Why Blue Mound Accident Victims Choose Attorney911

Blue Mound may be a small community, but the roads here see their share of accidents. From the busy intersections along Carson Street to the highway traffic on I-820, drivers in Blue Mound face daily risks. When accidents happen, you need a law firm that knows Texas law inside and out – and one that’s prepared to take on insurance companies that will try to minimize your claim.

We’ve recovered millions for our clients, including:

• A multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury with vision loss

Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Blue Mound

Car Accidents

With over 250,000 people injured in Texas car crashes each year, these are the most common accidents we handle. In Blue Mound, we see crashes at intersections, rear-end collisions on busy roads, and accidents caused by distracted or impaired drivers. Common injuries include whiplash, herniated discs, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries.

Trucking Accidents

Blue Mound’s proximity to I-820 means heavy truck traffic moves through our community daily. When 18-wheelers are involved in accidents, the results are often catastrophic. We’ve helped clients recover millions in trucking cases by holding drivers and trucking companies accountable for violations of federal safety regulations.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks on Blue Mound roads. With 585 motorcyclist fatalities in Texas last year, we understand the serious injuries riders often suffer. Texas law requires helmets for riders under 21, but even helmeted riders can sustain severe injuries when struck by negligent drivers.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Blue Mound’s growing community means more pedestrians and cyclists sharing the roads. When drivers fail to yield, the results can be devastating. We’ve helped pedestrians and cyclists recover compensation after being struck by vehicles at intersections and crosswalks.

Drunk Driving Accidents

With over 1,000 alcohol-impaired driving deaths in Texas annually, drunk driving remains a serious problem. Our firm has unique expertise in these cases, including dram shop liability claims against bars and restaurants that over-serve patrons.

What to Do After an Accident in Blue Mound

If you’ve been in an accident in Blue Mound, time is critical. Evidence disappears quickly, and insurance companies start building their case against you immediately. Here’s what you should do:

1. Call 911 – Report the accident and request medical assistance if needed
2. Document everything – Take photos of vehicle damage, injuries, and the scene
3. Exchange information – Get the other driver’s name, insurance, and contact details
4. Talk to witnesses – Get names and phone numbers of anyone who saw what happened
5. Seek medical attention – Even if you feel fine, some injuries don’t show symptoms immediately
6. Call Attorney911 – Before speaking to any insurance company, call 1-888-ATTY-911

As client Chavodrian Miles shared, “Leonor got me into the doctor the same day…it only took 6 months amazing.” We move quickly to protect your rights and preserve evidence before it’s lost.

How Insurance Companies Try to Minimize Your Claim

Insurance adjusters will contact you soon after your accident, often while you’re still in the hospital or recovering at home. They may seem friendly and helpful, but their goal is to pay you as little as possible. Here are some of their tactics:

1. Quick Settlement Offers – They’ll offer you money fast, hoping you’ll accept before you know the full extent of your injuries
2. Recorded Statements – They’ll ask you to give a recorded statement, looking for anything they can use against you
3. Independent Medical Exams (IMEs) – They’ll send you to a doctor they hire, who will likely minimize your injuries
4. Surveillance – They may hire investigators to follow you and film your activities
5. Delay Tactics – They’ll drag out your claim, hoping you’ll get desperate and accept a low offer

Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense attorney, knows these tactics because he used them for years. Now he uses that knowledge to fight for you. As he explains, “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.”

Your Rights Under Texas Law

Texas is an at-fault state, which means the driver who caused the accident is responsible for your damages. Under Texas law, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Physical impairment
• Disfigurement
• Property damage

Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, so it’s important to act quickly. The insurance company will use every day that passes to build their case against you.

Why Attorney911 is Different

1. Insurance Defense Insider – Lupe Peña worked for years at a national defense firm, learning how insurance companies value claims. Now he uses that knowledge to fight for you.
2. Federal Court Experience – Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, giving us the ability to handle complex cases.
3. Multi-Million Dollar Results – We’ve recovered millions for our clients, including catastrophic injury cases.
4. Personal Attention – You’ll work directly with Ralph or Lupe, not a case manager assembly line. As Chad Harris said, “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”
5. No Fee Unless We Win – We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blue Mound Car Accidents

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Blue Mound?

Call 911, seek medical attention, document everything, exchange information with the other driver, and call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company without speaking to us first.

Should I call the police even for a minor accident?

Yes. Always call police. The police report is critical evidence. In Texas, you must report accidents with injuries, deaths, or property damage over $1,000.

Should I seek medical attention if I don’t feel hurt?

Absolutely. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately. Adrenaline can mask pain at the scene. Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you.

What information should I collect at the scene?

Get the other driver’s name, phone number, address, driver’s license number, insurance information, and vehicle details. Take photos of all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, and traffic signals. Get witness names and phone numbers.

Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?

Exchange information only. Do not discuss fault, apologize, or give your opinion on what happened. Stick to facts only.

How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?

In Blue Mound, you can obtain the police report from the responding agency 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.

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 or discuss injuries or fault.

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 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.

What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?

Your own UM/UIM coverage can compensate you. Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would. You need attorney representation.

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, and impact on your daily life.

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.

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.”

What common mistakes can hurt my case?

Giving recorded statements without an attorney, accepting quick settlements, delaying medical treatment, gaps in treatment, posting on social media, signing releases or authorizations, and not documenting everything.

Should I post about my accident on social media?

No. Make all profiles private. Don’t post about the accident, injuries, or activities. Insurance monitors everything.

Why shouldn’t I sign anything without a lawyer?

Releases are permanent. Medical authorizations give unlimited access. Settlement offers are binding. Once signed, you can’t undo it.

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.

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. We hire medical experts to prove the difference.

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 or fighting for you, you have the right to switch.

What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?

Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would. You need attorney representation. We have extensive experience with UM/UIM claims.

How do you calculate pain and suffering?

Most commonly using the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain and suffering. The multiplier depends on injury severity, permanency, and impact on life.

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. Sovereign immunity protects government entities. These cases are complex – you need an experienced attorney.

What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?

File a police report immediately. Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies. Surveillance footage is critical. We send preservation letters immediately to secure evidence before it’s deleted.

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.

What if the accident happened in a parking lot?

Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often try to argue these are always 50/50 fault, but that’s not true. We prove fault through surveillance video, witness statements, and damage analysis.

What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?

You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them. You’re an innocent victim. The driver’s insurance covers passengers. No comparative fault issues apply to you.

What if the other driver died in the accident?

You can still pursue a claim against the deceased driver’s estate and insurance. The insurance policy still applies. These cases are emotionally complex but legally straightforward.
