Bedford, Texas Car Accident Lawyer: Fighting for Maximum Compensation After Your Crash

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Bedford, Texas, you’re not alone. With over 251,977 people injured in Texas motor vehicle crashes last year alone—one every 2 minutes and 5 seconds—Bedford residents face constant risk on our roads. Whether you were rear-ended on Highway 121, sideswiped at the intersection of Airport Freeway and Brown Trail, or involved in a multi-vehicle pileup on I-820, the aftermath can be overwhelming. At Attorney911, we understand the physical pain, emotional stress, and financial uncertainty you’re experiencing. That’s why our Bedford car accident lawyers are here to fight for the compensation you deserve while you focus on healing.

Why Bedford Drivers Choose Attorney911 After a Crash

When you’re hurt in a Bedford car accident, you need more than just a lawyer—you need a legal emergency response team. With Ralph Manginello’s 25+ years of experience and our firm’s unique insurance defense insider advantage, we’ve recovered millions for accident victims across Tarrant County. Our Bedford car accident attorneys don’t just handle cases—we prepare them for trial, knowing that insurance companies settle for more when they know we’re not bluffing.

The Reality of Car Accidents in Bedford and Tarrant County

Bedford’s location at the heart of the DFW metroplex means heavy traffic from commuters, truckers, and local drivers. The dangerous mix of:

High-speed corridors like Highway 121 and I-820
Congested intersections such as Airport Freeway and Brown Trail
Construction zones that seem to never end
Distracted drivers on their phones
Fatigued truckers violating FMCSA hours-of-service rules

creates a perfect storm for serious accidents. In fact, Tarrant County sees thousands of crashes annually, with many resulting in life-altering injuries. When these accidents happen, Bedford residents need legal representation that understands both the local courts and the insurance company playbook.

Common Types of Car Accidents We Handle in Bedford

Rear-End Collisions: More Serious Than You Think

Rear-end crashes are the most common type of accident in Bedford, often occurring at stoplights, in heavy traffic, or when drivers fail to maintain proper following distance. While many people assume these are “minor” accidents, they frequently cause:

Whiplash and cervical spine injuries
Herniated or bulging discs
Traumatic brain injuries (even without direct head impact)
Facial injuries from airbag deployment
Psychological trauma and driving anxiety

Bedford Case Example: We recently represented a client who was rear-ended on Highway 121 near the Bedford Boys Ranch. What initially seemed like minor neck pain developed into a herniated disc requiring surgery. The insurance company offered $15,000, but we fought for and recovered $285,000 to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

T-Bone/Intersection Accidents: High-Impact Dangers

Bedford’s intersections are hotspots for T-bone collisions, where one vehicle strikes another at a 90-degree angle. These accidents often occur when drivers:

Run red lights or stop signs
Fail to yield right-of-way
Make improper left turns
Are distracted by phones or navigation systems
Drive under the influence

The side-impact nature of these crashes means victims often suffer:

Pelvic and hip fractures
Internal organ damage
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Fatalities (especially for passengers on the struck side)

What Bedford Residents Should Know: Texas law gives pedestrians and cyclists the right-of-way at all intersections—even unmarked ones. If you were hit while crossing legally, the driver is almost always at fault.

Head-On Collisions: Catastrophic Outcomes

While less common, head-on collisions are among the most deadly accidents in Bedford. They typically occur when:

Drivers cross the center line (often due to distraction or impairment)
Wrong-way drivers enter highways
Vehicles lose control on curves
Drivers fall asleep at the wheel

The forces involved in head-on crashes often result in:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord damage and paralysis
Severe facial and dental injuries
Internal bleeding and organ damage
Wrongful death

Federal Court Advantage: These complex cases often involve multiple liable parties and high-value claims. Ralph Manginello’s admission to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas means we can handle these cases at both state and federal levels.

Sideswipe Accidents: More Than Just Scratches

Sideswipe collisions in Bedford often happen when:

Drivers change lanes without checking blind spots
Vehicles drift out of their lane
Drivers are distracted or fatigued
Road conditions are slippery

While these accidents might seem minor, they can cause:

Shoulder and arm injuries from bracing against impact
Neck and back injuries from sudden movement
Psychological trauma from near-miss experiences
Secondary collisions when vehicles lose control

Multi-Vehicle Pileups: Complex Liability Challenges

Bedford’s location near major highways means we frequently see multi-vehicle pileups, especially during:

Rush hour traffic
Inclement weather
Construction zone slowdowns
Holiday travel periods

These complex accidents require thorough investigation to determine:

Which driver(s) were at fault
Whether multiple parties share liability
If vehicle defects contributed
Whether road conditions played a role

Our Approach: We deploy accident reconstruction experts and preserve critical evidence like black box data before it’s overwritten or deleted.

What to Do Immediately After a Car Accident in Bedford

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol

Every day you wait, critical evidence disappears. Here’s exactly what to do:

At the Scene (First 30 Minutes):

Call 911 – Report the accident and request medical assistance if anyone is injured
Check for injuries – Adrenaline masks pain; assume you’re hurt until proven otherwise
Document everything – Take photos of:
- All vehicle damage (every angle)
- License plates and driver’s licenses
- Road conditions and traffic signals
- Visible injuries
- Any visible skid marks or debris
Exchange information – Get:
- Other driver’s name, phone, address
- Insurance company and policy number
- Vehicle make, model, and color
- Witness names and contact information
Call Attorney911 – 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to any insurance company

Within 24 Hours:

Seek medical attention even if you feel fine (delayed symptoms are common)
Preserve all digital evidence (screenshot texts, save photos to cloud)
Secure damaged clothing or personal items
Call your own insurance company (but don’t give recorded statement)
Do NOT post on social media (insurance monitors everything)

Within 48 Hours:

Contact Attorney911 for a free consultation
We’ll send preservation letters to:
- The other driver’s insurance company
- Any businesses near the scene (for surveillance footage)
- The trucking company (if commercial vehicle involved)
- Vehicle manufacturers (if defect suspected)
We’ll obtain the police report and begin our investigation

Why This Matters: Surveillance footage from Bedford businesses typically deletes within 7-30 days. ELD data from trucks can be overwritten in 30-180 days. Witness memories fade quickly. The sooner you call us at 1-888-ATTY-911, the stronger your case will be.

Texas Car Accident Laws You Need to Know

Statute of Limitations: The 2-Year Deadline

Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003, you have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is absolute:

Miss it, and your case is barred forever
No extensions, no exceptions (with very limited circumstances)
The clock starts ticking the day of your accident

Don’t Wait: Insurance companies know this deadline and will drag out negotiations hoping you’ll miss it. The sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your rights.

Texas Comparative Fault Rule: The 51% Bar

Texas uses a “modified comparative fault” system with a 51% bar rule. This means:

If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages (reduced by your percentage of fault)
If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing

Insurance Company Trick: They’ll try to assign you maximum fault to reduce their payment. Even small percentages cost you thousands:

10% fault on a $100,000 case = $10,000 less for you
25% fault on a $250,000 case = $62,500 less for you

Our Advantage: Lupe Peña spent years working for insurance companies—he knows exactly how they manipulate fault percentages and how to counter their arguments.

Minimum Insurance Requirements in Texas

Texas requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance:

$30,000 for bodily injury per person
$60,000 for bodily injury per accident
$25,000 for property damage

The Problem: These minimums are often insufficient to cover serious injuries. That’s why we also pursue:

Underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage from your own policy
Additional liable parties (employers, vehicle owners, etc.)
Dram shop claims (if alcohol was involved)

Common Injuries from Bedford Car Accidents

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): The Invisible Epidemic

TBIs are among the most serious injuries we see in Bedford car accidents, often with symptoms that don’t appear immediately:

Immediate Symptoms:

Loss of consciousness
Confusion or disorientation
Nausea or vomiting
Severe headache
Slurred speech
Weakness or numbness

Delayed Symptoms (Hours to Days Later):

Worsening headaches
Memory problems
Personality changes
Sleep disturbances
Sensitivity to light and noise
Difficulty concentrating

Long-Term Complications:

Post-concussive syndrome (symptoms lasting months or years)
Increased risk of dementia later in life
Mood disorders (depression, anxiety, irritability)
Seizure disorders
Cognitive impairment

Attorney911 Case Result: We recently secured a multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury with permanent vision loss after a log fell on him at a logging company. This level of compensation is possible for Bedford car accident victims with serious TBIs.

Spinal Cord Injuries: Life-Altering Consequences

Spinal cord injuries from Bedford car accidents can result in:

Quadriplegia (C1-C8 injuries): Paralysis of all four limbs, often requiring 24/7 care
Paraplegia (T1-L5 injuries): Paralysis of the lower body, affecting mobility and bodily functions
Incomplete injuries: Partial loss of function below the injury level

Lifetime Costs:

High cervical injuries: $6,000,000-$13,000,000+
Low cervical injuries: $3,700,000-$6,100,000+
Paraplegia: $2,500,000-$5,250,000+

Our Approach: We work with life care planners to document the full lifetime costs of spinal cord injuries, ensuring our clients receive compensation that covers their future needs.

Herniated and Bulging Discs: More Than Just Back Pain

Herniated discs are common in Bedford car accidents and often require:

Conservative Treatment (Weeks 1-12):
- Physical therapy ($5,000-$15,000)
- Chiropractic care ($3,000-$8,000)
- Pain management ($2,000-$6,000)
- Epidural steroid injections ($3,000-$6,000 per series)
Surgical Intervention (If Conservative Treatment Fails):
- Microdiscectomy: $50,000-$80,000
- Spinal fusion: $80,000-$120,000
- Hospital stay: $15,000-$30,000
- Post-surgical rehabilitation: $10,000-$20,000

The Insurance Trap: Insurance companies often claim herniated discs are “pre-existing conditions” from normal aging. We counter this with:

Pre-accident medical records showing no symptoms
Post-accident imaging showing new herniation
Expert testimony from orthopedic specialists

Broken Bones and Fractures: More Than Just a Cast

Bedford car accidents frequently cause:

Simple fractures: Clean break, no skin penetration
Compound fractures: Bone breaks through skin (high infection risk)
Comminuted fractures: Bone shattered into multiple pieces
Stress fractures: Small cracks from repetitive impact

Treatment Costs:

Casting: $1,000-$3,000
Surgery (ORIF): $25,000-$50,000
Physical therapy: $5,000-$15,000
Lost wages: $10,000-$50,000+

Complications We See:

Non-union (bones fail to heal properly)
Infections (especially with compound fractures)
Nerve damage
Chronic pain
Post-traumatic arthritis

Soft Tissue Injuries: The Insurance Company’s Favorite Target

Soft tissue injuries like whiplash, sprains, and strains are common in Bedford car accidents but often undervalued by insurance companies because:

They don’t show up on X-rays
Symptoms are subjective (pain, stiffness)
Insurance claims they’re “minor”

The Reality:

15-20% of whiplash cases develop into chronic pain
Can prevent return to physical jobs
Often misdiagnosed initially (rotator cuff tears thought to be sprains)

How We Prove Soft Tissue Injuries:

Detailed pain documentation in medical records
Consistent treatment (no gaps)
MRI evidence of soft tissue damage
Physical therapy records showing progress
Work restrictions from treating physicians

How Insurance Companies Try to Minimize Your Claim

Tactic #1: The Quick Cash Trap (Weeks 1-3)

What They Do:
Within days of your Bedford car accident, the insurance adjuster will call with a “quick settlement offer”—typically $2,000-$5,000. They’ll say things like:

“This is our best offer right now”
“Take it or leave it”
“This offer expires in 48 hours”
“We can’t get approval for more”

The Trap:
You don’t know the full extent of your injuries yet. What seems like a fair offer now could be a fraction of what you’ll need.

Real Bedford Example:
A client was rear-ended on Highway 121 and received a $3,500 offer three days after the accident. She was in pain but thought it was just whiplash. Six weeks later, an MRI revealed a herniated disc requiring surgery. The surgery cost $85,000. Because she had already signed the release, she was responsible for the entire amount.

Our Strategy:
We never let our clients accept quick settlements. We wait until you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)—the point where your condition has stabilized and we know the full extent of your injuries.

Tactic #2: The Recorded Statement Trap (Days 1-3)

What They Do:
The insurance adjuster will call you within 24-72 hours of your Bedford car accident, often while you’re:

Still in the hospital
On pain medication
Confused and overwhelmed
Scared about your future

They’ll say:

“We just want to get your side of the story”
“This is routine—everyone does this”
“It’ll only take a few minutes”
“We need this to process your claim”

What They’re Really Doing:
They’re building their defense against you with leading questions designed to minimize your injuries and shift blame:

Question They Ask	What They Want You to Say
“You’re feeling better now, right?”	That your injuries aren’t serious
“It wasn’t that bad of an impact, was it?”	That your injuries couldn’t be severe
“You were able to walk away from the scene?”	That you weren’t really hurt
“Were you distracted at all?”	That you share fault
“How fast were you going?”	To suggest you were speeding

Lupe Peña’s Insider Knowledge:

“I’ve taken hundreds of these recorded statements as a defense attorney. The questions are designed to get you to say things that will hurt your case later. Even innocent comments like ‘I’m feeling a little better today’ can be twisted to suggest your injuries aren’t serious. That’s why we tell all our Bedford clients: do NOT give a recorded statement without an attorney present.”

Our Strategy:
Once you hire Attorney911:

We become your voice with the insurance company
All calls go through us
You don’t talk to adjusters
We prepare you properly if a statement becomes absolutely necessary

Tactic #3: The IME Doctor Scam (Months 2-6)

What They Call It:
“Independent Medical Examination” (IME)

What It Really Is:
An insurance-hired doctor paid to minimize your injuries

How Insurance Companies Choose IME Doctors:
They don’t choose the most qualified doctors—they choose doctors who:

Consistently give insurance-favorable reports
Find “no injury” or “pre-existing condition” in most cases
Are paid $2,000-$5,000 per exam by insurance companies
Get repeat business for giving favorable reports

What Happens at the IME:

10-15 minute “examination” (vs. your treating doctor’s thorough evaluation)
Rarely review your complete medical records beforehand
Ask questions designed to elicit “I’m feeling better” responses
Look for ANY reason to minimize your injuries

Common IME Doctor Findings:

What They Say	What It Really Means
“Patient has pre-existing degenerative changes”	Everyone over 40 has some arthritis—used to deny claims
“Injuries consistent with minor trauma”	Minimizes your pain and suffering
“Patient can return to full duty work”	Eliminates your lost wage claims
“Treatment has been excessive”	Attacks your treating doctors
“Subjective complaints out of proportion to objective findings”	Medical speak for calling you a liar

Our Strategy:

We prepare you extensively before the exam
We send your complete medical records to the IME doctor first (forcing them to review)
We challenge biased IME reports with our own medical experts
Lupe knows these specific doctors and their biases—he hired them for years

Tactic #4: Surveillance and Social Media Monitoring

What They Do:
Insurance companies hire private investigators to:

Video you doing daily activities
Film you at home, at the store, at appointments
Follow you to the gym, to family gatherings, to church
Look for ANY activity that contradicts your injury claims

They also monitor ALL your social media:

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter/X
Screenshot EVERYTHING: photos, posts, check-ins, comments
Monitor your friends’ profiles for posts mentioning you
Use facial recognition to find photos you’re tagged in
Archive your entire social media history

Examples We’ve Defended in Bedford:

Example	What Happened	What Insurance Claimed	Reality
Old Gym Photo	Client posted gym photo from 3 years ago	Presented as recent, suggested no injury	We proved metadata was pre-accident
Restaurant Check-in	Client checked in at restaurant	“Partying and having fun”	Client was sitting quietly having dinner
Friend’s Comment	Friend posted “Had fun yesterday!”	Evidence of non-injury	Client was resting at home
Walking Dog	Video of client walking dog slowly	“Not disabled”	Doctor recommended short walks for mobility
Smiling in Photo	Family photo with client smiling	“Not in pain—she’s smiling!”	Everyone smiles for photos

7 Rules for Bedford Clients:

Make ALL social media profiles private immediately
DON’T post about your accident, injuries, or case
DON’T check in anywhere
Tell friends/family: don’t tag you, don’t post about you
Don’t accept friend requests from strangers (fake profiles)
BEST: Stay off social media entirely during your case
Assume EVERYTHING is being monitored

Lupe Peña’s Insider Quote:

“I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos and social media posts as a 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.”

Tactic #5: Delay, Deny, Defend (Months 6-12+)

What They Do:
Insurance companies drag out your case hoping you’ll get desperate. They’ll say:

“We’re still investigating your claim”
“We’re waiting for your medical records”
“Your file is under review”
“We need additional information”
They’ll ignore your calls and emails for weeks

Why Delay Works:
They Have:

Unlimited time
Unlimited resources
No financial pressure
Earning interest on YOUR settlement money

You Have:

Mounting medical bills
Zero income if you can’t work
Creditors threatening to sue
Need for money NOW

Financial Desperation Makes You Accept Less:

Month 1: You’d reject a $5,000 offer
Month 6: You’d seriously consider $5,000
Month 12: You’d BEG for $5,000 just to end the nightmare

Our Strategy:

We file lawsuits to force deadlines
We set depositions to make them produce witnesses
We prepare for trial to show we’re serious
Lupe understands delay tactics because he used them—he knows when to push

Tactic #6: The Comparative Fault Blame Game

What They Do:
Insurance companies try to assign you maximum fault to reduce their payment. They’ll claim:

“You were speeding” (without evidence)
“You weren’t paying attention” (speculation)
“You could have avoided this” (hindsight bias)
“You were distracted” (guessing)
“You contributed to this accident” (shifting blame)

Why They Do This:
Texas’s 51% bar rule means:

If you’re 51%+ at fault → You get NOTHING
If you’re 50% or less at fault → Your damages are reduced by your percentage

Even Small Fault Percentages Cost Thousands:

10% fault on a $100,000 case = $10,000 less for you
25% fault on a $250,000 case = $62,500 less for you
40% fault on a $500,000 case = $200,000 less for you

Our Strategy:

Aggressive liability investigation
Accident reconstruction to prove the other driver’s fault
Witness statements supporting your version
Police report analysis emphasizing citations
Expert testimony on perception-reaction time
Lupe knows their fault arguments because he made them for years—now he defeats them

How Colossus Software Undervalues Your Claim

The Insurance Company’s Secret Weapon

Most major insurance companies (State Farm, Allstate, Progressive, GEICO) use a computerized system called Colossus to calculate the value of your claim. Here’s how it works—and how we beat it:

How Colossus Works:

Data Entry: The adjuster inputs:
- Injury codes (e.g., “soft tissue strain” vs. “disc herniation”)
- Treatment types (chiropractic vs. orthopedic)
- Medical costs
- Lost wages
- Jurisdiction (Tarrant County vs. Dallas County)
Coding: Injuries are assigned standardized medical codes
Calculation: The software applies proprietary algorithms
Output: System provides a recommended settlement range
Authority: Adjuster typically cannot exceed the range without supervisor approval

How Insurance Manipulates Colossus:

Manipulation	Effect on Your Claim
Low Injury Codes	“Soft tissue strain” instead of “disc herniation” reduces value 50-100%
Excessive Treatment Flags	Therapy beyond “normal” range triggers reduction
Conservative Treatment Penalty	Chiropractic valued less than MD treatment
Pre-Existing Reduction	Any prior condition used to reduce value
Jurisdiction Factor	Low-verdict counties get lower values

Lupe Peña’s Insider Knowledge:

“I’ve worked with Colossus for years as a defense attorney. I know exactly how to present medical records to trigger the highest possible valuations. For example, using the term ‘radiculopathy’ instead of ‘nerve pain’ can increase the valuation by 30-50%. I also know which medical terms to avoid because they trigger automatic reductions. This insider knowledge is why our clients consistently recover more than what insurance initially offers.”

How We Beat Colossus:

Proper Injury Coding: We ensure your injuries are coded at the appropriate severity level
Comprehensive Documentation: We provide complete medical records showing the full impact of your injuries
Expert Reports: We obtain detailed reports from your treating physicians
Life Care Plans: For catastrophic injuries, we document lifetime care needs
Trial Preparation: We show we’re ready to go to court, which increases settlement leverage

Frequently Asked Questions About Bedford Car Accidents

Immediate After Accident

1. What should I do immediately after a car accident in Bedford, Texas?
If you’ve been in an accident in Bedford:

Call 911 and report the accident
Seek medical attention even if you feel fine (adrenaline masks injuries)
Document everything: photos of damage, injuries, scene
Exchange information with the other driver
Get witness names and phone numbers
Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company
Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance

2. Should I call the police even for a minor accident?
Yes. Always call the police. In Texas, you must report accidents with:

Injuries
Deaths
Property damage over $1,000
The police report is critical evidence for your claim.

3. 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.

4. What information should I collect at the scene?

Other driver: name, phone, address, driver’s license, insurance
Vehicle: make, model, color, license plate
Witnesses: names and phone numbers
Photos: all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals
Police: officer name, badge number, report number

5. Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?

Exchange information only
Do NOT discuss fault
Do NOT apologize or say “I’m sorry” (can be used as admission)
Do NOT give your opinion on what happened
Stick to facts only

6. How do I obtain a copy of the accident report in Bedford?
You can obtain the police report from:

The responding police department (Bedford Police Department if within city limits)
Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS)
Through your attorney (we obtain reports for our clients)

Dealing with Insurance

7. Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
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.

8. 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 a recorded statement
Discuss injuries or fault
Accept any settlement offers

9. Do I have to accept the insurance company’s estimate for my car?
No. Their estimate is just an offer. It’s usually far below actual value. Attorney911 fights for what your case is really worth.

10. Should I accept a quick settlement offer from the insurance company?
NEVER accept a settlement before knowing the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money even if you need surgery later.

11. What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?
Your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can compensate you. Watch our video: “Uninsured & Underinsured Motorists” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8

12. Why does the insurance company 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.

Legal Process

13. 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?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-PMMP5Jims

14. When should I hire a Bedford car accident lawyer?
Immediately. Evidence disappears daily. Insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911.

15. How much time do I have to file a lawsuit (statute of limitations)?
In Texas: 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury, 2 years from the date of death for wrongful death. Miss it = case barred forever.

16. 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 you’re 51% or more at fault → You recover NOTHING
Watch our video: “What Is Comparative Negligence?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzHKY_v9l4

17. What happens if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

18. 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 in negotiations.
Watch our video: “Will Your Case Go to Trial?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed5AnmCMcc

19. 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
12-18 months for serious injuries
24+ months for catastrophic injuries

20. 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?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwzYymneDVs

Compensation

21. What is my Bedford car accident 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).

22. 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

23. 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).

24. What if I have a pre-existing condition?
You can still recover if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is called the “eggshell plaintiff” rule.

25. Will I have to pay taxes on my settlement?
Generally:

Compensation for physical injuries is NOT taxable
Punitive damages ARE taxable
Lost wages are taxable as income
Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.

26. How is the value of my claim determined?
Based on:

Medical bills
Future treatment costs
Lost income
Permanent impairment rating
Comparable verdicts
Severity of injuries
Impact on daily life

Attorney Relationship

27. How much do Bedford car accident lawyers cost?
Attorney911 works on contingency:

33.33% before trial
40% if trial is required
You pay nothing upfront. We don’t get paid unless we win.
Watch our video: “How Do Contingency Fees Work?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upcI_j6F7Nc

28. 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.

29. How often will I get updates on my case?
Attorney911 provides regular updates. As client Dame Haskett said: “Consistent communication and not one time did I call and not get a clear answer.”

30. 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.”
Watch our video: “Who Will Be Handling My Case?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHcCJglue7o

31. 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.”

Mistakes to Avoid

32. What common mistakes can hurt my case?

Giving a recorded statement without an attorney
Accepting a quick settlement
Delaying medical treatment
Gaps in treatment
Posting on social media
Signing releases or authorizations
Not documenting everything
Watch our video: “Client Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Case” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3IYsoxOSxY

33. Should I post about my accident on social media?
NO. Make all profiles private. Don’t post about:

The accident
Your injuries
Your activities
Your case
Insurance monitors everything.

34. Why shouldn’t I sign anything without a lawyer?

Releases are PERMANENT and FINAL
Medical authorizations give unlimited access
Settlement offers are binding
Once signed, you can’t undo it

35. What if I didn’t see a doctor right away?
See one NOW. Explain you didn’t realize the severity of your injuries. Delayed symptoms are common. We can still help.

Additional Common Questions

36. 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. The “eggshell plaintiff” rule means the defendant takes you as they find you. Example: You had mild occasional back pain. The accident caused a herniated disc requiring surgery. You recover for the NEW injury, not just the pre-existing pain. We hire medical experts to prove the difference. Lupe knows how insurance attacks pre-existing conditions—he used this defense for years.

37. 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
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.

38. What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claims are against YOUR insurance when the 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.

39. How do you calculate pain and suffering?
Most commonly using the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain & suffering. The 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.

40. 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 an experienced attorney. Ralph’s 25+ years includes government litigation. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately—6-month deadline is strict.

41. What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?
File a police report immediately (hit and run is a criminal offense). Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies. Surveillance footage is CRITICAL—most footage deletes within 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.

42. 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.

43. 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.

44. 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. The 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.

45. What if the other driver died in the accident?
You can still pursue a claim against:

The deceased driver’s estate
The deceased driver’s insurance
The deceased driver’s employer (if working at the time)
The vehicle owner (if different from driver)
Insurance policy still applies. Estate may have assets. Wrongful death laws protect both sides. These cases are emotionally complex but legally straightforward. We handle them with sensitivity while protecting your rights.

Bedford-Specific Trends

Highway 121 (Airport Freeway): One of the most dangerous corridors in Tarrant County, with frequent rear-end and sideswipe collisions
I-820: High rate of multi-vehicle pileups, especially during rush hour
Construction Zones: Bedford has seen an increase in work zone accidents as infrastructure projects expand
Distracted Driving: Tarrant County has one of the highest rates of distracted driving accidents in Texas
Drunk Driving: Alcohol-related crashes spike on weekends and holidays

Why These Statistics Matter

Insurance companies use statistics to:

Argue that certain accidents are “common” and therefore less severe
Claim that injuries are “typical” for the type of accident
Suggest that victims should expect less compensation

Our Response:
We use statistics to:

Show the severity of the problem in Bedford
Prove that our clients’ injuries are often more severe than “typical”
Demonstrate that insurance companies should expect to pay more in high-risk areas
Support our demand for full and fair compensation

How to Prevent Car Accidents in Bedford

While we’re here to help after an accident, we’d rather help you avoid one in the first place. Here are some Bedford-specific safety tips:

On Highway 121 and I-820

Maintain safe following distance: The 3-second rule can prevent rear-end collisions
Avoid sudden lane changes: Use your turn signal and check blind spots
Watch for merging traffic: Be especially cautious near on/off ramps
Reduce speed in construction zones: Fines double in work zones
Stay alert for distracted drivers: Put your phone away and avoid other distractions

At Busy Intersections

Come to a complete stop: Rolling stops are a leading cause of T-bone collisions
Look both ways before proceeding: Even if you have a green light
Make eye contact with other drivers: Especially when making left turns
Watch for pedestrians and cyclists: They have the right-of-way at crosswalks
Avoid running yellow lights: Speeding up to “beat the light” is dangerous

During Rush Hour

Leave early or late: Avoid the worst traffic between 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM
Use alternate routes: Consider surface streets instead of highways
Stay patient: Aggressive driving leads to accidents
Watch for sudden stops: Traffic often stops unexpectedly during rush hour
Be extra cautious in rain: Wet roads increase stopping distances

For Teen Drivers

Limit night driving: Most teen accidents occur between 9 PM and midnight
Restrict passengers: Teen drivers with passengers are more likely to crash
Enforce the cell phone ban: Texas law prohibits all cell phone use for drivers under 18
Set a good example: Parents should model safe driving behavior
Consider a driving contract: Outline rules and consequences for unsafe driving

For Older Drivers

Get regular vision and hearing tests: Impaired senses increase accident risk
Avoid driving at night: Reduced visibility can be challenging
Stay off highways if uncomfortable: Use surface streets for local trips
Consider a driving assessment: Many organizations offer senior driving evaluations
Be honest about limitations: If driving becomes difficult, explore alternatives

For All Drivers

Never drive impaired: Use rideshare services if you’ve been drinking
Get enough sleep: Drowsy driving is as dangerous as drunk driving
Keep your vehicle maintained: Regular oil changes, tire rotations, and brake checks
Adjust for weather: Slow down in rain, fog, or icy conditions
Plan your route: Know where you’re going to avoid last-minute lane changes
