The Authoritative Guide to Motor Vehicle Accident Law in Ingram, Texas

You were driving down State Highway 27, perhaps heading toward the Guadalupe River for a weekend or just finishing a shift in Kerrville. The sun was setting over the Hill Country ridges, and traffic was moving steadily along Ingram’s Junction Highway. Then, in a split second, the sound of screeching tires and the violent jolt of metal-on-metal changed everything. If you are reading this, you or someone you love has likely been involved in a collision in or near the City of Ingram. Your heart is racing, your neck is beginning to stiffen, and you are wondering what happens next.

We are Attorney 911 / The Manginello Law Firm, and we have spent over logic-testing decades fighting for people exactly in your position. Since 1998, Ralph Manginello — a trial-tested advocate admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas — has taken on the world’s largest corporate giants and won. From litigating against BP after the catastrophic Texas City refinery explosion to our current $10 million lawsuit against a major university for fraternity hazing, we don’t back down. We serve Ingram and Kerr County families with a level of specificity and aggression that insurance companies recognize and fear.

An accident in a place like Ingram presents unique challenges. You isn’t just dealing with a “personal injury”; you’re dealing with the specific traffic patterns of the Texas Hill Country, the carrier tactics used against neighbors in Kerr County, and the medical realities of being transported to Peterson Regional Medical Center or a Level I trauma center in San Antonio. Our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who knows every underhanded trick the carriers used to use — because he watched them write the playbook. Now, he uses that insider knowledge against them for you.

You’ll find no generic advice here. This is a comprehensive roadmap for Ingram motor vehicle accident victims, covering everything from minor fender benders to catastrophic commercial truck crashes. We speak plain English, we cite the exact Texas statutes that protect you, and through Lupe Peña, hablamos Español and handle every case personally. You pay us nothing unless we win your case. Not a retainer, not an investigation fee, not a penny. We advance every cost because we believe in the strength of your claim.

The Reality of Crashes in Ingram and Kerr County

Kerr County is the heart of the Hill Country, and Ingram is its gateway. While the scenery is beautiful, the roads here present significant dangers. Traffic on State Highway 27 (Junction Highway) and State Highway 39 often involves a mix of local commuters, heavy agricultural equipment, and tourists unfamiliar with the winding ridges. When you add the high-speed corridors of Interstate 10 running through Kerrville just to our east, the results can be devastating.

According to data from the TxDOT Crash Records Information System (C.R.I.S.), Kerr County sees hundreds of crashes annually. In a rural-suburban mix like Ingram, the most dangerous corridors often include:

  • State Highway 27 (Junction Highway): The primary arterial through Ingram. High volumes of turning traffic and inconsistent following distances lead to frequent rear-end collisions.
  • State Highway 39: Winding and narrow in sections, this road sees significant sideswipe and run-off-roadway events, especially during tourist season.
  • The I-10 Corridor (Kerrville/Ingram accessibility): High-speed 18-wheeler traffic and merging passenger vehicles create high-energy impacts that often result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.

If you are involved in a serious crash in Ingram, EMS usually routes you to Peterson Regional Medical Center in Kerrville for initial stabilization. However, for catastrophic neurological or orthopedic trauma, victims are often airlifted via helicopter to Level I trauma centers in San Antonio, such as University Hospital or Methodist Hospital.

We know these facilities. We know how to coordinate with their medical records departments and how to speak the language of their trauma surgeons to document your injuries with the precision needed to defeat an insurance adjuster’s “no injury” claim.

Normalizing the Aftermath: Why You Feel Fine Now but Won’t Tomorrow

One of the most common mistakes we see Ingram residents make is telling the responding officer from the Ingram Police Department or the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office, “I’m fine.”

You aren’t trying to be dishonest; you are experiencing a biological surge of adrenaline and endorphins. This is the “fight or flight” response. It masks pain, suppresses inflammation temporarily, and allows you to function in a crisis. But the biology of trauma is clear: inflammation of the paraspinal muscles and the cervical spine typically peaks between 24 and 72 hours after the impact.

If you were rear-ended at the light where SH 27 meets SH 39, your car might only have minor bumper damage. The insurance adjuster will call you within 48 hours — before your pain has even peaked — and offer you $1,000 or $2,500 to “close the file.” They want you to sign a release before the MRI reveals the C5-C6 disc herniation that is currently hidden by your adrenaline.

At Attorney 911, we’ve recovered multi-million dollar settlements for clients who initially thought they were “sore but okay.” For example, traumatic brain injury (TBI) settlements in our history typically range from $1.5 million to $9.8 million depending on the specifics. Don’t let a 48-hour adrenaline window cost you a lifetime of medical coverage.

The Enemy in the Room: The Insurance Industry’s Ingram Playbook

Why do you need an attorney who specializes in Texas MVA law? Because you are up against a multi-billion-dollar industry that views your injury as a line-item expense to be minimized. In Ingram and across the Hill Country, we see the same carriers: State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, Geico, and USAA. Many Kerr County residents also deal with Texas Farm Bureau.

These companies use sophisticated software programs to triage your claim. Lupe Peña, our associate attorney and former insurance defense insider, has seen these from the other side.

  • Allstate uses CCPR (Casualty Claim Process Re-engineering). This program, designed by McKinsey, was built to aggressively triage “low-impact” claims into a track where adjusters are essentially forbidden from paying fair value regardless of the medical evidence.
  • State Farm uses the ACE protocol. It focuses on “Minor Impact Soft Tissue” (MIST) flagging. Under ACE, if your repair bill is under a certain threshold — often $1,500 to $2,500 — your injury claim is automatically viewed as fraudulent or non-existent.

They hire “independent” biomechanical experts who will testify that “the g-forces in this SH 27 collision were no greater than sitting down hard in a chair.” We know how to cross-examine these people. We know the peer-reviewed medical literature that proves whiplash occurs at speeds as low as 5 mph. While Ralph Manginello brings 27+ years of trial aggression, Lupe translates the carrier’s internal codes into a roadmap for your victory.

Impact Subtypes: How Your Ingram Crash Happened Matters

Every collision is unique, but physics is constant. The way you were hit in Ingram determines the legal presumptions that apply to your case.

Rear-End Collisions: The Assured Clear Distance Rule

Under Tex. Transp. Code § 545.062, an operator must maintain an “assured clear distance” to safely stop without colliding. In Texas, there is a powerful legal inference (often called the Wright v. McAdams Lumber Co. presumption) that the rear driver was negligent. If you were hit from behind while stopped at a light on Junction Highway, the liability is essentially clear. The battle will be over the value of your injuries.

Intersection Collisions and T-Bones

Ingram’s intersections, particularly where the various Hill Country roads converge, are prime spots for failure-to-yield accidents. Tex. Transp. Code § 545.151 and § 545.152 govern right-of-way. If a driver turned left across your path or ran a red light, they violated a statutory duty. These cases often involve severe side-impact trauma because modern cars have much less protection on the doors than in the front or rear crumple zones.

Commercial Vehicles and 18-Wheelers

If you are hit by a commercial truck on the I-10 outskirts of Ingram, you aren’t just dealing with Texas law; you are dealing with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and 49 CFR § 390. These companies carry massive policies, but they also have rapid-response teams that arrive at the scene before the cars are even towed. They start “cleaning” evidence immediately. We send formal spoliation letters within 7 days of being retained to lock down the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data and in-cab camera footage.

The Biomechanics of Pain: What Happned to Your Body

When an 80,000-pound truck hits a 4,000-pound passenger car, the mass ratio is 20:1. The kinetic energy formula (KE = ½mv²) shows that the truck carries 16.5 times the destructive energy of the car at identical speeds and is nearly always lethal. But even in a low-speed Ingram fender bender, your body undergoes violent changes.

Whiplash (Cervical Acceleration-Deceleration)

In the first 300 milliseconds of a rear-end impact, your torso is accelerated forward by the car seat while your head stays in place due to inertia. Your cervical spine forms an “S-curve” that exceeds its physical limits. This often results in “Grade II” or “Grade III” injuries on the Quebec Task Force WAD scale. Even if you don’t feel it immediately, the ligaments in your neck may have micro-tearing that leads to chronic, lifelong pain.

Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

You don’t have to hit your head to have a brain injury. The sloshing of the brain inside the skull — a coup-contrecoup mechanism — can shear axons (nerve fibers) at a microscopic level. If you experienced “brain fog,” dizziness, or a sudden change in mood after your Ingram crash, you need a neurological workup immediately. Our results for TBI victims frequently fall in the $1.5M to $9.8M range precisely because we know how to prove these “invisible” injuries.

The “Eggshell Plaintiff” Doctrine

The insurance company will try to tell you that your back pain is just “old age” or “pre-existing degenerative disc disease.” Under the Texas doctrine of Coates v. Whittington, that doesn’t matter. We take the plaintiff as we find them. If you had a stable, pain-free back before the crash, and the crash aggravated that condition, the at-fault driver is 100% responsible for the symptomatic worsening.

The Legal Framework: Texas Statutes and Your Rights

Navigating the Texas legal system requires precision. At Attorney 911, we anchor every case in the literal text of the law.

The Two-Year Deadline

Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003, you have exactly two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline by one day, your claim is gone forever. This is why we urge you to call 1-888-ATTY-911 as soon as possible.

Modified Comparative Fault

Texas follows Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001. This is the “51% Bar” rule. You can recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the crash, as long as your fault is 50% or less. If a jury finds you 20% at fault, your recovery is reduced by 20%. But if you are 51% at fault, you get zero. We fight to keep your percentage at zero by reconstructing the accident using black-box data and witness testimony.

Paid-or-Incurred: The Haygood Rule

One of the most complex parts of Texas law is Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105, known as the Haygood v. de Escabedo rule. In Texas, you can only recover the medical expenses that were “actually paid or incurred.” This means if your hospital billed $50,000 but accepted $10,000 from your insurance, the jury only ever hears about the $10,000. This is a common trap insurance adjusters use to lowball victims. We know how to navigate this math to ensure your non-economic damages (pain and suffering) remain high.

How We Build Your Case in Ingram

When you hire Ralph Manginello and the team at Attorney 911, we start a multi-layered investigation immediately.

  1. The CR-3 Crash Report: We pull the Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report filed by the Kerr County Sheriff or DPS.
  2. EDR (Black Box) Recovery: Modern cars are computers on wheels. We download data showing your speed, braking, and steering in the five seconds before impact.
  3. The Stowers Demand: This is a uniquely powerful Texas tool. If we send a demand letter meeting the specific requirements of G.A. Stowers Furniture Co. v. American Indemnity Co. (1929), and the insurance company refuses to pay a reasonable amount within policy limits, they may be liable for the entire judgment at trial, even if it exceeds the policy.
  4. Lupe’s Insider Review: Every offer from a carrier like State Farm or Geico is run by Lupe Peña. He checks it against the internal MIST protocols he used to defend. If they are lowballing you by 70%, Lupe will see the signature in their math.

The Money Math: What is Your Case Actually Worth?

There is no “calculator” for an Ingram accident. Every case depends on your specific injury, the identity of the defendant, and the county where we file. Kerr County can be a mixed venue, but we aren’t limited to it. Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 15.002, venue can often be established in the county where the defendant resides or has their principal place of business. This strategic analysis is why we have offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont — we go where your recovery is maximized.

Past and Future Damages

We pursue both economic and non-economic damages:

  • Economic: Medical bills (paid-or-incurred), lost wages, and loss of future earning capacity.
  • Non-Economic: Physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, and physical impairment.
  • Exemplary (Punitive) Damages: In cases of gross negligence — like a drunk driver with a high BAC on SH 27 — we seek damages intended to punish the defendant. Texas caps these under § 41.008, but there are exceptions for intoxication manslaughter and other felonies.

Worked Example Table: The Value of Representation

Type of Claim Carrier’s First “MIST” Offer our Negotiated Settlement
Soft-Tissue Rear-End $1,500 $25,000 – $65,000
Herniated Disc (C5-C6) $8,000 $150,000 – $450,000
TBI / Concussion $5,000 $1,500,000 – $9,800,000*
Amputation / Catastrophic Denial $1,900,000 – $8,600,000*

*Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Do I really need a lawyer for a fender bender in Ingram?
Yes. As one client, Mongo Slade, put it: “I was rear-ended and the team got right to work with my medical issues… I also got a very nice settlement.” Insurance companies use small crashes to minimize big injuries. If you have any pain, you need a professional to ensure your medical rights are protected.

2. How much does Attorney 911 charge upfront?
Zero. We work on a contingency fee basis. Our standard is 33⅓% if we settle before trial and 40% if we go to court. We advance all costs for experts, investigators, and record retrieval. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing.

3. What if I was partially at fault at the SH 27 intersection?
Under Texas § 33.001, as long as you were 50% or less at fault, you can still recover. We fight to prove the other driver’s fault was dominant.

4. How long does the process take?
Most motor vehicle accident cases settle within 6 to 18 months. However, if a trucking company is involve or if we need to file a lawsuit to get fair value, it can take longer. We never rush a settlement at the expense of your full recovery value.

5. What is the “18% Penalty” I keep hearing about?
Under Tex. Ins. Code § 542.060, if an insurer (usually your own on a PIP or UM claim) fails to comply with prompt-pay deadlines, they must pay 18% annual interest on the claim amount plus your attorney fees. We hammer carriers whose delay tactics violate this statute.

6. I was hit by a drunk driver near a bar on SH 39. Is the bar liable?
Potentially. Under Tex. Alc. Bev. Code § 2.02 (the Texas Dram Shop Act), a bar can be held liable if they served a patron who was “obviously intoxicated” and that patron then caused a crash.

7. Can I still sue if the other driver had no insurance?
Yes. We check your own policy for Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage. Most people in Ingram have this but don’t know how to trigger it. We also investigate the defendant’s personal assets.

8. What if a city bus or government vehicle hit me in Ingram?
This triggers the Texas Tort Claims Act (TTCA). Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.101, you must give the government formal notice of the claim within 6 months. Many cities have even shorter charter deadlines (some as low as 30-90 days). If you miss this, your case is dead. Call us immediately.

9. Why should I choose the Manginello Law Firm?
As Chad Harris, one of our clients, stated: “You are NOT a pest to them… You are FAMILY to them and they protect and fight for you as such.” We combine Fortune 500 litigation experience (like our work against BP) with the personal touch of a boutique firm.

10. Do I have to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance?
No. In fact, you should never do this without our counsel present. They are trained to lead you into saying things that trap you under the comparative fault statutes.

La Guía Definitiva sobre la Ley de Accidentes Automovilísticos en Ingram, Texas

Usted conducía por la carretera estatal 27, tal vez dirigiéndose al río Guadalupe para pasar un fin de semana o simplemente terminando un turno en Kerrville. El sol se ponía sobre las crestas de Hill Country y el tráfico se movía de manera constante a lo largo de Junction Highway en Ingram. Luego, en una fracción de segundo, el sonido del chirrido de las llantas y el impacto violento de metal contra metal lo cambió todo. Si está leyendo esto, es probable que usted o un ser querido se haya visto involucrado en una colisión en la ciudad de Ingram o sus alrededores. Su corazón late con fuerza, su cuello comienza a entumecerse y se pregunta qué sigue ahora.

Somos Attorney 911 / The Manginello Law Firm, y hemos pasado más de dos décadas de experiencia real luchando por personas que se encuentran exactamente en su situación. Desde 1998, Ralph Manginello — un abogado con experiencia en juicios admitido en el Tribunal de Distrito de los EE. UU. para el Distrito Sur de Texas — se ha enfrentado a los gigantes corporativos más grandes del mundo y ha ganado. Desde litigar contra BP después de la catastrófica explosión de la refinería de Texas City hasta nuestra demanda actual de $10 millones contra una universidad importante por novatadas en una fraternidad, nosotros no retrocedemos ante nadie. Servimos a las familias de Ingram y del condado de Kerr con un nivel de especificidad y agresividad que las compañías de seguros reconocen y temen.

Un accidente en un lugar como Ingram presenta desafíos únicos. Usted no solo se enfrenta a una “lesión personal”; se enfrenta a los patrones de tráfico específicos de Texas Hill Country, las tácticas que usan los seguros contra los vecinos del condado de Kerr y las realidades médicas de ser transportado al Peterson Regional Medical Center o a un centro de trauma de Nivel I en San Antonio. Nuestro equipo incluye a Lupe Peña, un ex abogado de defensa de seguros que conoce cada truco sucio que solían usar las aseguradoras — porque él mismo vio cómo escribían el manual de tácticas. Ahora, él usa ese conocimiento interno contra ellos para beneficiarlo a usted.

Aquí no encontrará consejos genéricos. Esta es una hoja de ruta integral para las víctimas de accidentes automovilísticos en Ingram, que cubre todo, desde choques leves hasta accidentes catastróficos de camiones comerciales. Hablamos español nativo a través de Lupe Peña, citamos los estatutos exactos de Texas que lo protegen y manejamos cada caso personalmente. No nos paga nada a menos que ganemos su caso. Ni honorarios por adelantado, ni gastos de investigación, ni un centavo. Nosotros adelantamos todos los costos porque creemos en la fuerza de su reclamo.

La Realidad de los Accidentes en Ingram y el Condado de Kerr

El condado de Kerr es el corazón de Hill Country, e Ingram es su puerta de entrada. Si bien el paisaje es hermoso, las carreteras aquí presentan peligros significativos. El tráfico en la carretera estatal 27 (Junction Highway) y la carretera estatal 39 a menudo involucra una mezcla de conductores locales, equipo agrícola pesado y turistas que no están familiarizados con las curvas de la región. Cuando se suma el tráfico de alta velocidad de la Interestatal 10 que pasa por Kerrville justo al este de nosotros, los resultados pueden ser devastadores.

Según los datos del Sistema de Información de Registros de Accidentes de TxDOT (C.R.I.S.), el condado de Kerr ve cientos de accidentes anualmente. En una mezcla rural-suburbana como Ingram, los corredores más peligrosos a menudo incluyen:

  • Carretera Estatal 27 (Junction Highway): La arteria principal a través de Ingram. Los altos volúmenes de tráfico que gira y las distancias de seguimiento inconsistentes provocan frecuentes choques por atrás.
  • Carretera Estatal 39: Con curvas y secciones estrechas, esta carretera ve choques laterales significativos e incidentes de vehículos que se salen de la carretera, especialmente durante la temporada turística.
  • El Corredor de la I-10 (acceso a Kerrville/Ingram): El tráfico de camiones de 18 ruedas a alta velocidad y los vehículos de pasajeros que intentan incorporarse crean impactos de alta energía que a menudo resultan en lesiones catastróficas o muerte por negligencia.

Si usted se ve involucrado en un accidente grave en Ingram, los servicios de emergencia (EMS) generalmente lo trasladan al Peterson Regional Medical Center en Kerrville para su estabilización inicial. Sin embargo, para traumas neurológicos u ortopédicos catastróficos, las víctimas a menudo son trasladadas en helicóptero a centros de trauma de Nivel I en San Antonio, como University Hospital o Methodist Hospital.

Conocemos estas instalaciones. Sabemos cómo coordinar con sus departamentos de registros médicos y cómo hablar el lenguaje de sus cirujanos de trauma para documentar sus lesiones con la precisión necesaria para derrotar el argumento de “no hay lesión” de un ajustador de seguros.

Normalizando el Después: Por qué se siente bien ahora pero no mañana

Uno de los errores más comunes que vemos que cometen los residentes de Ingram es decirle al oficial de la Policía de Ingram o del Sheriff del Condado de Kerr: “Estoy bien”.

Usted no está tratando de ser deshonesto; está experimentando un aumento biológico de adrenalina y endorfinas. Esta es la respuesta de “lucha o huida”. Enmascara el dolor, suprime la inflamación temporalmente y le permite funcionar en una crisis. Pero la biología del trauma es clara: la inflamación de los músculos paraespinales y la columna cervical suele alcanzar su punto máximo entre 24 y 72 horas después del impacto.

Si lo chocaron por detrás en el semáforo donde la SH 27 se encuentra con la SH 39, su auto podría tener solo daños menores en el parachoques. El ajustador de seguros lo llamará dentro de las 48 horas — antes de que su dolor haya alcanzado su punto máximo — y le ofrecerá $1,000 o $2,500 para “cerrar el archivo”. Quieren que firme un descargo de responsabilidad antes de que la resonancia magnética (MRI) revele la hernia de disco C5-C6 que actualmente está oculta por su adrenalina.

En Attorney 911, hemos recuperado acuerdos de millones de dólares para clientes que inicialmente pensaron que estaban “adoloridos pero bien”. Por ejemplo, los acuerdos por lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (TBI) en nuestra historia suelen oscilar entre $1.5 millones y $9.8 millones, dependiendo de los detalles. No permita que una ventana de adrenalina de 48 horas le cueste una vida de cobertura médica.

El Marco Legal: Estatutos de Texas y sus Derechos

Navegar por el sistema legal de Texas requiere precisión. En Attorney 911, anclamos cada caso en el texto literal de la ley.

El Plazo de Dos Años

Conforme al Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 (que establece el plazo de prescripción para reclamos de lesiones personales en Texas), usted tiene exactamente dos años desde la fecha del accidente para presentar una demanda. Si pierde este plazo por un solo día, su reclamo desaparece para siempre. Es por eso que le instamos a llamar al 1-888-ATTY-911 lo antes posible.

Culpa Comparativa Modificada

Texas sigue el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001 (la regla del límite del 51%). Usted puede recuperar daños incluso si tuvo parte de la culpa del accidente, siempre que su culpa sea del 50% o menos. Si un jurado determina que usted tiene el 20% de la culpa, su recuperación se reduce en un 20%. Pero si tiene el 51% de la culpa, recibe cero. Luchamos para mantener su porcentaje en cero mediante la reconstrucción del accidente utilizando datos de la caja negra y testimonios de testigos.

La Regla Haygood: “Pagado o Incurrido”

Una de las partes más complejas de la ley de Texas es el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105, conocido como la regla de “pagado o incurrido” (o el caso Haygood v. de Escabedo). En Texas, solo puede recuperar los gastos médicos que fueron “realmente pagados o incurridos”. Esto significa que si su hospital facturó $50,000 pero aceptó $10,000 de su seguro, el jurado solo se entera de los $10,000. Esta es una trampa común que los ajustadores de seguros usan para pagar menos a las víctimas. Sabemos cómo navegar estas matemáticas para asegurar que sus daños no económicos (dolor y sufrimiento) sigan siendo altos.

Preguntas Frecuentes (FAQs)

1. ¿Realmente necesito un abogado para un choque menor en Ingram?
Sí. Como dijo un cliente, Mongo Slade: “Me chocaron por detrás y el equipo se puso a trabajar de inmediato con mis problemas médicos… también obtuve un acuerdo muy generoso”. Las compañías de seguros usan accidentes pequeños para minimizar lesiones grandes. Si tiene algún dolor, necesita a un profesional.

2. ¿Cuánto cobra Attorney 911 por adelantado?
Cero. Trabajamos bajo un contrato de honorarios de contingencia. Nuestra norma es el 33⅓% si llegamos a un acuerdo antes del juicio y el 40% si vamos a la corte. Nosotros adelantamos todos los costos. Si no recuperamos dinero para usted, no nos debe nada.

3. ¿Qué pasa si el conductor ebrio salió de un bar en Junction Highway?
Bajo el Tex. Alc. Bev. Code § 2.02 (la Ley de Bares / Dram Shop Act), un establecimiento puede ser responsable si sirvió alcohol a una persona “obviamente intoxicada” que luego causó un accidente.

4. ¿Puedo demandar si el otro conductor no tenía seguro?
Sí. Revisamos su propia póliza para ver si tiene cobertura de Conductor No Asegurado (UM) o Conductor con Seguro Insuficiente (UIM). La mayoría de las personas en Ingram tienen esto pero no saben cómo usarlo.

5. ¿Qué es el interés del 18% del que hablan?
Según el Tex. Ins. Code § 542.060 (la ley de pago puntual), si una aseguradora no cumple con los plazos de pago, debe pagar un interés anual del 18% más sus honorarios de abogado. Nosotros castigamos a las aseguradoras que usan tácticas de retraso ilegales.
