Car Accidents in Levelland, Hockley County, Texas: How Attorney911 Fights for Justice
When Seconds Change Everything: Levelland’s Car Accident Crisis
Every 57 seconds, another car crash shakes Texas. In Levelland and across Hockley County, these collisions aren’t just statistics—they’re life-altering events that leave families struggling with medical bills, lost wages, and physical pain. At Attorney911, we’ve seen firsthand how a single moment on US Highway 385 or Farm to Market Road 1585 can derail lives. With Ralph Manginello’s 25+ years of experience and our team’s unique insurance defense background, we don’t just handle car accident cases—we fight for the justice Levelland families deserve.
The numbers don’t lie: Texas saw 251,977 people injured in motor vehicle crashes last year alone. That’s one person hurt every 2 minutes and 5 seconds. In Hockley County, where rural roads meet growing traffic, the risks are real. Whether you were rear-ended at the intersection of US-385 and SH-114 or sideswiped on a country road, our Levelland car accident attorneys know how to navigate both the legal system and the insurance company tactics designed to minimize your claim.
The Hidden Dangers of Hockley County Roads
Levelland’s roads present unique challenges for drivers:
- US Highway 385: This major north-south corridor sees heavy truck traffic from the region’s oil and agricultural industries, creating dangerous mix zones where passenger vehicles share the road with 18-wheelers
- Farm to Market Road 1585: Rural roads with limited lighting and sudden livestock crossings create unexpected hazards
- SH-114: High-speed highway with dangerous intersections where local traffic meets through traffic
- Downtown Levelland: Congested areas with limited parking and distracted drivers create pedestrian risks
- Country roads: Unpaved sections and sudden weather changes make rural driving treacherous
The Texas Department of Transportation reports that 1 in 4 crashes in rural areas involves a single vehicle running off the road—often due to speed, distraction, or fatigue. In Levelland, where agricultural vehicles share the road with daily commuters, these risks are amplified.
Common Injuries We See in Levelland Car Accidents
The injuries we see from Levelland car accidents range from painful to catastrophic:
Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries
The most common injury, often dismissed by insurance companies as “minor.” Symptoms may not appear for days or weeks after the accident. Without proper documentation, insurance adjusters will try to minimize these claims.
Herniated and Bulging Discs
The force of a collision can cause spinal discs to rupture or bulge, pressing on nerves. This often requires months of physical therapy or even surgery. In one recent case, our client’s disc injury from a rear-end collision led to a multi-million dollar settlement.
Broken Bones and Fractures
From simple fractures to complex breaks requiring surgical intervention, these injuries can keep Levelland residents out of work for months. We’ve seen cases where a broken leg led to complications requiring amputation—just like the case we settled in the millions for a client whose leg injury became infected during treatment.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Even “mild” concussions can have lasting effects. Symptoms may include memory problems, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating. These injuries are particularly devastating for students at South Plains College or workers in the local oil industry.
Spinal Cord Injuries
These life-changing injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis. The lifetime costs of care can exceed millions of dollars. We fight to ensure these costs are covered.
Internal Organ Damage
Often invisible at first, internal bleeding or organ damage can be life-threatening if not treated immediately. Many Levelland residents don’t realize they’re injured until days after the accident.
Psychological Trauma
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects 32-45% of accident victims. The anxiety of getting back in a car or driving past the accident site can be debilitating.
Why Levelland Car Accident Cases Are More Complex Than You Think
Many Levelland residents assume their car accident case will be straightforward. The reality is far more complicated:
Texas’ 51% Comparative Fault Rule
Insurance companies will try to blame you for the accident to reduce their payout. If they can prove you were 51% or more at fault, you get nothing. Even if you’re found 40% at fault, your compensation is reduced by 40%. Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense attorney, knows exactly how insurance companies manipulate this rule—because he used to do it himself.
Multiple Insurance Policies
In many cases, multiple insurance policies may apply:
- The at-fault driver’s liability insurance
- Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Medical payments coverage
- The at-fault driver’s employer’s policy (if they were working)
- Your health insurance (which may seek reimbursement)
Navigating these layers requires expertise that most Levelland residents don’t have.
Evidence Disappears Quickly
Critical evidence vanishes within days:
- Surveillance footage from nearby businesses: typically deleted within 7-30 days
- Witness memories: fade rapidly
- Vehicle damage: repaired or destroyed
- Electronic data from vehicles: can be overwritten
We send preservation letters immediately to prevent this evidence loss.
Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They’ll:
- Offer quick, lowball settlements before you know the full extent of your injuries
- Request recorded statements designed to trap you into saying things that hurt your case
- Send you to their “independent” medical examiners who always find you less injured than you are
- Delay your claim hoping you’ll give up or accept less
How Attorney911 Levels the Playing Field for Levelland Residents
When you’re up against insurance companies with unlimited resources, you need a team that knows their playbook. Here’s how we fight for you:
Immediate Evidence Preservation
Within 24 hours of being hired, we send preservation letters to:
- The at-fault driver’s insurance company
- Any businesses near the accident scene
- The at-fault driver’s employer (if applicable)
- Vehicle manufacturers (if defects are suspected)
These letters legally require them to preserve evidence before it’s deleted.
Thorough Investigation
Our team conducts a comprehensive investigation including:
- Accident scene analysis
- Vehicle damage assessment
- Witness interviews
- Police report review
- Medical record collection
- Electronic data retrieval (black boxes, ELDs, cell phone records)
Medical Expert Coordination
We work with medical experts to:
- Document the full extent of your injuries
- Establish the connection between the accident and your injuries
- Project future medical needs and costs
- Counter insurance company medical examiners
Insurance Company Negotiation
With Lupe Peña’s insider knowledge, we:
- Know how insurance companies value claims (because he used to calculate them)
- Understand their settlement authority limits
- Recognize when they’re bluffing about policy limits
- Know which medical codes trigger higher valuations in their software
Trial Preparation
While most cases settle, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach gives us leverage in negotiations and ensures we’re ready if the insurance company refuses to be reasonable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Levelland Car Accidents
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Levelland?
If you’ve been in an accident in Levelland:
- Call 911 and report the accident
- Seek medical attention even if you feel fine
- Document everything with photos
- Exchange information with the other driver
- Get witness contact information
- Don’t give recorded statements to insurance
- Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911
Should I call the police even for a minor accident?
Yes. Always call the police. In Texas, you must report accidents with injuries, deaths, or property damage over $1,000. The police report is critical evidence for your claim.
Should I seek medical attention if I don’t feel hurt?
Absolutely. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately:
- Traumatic brain injuries can take days to manifest
- Internal bleeding may not be obvious
- Herniated discs may not cause pain for weeks
- Adrenaline masks pain at the scene
Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you. Get checked immediately.
What information should I collect at the scene?
Collect:
- Other driver’s name, phone, address, driver’s license number
- Insurance company and policy number
- Vehicle make, model, color, license plate
- Witness names and phone numbers
- Photos of all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals
- Police officer name, badge number, report number
Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?
Exchange information only. Do NOT:
- Discuss fault
- Apologize or say “I’m sorry” (can be used as admission)
- Give your opinion on what happened
- Speculate about injuries or damage
How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?
In Levelland, you can obtain the police report from the Levelland Police Department or through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS).
Should I give a recorded statement to insurance?
To the other driver’s insurance: NO. Not without an attorney.
To your own insurance: You have a duty to cooperate, but call Attorney911 first. We can advise you on what to say.
What if the other driver’s insurance contacts me?
Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.” Give only basic information (name, date of accident). Do NOT:
- Give recorded statement
- Discuss injuries or fault
- Accept settlement offers
- Sign anything
Do I have to accept the insurance company’s estimate?
No. Their estimate is just an offer. It’s usually far below actual value. Attorney911 fights for what your case is really worth.
Should I accept a quick settlement offer?
NEVER accept settlement before knowing full extent of injuries. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money even if you need surgery later.
What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?
Your own UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage can compensate you. Texas allows inter-policy stacking. Watch our video on UM/UIM claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8
Why does insurance want me to sign a medical authorization?
They want unlimited access to your ENTIRE medical history to find pre-existing conditions to use against you. Never sign without attorney review.
What if I have a pre-existing condition?
You can still recover. If the accident aggravated your pre-existing condition, you’re entitled to compensation for the aggravation. This is called the “eggshell plaintiff” rule.
Do I have a personal injury case?
You may have a case if:
- Someone else was at fault (even partially)
- You suffered injuries or damages
- There is insurance to recover from
Watch our video: “Do I Have a Good Case?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-PMMP5Jims
When should I hire a car accident lawyer?
Immediately. Evidence disappears daily. Insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. Call Attorney911: 1-888-ATTY-911
How much time do I have to file (statute of limitations)?
In Texas: 2 years from date of accident for personal injury, 2 years from date of death for wrongful death. Miss it = case barred forever.
What is comparative negligence and how does it affect me?
Texas uses the 51% bar rule. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover (reduced by your fault %). If 51%+ at fault, you get nothing.
Watch our video: “What Is Comparative Negligence?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzHKY_v9l4
What happens if I was partially at fault?
You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial. But Attorney911 prepares every case AS IF it’s going to trial. That’s what gives us leverage.
Watch our video: “Will Your Case Go to Trial?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed5AnmCMcc
How long will my case take to settle?
Depends on injury severity. We don’t settle until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI). Could be 6 months for minor injuries, 18-24 months for serious injuries.
What is the legal process step-by-step?
- Investigation and evidence gathering
- Medical treatment to MMI
- Demand letter to insurance
- Negotiation
- Lawsuit if necessary
- Discovery
- Mediation
- Trial if needed
Watch our video: “What Is the Process for a Personal Injury Claim?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwzYymneDVs
What is my case worth?
Depends on: injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, permanent impairment, pain and suffering, insurance available. Cases range from $15,000 (soft tissue) to millions (catastrophic injury).
What types of damages can I recover?
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
Can I get compensation for pain and suffering?
Yes. Pain and suffering is a significant component of personal injury cases in Texas. There is NO CAP on pain and suffering (except medical malpractice).
What if I was hit by a government vehicle (city bus, police car, etc.)?
Government claims have special rules. You must file notice within 6 months (much shorter than 2-year statute of limitations). Sovereign immunity protects government entities. Damage caps may apply. These cases are complex—you need experienced attorney. Ralph’s 25+ years includes government litigation. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately—6-month deadline is strict.
What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?
File police report immediately (hit and run is criminal offense). Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies. Surveillance footage is CRITICAL—gas stations, businesses, Ring doorbells, traffic cameras. Most footage deleted 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately. Texas allows UM stacking. We’ve recovered substantial settlements in hit and run cases through UM claims.
What if I’m an undocumented immigrant—can I still file a claim?
YES. Immigration status does NOT affect your right to compensation for injuries. You’re entitled to full recovery regardless of immigration status. Your case is confidential. We’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe is fluent in Spanish. Call 1-888-ATTY-911—we protect your rights and your privacy.
What if the accident happened in a parking lot?
Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies love to argue “parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault” (LIE). We prove fault through: surveillance video, witness statements, damage analysis, traffic patterns. Texas comparative negligence rules apply. We’ve won many parking lot cases with clear liability findings.
What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?
You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them (friend, family member, Uber driver). You’re an innocent victim. Driver’s insurance covers passengers. No comparative fault issues (you weren’t driving). These cases often settle quickly because liability is clear. We handle the difficult conversation so you don’t have to.
How much do car accident lawyers cost?
Attorney911 works on contingency: 33.33% before trial, 40% if trial. You pay nothing upfront. We don’t get paid unless we win.
Watch our video: “How Do Contingency Fees Work?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upcI_j6F7Nc
What does “no fee unless we win” mean?
You pay zero unless we recover money for you. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. We advance all case costs.
How often will I get updates?
Attorney911 provides regular updates. As client Dame Haskett said: “Consistent communication and not one time did i call and not get a clear answer.”
Who will actually handle my case?
At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, not just paralegals. As Chad Harris said: “You are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”
What if I already hired another attorney?
You can switch. As client Greg Garcia said: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.”
Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current lawyer?
YES. You can fire your attorney at any time. If your attorney isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pushing you to settle cheap, you have the right to switch. Attorney911 has taken over many cases from other attorneys. As Greg Garcia said: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.” Call 1-888-ATTY-911 to discuss switching.
What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claims are against YOUR insurance when other driver has no insurance or insufficient insurance. Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would. You need attorney representation. Texas allows inter-policy stacking (combining multiple UM policies). Lupe’s insurance knowledge is critical for maximizing UM/UIM recovery.
How do you calculate pain and suffering?
Most commonly using multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain & suffering. Multiplier depends on: injury severity, permanency, impact on life, clear liability. Example: $100,000 medical × 4 multiplier = $400,000 pain & suffering. Lupe calculated these for years—he knows how to justify higher multipliers.
What if I was hit by a government vehicle?
Government claims have special rules. You must file notice within 6 months (much shorter than 2-year statute of limitations). Sovereign immunity protects government entities. Damage caps may apply. These cases are complex—you need experienced attorney. Ralph’s 25+ years includes government litigation. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately—6-month deadline is strict.
What if the other driver died in the accident?
You can still pursue claim against deceased driver’s estate and insurance. Death doesn’t eliminate liability. Insurance policy still applies. Estate may have assets. Wrongful death laws protect both sides. These cases are emotionally complex but legally straightforward. We handle with sensitivity while protecting your rights.
What if I don’t have health insurance?
We can help you find doctors who will treat you on a lien basis—meaning they get paid from your settlement, not from you upfront. This allows you to get the medical care you need without financial stress.
Can I still recover if I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt?
Yes. Texas law allows recovery even if you weren’t wearing a seatbelt. However, the insurance company may try to reduce your compensation by arguing you contributed to your injuries. We fight these arguments with medical evidence and legal strategy.
What if the accident was partially my fault?
You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would recover $80,000.
How do I know if I need a lawyer?
If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you should at least consult with an attorney. Many people don’t realize how much their case is worth or how insurance companies try to take advantage of them. The consultation is free, and we don’t get paid unless we win.
What should I bring to my first meeting with an attorney?
Bring:
- Police report
- Photos from the accident scene
- Medical records and bills
- Insurance information (yours and the other driver’s)
- Witness contact information
- Any correspondence from insurance companies
- A list of questions you have
Common Types of Car Accidents in Levelland
Rear-End Collisions
The most common type of accident in Levelland, often occurring at stoplights or in heavy traffic. While many assume these are always the rear driver’s fault, there are exceptions:
- The front driver suddenly reversed
- The front driver’s brake lights weren’t working
- The front driver was stopped illegally
- The rear driver was following too closely
We’ve handled numerous rear-end collision cases, including one where our client received a multi-million dollar settlement after complications from a leg injury led to amputation.
Intersection Accidents
Dangerous intersections in Levelland include:
- US-385 and SH-114
- US-385 and FM 1585
- Main Street and College Avenue
- 13th Street and Houston Street
These accidents often involve:
- Failure to yield right of way
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Left-turn accidents
- Distracted driving
Head-On Collisions
While less common, head-on collisions are often catastrophic. They frequently occur on rural roads where drivers cross the center line due to:
- Fatigue
- Distraction
- Impairment
- Poor visibility
Sideswipe Accidents
Common when drivers fail to check blind spots, particularly on highways like US-385. These can lead to loss of control and secondary collisions.
Single-Vehicle Accidents
Often caused by:
- Animals on the road (common in rural Hockley County)
- Poor road conditions
- Mechanical failure
- Driver fatigue or impairment
Even in single-vehicle accidents, there may be liable parties:
- Government entities (for poor road maintenance)
- Vehicle manufacturers (for defects)
- Other drivers who caused you to swerve
Drunk Driving Accidents
Texas saw 1,053 alcohol-impaired driving deaths last year. In Levelland, these accidents often occur late at night or on weekends. We pursue both the drunk driver AND the establishment that served them through dram shop liability claims.
Distracted Driving Accidents
With the rise of smartphones, distracted driving has become a major issue in Levelland. Common distractions include:
- Texting
- Using navigation apps
- Adjusting music
- Eating or drinking
- Talking to passengers
Weather-Related Accidents
Levelland’s weather can change suddenly, creating hazardous conditions:
- Sudden rainstorms reducing visibility
- Ice on bridges during winter
- Dust storms reducing visibility
- High winds affecting vehicle control
Why Levelland’s Agricultural Economy Creates Unique Risks
Levelland’s economy is deeply tied to agriculture and the oil industry. This creates unique traffic risks:
Slow-Moving Agricultural Vehicles
Tractors, combines, and other farm equipment often travel on public roads. These vehicles:
- Move much slower than regular traffic
- Have wide turning radiuses
- May lack proper lighting or signage
- Can create sudden obstacles for drivers
Livestock Crossings
Cattle and other livestock sometimes wander onto roads, particularly in rural areas. Hitting livestock can cause serious accidents.
Oil Field Traffic
The Permian Basin’s oil activity brings:
- Heavy truck traffic
- Fatigued drivers working long shifts
- Equipment transport vehicles
- Sudden stops and starts
Seasonal Traffic Patterns
Harvest seasons bring increased traffic from:
- Migrant workers
- Additional truck traffic
- Increased agricultural equipment on roads

When you choose Attorney911, you’re not just getting a lawyer—you’re getting a team that fights for you like family. Here’s what sets us apart:
Insurance Defense Insider Advantage
Lupe Peña worked for years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how insurance companies value claims. He knows their tactics because he used them. Now he uses that knowledge to fight FOR you.
“I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos and social media posts as defense attorney. Here’s the truth: 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. They’re not documenting your life – they’re building ammunition against you.” – Lupe Peña
Multi-Million Dollar Results
Our results speak for themselves:
- Multi-million dollar settlement for brain injury with vision loss
- Millions recovered for a car accident victim whose leg injury led to amputation
- Millions recovered in trucking wrongful death cases

- Federal trucking regulations (FMCSA)
- Product liability claims
- Cases against out-of-state defendants
- Complex litigation against corporations
BP Explosion Litigation Experience
Our firm is one of the few in Texas to be involved in BP explosion litigation. This experience means we know how to take on billion-dollar corporations and win.
Personal Attention

No Fee Unless We Win
We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs, no hidden fees, and no financial risk to you.
Don’t Let Insurance Companies Take Advantage of You
After a car accident, insurance companies have one goal: to pay you as little as possible. They’ll use every tactic in the book to minimize your claim:
The Quick Cash Trap
Within days of your accident, they’ll offer you a quick settlement—often just a few thousand dollars. They know you’re desperate for money to pay bills and may accept less than you deserve. Once you sign, you can’t get more money even if you discover your injuries are worse than you thought.
The Recorded Statement Trap
They’ll call you while you’re still in the hospital or on pain medication and ask for a recorded statement. Everything you say will be used against you. They’ll ask leading questions designed to make you admit fault or downplay your injuries.
The IME Scheme
They’ll send you to their “independent” medical examiner—a doctor they pay thousands of dollars to find you less injured than you are. These doctors perform cursory exams and always find a reason to minimize your injuries.
The Surveillance Trap
They’ll hire private investigators to follow you and video your daily activities. They’ll take one frame of you bending over to pick up groceries and claim you’re not really injured.
The Delay Game
They’ll drag out your claim for months, hoping you’ll get desperate and accept a lowball offer. While you’re struggling to pay bills, they’re earning interest on your settlement money.
The Pre-Existing Condition Blame Game
They’ll dig through your entire medical history looking for any prior injury—even from years ago—and claim your current injuries aren’t from the accident.
