Car Accident Lawyer in Kerr County, Texas | Attorney911 Legal Emergency Lawyers™

If you’ve just been hurt in a car accident in Kerr County, Texas, you’re probably overwhelmed, in pain, and wondering what to do next. We understand. One minute you’re driving through our Hill Country roads—maybe on Highway 16 heading toward Fredericksburg, or on Highway 27 near Ingram Lake—and the next, your life is turned upside down. The medical bills are piling up. The insurance adjuster is already calling. You’re missing work, and the stress is keeping you up at night.

We want you to know something critical: you don’t have to face this alone. At Attorney911 (The Manginello Law Firm), we’ve spent 27 years fighting for injured Texans across the state, including right here in Kerr County. In 2024 alone, Texas saw 4,150 traffic deaths and 251,977 injuries—crashes caused by everything from distracted driving on Ranch-to-Market roads to speeding on Highway 173. We have the data, the experience, and the insider knowledge to take on the insurance companies and win.

We Know What You’re Up Against—Because We’ve Seen Their Playbook From the Inside

Here’s what most people don’t realize: the insurance adjuster calling you isn’t your friend. They’re building a case against you from day one. They’ll ask seemingly innocent questions like, “You’re feeling better though, right?” while recording every word to twist later. They’ll offer $3,500 while you’re desperate, hoping you’ll sign away a claim that’s really worth $300,000. They’ll hire “independent” doctors to claim you’re not really hurt.

We know this because Lupe Peña, our associate attorney, used to work for them.

Lupe spent years at a national defense firm where he calculated claim values, hired the doctors who minimize injuries, and learned every delay tactic in the book. Now he uses that classified intelligence for you. When an adjuster says, “We only have $30,000 in coverage,” Lupe knows how to investigate and find the $1 million commercial policy or $2 million umbrella policy they’re not telling you about. When they send you to their hand-picked IME doctor, Lupe knows that doctor’s history because he hired them himself.

This insider advantage is why our clients see results that other firms can’t deliver. Donald Wilcox came to us after another firm rejected his case entirely. We took it on, did the work, and he got what he calls “a handsome check.” Greg Garcia’s previous attorney dropped him—we took over and got him justice. Chavodrian Miles connected with Leonor, our case manager, who got him into a doctor the same day and settled his case in just six months.

Texas Crash Data That Proves Why Kerr County Drivers Need Protection

Let’s talk about what’s really happening on Texas roads—and specifically how it affects you here in Kerr County.

In 2024, Texas had 131,978 crashes caused by drivers who failed to control speed—that’s one every four minutes. Here in Kerr County, our winding Ranch-to-Market roads like FM 1338 and FM 1340 see their share of these dangerous drivers. Statewide, 42,588 crashes happened because someone couldn’t stay in their lane, killing 800 people—the deadliest single factor in Texas. Our rural two-lane highways are particularly vulnerable to these lethal errors.

Drunk driving remains a crisis. Texas saw 1,053 DUI-alcohol deaths in 2024, accounting for over 25% of all traffic fatalities. In Kerr County, with our active community and events, the risk is real. Every crash at 2 AM on a Sunday morning often traces back to a bar that overserved a patron. That’s where Texas Dram Shop law becomes your secret weapon—we can hold the establishment accountable, opening up their $1 million+ commercial policy on top of the drunk driver’s insurance.

Pedestrian accidents are devastating anywhere, but especially in our community. Pedestrians represent just 1% of crashes but 19% of all traffic deaths in Texas. A pedestrian crash is 28.8 times more likely to be fatal than a car-to-car collision. If you or a loved one was hit while walking near downtown Kerrville or along Highway 16, the injuries are catastrophic—and the driver’s $30,000 minimum policy won’t begin to cover it.

Commercial trucks pose an existential threat on our highways. Texas leads the nation with 39,393 commercial vehicle crashes in 2024, killing 608 people. Here in Kerr County, Interstate 10 runs through our southern edge, bringing heavy truck traffic daily. The statistics are terrifying: in car-vs-truck crashes, 97% of deaths are car occupants. You’re 36.5 times more likely to die when hit by a semi. These aren’t accidents—they’re corporate negligence cases involving federal regulations, driver violations, and multi-million-dollar insurance policies.

The Complete Range of Motor Vehicle Accidents We Handle in Kerr County

Rear-End Collisions: The “Automatic Liability” Cases

Rear-end crashes are among the least defensible accidents in Texas law. When a driver fails to control speed or follows too closely—which caused 153,026 crashes statewide in 2024—they’re almost always 100% at fault. The Texas Transportation Code § 545.062 creates a presumption of negligence on the trailing driver.

But here’s what insurance companies won’t tell you: even “minor” rear-end impacts can cause serious injuries. We’ve seen clients walk away from fender-benders, only to develop herniated discs requiring spinal fusion surgery months later. That $5,000 nuisance settlement the insurer offers in week one can turn into a $175,000-$500,000 case once the true extent of injuries is documented.

Our multi-million dollar result: “In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions.”

When you’re rear-ended on Highway 27 near Ingram or stopped at a light on Main Street in Kerrville, the liability is clear. But the insurance company’s first offer will be insultingly low. That’s when Lupe’s insider knowledge of Stowers Doctrine becomes critical—if liability is this clear-cut, we can force the insurer to settle for policy limits or risk paying the entire judgment themselves.

T-Bone and Intersection Crashes: Where Texas Roads Are Deadliest

Intersection crashes killed 1,050 people in Texas in 2024. The combination of “Failed to Yield Right-of-Way” violations caused 88,634 crashes, with 367 deaths. Whether it’s someone running a red light at the intersection of Highway 16 and Loop 534, or a distracted driver blowing through a stop sign in Mountain Home, these side-impact collisions generate catastrophic injuries.

What makes these cases particularly valuable is the evidence. Red light cameras, surveillance footage from nearby businesses, and witness testimony often create an open-and-shut liability case. Yet insurance companies still try to argue comparative fault—claiming you were speeding, or should have seen them coming. They’ll use the Texas 51% comparative fault rule to try assigning you just enough blame to slash your compensation.

But we know their playbook. When they hired Lupe, he was trained to blame-shift to phantom third parties and exaggerate plaintiff fault. Now he defeats those same tactics with accident reconstruction experts, video analysis, and precise application of Texas Transportation Code violations.

Single-Vehicle and Run-Off-Road Crashes: When the Road Itself Is the Killer

If you’ve been in a single-vehicle crash on a Kerr County road, you might think you have no case. The insurance company certainly wants you to believe that. But 42,588 crashes happened in Texas because drivers failed to stay in their lane, and 800 of those were fatal—the #1 killer factor statewide. Many of these involve road defects that make the government liable.

Texas law (Texas Tort Claims Act) allows us to sue the state, county, or city when their negligence contributed. Missing guardrails on a curve of Highway 39, a pothole on FM 1340 that caused you to lose control, inadequate signage at a construction zone—these aren’t just accidents. They’re negligence claims with six-figure potential. But you must act fast: government claims require notice within six months, not two years.

We’ve also handled cases where vehicle defects caused the crash: tire blowouts, steering failures, roof crush in rollovers. These are strict product liability claims against manufacturers, not driver error cases.

Drunk Driving Accidents: The Cases With No Settlement Cap

Drunk driving crashes killed 1,053 people in Texas in 2024. Every single one represents a potential punitive damages claim—and if the drunk driver is charged with a felony (Intoxication Assault or Intoxication Manslaughter), there is NO CAP on punitive damages in Texas. The jury decides the amount.

This is what makes DUI cases the highest-value claims we handle. While compensatory damages are capped at (2x economic damages) + non-economic (up to $750,000), punitive damages for felony DWI have no statutory limit. We’ve seen juries award $10 million, $20 million, even $50 million in punitive damages to send a message.

But there’s another layer: Texas Dram Shop Act. If the drunk driver was overserved at a bar, restaurant, or even a hotel minibar, we can hold that establishment accountable. In Kerr County, that might mean investigating a local restaurant’s surveillance footage and TABC records. Commercial policies for bars start at $1 million—adding a deep-pocket defendant to your case.

Commercial Truck and 18-Wheeler Accidents: Taking on Billion-Dollar Corporations

Texas leads the nation in trucking accidents, and it’s not close. 39,393 commercial vehicle crashes in 2024 killed 608 people. Here in Kerr County, I-10 brings constant truck traffic, and our rural roads see their share of delivery trucks and construction vehicles.

The 18-wheeler case we settled in the millions didn’t happen by accident. It required understanding Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) down to the section number. We subpoenaed the driver’s Hours of Service logs, inspected the truck’s Event Data Recorder (black box), analyzed the company’s CSA scores, and proved the carrier knew the driver had exceeded his 11-hour driving limit.

Our documented result: “At Attorney911, our personal injury attorneys have helped numerous injured individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation.”

When you’re hit by a commercial vehicle, you’re not just fighting a driver—you’re fighting a corporation with a legal team on retainer. But we’ve taken on billion-dollar companies before. Our firm’s involvement in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation ($2.1 billion case, 15 killed, 170+ injured) taught us how to litigate against multinational corporations in federal court. Ralph’s federal court admission to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, means we can handle the most complex trucking cases that require federal jurisdiction.

Rideshare Accidents: The $1 Million Policy Nobody Tells You About

If you were hit by an Uber or Lyft driver in Kerr County, you may not realize you’re covered by a $1 million commercial liability policy—but only if the driver was actively transporting a passenger or on their way to pick one up. During Period 1 (app on, waiting for request), coverage drops to $50,000 per person. When the app is off, it’s just the driver’s personal $30,000 policy.

This creates a coverage maze that insurance companies exploit. They’ll claim the driver was offline or waiting, not actively driving. But we know how to obtain the app activity logs from Uber and Lyft’s legal departments—data that proves exactly what the driver was doing at the moment of impact.

The national data is alarming: since rideshare launched, fatal crash rates have risen about 3% annually, adding roughly 987 deaths per year. In Texas, where rideshare is ubiquitous in every metro, the impact is significant.

Motorcycle Accidents: Fighting Bias With Facts

In 2024, 585 motorcyclists died on Texas roads. Here in Kerr County, our scenic Hill Country roads attract riders, but they also create risks when car drivers fail to share the road. The #1 cause of fatal motorcycle crashes? A car turning left in front of the bike—accounting for 42% of fatalities.

Insurance defense attorneys exploit jury bias against “reckless bikers.” They’ll point to the 37% of victims who weren’t wearing helmets, trying to assign maximum fault under Texas’s 51% comparative fault rule. But under the eggshell plaintiff doctrine, a defendant takes the victim as they find them. If you weren’t wearing a helmet, we can still recover for the injuries the helmet wouldn’t have prevented—like the broken femur from a T-bone impact.

Our case evaluation focuses on humanizing the rider, documenting the car driver’s failure to yield, and countering bias with accident reconstruction evidence. Lupe’s defense experience is crucial here—he knows exactly how insurance companies try to blame riders, so we preemptively destroy those arguments.

Pedestrian Accidents: Your Own Insurance May Cover You

This is the most underutilized fact in Texas personal injury law: if you have car insurance, your UM/UIM coverage protects you even as a pedestrian. In 2024, 768 pedestrians were killed in Texas—75% after dark, 84% in urban areas, and 25% in hit-and-run crashes.

When a driver hits you and flees, or carries only the $30,000 minimum, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can provide $100,000, $300,000, or even $500,000 in additional compensation. Most Kerr County residents have no idea this coverage exists. We’ve recovered hundreds of thousands for pedestrian clients using their own policies—money their insurers never told them about.

Our multi-million dollar brain injury case involved a client who suffered vision loss when a log dropped on him at a logging company—a scenario with parallels to pedestrian and industrial accidents where third-party liability applies.

Delivery Vehicle Accidents: Amazon, FedEx, UPS

Every day in Kerr County, delivery trucks from Amazon, FedEx, and UPS navigate our neighborhoods and business districts. What most people don’t know is that “Backed Without Safety” caused 8,950 crashes statewide in 2024—a signature move for delivery drivers in a hurry.

Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP) model creates a liability shield: Amazon claims drivers are “independent contractors,” not employees. But we pierce that shield by documenting Amazon’s control: they set delivery quotas, specify routes, require branded uniforms, install surveillance cameras, and maintain deactivation power over drivers. Courts are increasingly holding Amazon responsible, as shown in the $105 million verdict in Lopez v. All Points 360 (Amazon DSP case).

FedEx Ground contractors and UPS employees have different liability structures, but all carry substantial commercial policies—typically $1 million or more. When a UPS truck backs into your car in a Kerrville parking lot or an Amazon van sideswipes you on Sidney Baker Street, we know how to access those policies.

DUI Accidents: The Maximum Recovery Stack

Every drunk driving crash in Kerr County triggers a multi-layered investigation. First, we pursue the driver’s insurance. Second, we identify where they were drinking and file a Dram Shop claim if they were overserved. Third, we activate your UM/UIM coverage. Fourth, we demand punitive damages—uncapped if the DUI is charged as a felony.

The timing is critical. Texas bars close at 2 AM. That’s why 2:00-2:59 AM on Sunday morning is the single deadliest hour for DUI crashes. When we see a crash at that time, we immediately know there’s a dram shop case to investigate.

Ralph’s membership in the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association means we handle both the criminal charges against the drunk driver AND your civil recovery—a comprehensive approach most firms can’t offer.

Construction Zone and Weather-Related Accidents

Texas work zones saw 28,000 crashes in 2024, killing 215 people—a 12% increase. In Kerr County, where highway maintenance and development projects are constant, inadequate signage or barriers can make the construction company liable.

Weather-related crashes are often misunderstood. 90.3% of Texas crashes happen in clear or cloudy weather—driver behavior, not weather, causes accidents. Rain causes only 8.4% of crashes (and even fewer fatalities because people slow down). Fog, however, makes crashes 2.4 times more likely to be fatal.

Texas Law: What You’re Entitled to Recover

Under Texas law, you’re eligible for three categories of damages:

Economic Damages (No Cap): All medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, property damage, out-of-pocket costs. For catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage, lifetime medical costs can reach $13 million.

Non-Economic Damages (No Cap): Pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life. A herniated disc requiring surgery typically yields $346,000-$1.2 million in total compensation.

Punitive Damages (Capped, Except for Felony DWI): Standard cap is greater of $200,000 or (2x economic damages) + non-economic (max $750,000). BUT if the underlying act is a felony—like Intoxication Assault or Intoxication Manslaughter—there is NO CAP. We’ve seen juries award $50 million in punitive damages to punish egregious conduct.

The Stowers Doctrine is our most powerful collection tool. If liability is clear and we make a settlement demand within the at-fault driver’s policy limits, the insurance company must accept or become liable for the entire judgment—even if it exceeds policy limits tenfold.

The 48-Hour Protocol: Evidence Disappears Fast

From the moment you call us at 1-888-ATTY-911, we begin preserving evidence that insurance companies want to disappear:

Days 1-7: We secure surveillance footage (deleted in 7-30 days), photograph skid marks before they fade, and interview witnesses while memories are fresh.

Days 7-30: We send preservation letters to prevent spoliation of Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data from trucks, cell phone records, and vehicle Event Data Recorders (black boxes).

Days 30-180: We obtain driver logs, maintenance records, and company safety records before they’re legally destroyed.

Our YouTube video “What Should I Do First After an Accident?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCox4Lq7zBM explains this process in detail.

Client Testimonials That Prove Our Approach

Donald Wilcox shared: “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.”

Chavodrian Miles told us: “Leonor got me into the doctor the same day…it only took 6 months amazing. I also got a very nice settlement.”

Stephanie Hernandez said: “When I felt I had no hope or direction, Leonor reached out to me…She took all the weight of my worries off my shoulders.”

Greg Garcia explained: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Manginello law firm were able to help me out.”

Chelsea Martinez noted: “Special thank you to my attorney, Mr. Pena, for your kindness and patience with my repeated questions.”

Maria Ramirez (Spanish-speaking client): “The support provided at Manginello Law Firm was excellent…They worked hard to do their best.”

Dame Haskett emphasized: “Consistent communication and not one time did i call and not get a clear answer…Ralph reached out personally.”

Brian Butchee confirmed: “Melanie was excellent. She kept me informed and when she said she would call me back, she did.”

Credentials That Matter in Complex Cases

• Ralph Manginello: 27+ years licensed, federal court admission, BP explosion litigation veteran, Trial Lawyers Achievement Association Million Dollar Member, Pro Bono College of the State Bar of Texas, Journalism degree (UT Austin) for storytelling, 290+ educational videos
• Lupe Peña: 13+ years, former insurance defense attorney, King Ranch heritage, fluent Spanish, federal court admission
• Federal Court Experience: Both attorneys admitted to U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas—critical for trucking, maritime, and product liability cases
• Dual Strategy: Ralph’s criminal defense background (HCCLA) means we handle DWI accident cases with both criminal and civil angles

Bilingual Services for Our Texas Community

We Take Cases Others Reject

Multiple reviews highlight that we accept cases other attorneys drop. Donald Wilcox, Greg Garcia, and client CON3531 all came to us after other firms turned them away. We see potential where others see difficulty.

Your Injuries: Medical Reality vs. Insurance Fiction

Traumatic Brain Injury

Even “mild” concussions can cause permanent damage. Symptoms may appear days later: worsening headaches, personality changes, sleep disturbances, memory problems. Insurance claims you’re “fine” because your CT scan was normal. We bring in neuropsychologists and life care planners to prove the long-term impact. Our multi-million dollar brain injury settlement involved vision loss that required extensive documentation of future care needs.

Spinal Cord Injury

Complete vs. incomplete injuries determine lifelong costs. A high cervical injury (C1-C4) requiring ventilator support costs $13+ million over a lifetime. Even paraplegia runs $2.5-$5.25 million. We work with life care planners and economists to present these numbers to juries, not just adjusters.

Herniated Discs

The progression is predictable: conservative treatment ($22K-$46K), epidural injections, then surgery ($96K-$205K). Insurance uses gaps in treatment to devalue claims. We ensure consistent medical documentation and use medical experts to explain why disc injuries worsen over time.

Amputations

Our documented case—where a leg infection after a car accident led to partial amputation—settled in the millions. Why? Because we calculated lifetime prosthetic costs ($500K-$2M), lost earning capacity, and the profound impact on quality of life.

Psychological Injuries

32-45% of MVA victims develop PTSD. Driving anxiety, panic attacks, sleep disturbances—these are compensable damages. Insurance calls them “subjective.” We call them documented mental health diagnoses that require treatment.

FAQs: Real Answers for Kerr County Accident Victims

Q: What should I do immediately after a car accident in Kerr County?
A: First, ensure safety and call 911. Get medical attention even if you feel okay—adrenaline masks injuries. Document everything: photos of all vehicles, the scene, your injuries. Exchange information but admit no fault. Get witness names and numbers. Most importantly, call 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to any insurance company. Everything you say to an adjuster will be used against you.

Q: Should I give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance?
A: Absolutely not. Insurance adjusters are trained to ask leading questions like “You’re feeling better though, right?” while recording. That statement becomes evidence. Once you hire Attorney911, all communication goes through us. Lupe Peña used to take these statements—he knows exactly how they’re used to minimize claims.

Q: How much is my Kerr County car accident case worth?
A: It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and liability clarity. Soft tissue cases: $15,000-$60,000. Surgical cases: $346,000-$1.2 million. Catastrophic injuries: $1.5-$10+ million. We calculate using the multiplier method (medical expenses × severity multiplier + lost wages). Our documented amputation case settled in the millions. Learn more in our video “How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onBzdkIWadY

Q: What if I was partially at fault for the Kerr County crash?
A: Texas uses modified comparative negligence. You can recover if you’re 50% or less at fault, with your award reduced by your percentage. At 51% fault, you recover nothing. Insurance tries to push you to 51%. Lupe’s defense experience means we know how to fight back with accident reconstruction and expert testimony.

Q: The insurance company offered $5,000 to settle. Should I take it?
A: Not until you reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) and know the full extent of your injuries. We’ve seen clients with herniated discs need $100,000 surgery after “minor” crashes. If you sign a release for $5,000, you can’t get more later. Let us review the offer—it’s free.

Q: How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Texas?
A: Two years from the accident date for personal injury (Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003). Wrongful death: two years from death date. BUT—government claims (against TxDOT for road defects) require notice within six months. Evidence disappears in days, not years. Call immediately.

Q: Can I sue the bar that served the drunk driver who hit me in Kerr County?
A: Yes, under the Texas Dram Shop Act (Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02). If the establishment served someone “obviously intoxicated,” they’re liable. We investigate surveillance footage, witness statements, and TABC records. Commercial bar policies start at $1 million—adding a deep-pocket defendant dramatically increases recovery.

Q: What if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
A: This is where your own UM/UIM coverage becomes critical. If you have car insurance, it covers you as a pedestrian, cyclist, or driver. Many policies are $100,000-$300,000. We can also stack policies across multiple vehicles. Most people don’t know this—insurance doesn’t volunteer the information. Lupe calculated these coverages for years; he knows how to maximize them.

Q: Will my case go to trial?
A: Most settle, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That preparation gives us leverage. Insurance companies know which firms actually try cases vs. those that always settle cheap. Our federal court experience and multi-million-dollar verdict history means they take us seriously. Learn more in “Will Your Case Go to Trial?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed5AnmCMcc

Q: How much do you charge?
A: Contingency fee: 33.33% if settled before trial, 40% if we go to trial. You pay nothing upfront. We don’t get paid unless we win. Court costs and case expenses may apply, but we advance those. No win = no fee.

Q: Who will handle my case?
A: You’ll work directly with our team, including case managers like Leonor (praised in 80+ reviews for same-day doctor appointments and 6-month resolutions) and attorneys Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña. Ralph oversees all cases. Lupe brings his insurance defense expertise. You’re not handed off to a paralegal you’ve never met.

Q: What if I already hired another attorney?
A: You can switch. Greg Garcia did—his previous lawyer dropped his case, we took over and won. We make transitions seamless. You’re not stuck with an attorney who isn’t fighting for you.

Q: Do you offer Spanish language services?
A: Yes. Lupe Peña is fluent, and our staff includes bilingual team members like Zulema. Hablamos Español. Many of our Spanish-speaking clients praise the comfort of communicating in their native language during a stressful time.

Q: Can undocumented immigrants file claims in Kerr County?
A: Yes. Immigration status does not affect your right to compensation. We help injured people regardless of status. Our immigration law knowledge (see our 5-part video series at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OESybzkXsrw) ensures we protect your rights without jeopardizing your status.

Q: What if I didn’t see a doctor right away?
A: Don’t let that stop you from calling. Adrenaline masks injuries; delayed symptoms are common. But gaps in treatment will be used against you. We can help you get proper medical care now and document the connection to your crash.

Q: How long will my case take?
A: Simple soft tissue cases: 3-6 months. Cases requiring surgery: 6-12 months. Complex trucking or catastrophic injury cases: 12-24 months. Our client Tymesha Galloway had her case resolved in 6 months. Jamin Marroquin’s complex case took 19 months, but Ralph guided him “with great expertise” throughout.

Q: What common mistakes hurt car accident cases?
A: 1) Giving recorded statements to insurance. 2) Posting on social media (they monitor everything). 3) Accepting quick, low settlements. 4) Gaps in medical treatment. 5) Not calling a lawyer immediately. Our video “Client Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Case” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3IYsoxOSxY covers these in detail.

Q: Can I file a claim against TxDOT for a dangerous road condition?
A: Yes, under the Texas Tort Claims Act, but you must give notice within 6 months (Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapter 101). Examples: missing guardrail on Highway 39, dangerous shoulder drop-off on FM 1340, malfunctioning signal in Kerrville. Damages capped at $250,000 per person for state/county entities.
