Car Accidents in Renner, Texas: How Attorney911 Fights for Maximum Compensation

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Renner, Texas, you’re not alone. With over 251,977 people injured in Texas motor vehicle crashes in 2024 alone – that’s one injury every 2 minutes and 5 seconds – the roads in our community have become increasingly dangerous. At Attorney911, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll a car accident can take on you and your family. With Ralph Manginello’s 25+ years of experience fighting for accident victims across Texas, our firm has recovered millions for clients who suffered life-altering injuries through no fault of their own.

The streets of Renner see more than their share of collisions, from the busy intersections near major roads to the residential areas where distracted driving often leads to devastating crashes. When you’re injured, the last thing you need is to battle insurance companies who are already building their case against you. That’s where our unique advantage comes in: our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how insurance companies value claims because he used to calculate them himself. This insider knowledge is your unfair advantage in securing the compensation you deserve.

The Reality of Car Accidents in Renner

Texas roads are among the most dangerous in the nation, with a reportable crash occurring every 57 seconds. In Renner and surrounding Dallas County communities, we see a wide range of accident types:

  • Rear-end collisions at busy intersections
  • T-bone accidents where drivers fail to yield
  • Head-on crashes from distracted or impaired driving
  • Single-vehicle accidents caused by road defects or weather
  • Multi-vehicle pileups on congested roads

The Texas Department of Transportation reports that in 2024 alone, there were 4,150 traffic fatalities in our state. Many of these accidents occur right here in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where high traffic volumes and aggressive driving combine to create a perfect storm of danger.

What makes car accidents particularly devastating is how quickly they can change your life. One moment you’re driving home from work or running errands, and the next you’re facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and painful injuries that may affect you for years to come. The most common causes of these accidents include:

  • Distracted driving (380 deaths in Texas in 2024)
  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Failure to yield right of way
  • Running red lights and stop signs
  • Following too closely
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Common Injuries from Car Accidents

Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from relatively minor to life-threatening. At Attorney911, we’ve helped clients recover compensation for all types of accident-related injuries, including:

Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries

These are among the most common car accident injuries, occurring when the force of the collision causes your head to snap forward and backward violently. While often dismissed as “minor,” whiplash can lead to chronic pain and long-term disability. Symptoms may not appear immediately, which is why it’s crucial to seek medical attention right away.

Herniated and Bulging Discs

The impact of a collision can cause the discs in your spine to rupture or bulge, pressing on nerves and causing severe pain. These injuries often require extensive treatment, including physical therapy, epidural injections, or even surgery. In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions, demonstrating our commitment to fighting for clients with serious spinal injuries.

Broken Bones and Fractures

The force of a car accident can easily break bones, from simple fractures to complex breaks requiring surgical intervention. Common fractures include:

  • Broken ribs
  • Fractured wrists and arms
  • Broken legs and ankles
  • Pelvic fractures
  • Facial fractures

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Even a “minor” collision can cause a traumatic brain injury when your head strikes the steering wheel, window, or other hard surfaces. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe brain damage that can affect cognitive function, memory, and personality. Our firm has secured multi-million dollar settlements for clients who suffered brain injuries with vision loss in accidents.

Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis

Severe accidents can damage the spinal cord, potentially leading to partial or complete paralysis. These catastrophic injuries require lifelong medical care and can dramatically alter every aspect of your life.

Internal Organ Damage

The impact of a collision can cause internal bleeding and damage to organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs. These injuries are often life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.

Psychological Trauma

The emotional impact of a car accident is often overlooked but can be just as debilitating as physical injuries. Many accident victims develop:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Fear of driving
  • Sleep disturbances and nightmares
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish

Why Insurance Companies Are Already Working Against You

From the moment your accident occurs, insurance companies begin building their defense. They have teams of adjusters, investigators, and lawyers whose sole job is to minimize or deny your claim. Here’s what they’re doing while you’re focused on recovery:

  1. Contacting you immediately – often within hours of the accident – to get a recorded statement that can be used against you
  2. Offering quick settlements – typically far below what your case is worth – hoping you’ll accept before you understand the full extent of your injuries
  3. Monitoring your social media – looking for any posts or photos that can be taken out of context to suggest you’re not really injured
  4. Scheduling “independent” medical exams – with doctors they hire who are trained to minimize your injuries
  5. Delaying your claim – hoping financial pressure will make you accept a lowball offer

This is where Attorney911’s unique advantage comes into play. Lupe Peña, our associate attorney, spent years working for a national defense firm, learning firsthand how insurance companies value claims and build their cases. He knows their tactics because he used them himself. Now, he uses that insider knowledge to fight for victims like you.

“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.” – Lupe Peña

How Attorney911 Levels the Playing Field

When you hire Attorney911, you’re not just getting legal representation – you’re gaining an unfair advantage over the insurance companies. Here’s what we do differently:

Immediate Evidence Preservation

Within 24 hours of taking your case, we send preservation letters to:

  • The other driver and their insurance company
  • Businesses near the accident scene to preserve surveillance footage
  • Trucking companies (if applicable) to secure electronic logging device (ELD) data
  • Vehicle manufacturers to preserve black box data
  • Any other parties who may have relevant evidence

This is crucial because evidence disappears quickly:

  • Surveillance footage is typically deleted within 7-30 days
  • ELD data can be overwritten in 30-180 days
  • Witness memories fade over time
  • Physical evidence can be lost or destroyed

Comprehensive Investigation

Our team conducts a thorough investigation to build the strongest possible case, including:

  • Obtaining and analyzing the police report
  • Interviewing witnesses while their memories are fresh
  • Reviewing medical records to document your injuries
  • Consulting with accident reconstruction experts
  • Examining vehicle damage and black box data
  • Identifying all potentially liable parties

Aggressive Negotiation with Insider Knowledge

Because Lupe Peña used to work for the insurance companies, we know:

  • How they calculate claim values using software like Colossus
  • Which medical codes trigger higher valuations
  • What documentation they need to justify higher settlements
  • When they’re bluffing about policy limits
  • How to counter their comparative fault arguments

This insider knowledge allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, often securing settlements that other firms might miss.

Trial Preparation from Day One

While most cases settle before trial, we prepare every case as if it’s going to court. This approach sends a clear message to insurance companies: we’re not afraid to take your case to trial if they won’t offer fair compensation. Our trial readiness gives us leverage in negotiations and often results in higher settlement offers.

Ralph Manginello’s admission to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, means we can handle complex cases that other firms might avoid. Our involvement in BP explosion litigation demonstrates our capability to take on billion-dollar corporations and win.

What Our Clients Say About Working With Attorney911

Don’t just take our word for it – here’s what our clients have to say about their experience with Attorney911:

“Leonor got me into the doctor the same day and it only took 6 months amazing. I was rear-ended and the team got right to work. I also got a very nice settlement.” – Chavodrian Miles

“I never felt like ‘just another case’ they were working on. The communication was excellent and they kept me informed every step of the way.” – Ambur Hamilton

“You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them. They truly care about your well-being and will fight tooth and nail to get you what you deserve.” – Chad Harris

“I lost everything… my car was at a total loss and because of Attorney Manginello and my case worker Leonor… 1 year later I have gained so much in return plus a brand new truck.” – Kiimarii Yup

“They make you feel like family and even though the process may take some time, they make it feel like a breeze. They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” – Glenda Walker

What You Can Recover in a Car Accident Case

The compensation you may be entitled to depends on the specifics of your case, but generally includes:

Economic Damages

These are quantifiable financial losses, including:

  • Medical expenses – past and future medical bills related to your injuries
  • Lost wages – income you’ve lost due to time off work
  • Lost earning capacity – if your injuries affect your ability to earn money in the future
  • Property damage – repair or replacement of your vehicle and other damaged property
  • Out-of-pocket expenses – transportation to medical appointments, home modifications, etc.

Non-Economic Damages

These compensate for the physical and emotional toll of your injuries:

  • Pain and suffering – physical pain and discomfort from your injuries
  • Mental anguish – emotional distress, anxiety, depression
  • Physical impairment – loss of physical function or abilities
  • Disfigurement – scarring or permanent changes to your appearance
  • Loss of consortium – impact on your relationship with your spouse
  • Loss of enjoyment of life – inability to participate in activities you previously enjoyed

Punitive Damages

In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, such as drunk driving, you may be entitled to punitive damages. These are designed to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior in the future.

Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions, demonstrating our ability to fight for maximum compensation.

Factors That Increase Your Case Value

Several factors can significantly increase the value of your car accident claim:

  1. Clear liability – When the other driver is clearly at fault (e.g., ran a red light, was drunk, or was texting)
  2. Severe injuries – Catastrophic injuries like brain damage, paralysis, or amputations
  3. High medical bills – Extensive treatment, surgery, or long-term care needs
  4. Significant lost wages – If you’re unable to work or have to change careers
  5. Permanent impairment – Injuries that will affect you for the rest of your life
  6. Sympathetic plaintiff – Factors like young age, being a parent, or having a good work history
  7. Egregious conduct – Drunk driving, hit and run, or other reckless behavior
  8. Strong evidence – Video footage, witness statements, or expert testimony
  9. Multiple liable parties – More than one person or entity at fault

Factors That Can Decrease Your Case Value

Insurance companies will look for any reason to reduce your settlement. Common factors they use include:

  1. Disputed liability – When fault isn’t clear or is shared
  2. Gaps in medical treatment – Missing appointments or stopping treatment
  3. Pre-existing conditions – Prior injuries to the same body part
  4. Social media activity – Posts that can be taken out of context
  5. Recorded statements – Saying something that hurts your case
  6. Comparative negligence – If you’re found partially at fault (Texas uses a 51% bar rule)
  7. Minor injuries – Soft tissue injuries with quick recovery
  8. Low property damage – If your vehicle wasn’t badly damaged
  9. Delay in hiring an attorney – Waiting too long can hurt your case

This is why it’s crucial to call Attorney911 immediately after your accident. We can help you avoid these pitfalls and build the strongest possible case.

The Texas Comparative Negligence Rule: How It Affects Your Case

Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault for the accident. Here’s how it works:

  • If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault
  • If you’re 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages

For example:

  • If you’re 10% at fault in a $100,000 case, you’d receive $90,000
  • If you’re 25% at fault in a $250,000 case, you’d receive $187,500
  • If you’re 50% at fault in a $500,000 case, you’d receive $250,000
  • If you’re 51% at fault in any case, you’d receive $0

Insurance companies often try to assign you maximum fault to reduce their payout. Having a former insurance defense attorney like Lupe Peña on your side is invaluable in countering these arguments.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Renner

The actions you take in the hours and days following your accident can significantly impact your case. Here’s what you should do:

At the Scene:

  1. Check for injuries – Call 911 if anyone is hurt
  2. Move to safety – If possible, move vehicles out of traffic
  3. Call the police – A police report is crucial evidence
  4. Exchange information – Get the other driver’s name, contact info, insurance details, and license plate number
  5. Document the scene – Take photos of vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, and traffic signals
  6. Talk to witnesses – Get names and contact information
  7. Don’t admit fault – Stick to the facts when talking to police and others

After Leaving the Scene:

  1. Seek medical attention – Even if you feel fine, get checked out
  2. Follow your doctor’s advice – Attend all follow-up appointments
  3. Document everything – Keep records of medical visits, expenses, and time off work
  4. Don’t give recorded statements – Insurance adjusters will try to get you to say something that hurts your case
  5. Don’t post on social media – Insurance companies monitor your accounts
  6. Call Attorney911 – Before speaking to any insurance company, call 1-888-ATTY-911

In the Days and Weeks Following:

  1. Continue medical treatment – Don’t stop until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement
  2. Keep a pain journal – Document your symptoms and how they affect your daily life
  3. Follow work restrictions – If your doctor says you can’t work, don’t
  4. Stay in touch with your attorney – Keep us updated on your medical progress
  5. Be patient – Don’t rush into a settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries

Why Renner Residents Choose Attorney911

1. Insurance Defense Insider Advantage

  • Value claims using software like Colossus
  • Train adjusters to minimize payouts
  • Select IME doctors who favor insurance companies
  • Build cases against accident victims
  • Use delay tactics to pressure victims into accepting lowball offers

This insider knowledge is your unfair advantage in securing maximum compensation.

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

Our results speak for themselves, and insurance companies know we’re not afraid to take cases to trial if necessary.

3. Federal Court Experience

This means you can get the legal representation you need without adding financial stress to an already difficult situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents in Renner

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Renner?

If you’ve been in an accident in Renner:

  1. Call 911 and report the accident
  2. Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine
  3. Document everything with photos and witness information
  4. Exchange information with the other driver
  5. Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company
  6. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance

Should I call the police even for a minor accident?

Yes, always call the police. In Texas, you’re required to report accidents that result in injury, death, or property damage over $1,000. A police report is crucial evidence for your claim.

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

Absolutely. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately due to adrenaline. Common delayed symptoms include:

  • Headaches that worsen over time (sign of traumatic brain injury)
  • Neck or back pain (whiplash or spinal injuries)
  • Abdominal pain (internal bleeding)
  • Numbness or tingling (nerve damage)

Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you, so it’s important to get checked out right away.

What information should I collect at the scene?

Collect as much information as possible:

  • Other driver: name, phone, address, driver’s license number, insurance information
  • Vehicle: make, model, color, license plate number
  • Witnesses: names and phone numbers
  • Photos: 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?

Only exchange basic information. Do NOT:

  • Discuss fault
  • Apologize or say “I’m sorry”
  • Give your opinion on what happened
  • Speculate about the cause of the accident

Stick to the facts only.

How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?

In Renner and Dallas County, 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 for guidance.

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 your injuries
  • Accept any settlement offers

Do I have to accept the insurance company’s estimate?

No. Their estimate is just an offer, and it’s usually far below what your case is worth. Attorney911 fights for what you’re truly entitled to.

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 I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover compensation if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is called the “eggshell plaintiff” rule – the defendant takes you as they find you.

When should I hire a car accident lawyer?

Immediately. Evidence disappears daily, and insurance companies start building their case against you from day one. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 as soon as possible.

How much time do I have to file (statute of limitations)?

In Texas, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is absolute – miss it and your case is 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 damages (reduced by your percentage of fault). If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial. However, Attorney911 prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach gives us leverage in negotiations and often results in higher settlement offers.

How long will my case take to settle?

It depends on the severity of your injuries. We don’t settle until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI), which could be 6 months for minor injuries or 18-24 months for serious injuries.

What is the legal process step-by-step?

  1. Investigation and evidence gathering
  2. Medical treatment to MMI
  3. Demand letter to insurance
  4. Negotiation
  5. Lawsuit if necessary
  6. Discovery
  7. Mediation
  8. Trial if needed

What is my case worth?

It depends on factors like injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and impact on your life. Cases range from $15,000 for minor injuries to millions for catastrophic cases.

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, and there is no cap on these damages (except in medical malpractice cases).

What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?

Your own UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage can compensate you when the other driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage. Texas allows inter-policy stacking.

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 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

Should I post about my accident on social media?

NO. Make all profiles private, don’t post about the accident, injuries, or activities. Insurance companies monitor everything.

Why shouldn’t I sign anything without a lawyer?

Releases are permanent, medical authorizations give unlimited access, and settlement offers are binding. Once signed, you can’t undo it.

What if I didn’t see a doctor right away?

See one now and explain you didn’t realize the severity of your injuries. Delayed symptoms are common, and we can still help.

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover compensation if the accident aggravated your pre-existing condition. We hire medical experts to prove the difference between your condition before and after the accident.

Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current lawyer?

Yes, you can fire your attorney at any time. Attorney911 has taken over many cases from other attorneys who weren’t communicating or fighting hard enough for their clients.

“In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.” – Greg Garcia

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

UM/UIM claims are against your own insurance when the other driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage. Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would, so you still need attorney representation.

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, 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 (much shorter than the 2-year statute of limitations). These cases are complex and require experienced legal representation.

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

File a police report immediately. Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver is unidentified. Surveillance footage is critical, as most is deleted within 7-30 days.

What if I’m an undocumented immigrant – can I still file a claim?

YES. Your immigration status does not affect your right to compensation for injuries. Your case is confidential, and we’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish.

What if the accident happened in a parking lot?

Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often try to argue that parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault, but this isn’t 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. The driver’s insurance covers passengers, and there are no comparative fault issues since you weren’t driving.

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, and the estate may have assets.
