377 (Main Street): As one of the primary north-south arteries through City of Keller, this road sees a mix of heavy freight and local residential traffic. The frequent intersections and stop-and-go nature of 377 are prime locations for rear-end collisions and wide-turn accidents.
• Keller Parkway (FM 1709): This is our city’s commercial heart. The high volume of shoppers mixing with delivery box trucks and commercial service vehicles creates a constant risk of lane-change and “blind spot” accidents.
• Golden Triangle Boulevard: With the expansion of logistics facilities to our west, Golden Triangle has become a major thoroughfare for heavy haulers and gravel trucks, which are frequently involved in rollover and tire blowout incidents.

In a city that prides itself on family values and school safety, the presence of these massive vehicles near Keller ISD schools and parks is a constant concern. When a distracted truck driver enters a City of Keller school zone, the potential for tragedy is immense. We are dedicated to ensuring that when these companies endanger our community, they pay for the consequences.

Common Truck Accident Types in City of Keller

The mechanics of a truck wreck are vastly different from a passenger vehicle crash. Our team has 25+ years of experience investigating the specific physics of these different accident types in and around City of Keller.

1. Rear-End Collisions and Stopping Distance

The most common truck accident in City of Keller is the rear-end collision. A fully loaded semi-truck at 65 mph needs roughly 525 feet—nearly two football fields—to come to a complete stop. When traffic slows unexpectedly on a road like US-377, a fatigued or distracted driver has no chance of avoiding a car in front of them. The results are often underride collisions, where your car is pushed beneath the trailer, causing catastrophic head and neck injuries.

2. The “Squeeze Play” Wide Turn Accident

Truckers in City of Keller often have to navigate tight turns at intersections like Keller Smithfield and FM 1709. To make a right turn, a driver may swing wide to the left. If they fail to check their mirrors or signal properly, a smaller vehicle can be “squeezed” between the truck and the curb. This is a violation of basic commercial driving standards and often indicates a lack of proper training by the trucking company.

3. Blind Spot (No-Zone) Accidents

Commercial trucks have four massive blind spots: directly in front of the cab, directly behind the trailer, and along both sides. “I didn’t see them” is never a valid excuse. Under FMCSA regulations, it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure their lane is clear. We use dashcam footage and witness statements to prove that City of Keller drivers were hit because a trucker failed to clear their No-Zone.

4. Jackknife and Rollover Wrecks

Often caused by improper braking on a rain-slicked Keller road or taking a curve near the bear creek area too fast, jackknifes occur when the trailer swings out to a 90-degree angle. This effectively creates a wall of steel across multiple lanes of traffic. With Keller’s unpredictable Texas weather, these accidents are a constant threat.

5. Tire Blowouts and Brake Failure

Negligent maintenance is a leading cause of truck wrecks in Tarrant County. If a trucking company skips inspections to keep a truck on the road for one more delivery, they are liable for the resulting disaster. We subpoena maintenance records to see if the brakes were worn beyond the legal limit defined in 49 CFR Part 393.

Specialized Commercial Vehicle Coverage: Beyond the 18-Wheeler

While most people think of big rigs, “truck accidents” in City of Keller include a wide variety of commercial vehicles. At Attorney911, we handle the full spectrum.

City of Keller Delivery Van and Box Truck Accidents

With the rise of e-commerce, Amazon Prime and FedEx Ground vans are on every street in City of Keller. These drivers are often under extreme pressure to meet delivery quotas, leading to reckless speeding and distracted driving. Because Amazon uses “Independent Service Providers,” they will try to claim they aren’t responsible for the crash. We know how to pierce that corporate shield and hold the billion-dollar parent company liable.

Dump Trucks and Concrete Mixers

As City of Keller and the surrounding North Fort Worth areas continue to grow, construction traffic is everywhere. A loaded concrete mixer can weigh over 70,000 pounds and has a high center of gravity, making rollovers on Keller Parkway’s construction zones incredibly common. These cases often involve complex liability between general contractors and subcontractors.

Rental and Moving Truck Wrecks (U-Haul/Penske)

What many City of Keller residents don’t realize is that someone can rent a massive 26-foot U-Haul with zero commercial training. When an untrained driver attempts to navigate a large truck through a residential Keller neighborhood and strikes a pedestrian or another car, the rental company may be liable for negligent entrustment or maintenance.

City of Keller Public Transit and School Bus Accidents

Whether it’s a Tarrant County transit bus or a Keller ISD school bus, accidents involving these vehicles require a lawyer who understands sovereign immunity and the specific notice requirements for suing a government entity. You often have a much shorter window to file a claim against a city or school district.

Determining Liability in a City of Keller Truck Accident

Who is responsible for your medical bills and pain? Most firms just look at the driver. At Attorney911, we look at the entire chain of command. In City of Keller, we have identified as many as a dozen liable parties in a single crash.

• The Truck Driver: For direct negligence like speeding, fatigue, or impairment.
• The Trucking Company (Carrier): For negligent hiring, failing to drug test, or pressuring the driver to skip rest breaks.
• The Cargo Loader: If shifting cargo caused a rollover or a spill on a City of Keller highway, the company that loaded the trailer is responsible.
• The Maintenance Provider: If a third-party mechanic in Tarrant County failed to properly adjust the brakes, they are in the crosshairs.
• The Freight Broker: Brokers have a duty to hire safe carriers. If they brokered a load to a “chameleon carrier” with a history of City of Keller violations, they are liable.
• The Corporate Parent: If the vehicle was an Amazon van or a Walmart truck, the multi-billion dollar parent company is often the primary target for recovery.

We use the “Insurance Defense Advantage” of our team. Lupe Peña knows how these companies try to hide behind independent contractor agreements. We have gone toe-to-toe with the world’s largest corporations, including BP during the refinery explosion litigation, and we know how to make them pay.

Federal Regulations (49 CFR) and Proving Negligence

In City of Keller, every commercial vehicle crash investigation starts with the “Trucker’s Bible”—the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. If we can prove a violation of these rules, we can often establish “negligence per se,” making it much harder for the insurance company to deny your claim.

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS)

Fatigue is a silent killer. Federal law generally limits drivers to 11 hours of driving in a 14-hour window, followed by 10 hours of rest. In the pressure-cooker world of Alliance-area logistics, these rules are frequently ignored. We pull the ELD logs to see if a driver was “on the clock” illegally when they hit you in City of Keller.

49 CFR Part 382: Drug and Alcohol Testing

Commercial drivers are held to a much higher standard. A BAC of 0.04 is considered legally impaired for a truck driver. We demand the results of the mandatory post-accident drug and alcohol tests. If a driver was under the influence on Keller roads, we will pursue punitive damages to punish the company’s recklessness.

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification

Did the driver pass their medical exam? Did they have a history of reckless driving in Tarrant County that the company ignored? If a company puts an unqualified driver on our City of Keller roads, that is a direct violation of federal law and proof of corporate negligence.

49 CFR Part 393: Parts and Accessories

This part regulates everything from lighting and reflectors to the strength of the underride guards. If a truck was “invisible” on a dark Keller night because of non-functioning clearance lights, that carrier has violated Part 393.

Catastrophic Injuries and the Cost of Survival

Truck accidents in City of Keller rarely result in just “scrapes and bruises.” The weight of these vehicles causes injuries that are permanent, devastating, and expensive.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

The violent jarring of a truck impact can cause the brain to strike the inside of the skull. This results in cognitive deficits, personality changes, and a lifetime of specialized care. Our firm has secured settlements ranging from $1.5 million to over $9.8 million for TBI victims.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

When a truck crushes a sedan on US-377, the roof often collapses. This leads to vertebrae fractures and spinal cord severance. Paraplegia and quadriplegia cases require millions of dollars for home modifications, 24/7 nursing care, and specialized medical equipment. We’ve seen these settlements reach $25 million+.

Amputations and Crush Injuries

Whether a limb is lost at the scene or must be surgically removed due to severe trauma, an amputation is a life-altering event. The cost of prosthetics alone over a victim’s lifetime can exceed a million dollars.

Wrongful Death

If the worst has happened and you have lost a family member in a City of Keller truck wreck, we offer our deepest condolences. Under Texas law, you may be entitled to recover for lost future income, loss of companionship, and mental anguish. We have recovered millions for City of Keller families in wrongful death cases, ensuring their financial future is secure even after an unthinkable loss.

Damages: What Is Your City of Keller Case Worth?

We often get asked, “What is my settlement going to be?” Every case is unique, but because commercial trucks carry $750,000 to $5,000,000 in insurance minimums, the potential for full recovery is much higher than in a standard auto accident.

Economic Damages (The Calculable Costs)

• Medical Bills: We fight for every dollar of your past ER visits, surgeries at local Tarrant County hospitals, and your projected future medical care.
• Lost Income: If you can no longer work your job in City of Keller, we calculate your lost wages and your diminished earning capacity over the rest of your life.
• Property Damage: Full replacement value for your vehicle.

Non-Economic Damages (The Human Cost)

• Pain and Suffering: The physical agony of your injuries.
• Mental Anguish: The PTSD and anxiety that often follow a catastrophic wreck.
• Loss of Quality of Life: As Chad Harris said, you are part of the family at our firm. We understand that your life has been stolen from you, and we fight for compensation for the activities you can no longer enjoy.

4.9 Stars: City of Keller Trust and Proven Results

When you choose a lawyer, you should look at their track record—not their billboards. Ralph Manginello has been a practicing attorney since 1998 and is admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas. This federal experience is critical because many City of Keller trucking cases are heard in federal court due to the interstate nature of the business.

Our client reviews speak for themselves.

• Donald Wilcox told us, “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.”
• Glenda Walker noted, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”
• Angel Walle shared, “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.”

We are currently litigating a $10 million lawsuit against a major university, demonstrating that we have the resources to handle the “Big Dogs.” Whether we are going toe-to-toe with Amazon or an oilfield trucking fleet, we do not back down.

FAQs: Your Questions About City of Keller Truck Accidents

1. How long do I have to file a claim in City of Keller?

In Texas, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, in trucking cases, you should not wait. Evidence like the “black box” data and ELD logs can be destroyed legally by the company if you haven’t sent a preservation demand.

2. What if I was partially at fault for the crash?

Texas follows “Modified Comparative Fault.” As long as you are [50% or less] at fault, you can still recover damages. Your total award will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. Never admit fault at the scene—let our investigators look at the data first.

3. Can I sue Amazon if their delivery van hit me in City of Keller?

Yes. Although Amazon uses third-party DSP contractors to avoid liability, we use the “Right to Control” test to prove that Amazon’s pervasive monitoring and scheduling make them responsible for the driver’s actions.

4. What is the “Insurance Defense Advantage”?

Our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years working for the very companies we now sue. He knows how they evaluate claims, how they hide assets, and how they train their adjusters to lowball you. We use that inside knowledge to maximize your settlement.

5. Why do I need a “Spoliation Letter”?

A spoliation letter is a legal mandate to the trucking company to save all evidence. Without it, the company can legally delete the driver’s phone records, the truck’s GPS data, and the black box recordings after a few weeks. We send these within 24 hours of being hired.

Detailed Investigation: The Evidence We Uncover in City of Keller

When we take on a case in City of Keller, we launch an immediate, comprehensive investigation. We don’t rely on the police report alone. We build our own case from the ground up.

Subpoenaing the Driver Qualification File (DQF)

Under 49 CFR Part 391, the trucking company must maintain a DQF for every driver. We look for:

• Annual reviews of the driver’s record.
• Violations of City of Keller traffic laws or Tarrant County citations.
• Negative results from previous employer inquiries.
• Medical certifications that might have expired or been obtained fraudulently.

Analyzing the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Data

Since December 2017, almost all interstate trucks must use ELDs. This data is the “truth-teller.” It shows us if the driver was speeding through City of Keller to make up for a delay at a warehouse. It shows us if the driver falsified their digital logs to appear rested when they had actually been awake for 20 hours.

Accident Reconstruction Experts

We retain the top forensic engineers in the country to analyze the City of Keller crash scene. They look at crush patterns, energy dissipation, and friction coefficients of Keller roads to prove the exact speed and angle of impact. This evidence is undeniable in a courtroom.

Dashcam and Netradyne Surveillance

Many modern fleets, especially those serving Amazon and Walmart in the City of Keller area, use AI-powered cameras like Netradyne. These cameras don’t just look at the road; they look at the driver. They track eye movement to detect fatigue and distraction. When we subpoena this footage, we often find the “smoking gun”—video proof of a driver looking at their phone or dozing off seconds before the impact.

Liable Parties in Corporate Delivery Accidents

If you are hit by a branded delivery vehicle in City of Keller, the liability structure is often a “shell game.” Here is how we win these cases:

Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Liability

Amazon’s blue vans are ubiquitous in City of Keller. Amazon claims the drivers are employees of “independent” small businesses. However, Amazon provides the vans, the hardware, and the software. They set the routes and the delivery order. We argue that because Amazon exercises total control, they are the “de facto” employer under Texas law.

FedEx Ground “Independent Contractor” Defense

FedEx Ground carriers are often classified as independent contractors (ISPs). We dig into the contracts between FedEx and the ISP. If FedEx dictates the exact uniform, the exact logo placement, and the exact delivery window, we can often pierce that contractor shield and hold the parent corporation liable for the City of Keller victim’s damages.

Walmart’s Self-Insurance Advantage

Walmart Transportation is a direct employer. This means liability is often clear (respondeat superior). However, because Walmart is self-insured, they don’t have to answer to an insurance company. They can choose to spend as much as they want to fight your case. This is why you need Ralph Manginello—an attorney who isn’t intimidated by a $600 billion company’s legal department.

The Insurance Battle: Accessing the Millions You Deserve

In a regular City of Keller car accident, you might be fighting for a $30,000 policy. In a truck accident, we are fighting for millions.

• Primary Liability: The first $750,000 to $1,000,000 of coverage.
• Umbrella Policies: Extra layers of coverage that kick in for catastrophic injuries, often totaling $5 million to $20 million.
• MCS-90 Endorsements: A federal safety net that guarantees a victim can be compensated even if the trucking company’s insurance policy has a technical exclusion. This is a specialized area of law that most generalist attorneys don’t understand.

We handle the negotiation with these high-level adjusters. As client Kiimarii Yup said after their car was totaled by a commercial vehicle, “1 year later I have gained so much in return plus a brand new truck.” We don’t just settle for the first offer; we hold out for what is fair for City of Keller families.

Wrongful Death Claims in City of Keller

There is no trauma greater than losing a family member to a negligent trucker on a road you drive every day. In City of Keller, we help families navigate the legal complexities of wrongful death so they can focus on their grief.

Recoverable Damages in Texas Wrongful Death

• Loss of Earning Capacity: The financial support the deceased would have provided to the spouse and children.
• Loss of Inheritance: The assets the deceased would have accumulated over their lifetime.
• Loss of Services: The value of the support, care, and guidance provided by the parent or spouse.
• Mental Anguish and Emotional Pain: The deep suffering felt by the survivors.

Our firm has recovered multi-million dollar wrongful death settlements in trucking cases, ranging from $1.9 million to over $9.5 million. We treat these cases with the ultimate respect and sensitivity.

City of Keller Truck Accident FAQ (Continued)

6. Can I sue the company that loaded the truck?

Yes. Under 49 CFR Part 393, cargo must be secured to prevent shifting. If a load shifts during a turn on Golden Triangle Blvd and causes the truck to roll into your vehicle, the loading company is just as liable as the driver.

7. What happens if the trucking company is from another state?

This is very common in City of Keller. Because the truck was involved in interstate commerce, we can often file the case in federal court. Ralph Manginello’s admission to the Southern District of Texas and his 25+ years of experience are vital here.

8. Will I have to go to court?

The vast majority of our City of Keller cases settle out of court. However, the only reason they settle is that the trucking company knows we are prepared to go to trial. We build every case for a jury from day one, which gives us the ultimate leverage at the settlement table.

9. How do you prove the driver was fatigued?

We cross-reference the ELD data with the driver’s cell phone pings, fuel receipts, and toll road records. If the ELD says they were sleeping in City of Keller but they were actually buying a burger in Fort Worth, we have proof of logbook fraud, which can lead to punitive damages.

10. Does your firm handle accidents involving City of Keller dump trucks?

Absolutely. Dump truck accidents are unique because these vehicles are often significantly overweight. We pull the weigh station records and look at whether the company was hauling more than the legal structural limit of the truck, which causes brake and tire failure.

Conclusion: City of Keller Deserves Powerful Representation

When an 18-wheeler crashes into your life in City of Keller, the aftershocks are felt for years. You are not just dealing with physical pain; you are fighting a corporate machine designed to save money at your expense.

Understanding the Physics of a City of Keller Semi-Truck Collision

To effectively argue a case before a Tarrant County jury, we must translate the trauma into the language of physics. In City of Keller, where many residents are highly educated professionals, being able to explain the “why” behind the injuries is critical.

Kinetic Energy: The Silent Destroyer

In a crash between an 18-wheeler and a sedan on Keller Pkwy, the kinetic energy (KE = 1/2 mv²) is the deciding factor. Because the mass (m) of the truck is 20 times that of the car, even at low speeds, the energy dissipated into your vehicle’s frame is enough to warp steel and crush the passenger compartment. This energy doesn’t just damage the car; it travels through the seat and into your body, causing the internal organ damage and brain shearing (Coupe-Contrecoupe) common in these wrecks.

The Problem of Off-Tracking

When a semi-truck makes a turn in Downtown Keller, the rear wheels do not follow the same path as the front wheels. This is called “off-tracking.” A standard 53-foot trailer will “cut the corner” significantly. If a driver isn’t trained to account for this—or if they are rushing to beat a light on US-377—they will strike any vehicle or pedestrian sitting in the adjacent lane. We use geometric reconstruction to prove the truck driver violated the standard of care for turn execution.

City of Keller Pedestrian and Cyclist Accidents Involving Commercial Trucks

Truck accidents don’t always involve two vehicles. In a pedestrian-friendly city like Keller, where we have the Bear Creek Park trails and numerous walkable neighborhoods, the risk of a truck-vs-pedestrian accident is high.

Delivery Van Danger in Neighborhoods

Amazon and FedEx drivers are frequently making “last mile” deliveries in densely populated City of Keller neighborhoods. Children playing or residents walking dogs are at high risk. Because delivery vans have high hoods and massive side blind spots, these drivers often fail to see pedestrians when backing out of driveways or making quick turns.

The “Right Hook” Cyclist Accident

For the many cyclists in City of Keller using our bike lanes and shoulders, the “right hook” is the most lethal truck accident. As a truck turns right at an intersection like Whitley Rd and 1709, they may overtake a cyclist legally riding to their right. The cyclist is swept under the rear wheels of the trailer. These accidents are almost always fatal, and our firm fights to prove that the company should have equipped their truck with side-guards and blind-spot sensors.

Psychological Trauma: The Hidden Damage of City of Keller Wrecks

At Attorney911, we believe your mental health is just as important as your physical health. A catastrophic truck wreck on I-35W or 377 leaves deep psychological scars.

PTSD and Driving Anxiety

Many of our City of Keller clients suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. They experience flashbacks, nightmares about the crash, and an overwhelming fear of getting back behind the wheel. This “vehophobia” can prevent you from commuting to work, taking your kids to school, or living a normal life in Keller.

Mental Anguish is Compensable

Under Texas law, you can recover damages for mental anguish. We work with specialized psychologists to document the impact the crash has had on your mental wellbeing. Whether it’s the depression that follows a permanent disability or the anxiety that keeps you awake at night, we ensure the jury understands the full human cost of the trucking company’s negligence.

The Role of the FMCSA in Protecting City of Keller Families

The FMCSA isn’t just a government agency; it’s a safety shield. When a trucking company ignores these rules, they are intentionally endangering every person in City of Keller.

49 CFR Part 383: CDL Standards

Not all licenses are equal. Driving a tanker truck full of fuel through City of Keller requires a specialized “N” endorsement. Driving an 18-wheeler requires a Class A CDL. We check if the driver who hit you was actually licensed to handle the vehicle they were operating. If the trucking company allowed an un-endorsed driver to haul a dangerous load, that is egregious negligence.

49 CFR Part 392: Safe Operation

This part prohibits drivers from using any radar detector, prohibits driving while ill or fatigued, and requires drivers to obey all local City of Keller traffic laws. If a trucker was speeding on Keller Parkway, they weren’t just “in a hurry”—they were violating federal safety mandates.

49 CFR Part 390.13: Aiding or Abetting Violations

This is a critical rule for holding the company responsible. It states that no person shall “aid, abet, encourage, or require” a driver to violate the rules. If a dispatcher at an Alliance-area logistics hub told a driver to “keep going” despite being out of hours, that company has violated Part 390.13 and is directly responsible for any resulting crash in City of Keller.

How to Find the Best City of Keller Truck Accident Lawyer

You are being flooded with advertisements. How do you choose?

1. Look for Federal Admission: Does the lawyer have the right to practice in federal court? Ralph Manginello does. Trucking companies will try to “remove” your case to federal court to get a more conservative judge. You need a lawyer who is already at home there.
2. Ask About the Team: Many firms hand their cases to paralegals. At Attorney911, you get Ralph and Lupe. You get 25 years of experience and the “Insurance Defense Advantage.”
3. Verify the Results: Anyone can say they are “tough.” Look for the multi-million dollar recoveries. We have them.
4. Test the Communication: Call 1-888-ATTY-911. Did they answer? Were they helpful? At our firm, we pride ourselves on being 24/7 advocates for City of Keller.

Final Closing Statement for City of Keller Residents

City of Keller is a beautiful place to live, but our proximity to the North Texas logistics machine comes with a price. When you or a loved one pays that price in the form of a catastrophic truck accident, you deserve more than just a settlement. You deserve justice.
