Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer in Hudspeth County, Texas
When I‑10 Traffic, Border Corridors, and Rural Roads Collide: You Need a Fighter Who Knows West Texas
The stretch of Interstate 10 through Hudspeth County moves fast—eighty thousand pounds of steel closing the gap between El Paso and San Antonio at seventy miles per hour, while you’re just trying to get home to Sierra Blanca, make your shift at the Fort Hancock port of entry, or get your cattle to market near Dell City. One moment you’re cruising past the Border Patrol checkpoint; the next, an 18‑wheeler has drifted across the lane, a dust storm has blinded a driver on FM 1111, or a drunk driver is leaving the last bar in town on a Saturday night.
If you’re reading this from Allamoore, Esperanza, or the rural ranches along the Rio Grande, you already know the truth about accidents out here: they’re not just dangerous because of the impact. They’re dangerous because the nearest Level I trauma center is an hour away in El Paso. They’re dangerous because the oilfield traffic from the Permian Basin spills over onto county roads never built for eighty‑thousand‑pound water trucks. And they’re dangerous because insurance companies think you’re too isolated to fight back.
We’re Attorney911. Ralph Manginello has spent twenty‑seven years fighting for injury victims across Texas, from the Houston Ship Channel to the federal courtrooms of the Western District. When you’re hurt in Hudspeth County—whether it’s a rear‑end collision on I‑10, a rollover on a ranch road, or a catastrophic encounter with a commercial truck—you need a team that moves faster than the evidence disappears and knows how to beat the insurance playbook from the inside. That’s why Lupe Peña, who spent years calculating claims for a national defense firm, now fights for you. He knows exactly how insurers try to lowball rural victims, and he knows how to stop them.

The Reality of Car Accidents in Hudspeth County: Where Texas Statistics Meet Desert Isolation
In 2024, Texas saw 4,150 people killed on our roads—one fatality every two hours and seven minutes. The Texas Department of Transportation recorded 115,173 crashes in Harris County alone, but here in Hudspeth County, the numbers tell a different story—one of distance, delay, and disproportionate danger. While we may not have the volume of Houston’s interchanges, we have something deadlier: rural crash severity.
Statewide, failed to drive in a single lane caused 800 fatal crashes—the single deadliest behavior on Texas roads. In rural West Texas, where I‑10 narrows and FM roads lack shoulders, this error becomes catastrophic. Under the influence of alcohol caused 566 fatal crashes across Texas, and in border communities like Fort Hancock and Sierra Blanca, the combination of late‑night traffic and limited rideshare options creates unique risks. Unsafe speed contributed to 490 fatal crashes statewide, but in Hudspeth County, where dust storms sweep across I‑10 without warning and livestock wander onto unlit ranch roads, speeding becomes a matter of life and death.
Consider the physics: an 80,000‑pound truck traveling at 65 mph needs 525 feet to stop—nearly two football fields. When that truck is barreling down the decline toward Allamoore or navigating the curves near the Sierra Diablo Mountains, and you’re in a 4,000‑pound sedan, the energy transfer in a collision is sixteen times what you’d face in a car‑to‑car crash. Rural crashes are 2.66 times more likely to be fatal than urban accidents, not because the accidents are different, but because emergency medical response takes longer. From Dell City to University Medical Center in El Paso is over an hour—critical time when you’re bleeding internally or suffering a traumatic brain injury.
The Silent Killers data from TxDOT reveals that pedestrian failed to yield crashes have a 19.3% fatality rate—nearly one in five. In border communities where pedestrians may be crossing near checkpoints or walking rural highways without sidewalks, this risk is acute. Fatigued or asleep driving caused 110 fatal crashes statewide, but in an oilfield‑adjacent county where drivers work fourteen‑hour shifts hauling water and sand from the Permian Basin, fatigue is an epidemic.
We don’t tell you this to frighten you. We tell you because every single one of these statistics represents a family in Hudspeth County who needed someone to fight for them after the unthinkable happened. If that family is yours, you need to know what you’re up against—and who’s on your side.
The Insurance Playbook: Why They Hope You’re Too Remote to Call a Lawyer
Here’s what the insurance adjuster won’t tell you when they call from Dallas or Phoenix while you’re lying in a hospital bed in El Paso: they’re recording everything, and they’re hoping you’ll settle before you know the full extent of your injuries.
Lupe Peña worked for a number of years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims. He sat in the meetings where adjusters discussed “Colossus” software—algorithms designed to minimize payouts by coding your herniated disc as a “soft tissue strain” and your traumatic brain injury as “subjective complaints.” He knows that in rural counties like Hudspeth, insurers often assume you won’t hire quality legal representation because you’re too far from the big cities.
Tactic One: The Quick Call. Within forty‑eight hours of your crash on I‑10, an adjuster will offer you $3,000 to sign a release. They’ll tell you it’s “fair” for a “minor” rear‑end collision. What they won’t mention is that the Stowers Doctrine (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §§ 33.001 et seq.) allows us to demand the policy limits, and if they unreasonably refuse, they become liable for the entire verdict—even amounts exceeding the policy. Lupe used to calculate these reserve amounts; now he knows how to force them upward by preparing every case for trial.
Tactic Two: The Independent Medical Exam. They’ll send you to a doctor who earns $5,000 a month reviewing claims for insurers. That doctor will say your back pain is “degenerative” and unrelated to the crash. LuPe knows these doctors—he hired them years ago. We know how to challenge their biases with objective MRI findings and the eggshell plaintiff rule—the legal doctrine that says the defendant takes you as they found you, pre‑existing conditions and all.
Tactic Three: Surveillance. While you’re trying to get to your physical therapy appointments in El Paso, a private investigator is filming you pumping gas, hoping to catch one frame where you move normally and ignore the ten minutes of struggle. Lupe’s insider knowledge is clear: “Insurance companies take innocent activity out of context. They freeze ONE frame of you moving ‘normally’ and ignore the 10 minutes of you struggling before and after.”
Tactic Four: The Independent Contractor Shield. If an Amazon DSP driver or an oilfield contractor hit you on FM 1101, the corporate parent will claim they’re not responsible because the driver was an “independent contractor.” We know how to pierce that veil. For Amazon, we document their control over routes, quotas, and the Netradyne AI cameras monitoring every move. For oil companies, we prove their Journey Management Plans—or lack thereof—created the fatigue that caused the crash.
In Hudspeth County, where Spanish is the primary language for many families, there’s another tactic: language barriers. Adjusters may pressure you to sign documents you don’t fully understand, or they may delay processing your claim hoping you’ll give up. We don’t let that happen. Hablamos Español. Lupe Peña and our staff, including Zulema who clients praise for her kindness and translations, ensure language is never a barrier to justice.
Don’t let them push you around. Call 1‑888‑ATTY‑911 today.
Accident Types in Hudspeth County: From I‑10 to Ranch Roads, We’ve Seen It All
Rear‑End Collisions on the I‑10 Corridor
Interstate 10 is the economic lifeline of Hudspeth County, carrying everything from Mexican produce to Permian Basin crude. It’s also a death trap when traffic slows for the Border Patrol checkpoint near Sierra Blanca or when dust storms reduce visibility to zero. Failed to control speed caused 131,978 crashes in Texas last year, and on I‑10, the physics are brutal.
When an 18‑wheeler rear‑ends a passenger vehicle, the car occupants absorb twenty‑five times the kinetic energy of a car‑to‑car collision. We’ve seen “minor” rear‑end crashes on I‑10 result in herniated discs at L4‑L5 and C5‑C6 that require fusion surgery six months later—surgeries costing $100,000 or more. Insurance companies will claim your back pain is “pre‑existing,” but we know how to prove the causation using accident reconstruction and medical experts.
Case Result Connection: In one recent case, our client suffered a leg injury in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. The insurance company offered $50,000, claiming the amputation was a “medical complication.” We proved the amputation was a direct result of the accident injuries, documented lifetime prosthetic costs, and settled the case for millions of dollars.
18‑Wheeler and Commercial Truck Accidents
If you’re hit by a semi on I‑10 near Fort Hancock or on US‑90 heading to Alpine, you’re facing the most complex and high‑value litigation in personal injury law. Texas leads the nation in truck crashes, with 39,393 commercial vehicle accidents in 2024 killing 608 people. In Hudspeth County, the danger comes from the convergence of long‑haul I‑10 traffic and oilfield support vehicles heading to and from the Permian Basin.
These aren’t just “truck accidents.” They’re cases involving:
- FMCSA Hours of Service violations: Drivers exceeding the 11‑hour driving limit after waiting hours at the border.
- Driver Qualification Files: Records showing the driver had a history of drug violations or unsafe driving that the carrier ignored.
- ELD (Electronic Logging Device) data: The truck’s “black box” showing the driver was speeding or didn’t brake before impact.
Under 49 CFR Part 395, truck drivers must maintain logs showing they rested 10 hours before driving. But in oilfield operations, the “waiting time” at well sites often pressures drivers to fudge logs. Lupe knows how to subpoena the raw electronic data, cross‑reference it with fuel receipts from the truck stops in Sierra Blanca, and prove the driver was fatigued.
Who’s Liable? It’s not just the driver. It’s the motor carrier (vicarious liability under respondeat superior), the freight broker who hired an unsafe carrier, the maintenance provider who skipped brake inspections, and sometimes the oil company that set the delivery schedule requiring illegal driving hours. We pursue them all.
Case Result Connection: 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. Ralph Manginello’s admission to federal court means we can handle the complex multi‑jurisdictional issues that arise when Mexican carriers or out‑of‑state logistics companies are involved.
Oilfield Vehicle Accidents: When the Permian Basin Spills Over
You don’t have to be in Midland to feel the effects of the Permian Basin oil boom. Hudspeth County sits on the western edge of the Permian, and every day water trucks, sand haulers, and hot shot drivers traverse our county roads on their way to well sites. These vehicles are often overloaded, operated by fatigued drivers on 16‑hour shifts, and maintained poorly by contractors cutting corners to meet drilling schedules.
The “independent contractor” defense is rampant here. The oil company will claim the water truck driver works for a contractor; the contractor will blame the driver. We cut through this by proving the oil company’s Journey Management Plan (or lack thereof) or their OSHA safety violations under 29 CFR 1910.119. When a water truck rolls over on FM 1111 because the sloshing liquid shifted the center of gravity, we investigate whether the loader properly secured the cargo under 49 CFR Part 393.
Unique Hazards:
- H2S exposure: If a tank truck ruptures releasing hydrogen sulfide, you may suffer chemical pneumonitis requiring lifetime respiratory care.
- Remote location delays: Crashes on lease roads may not be reached by EMS for 45 minutes, turning survivable injuries into fatal ones.
- Dual jurisdiction: These accidents involve both FMCSA trucking laws and OSHA workplace safety standards.
We know both. Ralph Manginello’s experience in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation—a $2.1 billion case involving 15 deaths and catastrophic industrial negligence—proves we can take on the energy sector’s legal armies.
Drunk Driving Accidents: The Border Bar Corridor
Texas saw 1,053 people killed in DUI‑alcohol crashes in 2024—one every 8.3 hours. In Hudspeth County, the danger peaks at 2:00 AM on Sunday mornings when bars in Sierra Blanca close and drivers head toward Fort Hancock or the interstate. Under the Texas Dram Shop Act (Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02), the bar that served an obviously intoxicated patron who then caused your crash can be held liable.
This is critical because many drunk drivers carry only the minimum $30,000/$60,000 liability coverage, which is grossly inadequate for catastrophic injuries. But a commercial Dram Shop policy often carries $1 million or more. We investigate the bar’s training records, surveillance footage (which deletes in 7‑14 days), and TABC certification to prove they knew the patron was intoxicated when they served them.
Punitive Damages: If the driver was convicted of intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter (felonies), the caps on punitive damages disappear entirely. The jury decides the amount, and these damages are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Single‑Vehicle and Rollover Accidents on Rural Roads
Failed to drive in a single lane caused 800 fatal crashes in Texas—the highest fatality count of any factor. In Hudspeth County, where FM roads lack shoulders and curves are unbanked, a moment of distraction leads to a rollover in the desert. But “single‑vehicle” doesn’t mean “nobody’s fault.”
We investigate:
- Road defects: If TxDOT or the county failed to maintain the road or post warning signs for sharp curves, they may be liable under the Texas Tort Claims Act (though capped at $100,000‑$500,000).
- Vehicle defects: Tire blowouts from defective manufacturing, rollover propensity in SUVs, or steering failures.
- Phantom vehicles: A driver forced off the road by an unidentified vehicle can still recover under their own UM/UIM coverage.
Motorcycle Accidents: The I‑10 Risk
Motorcyclists face disproportionate danger on rural interstates. In 2024, 585 riders died in Texas, with 42% of fatal motorcycle crashes caused by a car turning left in front of the bike—the classic “SMIDSY” (Sorry Mate, I Didn’t See You) scenario at rural intersections. Because Hudspeth County lacks comprehensive trauma facilities, a rider with road rash or internal bleeding faces the golden hour crisis—getting to El Paso in time.
Insurance companies stereotype riders as “reckless,” but we humanize our clients by proving they held valid licenses, wore protective gear, and were traveling legally when the defendant violated their right‑of‑way.
Pedestrian Accidents: Border Vulnerabilities
Pedestrians account for only 1% of crashes but 19% of fatalities—making a pedestrian crash 28.8 times more likely to be fatal than a car‑to‑car collision. In border communities, pedestrians may include day laborers, migrants, or residents walking along I‑10 or US‑90 where there are no sidewalks.
Critical Legal Point: If you have auto insurance in Texas, your UM/UIM coverage protects you even as a pedestrian—a fact most victims don’t know. If the hit‑and‑run driver flees back across the border or is uninsured (14% of Texas drivers), your own policy may be your only recovery source.
We also address the fear many undocumented residents have about making claims. Texas law does not require legal residency to recover damages. Your immigration status is confidential and irrelevant to your right to compensation. When Stephanie Hernandez says Leonor “took all the weight of my worries off my shoulders,” that includes the worry about status and language barriers.
The Texas Legal Framework: Your Rights in Hudspeth County
Modified Comparative Negligence: The 51% Bar
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 33.001 states you can recover damages only if you are 50% or less at fault. If you’re found 51% responsible, you recover nothing. Insurance companies love to blame pedestrians for “walking where they shouldn’t” or motorcyclists for “lane splitting” (which is not per se illegal in Texas but is dangerous).
We defeat these arguments with accident reconstruction, witness testimony, and the least defensible fact patterns: the rear‑end collision where the trailing driver was following too closely, or the left‑turn crash where the driver failed to yield.
Statute of Limitations
You have two years from the date of the accident to file suit. Miss this deadline, and your case is dead—no exceptions. For government claims (if a TxDOT truck caused the crash), you must file notice within six months. Call us immediately so we can preserve your rights.
Dram Shop Liability
As detailed above, if you were hit by a drunk driver leaving a bar in Sierra Blanca, we can sue the establishment that over‑served them, adding a deep‑pocket commercial defendant to your case.
The Stowers Doctrine
This is our nuclear option. When liability is clear—like a rear‑end collision or a DUI crash—we send a Stowers demand within policy limits. If the insurer unreasonably refuses, they become liable for the full verdict, even if it exceeds the policy. Lupe Peña calculated these reserves for years; now he forces insurers to pay them or face catastrophic excess liability.
MCS‑90 Endorsement
For interstate trucking accidents, this federal endorsement guarantees payment to injured third parties even if the insurance policy has exclusions. It’s the ultimate safety net for victims hit by out‑of‑state trucks on I‑10.
Medical Reality: The Distance to El Paso Trauma Care
If you’re seriously injured in Hudspeth County, your ambulance isn’t taking you to a local hospital—it’s racing to University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC), the nearest Level I trauma center, or William Beaumont Army Medical Center. That hour‑long transport means ** EMS response times are critical**, and injuries that might be survivable in Houston become fatal in the desert.
We account for this in your damages:
- Air ambulance costs: $50,000‑$100,000 if you’re life‑flighted from Dell City.
- Rehabilitation travel: Driving to El Paso three times a week for physical therapy at 125 miles round trip.
- Local economic impact: If you’re a rancher or work for Border Patrol, your lost wages calculation must account for the lack of local replacement employment.
Injury Types We Handle:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Even “mild” concussions can cause post‑concussive syndrome affecting concentration and memory.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Cervical fractures requiring stabilization, potentially causing paraplegia or quadriplegia.
- Burns: From vehicle fires or oilfield chemical exposures.
- Amputations: Agricultural and oilfield machinery accidents.
- Psychological Trauma: PTSD from crashes, especially prevalent in the 32‑45% of MVA victims who develop symptoms.
Our client Glenda Walker put it best: “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” That includes future medical costs, not just current bills.
The Attorney911 48‑Hour Protocol: Because Evidence Dies in the Desert Heat
In Hudspeth County, evidence disappears faster than water in July. Surveillance footage from the Allamoore Trading Post or the gas stations in Sierra Blanca auto‑deletes in 7‑14 days. ELD data from the truck that hit you overwrites every 30‑180 days. Witnesses at the Border Patrol checkpoint move on and are never seen again.
Within 24 hours of your call to 1‑888‑ATTY‑911, we send spoliation letters to:
- The trucking company (preserving black box, driver logs, maintenance records)
- The oil company (if an oilfield vehicle was involved)
- The bar that served the drunk driver (preserving tabs and video)
- TxDOT (if road design contributed)
- Any businesses near the crash scene with surveillance
We also document the scene ourselves, hire accident reconstructionists familiar with I‑10’s unique hazards, and ensure your vehicle is preserved for inspection before the insurance company totals it out.

Ralph Manginello: 27 Years of Results, Not Promises
Ralph Manginello has been licensed in Texas since 1998, admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and is a Million Dollar Member of the Trial Lawyers Achievement Association. He grew up in Houston’s Memorial area, played point guard for the 1989 New England Prep School Championship team at Cheshire Academy (inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2021), and has spent his career holding corporations accountable—including litigation against BP in the Texas City Refinery explosion, a $2.1 billion case that killed 15 workers and injured 170 more.
When Ralph walks into a courtroom in the 34th Judicial District serving Hudspeth County, he’s not visiting—he’s representing decades of Texas families who needed a fighter.
Lupe Peña: The Insurance Insider Now Fighting for You
Lupe Peña worked for years at a national defense firm, learning how insurers use Colossus software to minimize claims and hire IME doctors to call your pain “subjective.” Now he uses that knowledge against them. As client Jamin Marroquin said: “Mr. Manginello guided me through the whole process with great expertise…tenacious, accessible, and determined throughout the 19 months.” That tenacity comes from knowing exactly where the insurance company’s weak points are.
Case Results That Prove We Win
We don’t just promise results—we document them:
- Multi‑million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury with vision loss in a logging accident.
- Multi‑million dollar settlement for a car accident victim who suffered a partial leg amputation due to staff infections.
- Millions recovered for families facing trucking‑related wrongful death cases.
- Significant settlement for a maritime worker who injured his back lifting cargo—we proved he should have been assisted.
- BP explosion litigation involvement—one of the few firms in Texas to handle this catastrophic case.
- $10 million active litigation against the University of Houston and Pi Kappa Phi for hazing—showing we take on powerful institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions: Hudspeth County Car and Truck Accidents
What should I do immediately after an accident on I‑10 in Hudspeth County?
Call 911 immediately. Given the distance to trauma centers, request air ambulance if injuries are severe. Document the scene with photos, get witness information from other travelers at the Border Patrol checkpoint if applicable, and call 1‑888‑ATTY‑911 before giving any statement to insurance.
How much time do I have to file a lawsuit in Texas?
Two years from the date of the accident for personal injury. Six months notice for claims against government entities like TxDOT. Don’t wait—evidence disappears fast in rural areas.
Can I sue if I was partially at fault for the accident on a ranch road?
Yes, under Texas’s modified comparative negligence rule, as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you’re 51% responsible, you recover nothing. We fight to minimize your fault percentage using accident reconstruction.
Do I have a case if the other driver was uninsured?
Yes. Texas requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage, which protects you even if the at‑fault driver has no insurance or flees the scene (hit‑and‑run). We can also pursue Dram Shop liability if alcohol was involved, or employer liability if the driver was working.
Who pays my medical bills if I’m taken to El Paso for treatment?
The at‑fault party’s insurance should pay, but they won’t do so immediately. We help arrange medical liens or letters of protection so you can get treatment at UMC El Paso or William Beaumont without upfront costs, and we fight to ensure those bills are included in your settlement.
Can undocumented immigrants file injury claims in Hudspeth County?
Absolutely. Your immigration status does not affect your right to compensation under Texas law. We keep your information confidential, and hablamos español to ensure full communication.
What is a Stowers demand and how does it help me?
If we make a settlement demand within the insurance policy limits and the insurer unreasonably refuses, they become liable for the entire verdict, even amounts above the policy. Lupe Peña knows from his defense experience exactly how to draft these demands to force insurers to pay or face excess liability.
How much is my truck accident case worth on I‑10?
It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and liability clarity. Trucking cases often settle in the hundreds of thousands to millions due to federal insurance requirements ($750,000‑$5 million) and corporate assets. We’ve recovered millions for trucking wrongful death cases.
What if the trucking company says the driver was an independent contractor?
We investigate the level of control the company exercised. For Amazon, FedEx Ground, or oilfield contractors, we prove the company controlled routes, schedules, or equipment, piercing the independent contractor defense to reach the corporate policy.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
Never. First offers are typically 10‑20% of true value. They hope you’ll accept before discovering the full extent of your injuries or hiring a lawyer. As client Tracey White noted, we often tell clients to wait one more week because “she knew she could get a better offer.”
What if I hit livestock on a Hudspeth County road?
Texas has “open range” laws in some areas, but ranchers may still be liable if they negligently allowed livestock to enter a state highway like I‑10. We investigate fencing compliance and prior incidents.
Can I recover for PTSD after a truck accident?
Yes. Psychological injuries like PTSD, anxiety, and depression are compensable under Texas law as “mental anguish” and “loss of enjoyment of life,” especially given the severity of truck accident trauma.
Why do I need a lawyer if the accident was clearly the other driver’s fault?
Because clear liability doesn’t guarantee fair payment. Insurance companies use software to minimize payouts and hire lawyers to delay. With 27+ years of experience and a former insurance defense attorney on staff, we ensure you don’t get cheated.
How long will my case take to resolve?
Simple cases may resolve in 6‑12 months; complex trucking or oilfield cases may take 18‑36 months. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, which often forces earlier, higher settlements.
Will my case go to trial?
Most settle, but we prepare every case for trial. Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission and trial experience mean insurance companies know we’re not bluffing when we demand fair value.
What is the MCS‑90 endorsement?
A federal guarantee on interstate trucking policies that ensures injured parties get paid even if the policy has exclusions. Critical for I‑10 accidents involving out‑of‑state carriers.
Can I switch lawyers if I’m unhappy with my current representation?
Yes. As client CON3531 noted, we frequently take over cases from other lawyers who dropped them or weren’t fighting hard enough. You can change attorneys at any time.
What if my child was injured in a school bus accident in Hudspeth County?
School bus cases involve governmental immunity under the Texas Tort Claims Act, requiring notice within 6 months. The damages are capped ($100,000‑$500,000), but we pursue all available compensation from the school district or negligent driver.
How do oilfield accidents differ from regular truck accidents?
They involve dual regulation (FMCSA for the road, OSHA for the worksite), unique hazards like H2S and chemicals, and complex contractor liability chains. Our experience in the BP explosion litigation gives us the expertise to handle these complexities.
Do you offer Spanish language services?
Sí. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish, and staff members like Zulema provide translation services. We ensure language is never a barrier to justice for Hudspeth County families.
What if the other driver fled the scene (hit‑and‑run)?
We use your UM/UIM coverage, investigate surveillance from nearby businesses or the Border Patrol checkpoint, and work with law enforcement to identify the driver. Don’t assume you have no options.
How much does it cost to hire Attorney911?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—33.33% before trial, 40% if trial is necessary. You pay no fees unless we win. Call 1‑888‑ATTY‑911 for a free consultation.
Why should I choose Attorney911 over a big city firm?
Because we combine big‑city resources (federal court admission, BP litigation experience, millions recovered) with small‑town accessibility. We know the Hudspeth County courts, the El Paso medical providers, and the unique challenges of border and rural accidents. As Dean Jones said, we’re the “Best lawyers in the city…they really care about their clients.”
