The Definite Guide to Motor Vehicle Accident Claims in Jolly, Texas

If you are reading this while sitting in a hospital bed at United Regional in Wichita Falls or dealing with the persistent, throbbing pain of a neck injury days after a crash on US-287 in Jolly, we understand what is running through your mind. A motor vehicle accident is a violent disruption. In the seconds it takes for a distracted driver to miss a brake light or an 18-wheeler to drift over a lane line in Clay County, your life shifts from normal routines to a chaotic maze of medical bills, insurance adjusters, and physical limitations.

We are Attorney 911 / The Manginello Law Firm. For over 27 years, Ralph Manginello has stood as a trial-tested advocate for injured Texans, bringing federal court experience from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas to every case we handle. We have gone head-to-head with some of the largest entities in the world, including BP after the Texas City refinery explosion, and we have secured multi-million-dollar recoveries for families facing traumatic brain injuries and wrongful death.

When you call us at 1-888-ATTY-911, you are not just getting a lawyer; you are gaining an insider advantage. Our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who once wrote the very playbook the insurance company is using against you right now. We know how the carriers in Jolly calculate their lowball offers, and we know exactly how to dismantle their defenses to get you the maximum compensation Texas law allows.

The Reality of Crashes in Jolly and Clay County

Jolly sits at a critical junction of North Texas commerce. US-287 is the lifeblood of this region, serving as a high-speed corridor for commuters driving between Wichita Falls and the DFW Metroplex, as well as a primary route for heavy commercial freight. The speed limits are high, the traffic is a mix of passenger sedans and 80,000-pound tractor-trailers, and the margins for error are razor-thin.

In our experience, crashes in Jolly often carry a higher severity than those in dense urban stop-and-go traffic. While a “fender bender” in Houston might happen at 10 mph, a rear-end collision on US-287 often occurs at 60 mph or higher as traffic slows for the Jolly exits. These high-velocity impacts produce catastrophic forces that the human body was never designed to absorb.

When a crash occurs in Jolly, the emergency response typically involves the Clay County Sheriff’s Office or the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). Because Jolly is a small community, serious injuries are almost always routed to United Regional in Wichita Falls, the closest Level II Trauma Center. If the injuries are truly catastrophic, patients may be life-flighted to Level I facilities in Fort Worth or Dallas. We coordinate closely with these medical providers to ensure that every facet of your injury—from the cellular damage in a concussion to the structural failure of a spinal disc—is documented for your legal claim.

Your Rights Under Texas Substantive Law

The insurance companies want you to believe that “an accident is just an accident” and that they will “take care of you.” This is a dangerous misconception. The insurance industry is a profit-driven enterprise that views your injury as a liability to be minimized. You have specific rights under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and we are here to enforce them.

Understanding the Two-Year Deadline

Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.16.htm#16.003), you generally have exactly two years from the day of the crash to file a lawsuit in Jolly. If you miss this window, your right to recover anything is permanently barred. However, if the at-fault vehicle belonged to a governmental entity—such as a Clay County vehicle, a TxDOT truck, or a school bus from a local ISD—the deadline for notice is much shorter. Under § 101.101, you may have as little as six months to provide a formal notice of claim, or even less depending on municipal city charters. We move immediately to preserve these deadlines.

The 51% Rule: Modified Comparative Fault

Texas follows a modified-comparative-fault system. Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.33.htm#33.001), you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the crash. If a jury finds you 20% at fault because you were slightly over the speed limit, but the other driver was 80% at fault for running a stop sign, your total recovery is simply reduced by 20%. Our goal is to use evidence like black-box data and witness testimony to anchor the other driver’s fault at 100%.

The Insurance Industry’s Playbook vs. Lupe Peña’s Insider Knowledge

If you have already received a call from an adjuster for State Farm, Allstate, or Progressive, you have likely heard a friendly voice asking for a “simple recorded statement.” Our associate attorney, Lupe Peña, spent years on the other side of these phone calls. He knows that the “friendly” adjuster is actually running a protocol designed to sabotage your case before it begins.

The MIST Protocol

Major carriers use MIST (Minor Impact Soft Tissue) programs to triage Jolly claims. If your bumper only has a scratch, the carrier’s software automatically flags the case for denial. They will hire a biomechanical engineer to testify that “the forces involved were no greater than a sneeze” and that it is biologically impossible for you to be hurt.

Lupe and Ralph Manginello know how to defeat this. We cite the physics of “delta-V” and occupant kinematics. We point to the “Eggshell Plaintiff” doctrine, established in Texas case law like Coates v. Whittington, which mandates that the defendant takes the victim as they find them. If you had a pre-existing degenerative disc that was asymptomatic but became a source of agonizing pain after a Jolly fender bender, the law says the driver who hit you is responsible for that symptomatic worsening.

The Lowball Offer

The first offer you receive from an insurance company for a Jolly crash will typically be 15% to 30% of the case’s actual value. They hope you are desperate for a quick check to pay your deductible or cover a week of lost wages. Ralph has spent over a quarter-century teaching clients that the true value of a case isn’t found in the first week; it’s found after you have reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). We have recovered multi-million dollar settlements—often in the $1.5M to $9.8M range for brain injuries—because we refuse to settle for the carrier’s initial “nuisance value” offers.

Deep Dive into Jolly Collision Subtypes

Every crash in Jolly is different, but the physics and the law follow predictable patterns. Whether you were hit in a parking lot or on the open highway, we apply the specific statutes of the Texas Transportation Code to build your case.

Rear-End Collisions on US-287

The high speed-differential on US-287 makes rear-end collisions particularly deadly. Tex. Transp. Code § 545.062 requires every driver to maintain an “assured clear distance.” In Jolly, we frequently see crashes caused by distracted drivers who fail to notice traffic slowing for the Henrietta or Wichita Falls transitions.

Under the doctrine established in Wright v. McAdams Lumber Co., there is a legal presumption of negligence against the driver who hits you from behind. The other driver’s insurance will try to rebut this by claiming you made a “sudden stop,” but our firm uses Event Data Recorder (EDR) “black box” downloads to prove you were braking reasonably and the defendant was simply following too closely.

18-Wheeler and Commercial Vehicle Wrecks

Jolly is a transit hub for 18-wheelers. When an 80,000-pound truck collides with a 4,000-pound car, the car always loses. Ralph Manginello is admitted to federal court and understands the complex layers of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations under 49 CFR.

We don’t just look at the crash; we look at the driver’s Electronic Logging Device (ELD) to see if they were driving over their hours-of-service limits (49 CFR § 395). We look at their Driver Qualification File to see if they should have even been hired. Under federal law 49 CFR § 387, these trucks must carry at least $750,000 to $5 million in coverage. We go after every penny of that coverage tower, including the MCS-90 endorsement that ensures you get paid even if the trucking company’s insurance policy has technical exclusions.

Sideswipe and Lane-Change Incidents

On the multi-lane stretches of US-287 near Jolly, sideswipes are common. Tex. Transp. Code § 545.060 mandates that drivers stay in their lane until a move can be made safely. If a delivery truck from a company like FedEx, UPS, or an Amazon DSP contractor drifted into your lane because the driver was checking their GPS, they have violated the law. We subpoena the driver’s cell phone records and the company’s internal telematics to prove they were distracted.

Parking Lot and Low-Speed Front-End Hits

While many attorneys won’t take “parking lot cases,” we know that a slow-speed T-bone or backing accident in a Jolly parking lot can still cause a Grade II cervical sprain or a concussion. Even if the crash happens on private property, the common-law rules of negligence apply. We move fast to preserve surveillance footage from local Jolly businesses before it is overwritten—usually within 7 to 30 days.

The Biomechanics of Your Injury

A motor vehicle accident is a transfer of energy. When a car stops suddenly, your internal organs and skeletal structures keep moving. We use clinical precision to represent your medical reality.

Whiplash and the Cervical Spine

Cervical Acceleration-Deceleration (CAD), commonly called whiplash, happens in four phases lasting less than 300 milliseconds. Your neck forms an “S-curve” that loads the C5-C6 vertebrae at levels far exceeding the 4.5G cervical injury threshold. Even if you don’t feel pain immediately, the inflammatory cascade peaks 24 to 72 hours later. We guide our Jolly clients through the Quebec Task Force WAD I-IV grading system to ensure their medical records reflect objective findings like palpable spasms and loss of range of motion.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Concussion

You do not have to hit your head to have a brain injury. Rotational acceleration can cause “diffuse axonal injury”—a microscopic shearing of nerve fibers in the brain. If you have been feeling “in a fog,” dizzy, or irritable since your wreck in Jolly, you may have an mTBI (mild Traumatic Brain Injury). We work with neuropsychologists who use standardized batteries like ImPACT and C3 Logix to prove these “invisible” injuries to insurance adjusters who want to dismiss your symptoms as “subjective.”

Spinal Disc Herniations (The “Pop”)

The L4-L5 and L5-S1 lumbar discs are the most common injury sites in Jolly rear-end wrecks. When the impact occurs, the vertical load can cause the disc material to “extrude” or “sequestrate,” impinging on nerve roots and causing the lightning-bolt pain of sciatica. Insurance adjusters love to call this “normal aging,” but Lupe Peña knows how to use your prior medical history to show that your sympotoms are a direct result of the crash’s mechanical force.

The Financial Math of Maximum Recovery

What is your Jolly motor vehicle accident case worth? This is the question every client asks, and the answer lies in the interaction of multiple Texas statutes.

Paid-or-Incurred: The Haygood Rule

Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.41.htm#41.0105), you can only recover the amount of medical bills “actually paid or incurred.” The insurance company will try to use the discounts negotiated by your health insurance to lower your total damages. We build strategies to protect your right to full compensation, ensuring that “write-offs” don’t become a windfall for the driver who hit you.

18% Prompt Pay Interest

If we are dealing with your own insurance company for a Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) claim, they are on a clock. Under Tex. Ins. Code § 542.060, if they miss their investigation or payment deadlines, they may owe you 18% statutory interest plus your attorney fees. We monitor every Jolly UM/UIM claim with a calendar and a calculator, making sure the carrier pays for its delays.

The Stowers Doctrine: Our Secret Weapon

Since 1929, Texas law has recognized the Stowers doctrine. If we send a clear, reasonable demand for the insurance policy limits and the carrier rejects it, the carrier “opens” the policy. If a jury in Clay County later awards a verdict for $1 million on a $30,000 policy, the carrier—not the driver—may be liable for the full million because they failed to settle when they had the chance. Ralph Manginello is a master of the Stowers demand, creating massive leverage for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jolly MVA Claims

1. How long do I have to sue after a wreck in Jolly?
Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003, you usually have two years. However, if a city or county vehicle is involved, you may have as little as 90 days or 6 months to provide notice under the TTCA § 101.101. Missing that notice can end your case before it starts.

2. Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance adjuster?
No. Never. They are trained to trick you into downplaying your injuries. Let Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense insider, handle them for you.

3. What is PIP and do I need it?
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a no-fault coverage under Tex. Ins. Code § 1952.101. It pays your medical bills and 80% of lost wages immediately, regardless of who caused the wreck. Every Texan should have it, and we help you collect it without it reducing your settlement from the other driver.

4. How does the 18% prompt pay rule work?
If your own carrier (like State Farm or Geico) delays your UM/UIM claim, Tex. Ins. Code § 542.060 requires them to pay 18% per-annum interest on the unpaid amount from the date they should have paid. On a $50,000 claim delayed six months, that is thousands of dollars in penalties they owe you.

5. Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?
Yes, as long as you are 50% or less at fault. This is the modified comparative fault rule of § 33.001. If you are 20% at fault, you get 80% of your damages.

6. What if the driver who hit me fled the scene?
A hit-and-run is a felony in Texas (Tex. Transp. Code § 550.021). We use your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage to pay your claim. Even if there was no contact (the “phantom vehicle”), we can recover if we have an independent witness to corroborate what happened.

7. Is Jolly a good venue for my case?
Jolly cases are typically heard in the 97th District Court in Clay County. While rural counties can be conservative, our 27+ years of experience has shown that Clay County juries value truth and fairness, especially when we prove gross negligence in a trucking or DWI case.

8. What is “Maximum Medical Improvement”?
MMI is the point where a doctor says your condition is stable. We do not settle cases before MMI because we need to know if you will need future surgeries or face permanent disabilities. Settling too early is the #1 way clients lose money.

9. How do you handle hospital liens?
Texas Property Code § 55 allows Jolly area hospitals to file a lien on your settlement. We negotiate these statutory liens down—frequently by 30% to 60%—so you keep more of your money.

10. What if I missed a month of work?
We recover “past lost wages” and “future loss of earning capacity.” Under the Big Bend Telephone standard, we use economists to prove exactly what you would have earned if the crash hadn’t happened.

11. Does my immigration status matter?
No. Texas tort law protects everyone regardless of their status. Your status is irrelevant to the liability of the driver who hit you. Lupe Peña handles these concerns with complete confidentiality.

12. Why do you mention the “Haygood Rule”?
We mention it because it’s a trap. Carriers use § 41.0105 to only pay you for “net” medical bills. We fight to ensure that the pain and suffering calculation reflects the full trauma you experienced, not just the discounted medical charges.

13. What proof points distinguish your firm?
Managing partner Ralph Manginello has 27+ years of experience, is federal court admitted, and handled the BP refinery litigation. Associate Lupe Peña was an insurance defense lawyer. We have multi-million dollar results and hundreds of 5-star reviews.

14. What is a “Stowers” demand?
It is a formal demand letter that satisfies specific legal criteria to force an insurance company to settle. If they reject it and a jury awards more, the company must pay the whole amount, even if it exceeds the policy limits.

15. How do you prove “Gross Negligence” for punitive damages?
Under § 41.001(11), we must show the driver knew they were creating an extreme risk and didn’t care. DWI, texting at highway speeds, and 18-wheelers violating sleep rules are our primary targets for punitive damages.

16. What is “Loss of Consortium”?
This is a claim for the spouse and children of an injured person for the loss of companionship, help around the house, and affection. Texas law in Whittlesey v. Miller and Reagan v. Vaughn recognizes these as separate damages.

17. What if the crash was caused by a mechanical failure?
If a tire blew out or ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance) failed, we pursue a product liability claim under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 82 against the manufacturer.

18. Do you take “low-speed” Jolley crashes?
Yes. We have demonstrated through biomechanical science that even a 5 mph “tap” can cause a permanent disc injury or a TBI. We have sitting insurers’ playbooks on these cases.

19. What is a “responsible third party”?
Under § 33.004, the defense can blame someone not even in the lawsuit. We investigate and join all responsible parties early to ensure they can’t hide behind an “empty chair.”

20. Will I have to go to court?
Most cases in Jolly settle pre-trial, but we prepare every case as if it is going to a jury. That preparation is why the settlements are higher. Carriers only pay full value when they fear the trial.

21. How do you recover for “Mental Anguish”?
Under the Parkway v. Woodruff standard, we must prove a “high degree of mental pain.” We use journals, family testimony, and therapy records to document the emotional toll of the crash.

22. Can I get a rental car?
We pursue “Loss of Use” damages. Texas law says you are entitled to the rental value of your car while it’s being fixed, even if you don’t actually rent one.

23. What if I was an Uber or Lyft passenger in Jolly?
Texas Insurance Code Chapter 1954 mandates $1 million in coverage for rideshare trips. We have successfully litigated these “Period 3” cases many times.

24. How do you handle “Black Box” data?
We send a spoliation letter within 7 days. This legally forbids the other side from destroying the data. Then we download the speed, braking, and steering logs.

25. What is “Vicarious Liability”?
If a driver was working for a company like Halliburton or a local Jolly ranch when they hit you, the company is responsible for their negligence under “respondeat superior.”

26. How do you value “Physical Impairment”?
This is separate from pain. It’s the loss of the ability to do what you love—play with your kids, go hunting, or garden. The Golden Eagle Archery case says you get paid separately for this.

27. What if my car was totaled?
The carrier must pay Actual Cash Value (ACV). We use independent appraisers to fight the carrier’s low market-value estimates and secure sales tax reimbursement.

28. Why should I choose the Manginello Law Firm?
Because we have sitting insurance defense knowledge, federal trial experience, and a 27-year track record of winning against Fortune 500 companies.

29. Is my consultation free?
Yes. Always. We will listen to your story, review your CR-3, and give you an honest assessment at no cost.

30. When should I call?
Now. The first 48 hours are critical for evidence preservation. Traffic cameras, ELD logs, and witness memories fade fast. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now.

Taking the First Step Toward Recovery in Jolly

You did not ask for this crash. You did not ask for the hospital visits or the sleepless nights worrying about your finances. But now that it has happened, you have a choice. You can let the insurance company run its MIST playbook, or you can hire a firm that helped write it.

Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña are ready to fight for your family in Jolly. We understand the high-speed risks of US-287 and the legal complexities of the 97th District Court. We pursue every pathway—from the driver’s BI policy to your own UM/UIM and first-party coverages—to ensure that not a single dollar of your claim is left on the table.

Call us 24/7 at 1-888-ATTY-911 or email ralph@atty911.com. Your consultation is free, and you pay us nothing until we win your case.

La Guía Definitiva Para Reclamos de Accidentes de Auto en Jolly, Texas

Si usted está leyendo esto mientras está en una cama de hospital en United Regional en Wichita Falls o lidiando con el dolor persistente de una lesión en el cuello días después de un choque en la carretera US-287 en Jolly, entendemos lo que está pasando por su mente. Un accidente de auto es una interrupción violenta. En los segundos que tarda un conductor distraído en no ver una luz de freno o que un camión de 18 ruedas se salga de su carril en el condado de Clay, su vida cambia de rutinas normales a un laberinto caótico de facturas médicas, ajustadores de seguros y limitaciones físicas.

Somos Attorney 911 / The Manginello Law Firm. Durante más de 27 años, Ralph Manginello ha sido un defensor probado en juicios para tejanos heridos, aportando experiencia en cortes federales a cada caso que manejamos. Nos hemos enfrentado a algunas de las entidades más grandes del mundo, incluyendo BP después de la explosión de la refinería en Texas City, y hemos recuperado millones de dólares para familias de víctimas con lesiones cerebrales traumáticas y muertes injustas.

Cuando llama al 1-888-ATTY-911, no solo obtiene un abogado; obtiene una ventaja interna. Nuestro equipo incluye a Lupe Peña, un exabogado de defensa de seguros que una vez escribió el mismo manual de tácticas que la compañía de seguros está usando contra usted ahora mismo. Sabemos cómo se calcula el valor de una lesión y sabemos exactamente cómo desmantelar sus defensas para obtener la compensación máxima que permite la ley de Texas.

La Realidad de los Choques en Jolly y el Condado de Clay

Jolly se encuentra en un punto crítico del comercio del norte de Texas. La carretera US-287 es la arteria principal de esta región, sirviendo como un corredor de alta velocidad para quienes viajan entre Wichita Falls y el área de Dallas-Fort Worth, y como ruta para camiones de carga pesada. En nuestra experiencia, los choques en Jolly suelen tener una gravedad mayor que los que ocurren en el tráfico urbano lento. Los impactos de alta velocidad producen fuerzas que el cuerpo humano nunca fue diseñado para absorber.

Cuando ocurre un choque en Jolly, la respuesta de emergencia suele involucrar a la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Clay o al Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas (DPS). Debido a que Jolly es una comunidad pequeña, las lesiones graves casi siempre se envían al United Regional en Wichita Falls. Coordinamos estrechamente con estos proveedores médicos para asegurar que cada parte de su lesión—desde el daño celular en una conmoción hasta la falla estructural de un disco espinal—esté documentada para su reclamo legal.

Sus Derechos Bajo la Ley de Texas

Las compañías de seguros quieren que usted crea que “un accidente es solo un accidente” y que ellos se “encargarán de todo.” Esto es un error peligroso. La industria de seguros es una empresa impulsada por las ganancias que ve su lesión como una deuda que debe minimizarse. Usted tiene derechos específicos bajo el Código de Prácticas y Remedios Civiles de Texas, y estamos aquí para hacerlos valer.

Conforme al Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 (que establece el plazo de prescripción de dos años para reclamos de lesiones personales en Texas, contados desde la fecha del accidente), generalmente tiene exactamente dos años para presentar una demanda. Sin embargo, si el vehículo culpable pertenecía a una entidad gubernamental, el plazo para notificar puede ser de solo seis meses bajo el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.101 (que requiere una notificación formal de reclamo contra el gobierno antes de demandar).

Texas sigue un sistema de culpa comparativa modificada. Según el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001 (que impide la recuperación si la responsabilidad del demandante es mayor al 50%), usted puede recuperar daños siempre que no sea más del 50% responsable del choque. Nuestro objetivo es usar evidencia como los datos de la “caja negra” y testimonios de testigos para fijar la culpa del otro conductor al 100%.

El Manual de las Aseguradoras Contra el Conocimiento de Lupe Peña

Si ya recibió una llamada de un ajustador de State Farm, Allstate o Progressive, probablemente escuchó una voz amable pidiendo una “declaración grabada simple.” Nuestro abogado asociado, Lupe Peña, pasó años del otro lado de esas llamadas. Él sabe que el ajustador no es su amigo y está siguiendo un protocolo diseñado para sabotear su caso.

Las aseguradoras usan programas llamados MIST (Impacto Mínimo – Tejido Blando) para rechazar reclamos o pagar lo menos posible. Si su auto solo tiene un rasguño, ellos dirán que es imposible que usted esté herido. Lupe y Ralph Manginello saben cómo derrotar esto. Usamos la ciencia de la biomecánica y la doctrina del “Demandante de Cáscara de Huevo” establecida en el caso Coates v. Whittington, que dice que el culpable es responsable de empeorar cualquier condición que usted ya tenía antes del choque.

Biomecánica de su Lesión

Un accidente de auto es una transferencia de energía violenta. Incluso si no siente dolor de inmediato, el proceso inflamatorio alcanza su punto máximo de 24 a 72 horas después. Lo guiamos a través de la escala de la Fuerza de Tarea de Quebec (WAD I-IV) para asegurar que sus registros médicos reflejen hallazgos objetivos como espasmos palpables y pérdida de movimiento.

Las lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (TBI) y las conmociones cerebrales son muy comunes en choques de Jolly debido a las altas velocidades. No tiene que golpearse la cabeza para tener una lesión cerebral. Las fuerzas de rotación pueden causar daño a nivel celular. Trabajamos con neuropsicólogos para demostrar estas lesiones “invisibles” a los ajustadores que quieren decir que sus síntomas son “solo estrés.”

El Valor de su Caso y las Leyes de Compensación

¿Cuánto vale su caso en Jolly? La respuesta depende de varias leyes de Texas que manejamos con precisión.

Bajo el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105 (que limita la recuperación de gastos médicos a las cantidades realmente pagadas o incurridas, regla conocida como el caso Haygood), solo puede recuperar lo que el seguro médico realmente pagó al hospital, no el monto total facturado inicialmente. Construimos estrategias para que esta regla no sea una ventaja para el conductor culpable.

Si su propia compañía de seguros de auto retrasa su reclamo, el Tex. Ins. Code § 542.060 (que impone una multa por falta de pago rápido de reclamos) requiere que le paguen un 18% de interés anual adicional, más los honorarios de su abogado. Monitoreamos estos plazos con rigor.

También usamos la Doctrina Stowers (el deber de la aseguradora de aceptar demandas razonables dentro de los límites de la póliza). Si la aseguradora rechaza una oferta justa y luego un jurado otorga una cantidad mayor, la aseguradora puede ser responsable de pagar todo el veredicto, no solo el límite de la póliza.
