Why Morgan’s Point Resort Accident Victims Choose Attorney911

We Know Bell County Roads and Courts

Morgan’s Point Resort sits along the shores of Belton Lake, attracting boaters, fishermen, and tourists year-round. While this scenic location brings economic benefits to our community, it also creates unique traffic challenges:

• Increased traffic during peak boating seasons
• Truck traffic from local businesses and lake supply deliveries
• Tourist drivers unfamiliar with local roads
• Dangerous intersections near lake access points
• Nighttime visibility issues on unlit rural roads

Our firm has handled cases throughout Bell County, from Temple and Belton to Killeen and Nolanville. We know the local courts, the judges, and the insurance adjusters who handle claims in this area. When you hire Attorney911, you’re getting a team that understands the unique challenges of Morgan’s Point Resort accident cases.

Former Insurance Defense Attorney on Your Side

Most law firms only know how to fight insurance companies from the outside. Attorney911 has an insider advantage – our associate attorney Lupe Peña spent years working for a national insurance defense firm. He knows exactly how insurance companies:

• Calculate claim values using software like Colossus
• Select “independent” medical examiners who always find for the insurance company
• Use surveillance to catch victims in “gotcha” moments
• Delay and deny claims hoping you’ll give up
• Train adjusters to seem friendly while gathering evidence against 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, Associate Attorney

This insider knowledge is your unfair advantage. While other firms are learning how insurance companies operate, we’re already three steps ahead – because we used to be on their side.

Proven Results for Bell County Accident Victims

Our results speak for themselves. In a recent case, we helped a client whose leg was injured in a car accident right here in Bell County. During treatment, staff infections developed, and doctors ultimately had to perform a partial amputation. The insurance company offered just $50,000, claiming the amputation was a “medical complication” not related to the accident. We brought in medical experts who proved the amputation was a direct result of the accident injuries. The case settled in the millions – not the $50,000 they initially offered.

“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.” – Attorney911 Case Result

We’ve also recovered millions for clients who suffered:

• Traumatic brain injuries with permanent vision loss
• Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
• Wrongful death claims for families who lost loved ones
• Catastrophic injuries requiring lifetime care

Bell County Residents Trust Attorney911

“I was rear-ended on my way to Belton Lake and thought I’d have to fight the insurance company alone. Attorney911 got right to work and I received a very nice settlement. They made the whole process so much easier during a really stressful time.” – MONGO S., Morgan’s Point Resort

“Especially Miss Zulema, who is always very kind and always translates. They solved my case in a couple of months after other lawyers did nothing for two years.” – Celia D., Spanish-speaking client

Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Morgan’s Point Resort

Car Accidents – The Most Common Danger on Bell County Roads

With 251,977 people injured in Texas motor vehicle crashes last year, car accidents are the most common – and most dangerous – type of collision in Morgan’s Point Resort and throughout Bell County. Whether you’re commuting to work in Temple, driving to Belton for shopping, or heading to Fort Hood, the risk is real.

Common causes of car accidents in Bell County:

• Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
• Speeding on rural roads and highways
• Failure to yield at intersections
• Running red lights or stop signs
• Following too closely (rear-end collisions)
• Drunk or drugged driving
• Fatigued driving (especially among shift workers)
• Poor weather conditions (rain, fog)

Common injuries we see in car accident cases:

• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Broken bones and fractures
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety)

“I was rear-ended on FM 439 near the lake access road. At first I thought I was fine, but the next day my neck and back were in terrible pain. Attorney911 helped me get the medical treatment I needed and recovered a settlement that covered all my bills and more.” – Chad H., Morgan’s Point Resort

What to do after a car accident in Morgan’s Point Resort:

1. Call 911 and report the accident
2. Seek medical attention immediately (even if you feel fine)
3. Document everything with photos and videos
4. Exchange information with the other driver
5. Get witness names and contact information
6. Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company
7. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to adjusters

Trucking Accidents – When Big Rigs Cause Big Problems

Bell County sits along I-35, one of the busiest trucking corridors in America. With major distribution centers in Temple and Killeen, our roads see heavy commercial traffic. When an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic.

Trucking accident statistics for Texas:

• 39,393 commercial motor vehicle crashes in Texas last year
• 608 trucking fatalities and 1,601 serious injuries
• Texas accounts for 11% of ALL fatal truck crashes nationwide
• 549 fatal truck accidents resulted in 620 deaths

Why trucking accidents are more complex:

• Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loader, manufacturer)
• Higher insurance limits ($750,000 to $5,000,000+ policies)
• Federal regulations (FMCSA Hours of Service rules)
• Critical evidence (ELD data, driver logs, maintenance records)
• Severe injuries (TBI, spinal cord injuries, amputations, wrongful death)

Common FMCSA violations we investigate:

• Hours of Service violations (driving beyond 11-hour limit)
• Inadequate driver training
• Poor vehicle maintenance
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
• Drug and alcohol violations
• False logbook entries

“At Attorney911, our personal injury attorneys have helped numerous injured individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation.” – Attorney911 Case Result

Recent Texas trucking verdicts show what’s possible:

• $37.5 million – Oncor Electric (distracted truck driver)
• $44.1 million – New Prime I-35 pileup (6 deaths)
• $35 million – Ben E. Keith (Fort Worth trucking case)
• $105 million – Lopez v. All Points 360 (Amazon DSP case)

Drunk Driving Accidents – Holding Drunk Drivers AND Bars Accountable

With 1,053 alcohol-impaired driving deaths in Texas last year (25.37% of all fatalities), drunk driving remains a serious problem in Bell County. Whether it’s someone leaving a bar in Temple, a restaurant in Belton, or a party in Morgan’s Point Resort, drunk drivers put everyone at risk.

Texas Dram Shop Law (TABC § 2.02):
Under Texas law, bars, restaurants, and liquor stores can be held liable if they:

1. Served alcohol to someone who was obviously intoxicated, AND
2. The over-service was the proximate cause of the accident

Signs of obvious intoxication:

• Slurred speech
• Bloodshot or glassy eyes
• Unsteady gait or stumbling
• Impaired coordination
• Aggressive or erratic behavior
• Strong odor of alcohol
• Difficulty standing or walking straight

Potentially liable establishments in Bell County:

• Bars and nightclubs (especially near Fort Hood)
• Restaurants serving alcohol
• Liquor stores
• Event venues (concerts, festivals)
• Social hosts (limited circumstances)

Why drunk driving cases often settle for more:

• Punitive damages available for gross negligence
• Multiple defendants (driver + bar/restaurant)
• Criminal case strengthens civil case
• Insurance cannot defend the indefensible

“Our client was hit head-on by a drunk driver who had been served at a local bar despite being visibly intoxicated. We not only pursued the driver but also the establishment under Texas Dram Shop laws. The case settled for a confidential multi-million dollar amount.” – Ralph Manginello

Motorcycle Accidents – Protecting Bell County Riders

With the scenic routes around Belton Lake and the open roads of rural Bell County, our area attracts many motorcycle enthusiasts. Unfortunately, Texas saw 585 motorcyclist fatalities last year, with 37% of those killed not wearing helmets.

Texas motorcycle laws:

• Helmets required for all riders under 21
• Riders 21+ exempt if they’ve completed a safety course OR have $10,000+ in medical insurance
• No statewide helmet requirement for adult riders

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Bell County:

• Failure to yield right of way (most common cause)
• Driver inattention/distraction
• Unsafe lane changes
• Left-turn accidents (T-bone/head-on)
• Speeding/reckless driving
• Road hazards (gravel, potholes, debris)

Why insurance companies blame motorcyclists:
Texas uses the 51% comparative fault rule, which 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 companies always try to assign maximum fault to the rider. Our team, including former insurance defense attorney Lupe Peña, knows exactly how they make these arguments – because we used to make them. Now we defeat them.

“I was hit by a car that turned left in front of me on FM 2305. The insurance company tried to say I was speeding and partially at fault. Attorney911 proved the other driver was 100% responsible and got me a settlement that covered my medical bills and my new bike.” – Jamin M., Temple

Pedestrian Accidents – When Walkers Become Victims

With 6,095 pedestrian crashes in Texas last year resulting in 768 fatalities, pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users in Morgan’s Point Resort and throughout Bell County. In fact, while pedestrians account for just 1% of all crashes, they represent 19% of all roadway deaths.

Critical legal point for pedestrians:
Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right-of-way at intersections under Texas law – even at unmarked crosswalks. Many drivers don’t know this. Insurance companies won’t tell you this. But we will.

“Anytime there’s an intersection of two streets, the distance between them is a crosswalk – even if it’s unmarked. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in these areas.” – Texas Transportation Code

Common locations for pedestrian accidents in Bell County:

• Crosswalks near schools and shopping centers
• Parking lots (especially near Belton Lake and popular restaurants)
• Rural roads without sidewalks
• Bus stops and public transportation areas
• Areas with poor lighting at night

Common injuries in pedestrian accidents:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken pelvis and legs
• Internal organ damage
• Fatalities

“Our client was struck while crossing the street in downtown Belton. The driver claimed our client ‘came out of nowhere,’ but surveillance footage proved otherwise. We recovered a significant settlement that will help our client with his long-term care needs.” – Attorney911 Case Result

Rideshare Accidents – Uber, Lyft, and Insurance Complexities

With the convenience of rideshare services comes complexity when accidents occur. Uber and Lyft accidents in Morgan’s Point Resort and Bell County present unique challenges because insurance coverage changes based on what the driver was doing at the exact moment of the crash.

Rideshare insurance phases:

Phase	Driver Status	Coverage Available
0 – Offline	App off, personal use	Personal insurance only ($30K/$60K/$25K minimum in Texas)
1 – Waiting	App on, no ride request	Contingent coverage: $50K/$100K/$25K
2 – Accepted	Ride accepted, en route to pickup	Full commercial: $1,000,000 liability
3 – Transporting	Passenger in vehicle	Full commercial: $1,000,000 liability

Who can be injured in rideshare accidents:

• 21% Riders (passengers in Uber/Lyft)
• 21% Drivers (Uber/Lyft drivers)
• 58% Third parties (other drivers, pedestrians, passengers in other vehicles)

“Our client was hit by an Uber driver who was waiting for a ride request (Phase 1). The driver’s personal insurance company claimed they weren’t responsible, and Uber initially denied coverage. We proved the driver was in Phase 1 and secured full compensation for our client’s injuries.” – Lupe Peña

What to Do After a Car Accident in Morgan’s Point Resort

The 48-Hour Evidence Preservation Protocol

EVIDENCE DISAPPEARS DAILY. What you do in the first 48 hours after your accident can make or break your case. Follow this protocol to protect your rights:

Hour 1-6 (Immediate Crisis Response)

✅ Safety First – If you can move safely, get to a secure location away from traffic
✅ Call 911 – Report the accident and request medical assistance if anyone is injured
✅ Medical Attention – Get to the ER immediately. Adrenaline masks injuries – you may be hurt and not know it yet
✅ Document Everything – Take photos of ALL vehicle damage (every angle), the accident scene, road conditions, traffic signals, and visible injuries
✅ Exchange Information – Other driver’s name, phone, address, insurance company, policy number, driver’s license, license plate, vehicle make/model/color
✅ Witnesses – Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses. Ask if they saw what happened.
✅ Call Attorney911 – 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance before speaking to ANY insurance company

Hour 6-24 (Evidence Preservation)

✅ Digital Preservation – Preserve all texts, calls, photos, videos related to the accident. Do NOT delete anything.
✅ Physical Evidence – Secure damaged clothing, glasses, personal items. Keep receipts for any expenses.
✅ Medical Records – Request copies of all ER/hospital records. Follow up with your primary care physician within 24-48 hours.
✅ Insurance Communications – Note any calls from insurance companies. Do NOT give recorded statements yet.
✅ Social Media – Make ALL profiles private immediately. Do NOT post about the accident or your injuries.

Hour 24-48 (Strategic Decisions)

✅ Legal Consultation – Speak with an experienced Morgan’s Point Resort car accident attorney
✅ Insurance Response – If insurance contacts you, refer them to your attorney
✅ Settlement Offers – Do NOT accept or sign anything without lawyer review
✅ Evidence Backup – Upload all screenshots and photos to cloud storage. Email copies to yourself and a family member.

Week One Priorities

✅ Medical Follow-Up – Continue documenting all injuries. See specialists if recommended.
✅ Investigation Begins – Attorney obtains police report, sends preservation letters, secures surveillance footage
✅ Communication – Attorney handles ALL insurance communication. You focus on recovery.

Evidence Deterioration Timeline – Why Time is Critical

Timeframe	What Disappears	Why It Matters
Day 1-7	Witness memories peak, then fade	Details forgotten, stories change
Day 7-30	Surveillance footage deleted	Gas stations: 7-14 days, retail stores: 30 days
Month 1-2	Insurance companies solidify defense	Adjusters build file against you
Month 2-6	Trucking electronic data deleted	ELD data: 30-180 days, black box data overwritten
Month 6-12	Witnesses become unreachable	Move away, change jobs, memory fades
Month 12-24	Approaching statute of limitations	Creates pressure to settle cheap

“Every day you wait, evidence disappears. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is typically deleted within 7-30 days. We immediately send preservation letters to secure this critical evidence.” – Ralph Manginello

Texas Motor Vehicle Accident Law – What Morgan’s Point Resort Victims Need to Know

Statute of Limitations – The 2-Year Deadline

Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003 gives you 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.

Exceptions that may extend the deadline:

• Discovery Rule – If injury wasn’t immediately discoverable
• Defendant Absence – If defendant leaves Texas
• Mental Incapacity – During period of incapacity
• Minors – Tolling until 18th birthday

“I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had to turn away clients who waited too long. One man came to us 2 years and 1 week after his accident – we had to tell him there was nothing we could do. Don’t let this happen to you.” – Ralph Manginello

Comparative Negligence – The 51% Bar Rule

Texas uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar. 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

Real-world examples:

Your Fault %	Case Value	Your Recovery
0%	$100,000	$100,000
10%	$100,000	$90,000
25%	$250,000	$187,500
40%	$500,000	$300,000
50%	$500,000	$250,000
51%	$500,000	$0

Insurance companies ALWAYS try to assign maximum fault to you. Even small fault percentages can cost you thousands:

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

Lupe’s insider knowledge helps counter these arguments because he made them for years when he worked for insurance companies.

Texas Minimum Auto Insurance Requirements

Coverage Type	Minimum Required
Bodily Injury – Per Person	$30,000
Bodily Injury – Per Accident	$60,000
Property Damage – Per Accident	$25,000

Uninsured Motorist Statistics:

• 15.4% of US motorists are uninsured (approximately 1 in 7 drivers)
• UM/UIM coverage is critical for protection
• Texas allows inter-policy stacking (combining multiple UM policies)

Insurance Company Tactics – What They Don’t Want You to Know

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

What they do:

• Call within days of your accident
• Offer quick money: typically $2,000-$5,000, sometimes $10,000-$15,000
• Create artificial urgency: “This offer expires in 48 hours”
• Pressure you to accept: “Take it or leave it”

The trap:
You don’t know the extent of your injuries yet. What seems like a lot of money today could be gone in weeks when you need surgery.

“Our client was offered $3,500 just three days after her accident. She was in pain but thought it would be enough. Six weeks later, an MRI showed a herniated disc requiring surgery. The insurance company refused to pay anything more – she had already signed a release.” – Lupe Peña

What to do instead:

• NEVER settle before Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
• MMI = as good as you’ll get medically
• Could be 6 months, 12 months, 24+ months depending on injuries
• We know their offers are always lowball – Lupe calculated these for years

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

What they do:

• Call while you’re still in the hospital
• Act friendly and helpful: “We just want to help you”
• Ask for a “routine” recorded statement
• Use leading questions designed to minimize your injuries

Common questions and traps:

Question They Ask	What They Want You to Say	Why It’s a Trap
“You’re feeling better now though, right?”	“I’m improving”	Makes injuries seem minor
“It wasn’t that bad of an impact, was it?”	“No, it wasn’t too bad”	Minimizes collision severity
“You were able to walk away from the scene?”	“Yes, I walked away”	Suggests injuries not serious
“Were you distracted at all?”	“Maybe I was looking at my phone”	Gets you to admit distraction
“How fast were you going?”	“I don’t know” or “Maybe 45”	Overestimating = you were speeding

The truth:

• You are NOT required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance
• Everything you say WILL be used against you
• You cannot take it back once it’s recorded

“I’ve taken hundreds of recorded statements as a defense attorney. We’re trained to ask questions in a way that makes victims minimize their injuries. Now I use that knowledge to protect our clients.” – Lupe Peña

What to do instead:

• Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.”
• Give only basic information: name, date of accident, that you were involved
• Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 before saying another word

Tactic #3: The “Independent” Medical Exam (IME) Scheme (Months 2-6)

What they call it: “Independent Medical Examination” (IME)

What it really is: Insurance company hired doctor to minimize your injuries

How insurance companies choose IME doctors:

• Based on who gives insurance-favorable reports (not who’s most qualified)
• Doctors who consistently find “no injury” or “pre-existing condition”
• Doctors paid $2,000-$5,000 per exam by insurance companies
• Repeat business = repeat favorable reports

What happens at an 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 injuries

Common IME doctor findings:

What They Say	What It Means	How We Counter
“Patient has pre-existing degenerative changes”	Everyone over 40 has some arthritis – used to deny claims	Medical experts prove accident aggravated condition
“Injuries consistent with minor trauma”	Minimizes your pain and suffering	Treating doctors document severity and progression
“Patient can return to full duty work”	Eliminates lost wage claims	Vocational experts prove limitations
“Treatment has been excessive”	Attacks your treating doctors	Medical necessity documentation
“Subjective complaints out of proportion to objective findings”	Medical speak for calling you a LIAR	Consistent medical records and symptom documentation

How Attorney911 counters IMEs:

• Prepare you extensively before the exam
• Send complete medical records to IME doctor first (forcing review)
• 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:

• Hire private investigators to video you
• Film you doing daily activities (getting mail, walking dog, going to store)
• Look for ANY activity that contradicts injury claims
• One video of you bending over = “Not really injured”

Social media monitoring:

• Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat
• Screenshot EVERYTHING: photos, posts, check-ins, comments, likes
• 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:

Example	What Happened	Insurance Claimed	Reality
Old Gym Photo	Posted gym photo from 3 years ago	Presented as recent, contradicts injury	Proved metadata was pre-accident
Restaurant Check-in	Facebook check-in at restaurant	“Partying and having fun”	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
Smiling in Photo	Family photo where client is smiling	“Not in pain – she’s smiling!”	Everyone smiles for photos

7 Rules for Clients:

1. Make ALL profiles private immediately
2. DON’T post about accident, injuries, activities, emotions, case
3. DON’T check in anywhere
4. Tell friends/family: don’t tag, don’t post about you
5. Don’t accept friend requests from strangers (fake profiles)
6. BEST: Stay off social media entirely during case
7. Assume EVERYTHING is being monitored

“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

Tactic #5: Delay and Financial Pressure (Months 6-12+)

What they do:

• “Still investigating your claim”
• “Waiting for medical records” (that you sent months ago)
• “Reviewing your file”
• “Need additional information”
• Ignore your calls and emails
• Take weeks to respond to simple questions

Why delay works:

• Insurance companies have:

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

• You have:

  • Mounting bills
  • Zero income if you can’t work
  • Creditors threatening
  • Need money NOW

Financial desperation makes you accept less:

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

How Attorney911 counters:

• File lawsuit to force deadlines
• Set depositions forcing them to produce witnesses
• Prepare for trial showing we’re serious
• Lupe understands delay tactics because he used them – knows when to push

Tactic #6: Comparative Fault Arguments

What they do:
Try to assign you maximum fault to reduce their payment:

• “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 51% bar rule means:

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

Even small fault percentages cost thousands:

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

How Attorney911 counters:

• Aggressive liability investigation
• Accident reconstruction proving 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

Colossus – How Insurance Companies ACTUALLY Value Your Claim

The Software That Controls Your Settlement

Most insurance companies use Colossus or similar software to calculate claim values. This computerized system determines how much they’ll offer you.

How Colossus works:

1. Data Entry – Adjuster inputs injury codes, treatment, costs, jurisdiction
2. Coding – Injuries coded using standardized medical terms
3. Calculation – Software applies algorithms to determine “value”
4. Range Output – System provides recommended settlement range
5. Authority – Adjuster typically cannot exceed without supervisor approval

How Insurance Manipulates Colossus

Manipulation	Effect on Your Claim
Low Injury Codes	“Soft tissue strain” instead of “disc herniation” = 50-100% reduction
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
Age Adjustment	Older victims get lower values
Employment Status	Unemployed victims get lower values

Why Lupe’s Experience Matters

• Knows how to code injuries properly for maximum value
• Knows which medical terms trigger higher valuations
• Knows when Colossus output is artificially low
• Knows how to present records to beat the algorithm
• Worked with these systems for years as a defense attorney

Reserve Setting – The Hidden Number That Controls Your Case

What reserves are:

• Money insurance company sets aside for your claim
• Based on worst-case scenario (their estimate of trial verdict)
• Adjuster usually CANNOT settle for more than reserve without approval

How we increase reserves:

• Hiring experts (shows we’re investing in case)
• Taking depositions (creating litigation expense)
• Filing lawsuit (forces trial evaluation)
• Preparing for trial (shows we won’t back down)

Lupe understands reserve psychology and settlement authority limits – this is a game-changing advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Morgan’s Point Resort Car Accidents

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Morgan’s Point Resort?

If you’ve been in an accident in Morgan’s Point Resort or anywhere in Bell County:

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

Should I call the police even for a minor accident in Bell County?

Yes. Always call the police. The police report is critical evidence. In Texas, you must report accidents with:

• Injuries
• Deaths
• 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:

• 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 at Scott & White Medical Center – Temple, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Hillcrest, or your local emergency room.

What information should I collect at the scene?

Collect this information from the other driver:

• Full name
• Phone number
• Address
• Driver’s license number
• Insurance company and policy number
• Vehicle make, model, color
• License plate number

Also:

• Take photos of ALL vehicle damage (every angle)
• Photograph the accident scene, road conditions, traffic signals
• Take photos of visible injuries
• Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses

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 of fault)
• Do NOT give your opinion on what happened
• Stick to facts only

How do I obtain a copy of the accident report in Bell County?

You can obtain the police report from:

• The responding law enforcement agency (Morgan’s Point Resort Police, Bell County Sheriff, Texas DPS)
• The Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS)
• Through Attorney911 – we obtain all accident reports for our clients

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:

• Your name
• Date of accident
• That you were involved

Do NOT:

• Give a recorded statement
• Discuss injuries or fault
• Accept any settlement offers

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 (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage can compensate you. Texas allows inter-policy stacking. Watch our video: Uninsured & Underinsured Motorists

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 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

Insurance companies always try to assign maximum fault to you. Lupe’s experience helps counter these arguments.

What 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.

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.

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

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 (depositions, document requests)
7. Mediation
8. Trial if needed

Watch our video: What Is the Process for a Personal Injury Claim?

How much time will a lawyer spend on my case?

At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello or Lupe Peña. We don’t hand your case off to paralegals. Watch our video: Who Will Be Handling My Case?

What happens if I lose my case?

With our contingency fee, you pay nothing unless we win. Watch our video: What Happens If I Lose My Case?

Can I file a lawsuit without a lawyer?

You can, but insurance companies will take advantage of you. They have teams of lawyers working against you. Watch our video: Can I File a Lawsuit Without a Lawyer?

How do contingency fees work?

Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis:

• You pay nothing upfront
• We advance all case costs
• Our fee is a percentage of your recovery
• You pay nothing unless we win

Watch our video: How Do Contingency Fees Work?

What should I do if I already hired another attorney?

You can switch attorneys at any time. If your current attorney isn’t communicating or fighting for you, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911.

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

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.

“Especially Miss Zulema, who is always very kind and always translates. They solved my case in a couple of months after other lawyers did nothing for two years.” – Celia D.

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” – this is a lie. We prove fault through:

• Surveillance video
• Witness statements
• Damage analysis
• Traffic patterns

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.

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 policy
• Other liable parties (employer, manufacturer, etc.)

The estate may have assets. The insurance policy still applies.

What is my case worth?

Depends on:

• Injury severity
• Medical costs (past and future)
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Permanent impairment
• Pain and suffering
• Insurance available

Watch our videos:

• How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
• What Is Fair Compensation for Pain and Suffering?

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 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.

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

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

What if insurance 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.

How do you calculate pain and suffering?

Most commonly using the multiplier method:
Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain & suffering

Multiplier depends on:

• Injury severity
• Permanency
• Impact on life
• Clear liability

Watch our video: How Much Will I Get? Average Settlement Explained

What if I was hit by a government vehicle (city bus, police car, etc.)?

Government claims have special rules:

• 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

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 is deleted within 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately.

What if I’m not a U.S. citizen – can I still file a claim?

YES. Immigration status does NOT affect your right to compensation. Your case is confidential. We’ve represented clients from all over the world. Lupe is fluent in Spanish.

What if I was hit by a Tesla on Autopilot?

Tesla Autopilot accidents present unique liability issues:

• Product liability claims against Tesla
• Software defect allegations
• Marketing claims that fostered overconfidence
• Known defects (emergency vehicle detection failures)
• We handle complex product liability cases

What if I was injured in a rideshare accident (Uber/Lyft)?

Rideshare accidents have complex insurance phases. Coverage depends on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash:

• Phase 0: App off = personal insurance only ($30K/$60K/$25K)
• Phase 1: App on waiting = $50K/$100K/$25K contingent
• Phase 2: Ride accepted = $1,000,000 commercial
• Phase 3: Passenger in car = $1,000,000 commercial
