Westworth Village Truck Accident & Commercial Vehicle Litigation Center

The impact was catastrophic. On a busy afternoon along Highway 183 in Westworth Village, 80,000 pounds of steel slammed into your sedan. In an instant, your car was unrecognizable, and your life was changed forever. Whether you were struck by a long-haul 18-wheeler, a massive dump truck heading to a local construction site, or a speeding Amazon delivery van near the Westworth Village retail centers, you aren’t just facing a typical traffic accident. You’re in a legal emergency.

At Attorney911, we understand that a truck accident in Westworth Village is a high-stakes battle against some of the most powerful corporations in the world. Since 1998, Ralph Manginello has been the fighter that Tarrant County families turn to when disaster strikes. With over 25 years of courtroom experience and admission to federal court, our managing partner has made a career out of forcing trucking companies to pay for the lives they’ve upended. We don’t just “handle” cases; we hunt for the evidence that trucking companies try to bury and we demand every dime our clients deserve.

As client Chad Harris said, “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” When you call us at 1-888-ATTY-911, you’re getting more than just a lawyer. You’re getting a team that includes a former insurance defense attorney. Lupe Peña used to work for the big insurance companies—he knows their playbook, he knows how they value claims, and he knows exactly how they try to minimize your suffering. Today, he uses that “insider” knowledge to fight for you.

Why Westworth Village Truck Accidents Require Immediate Legal Action

Westworth Village is a unique hub in Tarrant County. We sit at the crossroads of Highway 183 (Alta Mere Drive) and Roaring Springs Road, directly adjacent to the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth. This means our local roads are constantly shared with heavy military transport, retail delivery fleets serving the massive Sam’s Club and Lowe’s centers on Alta Mere, and regional freight vehicles moving between Eastchase and the North Tarrant Express.

When a truck accident happens on the Burton Hill Road overpass or near the Hawkes Creek residential area, the trucking company is already moving. Before the Westworth Village police even finish their report, the corporate defendant has likely deployed a rapid-response team to the scene. Their goal is simple: control the narrative, minimize their liability, and preserve only what benefits them.

The 48-Hour Evidence Rule
You must act now. In the world of commercial trucking, evidence has an expiration date. Black box data—the Engine Control Module (ECM)—can be overwritten in as little as 30 days or even sooner if the truck is put back into service. Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data, which proves how long a driver has been behind the wheel, is only required to be kept for six months by federal law.

Wait too long, and the proof of the driver’s fatigue or the carrier’s mechanical neglect will simply “disappear.” We send formal spoliation letters within 24 to 48 hours of being hired to legally lock down this data. If you’ve been hit by an 18-wheeler near the Westworth Village shopping corridor, call us at 888-ATTY-911 immediately.

Proving Negligence through FMCSA Federal Regulations

Every commercial vehicle operating in Westworth Village must follow the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). These aren’t just suggestions; they are federal laws established under 49 CFR Parts 390-399. When a trucking company violates these rules, they are negligent. Our deep dive into every case looks at these critical violations:

Hours of Service (HOS) — 49 CFR Part 395

Fatigue is a leading killer in Tarrant County trucking wrecks. Federal law is strict:

11-Hour Driving Limit: Drivers cannot exceed 11 hours of driving after 10 consecutive hours off duty.
14-Hour On-Duty Window: A driver cannot drive beyond the 14th hour after coming on duty.
60/70-Hour Weekly Limit: Carriers cannot permit drivers to be on the road after 60/70 hours of duty in 7/8 consecutive days.

When a driver is rushing to meet a delivery deadline at the Westworth Village Target or Sam’s Club, they often falsify these logs. We subpoena the ELD data and cross-reference it with GPS pings, dispatch records, and fuel receipts to prove they were driving illegally.

Driver Qualifications — 49 CFR Part 391

The trucking company has a duty to ensure their drivers are safe. Under Part 391, they must maintain a Driver Qualification File for every operator. This file must include their motor vehicle record (MVR), medical examiner’s certificate, and road test certification. If a carrier hired a driver with a history of DUIs or reckless driving to navigate the tight turns of Roaring Springs Road, that is negligent hiring.

Equipment Maintenance — 49 CFR Part 393 and 396

An 80,000-pound truck is only as safe as its brakes. Part 396 requires systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance. If the brakes failed on a concrete mixer truck as it descended a grade in Westworth Village, we look for evidence that the pre-trip inspection required under 49 CFR § 396.13 was ignored.

Types of Commercial Vehicle Accidents we Handle in Westworth Village

Commercial vehicle accidents aren’t limited to traditional semi-trucks. Any weight mismatch on highways like I-30 or State Highway 183 creates a catastrophic risk for local families.

18-Wheeler & Semi-Truck Collisions

The sheer physics of a semi-truck vs. a passenger car is terrifying. A fully loaded 18-wheeler at highway speed requires 525 feet to stop—the length of nearly two football fields. When these drivers are distracted by their dispatch devices or cell phones, simple lane changes become deadly blind-spot collisions. Whether it’s a jackknife on a rain-slicked Alta Mere overpass or a rear-end collision on I-35W, the results are life-altering.

Amazon, Walmart, FedEx, and UPS Fleet Accidents

Westworth Village is surrounded by corporate fulfillment hubs. Amazon delivery vans are constant sights in our neighborhoods. Many of these companies use a “Delivery Service Partner” (DSP) model to try and distance themselves from liability. They claim the driver is an “independent contractor.” We know better.

Amazon, for instance, monitors every driver via Netradyne in-cab cameras and strict algorithmic quotas. If Amazon controls the route, the speed, and the delivery window, they are the employer. We have litigated against corporate giants like Walmart, Amazon, and Coca-Cola, and we know how to pierce the corporate shield to access the multi-million dollar insurance policies they are trying to protect.

Dump Trucks and Construction Vehicles

As Westworth Village and the surrounding Fort Worth area continue to grow, construction traffic is everywhere. A loaded dump truck or concrete mixer can weigh over 60,000 pounds. These vehicles are prone to rollovers because of their high center of gravity and are often operated by smaller contractors who cut corners on maintenance. If a gravel truck spilled its load on HWY 183 because of a faulty tailgate, striking your car, the construction company and the hauling fleet are liable.

Garbage Trucks and Utility Vehicles

Residential streets in Westworth Village are shared with garbage trucks and utility bucket trucks. These vehicles have massive blind spots and operate frequently in the “backup” mode. We represent pedestrians and cyclists struck by these vehicles near Hawkes Creek or Fairways of Westworth Village.

Liable Parties: Why More Defendants Mean Maximum Compensation

One of the biggest mistakes a general practice lawyer makes is only suing the truck driver. At Attorney911, we know that to recover the millions of dollars needed for a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord case, we must cast a wide net.

Potentially Liable Parties in your Westworth Village case include:

The Truck Driver: For direct negligence like speeding or impairment.
The Trucking Company (Carrier): Liable for their employees and for negligent hiring and supervision.
The Corporate Parent (Brand Owner): Companies like Walmart or Amazon who control the delivery logistics.
The Cargo Owner/Loader: If improperly secured cargo shifted, causing a rollover.
The Maintenance Company: If a third-party shop failed to fix the brakes or tires properly.
The Parts Manufacturer: If a tire blowout was caused by a manufacturing defect.
The Freight Broker: For hiring a carrier with a known “Unsatisfactory” safety rating.
Government Entities: If poor road design or unmaintained signals contributed to the crash.

By identifying all 16 potentially liable categories, we “stack” insurance policies. Where a driver might only have minimal coverage, the broker, the loader, and the corporate parent often have umbrella policies exceeding $25 million.

Catastrophic Injuries and the Cost of Recovery

When 80,000 pounds of steel hits your family’s vehicle, the injuries are never “minor.” Our firm has a documented history of securing multi-million dollar settlements for victims of catastrophic trauma.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Our recoveries for TBI victims range from $1.5M to $9.8M+. These injuries involve cognitive impairment, personality changes, and the need for lifelong care. Learn more in our video: “The Ultimate Guide to Brain Injury Lawsuits” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBYAHi5aiEQ.
Spinal Cord Injuries: Paralysis cases are among the most expensive to treat. Settlements in this category often range from $4.7M to $25.8M.
Amputations: We secured $3.8M for a client who lost a limb in a crash because we proved the full chain of causation.
Wrongful Death: If you’ve lost a spouse or child in a Westworth Village truck accident, your recovery should reflect their lost income, the loss of companionship, and the mental anguish your family is suffering. Settlements typically range from $1.9M to $9.5M.

We also represent those suffering from “non-catastrophic” but life-altering injuries like herniated discs, broken bones requiring hardware surgery, and severe whiplash. As client Glenda Walker said, “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” We treat a herniated disc case with the same aggressive energy as a multi-million dollar case because we know that chronic pain is just as destructive to your quality of life.

The Insurance Defense Advantage: Our Insider Knowledge

Large trucking insurers like Progressive Commercial or Great American have one goal: pay you nothing. They use sophisticated algorithms like “Colossus” to undervalue your pain and suffering.

This is where the Attorney911 advantage becomes unfair. Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, spent years working inside a national insurance defense firm. He sat in the meetings where they discussed how to lowball victims. He helped write the playbooks they use to deny claims. Today, he uses those secrets to expose their tactics for you. He knows when an adjuster is lying about policy limits and he knows when we have enough leverage to force a massive settlement.

What Damages Can You Recover Under Texas Law?

In Westworth Village, your recovery shouldn’t just cover your current bills. We pursue “Total Compensation,” which includes:

Economic Damages:

Emergency room visits and ICU stays.
Future surgeries (spinal fusion, hardware removal).
Lost wages and, more importantly, the loss of future earning capacity.
Prosthetics and medical equipment for a lifetime.
A “Life Care Plan” for 24/7 home nursing if required.

Non-Economic Damages:

Pain and Suffering: The stabbing, chronic pain you feel every morning.
Mental Anguish: The flashbacks of the semi-truck approaching in your rearview mirror.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: The things you can no longer do, like coaching your kid’s team or enjoying a walk through the Westworth Village trails.
PTSD: A compensable injury that many victims overlook. See our video: “Can I Get a PTSD Payout After a Car Accident?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9803X_jnR4A.

Frequently Asked Questions for Westworth Village Residents

What is the statute of limitations for a truck accident in Westworth Village?
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, for a commercial truck wreck, the “practical” statute of limitations is often 48 hours. If you wait months to hire a lawyer, the evidence we need to win will be gone.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident on HWY 183?
Texas follows a “Modified Comparative Negligence” rule (51% bar). As long as you are less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages. Your total award will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 20% at fault and the trucker is 80%, you still receive 80% of your total damages.

How much does it cost to hire Attorney911?
Zero. We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we advance all the high costs of expert witnesses and litigation. We only get paid if we win your case. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing.

Can I sue if my accident involved a delivery van from the Westworth Village Sam’s Club or Lowe’s?
Yes. These are considered commercial vehicle accidents. Retailers often subcontract their deliveries to third-party fleets. We investigate the contract to see how much control the retail giant had over the driver’s schedule and safety protocols.

What is “Black Box” data?
Virtually every truck manufactured in the last 20 years has an Electronic Control Module. It records your speed at impact, whether the driver hit the brakes (and when), and even the throttle position. If the driver says they were going the speed limit on State Highway 183 but the black box says they were doing 75 mph, the case is over. That data is our most powerful weapon.

Your Fight Starts With One Call: 1-888-ATTY-911

As client Donald Wilcox put it: “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.”

Commercial Vehicle & 18-Wheeler Litigation Mastery in Westworth Village

The roads surrounding the City of Westworth Village are some of the busiest commercial corridors in North Texas. When an 18-wheeler, a cement mixer, or a corporate delivery van causes an accident on State Highway 183, the legal complexities are overwhelming. At Attorney911, led by Ralph Manginello, we specialize in cutting through the corporate red tape to secure justice for the injured.

The Physics of a Westworth Village Truck Wreck

A typical car in Westworth Village weighs about 4,000 pounds. The commercial trucks entering the retail zones along Alta Mere Drive weigh up to 80,000 pounds. That is a 20-to-1 weight disparity. In collision physics, the smaller object absorbs nearly all the kinetic energy. This is why truck accidents result in “catastrophic collisions” rather than simple fender benders.

When an 18-wheeler is traveling at 65 mph, it carries 80 times the kinetic energy of a car at the same speed. If you were hit by a truck near the NAS Joint Reserve Base, the impact force wasn’t just a crash—it was an explosion of force that your body was never meant to handle. This reality is why the settlements and verdicts in these cases are so high; the damage to human life is complete.

Corporate Defendant Strategy: Piercing the Independent Contractor Defense

If an Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) van or a FedEx Ground contractor hits your car in a Westworth Village neighborhood, the parent company will immediately try to evade responsibility. They will point to a contract and say, “That’s not our driver. They work for a separate LLC.”

We have seen this tactic hundreds of times. At Attorney911, we use three primary legal tests to defeat the “independent contractor” defense:

The Right-to-Control Test: Does Amazon control the route? Yes. Do they set the delivery sequence? Yes. Do they monitor the cabin with Netradyne cameras? Yes. If they control the manner and method of the work, the law sees an employer, not a contractor.
The Economic Reality Test: Does the small DSP company have any other customers? Usually no. Are they entirely dependent on the corporate giant for their existence? Yes. This makes them an agent of the corporation.
Negligent Selection/Retention: Even if they were “contractors,” if the corporate parent knew the carrier had a history of HOS violations or failed inspections and hired them anyway, the parent company is liable for their own negligence.

We’ve gone toe-to-toe with the world’s largest corporations, including BP during the Texas City refinery litigation. We are not intimidated by their army of lawyers. Ralph Manginello’s 25 years of experience means we know how to find the cracks in their corporate structure to secure a multi-million dollar recovery for you.

FMCSA Regulations: Your Proof of Negligence

In every truck accident near the Westworth Village Hawks Creek area, we meticulously audit the driver and carrier for violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.

49 CFR Part 382: Drug & Alcohol Testing

Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard. They cannot have a BAC over .04 while on duty (half the legal limit for cars). They must also undergo random drug testing. If a driver was under the influence of prescription amphetamines to stay awake for a late-night run through Tarrant County, the trucking company is liable for failing to maintain a drug-free fleet.

49 CFR Part 393: Parts and Accessories

This part regulates everything from lighting to tires to brakes.

Brakes: If an 18-wheeler rear-ends you on I-35W, we analyze the pushrod travel on the air brakes. If they were out of adjustment, the truck was legally “out of service” and should never have been on the road.
Tires: Retread tires (re-caps) are common on trailers but dangerous. If a “road gator” tire fragment hit your windshield on Highway 183 causing you to swerve, the carrier may be liable for using faulty equipment. Learn more: “Truck Tire Blowouts and When You Need a Lawyer” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTumr1looc.

49 CFR Part 392: Safe Operation

This covers the driver’s conduct. It prohibits mobile phone use (§ 392.82) and driving during “illness or fatigue” (§ 392.3). If a driver was texting their dispatcher while merging near the Westworth Village Lowe’s, their violation of Part 392 is “negligence per se.”

Detailed Liability Mapping for Westworth Village Cases

A truck accident is a web of liability. Most firms stop at the driver. We keep digging.

The Freight Broker: If a broker hired a “one-truck” carrier with a history of safety violations just to save $200 on a load, that broker is liable for your injuries.
The Loading Facility: If a warehouse in Fort Worth overloaded the rear axle of an 18-wheeler, the truck becomes unstable during braking. The loading company shares the blame for the resulting jackknife.
Maintenance Shops: If a third-party mechanic in Tarrant County certified a truck as safe when it had worn brake linings, that shop is a defendant.

More defendants means more sources of insurance. In a case where a victim suffers a Permanent Spinal Cord Injury, a single $1 million policy won’t cover a lifetime of care. We hunt for the $10M and $50M umbrella policies held by the shippers, the brokers, and the brand owners.

Catastrophic Injuries: A Lifetime of Costs

A Westworth Village 18-wheeler accident often leaves victims with “invisible” injuries like a Traumatic Brain Injury. After a crash, you might feel fine, but a headache can be the sign of a slow brain bleed. As we ask in our video: “Is a Headache Normal After a Car Accident?” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EF82H16eCo).

Severe TBI: Often requires cognitive therapy that can cost hundreds of thousands per year.
Amputation: Beyond the surgery, a prosthetic limb must be replaced every 3-5 years. Our firm considers the lifetime cost, including phantom limb pain and bone degradation.
Burn Injuries: If a fuel tank ruptured in a collision on Roaring Springs Road, the victim may need dozens of skin graft surgeries over decades.

How Insurance Companies Minimize Your Claim

Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, worked for insurance defense. He knows how they use your medical records against you.

The “Pre-Existing” Defense: They will find an X-ray from ten years ago and claim your herniated disc was “degenerative.” We use the Texas “Eggshell Plaintiff” rule: they must take you as they find you. If you were functional before the crash and now you are in surgery, the trucker caused the injury.
Recorded Statements: They will call you while you are on pain medication in the hospital. One wrong word (“I’m doing okay”) can destroy your case. Never talk to them. Call us at 1-888-ATTY-911 first.

The Comprehensive Westworth Village Guide to Truck & Delivery Van Accidents

The City of Westworth Village is a diamond in the heart of Tarrant County, but it is a diamond surrounded by 18-wheelers. With the heavy foot traffic of the Westworth Village shopping centers and the constant flow of military freight from NAS JRB Fort Worth, the risk of a commercial vehicle collision is a daily reality.

If you or someone you love has been injured, you aren’t looking for a lawyer—you’re looking for a result. At Attorney911, our results speak for themselves. From multi-million dollar brain injury settlements to industrial disaster litigation against the largest oil companies in the world, Ralph Manginello has spent 25 years winning the big fights.

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Checklist

The moment you hire us, we move with military precision to protect your case. If your accident happened on Alta Mere Drive or near the Westworth Village City Hall, we immediately secure:

ECM (Black Box) Data: We demand the engine computer be preserved before it’s erased.
ELD Logs: We pull the electronic logs for the 6 months prior to the crash to look for “fatigued driving” patterns.
In-Cab Video: Many Amazon and Walmart trucks have “DriveCam” systems. We demand the footage before the company deletes the 7-day loop.
Dispatch Records: Did the dispatcher pressure the driver to speed through Westworth Village to make a delivery window?
Driver Qualification File (DQF): Did the driver have a valid CDL and a current medical certificate?
Police Reports: We help you obtain and correct the Westworth Village police crash report if it contains inaccuracies.

Identifying Every Type of Truck Involved in Local Accidents

While 18-wheelers get the most attention, Westworth Village sees a wide variety of dangerous commercial vehicles.

Dump Trucks & Gravel Haulers

With constant development in Fort Worth, dump trucks are everywhere. These vehicles often operate “overweight,” meaning they can’t stop in time for a light on Highway 183. If a gravel truck caused your accident, we look for maintenance violations in their 49 CFR Part 396 records.

Amazon & Delivery Van Accidents

The blue Amazon vans in the Hawkes Creek and Fairways neighborhoods are driven by workers under extreme time pressure. If an Amazon driver was checking their GPS and struck you, they are distracted. We know how to pierce the “Independent Contractor” shield that Amazon uses to hide its billions.

Garbage Trucks (Municipal & Private)

Westworth Village streets are narrow. A garbage truck backing up without a spotter is a violation of both company policy and OSHA safety standards. These vehicles have massive blind spots (No-Zones).

Rental Trucks (U-Haul, Penske)

Unlike professional CDL drivers, someone renting a U-Haul on Alta Mere Drive may have zero experience with a 26,000-pound truck. If the rental company gave a massive truck to an unlicensed or unfit driver, the rental company can be liable for negligent entrustment.

The Cost of a Catastrophic Injury in Tarrant County

We don’t settle for “fair.” We settle for “maximum.”

Traumatic Brain Injuries: TBI victims in Westworth Village need specialized care from neurologists in Fort Worth or Grapevine. Our settlements account for a lifetime of this care.
Amputations: We recently recovered $3.8 Million for a client who lost a limb. We ensure your home and vehicle are modified and your prosthetics are funded for life.
Wrongful Death: If a truck accident took a breadwinner, the family’s economic loss—their future income, benefits, and retirement—can total millions. We hire economists to prove the value of the life lost.

Dealing with Insurance Tactics: The Lupe Peña Advantage

Insurance adjusters are not your friends. They are trained negotiators whose job is to “close the file” for the lowest possible amount.

Our firm includes Lupe Peña, an associate attorney who formerly worked in insurance defense. Lupe knows that adjusters are often given a “settlement range.” His job is to push them to the very top of that range, or beyond. He knows when they are using a “gap in treatment” to try and deny your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Westworth Village Victims

What if the commercial truck was from a different state?
That is extremely common. Many 18-wheelers in Westworth Village are on “interstate” routes. This is why Ralph Manginello’s admission to federal court is so important. We can file suit in federal court to ensure out-of-state companies are held to national FMCSA standards.

How do you prove the driver was asleep at the wheel?
We use the “Electronic Logging Device” (ELD). If a driver was on duty for 16 hours straight, they were legally fatigued under 49 CFR Part 395. We also subpoena their cell phone records to see if they were texting or on social media at the time of the crash near Alta Mere Drive.

Should I sign the “Authorization for Medical Records” the insurance company sent me?
NO. They use these broad authorizations to dig into your medical history from 20 years ago to find any excuse to deny your current claim. Never sign anything from an insurance company without having Attorney911 review it first.

Are trucking companies liable for a tire blowout accident?
Usually yes. Part 393.75 of the federal regulations requires tires to have specific tread depths and be free of defects. If a retread failed because the carrier was trying to save money, they are negligent for the resulting crash. See our video: “Truck Tire Blowouts and When You Need a Lawyer” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCTumr1looc).

Who pays my medical bills while my case is pending?
You don’t have to wait for your settlement to get treatment. We can help you find doctors in the Tarrant County area who will treat you on a Letter of Protection (LOP). This means they get paid out of your settlement later, so you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket today.

Put a Fighter in Your Corner

For over 25 years, the Manginello Law Firm has been “powerful and proven” in the fight for injury victims. If an 18-wheeler, a delivery van, or a corporate fleet vehicle has changed your life, you don’t have to face them alone.

Expert Commercial Freight Litigation: Navigating Westworth Village Truck Claims

Westworth Village sits right in the firing line of North Texas commerce. When a 33,000-pound Class 8 commercial vehicle interacts with a family car on Highway 183, the injuries are never “minor.” At Attorney911, led by 25-year litigation veteran Ralph Manginello, we specialize in the high-energy physics and high-stakes law of truck accidents.

The Realities of Federal Trucking Law (FMCSR)

A truck accident in Westworth Village isn’t a “he-said, she-said” car wreck. It is a regulatory violation case. We utilize the Code of Federal Regulations to prove negligence:

Maintenance Logs (49 CFR Part 396): If a hauling truck serving the Westworth Village retail corridor had worn-out brake pads, the trucking company violated federal law. We subpoena the annual inspection reports for the last three years to find the history of neglect.
Driver Hours (49 CFR Part 395): Modern trucks use ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices). If the driver who rear-ended you on I-35W was over their 11-hour driving limit, the ELD data will prove it. We send spoliation letters within 48 hours to ensure this data isn’t “lost.”
Cargo Securement (49 CFR Part 393): If an oilfield water truck or sand hauler rolled over near Westworth Village, we look for evidence of shifting or improperly secured cargo. An unbalanced load makes a rollover inevitable during a simple lane change.

Holding Corporate Giants Accountable

Whether you were hit by a Walmart logistics truck, an Amazon DSP van, or a PepsiCo delivery vehicle, you are fighting a Fortune 500 company. These corporations often self-insure, meaning they pay your settlement directly from their profits. They will fight every nickel.

We have litigated against:

Walmart: One of the world’s largest private fleets. We know their internal safety systems like the “Smith System” and use their own higher safety standards to prove they were negligent.
Amazon: Amazon will try to blame a “Delivery Service Partner,” but we use the “Economic Reality” test to prove that Amazon controls every move their drivers make.
FedEx & UPS: Whether it’s an independent contractor or a union employee, we know the insurance layers (up to $50M+) that these companies possess.

Catastrophic Injuries: Settlement Ranges for Tarrant County

Our firm has recovered millions for families who thought they had lost everything.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): $1.5M to $9.8M+. Even a “mild” concussion can lead to permanent cognitive decline. We hire neuropsychologists to prove the extent of the damage.
Spinal Cord Trauma: $4.7M to $25.8M. Dealing with paralysis requires a “Life Care Plan” that funds 24/7 nursing and home modifications.
Wrongful Death: $1.9M to $9.5M. We treat your loss with the dignity it deserves while aggressively pursuing the trucking company for the future income and stability they took from your family.

Why Experience Matters: The Insurance Defense Insider

Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, spent years on the “other side.” He defended the very trucking companies we sue today. He knows that insurance companies use software like “Colossus” to minimize your claim. He knows that if we can prove an FMCSA violation or evidence spoliation, the “settlement value” of your case doubles overnight.

FAQs for Westworth Village Families

Can I sue the trucking company if the driver was an owner-operator?
Yes. In most cases, the trucking company (carrier) is liable for the equipment and driver operating under their DOT authority. We look for the “Master Lease Agreement” to find the insurance coverage.

How long do I have to file a claim in Westworth Village?
The Texas Statute of Limitations is two years. But for a truck wreck, “legal time” is different. Evidence (ECM data) begins disappearing in 30 days. Witnesses at the Hawkes Creek or Alta Mere shops will forget details in weeks. Call us today.

Is internal organ damage common in these wrecks?
Yes. The deceleration force of an 80,000-pound truck causes the human body to stop so fast that internal organs (spleen, liver, lungs) can tear or bruise. These injuries are often “silent killers” that don’t show up for 24-48 hours. Always seek immediate medical help.

What is a “Spoliation Letter?”
It is a legal notice that tells a trucking company: “We are suing you. If you delete the black box data, erase the dashcam video, or repair the truck before our experts inspect it, you will face sanctions in court.” This is the first thing we do for every Westworth Village client.

Should I accept the quick settlement offer from the insurance company?
NEVER. They reach out before you know if you need surgery. Once you sign their release, you can never ask for more, even if your injuries turn out to be permanent. Call Attorney911 at 888-ATTY-911 for a free evaluation of any offer.

Westworth Village Trucking Litigation: Holding Fleets & Carriers Accountable

If you’re reading this at a hospital near Westworth Village or from your home while staring at a mountain of medical bills, you already know the devastation that an 18-wheeler can cause. These are not “accidents”—they are systemic failures of safety. When a trucking company ignores maintenance or pushes a driver beyond legal hours, your family pays the price.

At Attorney911, we fight back. Ralph Manginello has over 25 years of experience taking on self-insured corporate fleets and massive insurance carriers. We don’t just sue—we litigate with a strategy born from federal court experience and insider knowledge of the insurance industry.

Why 18-Wheeler Crashes in Westworth Village are Different

Wrecks on Alta Mere Drive or near the Westworth Village retail center aren’t like car crashes.

The Weight Differential: An 80,000-lb truck is 20 times heavier than your car.
The Stopping Distance: Trucks need 40% more space to stop. If you were rear-ended on I-35W, the trucker likely saw you but simply couldn’t stop because of their massive momentum.
The Federal Oversight: Every truck in Tarrant County must comply with 49 CFR Parts 390-399. We find the violations they try to hide.

The Deep-Pocket Defendants: Beyond the Driver

We never stop at the driver. To get you the compensation you need for a life-altering injury, we identify ALL liable parties:

Carrier Liability: The trucking company is responsible for hiring a safe driver. If they didn’t run a background check, they are liable for negligent hiring.
Corporate Parent Liability: Amazon, Walmart, and Sysco use contractors to try and hide. We use the ABC test and the “right-to-control” test to prove these giants are legally your employers and must pay.
Manufacturer Liability: If a brake defect or steering failure caused the wreck near Westworth Village, we pursue the multi-billion dollar truck manufacturers.
Broker Liability: If a shipping broker hired a “bottom-tier” carrier with an “Unsatisfactory” DOT rating to save money, they are responsible for your suffering.

Multi-Million Dollar Tarrant County Recoveries

We specialize in catastrophic outcomes:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): $1.5M – $9.8M+. TBIs permanently change your personality and your ability to earn. We hire top medical experts to document your long-term needs.
Spinal Cord Injury: $4.7M – $25.8M. We secure the millions needed for adaptive housing, 24/7 care, and advanced medical equipment.
Wrongful Death: $1.9M – $9.5M. When a family loses a father or mother on a Westworth Village highway, we fight for the guidance, companionships, and future earnings that were stolen from you.

The Lupe Peña Factor: Inside the Insurance Industry

Our team includes a former insurance defense attorney. Lupe Peña used to represent the very companies we’re fighting now. He knows that adjusters are trained to ask questions that make you sound like you’re “not that hurt.” He knows the software they use to lowball pain and suffering claims.

When Lupe speaks to an adjuster about your case in Westworth Village, he’s speaking their language—and he’s letting them know they can’t use their usual tricks on us. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911 for direct, fluent representation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is “Black Box” (ECM) data?
It is the truck’s internal computer. It records speed, braking, and steering. If the trucker says “they cut me off,” but the black box shows no braking until impact, we prove they weren’t paying attention. We send spoliation letters within 48 hours to preserve this.

Can I sue for a truck accident on Westworth Village residential streets?
Yes. Dump trucks, Amazon vans, and garbage trucks are all commercial vehicles. They often have even worse blind spots (“No-Zones”) than 18-wheelers. If a delivery truck hit you or your child in a residential neighborhood, call us immediately.

How do you prove a driver was too tired to drive?
We cross-reference their ELD (Electronic Logging Device) with their “Driver Qualification File” and dispatch records. If they were scheduled for a “back-to-back” route that made sleep impossible, we prove systemic carrier negligence.

What is my truck accident case worth?
No two cases are the same. A TBI settlement is different than a herniated disc case. However, trucking cases carry much higher insurance ($750K to $10M+) than car wrecks. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, confidential evaluation of your specific case.

Who pays my bills if I can’t work after the accident?
We pursue “Loss of Earning Capacity” and “Past Lost Wages.” We also help you find medical providers through an LOP (Letter of Protection) so you can get the best care in Tarrant County without paying out of pocket.

Westworth Village Commercial Vehicle & 18-Wheeler Accident Resource Center

In the City of Westworth Village, an 18-wheeler accident isn’t just an “incident”—it’s a life-altering tragedy. Each day, the highways serving our retail corridor and military base are filled with 80,000-pound missiles. When driver fatigue, corporate greed, or mechanical failure causes a crash, local families are the ones left to pick up the pieces.

At Attorney911, led by the relentless Ralph Manginello, we don’t just file papers. We launch an full-scale investigation. With over 25 years of experience, a federal court admission, and a former insurance defense insider on staff, we have the resources to hold corporate giants accountable.

The Urgency of Evidence: Why You Can’t Wait

Trucking companies are sophisticated. After an accident near the Alta Mere shops or NAS JRB, their “Rapid Response” team is often on-site before the victim reaches the ER.

ECM (Black Box) Data: This proves if the driver was speeding on Highway 183. It is often overwritten in 30 days.
ELD Logs: Federal law only requires these be kept for 6 months.
Dashcam Footage: Many delivery fleets use video systems like Netradyne or Lytx. If we don’t send a spoliation letter within 48 hours, those videos can be “lost” forever.

Deep-Pocket Liability: Who Truly Pays for Your Injuries?

If you suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or a Spinal Cord injury, a standard $100,000 car insurance policy is gone in three days. We hunt for the TRUE liable parties:

The Carrier (Trucking Co): They are vicariously liable for their driver.
The Parent Corporation: Branded trucks (Walmart, Amazon, UPS, FedEx) often have $25M+ in umbrella coverage. We know how to pierce their contractor defenses.
Loading Companies: If cargo shifted because a third-party loader was rushing, they are liable for the rollover.
Manufacturing & Parts: If a tire blowout or brake failure was caused by a design defect, we sue the billionaires who built the truck.

Multi-Million Dollar Catastrophic Recoveries

We fight for Total Compensation:

Traumatic Brain Injury: $1.5M – $9.8M+. From memory loss to cognitive therapy, we fund your entire recovery.
Wrongful Death: $1.9M – $9.5M. We ensure your family’s financial future is secure after a fatal crash.
Amputations: Recently, we recovered $3.8 Million for a client who lost a limb. We provide for a lifetime of prosthetics and care.

Our team features associate attorney Lupe Peña. Lupe formerly worked for a national insurance defense firm. He knows that adjusters are taught to minimize “non-visible” injuries like herniated discs or PTSD. He knows how they try to trick victims into giving recorded statements that destroy their cases.

FAQ: What Westworth Village Victims Need to Know

What is the statute of limitations for a truck accident in Westworth Village?
In Texas, you have two years to file. But in a commercial case, the “real” deadline is often measured in days, as evidence disappears quickly.

What if the truck was an Amazon or delivery van?
These are commercial vehicle accidents. Amazon’s DSP model is a liability shield, but we know how to pierce it using federal “Control” tests. If Amazon monitored the driver via AI camera, they are responsible.

Are there special rules for accidents with commercial trucks on State Highway 183?
Yes. Drivers must follow FMCSA regulations (49 CFR 390-399). If they were on the road for more than 11 hours, they were driving illegally. We cross-reference their ELD logs with GPS data to prove the violation.

Who pays my hospital bills while I wait for a settlement?
We can help you get care through an LOP (Letter of Protection). This allows you to see specialists in Tarrant County for your back or brain injury today, with the cost deferred until your case settles.

How is “pain and suffering” calculated for a truck accident?
There is no fixed formula. We use the “Per Diem” or “Multiplier” methods to show a jury how your injuries have destroyed your quality of life—from missing your child’s events to living in chronic, stabbing pain.
