Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers in Helotes, Texas – Attorney911 Fights for You

If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident in Helotes, Texas, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of Bexar County residents suffer injuries in car crashes, truck collisions, and other traffic incidents on our local roads. At Attorney911, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these accidents take on victims and their families. With over 25 years of experience serving Texas accident victims, our Helotes car accident lawyers are here to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Why Helotes Accident Victims Choose Attorney911

Helotes sits at the intersection of several major roadways, including Loop 1604 and FM 471, making it a high-traffic area prone to accidents. When you’re injured in a crash, you need more than just a lawyer – you need a legal team with deep Texas roots and proven results. Here’s what sets our firm apart:

1. Insurance Defense Insider Advantage

Our firm includes former insurance defense attorney Lupe Peña, who spent years working for national insurance companies. He knows exactly how they value claims, calculate settlements, and build cases against accident victims. Now, he uses that insider knowledge to fight FOR you, not against you.

“Lupe Peña worked for a number of years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims.” – Attorney911 Firm History

2. Multi-Million Dollar Results for Helotes Clients

We’ve recovered millions for accident victims across Texas, including cases involving:

  • Traumatic brain injuries with vision loss (multi-million dollar settlement)
  • Car accident amputations (settled in the millions)
  • Trucking wrongful death cases (recovered millions for families)
  • Maritime injuries (significant cash settlements)

3. Federal Court Experience for Complex Cases

Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving us the capability to handle complex cases that other firms can’t. Our firm was one of the few involved in BP explosion litigation, demonstrating our ability to take on billion-dollar corporations.

4. Personal Attention You Deserve

Unlike high-volume firms where you’re just a case number, we treat every client like family. As Helotes client Chad Harris shared:

“You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.” – Chad Harris, Helotes accident victim

5. No Fee Unless We Win

We work on a contingency fee basis – you pay nothing unless we win your case. This means no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no financial risk to you.

Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Helotes

Helotes’ unique location and roadways create specific accident risks. Here are the most common types of crashes we handle:

Car Accidents in Helotes

With over 251,977 people injured in Texas motor vehicle crashes in 2024, car accidents remain the most common type of collision. In Helotes, we frequently see crashes at busy intersections like Loop 1604 and Shaenfield Road, as well as on FM 471 and Bandera Road.

Common causes of Helotes car accidents:

  • Distracted driving (380 deaths in Texas in 2024)
  • Speeding on rural roads
  • Failure to yield at intersections
  • Running red lights
  • Following too closely on highways
  • DUI/DWI (1,053 alcohol-impaired driving deaths in Texas)

Common injuries in car accidents:

  • Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
  • Herniated discs
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal organ damage

Case result: 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.

18-Wheeler and Trucking Accidents

Helotes sits near major trucking corridors, with I-10 and Loop 1604 seeing heavy commercial traffic. In 2024, Texas saw 39,393 commercial motor vehicle crashes, resulting in 608 fatalities and 1,601 serious injuries.

Why trucking accidents are more complex:

  • Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loader, manufacturer)
  • Higher insurance limits ($750,000 – $5,000,000+ policies)
  • Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations
  • Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data that can be overwritten

FMCSA regulations we enforce:

  • Hours of Service (HOS): Max 11 hours driving after 10 hours off-duty
  • Cannot drive past 14th consecutive hour on duty
  • 30-minute break required after 8 hours driving
  • 60/70-hour weekly limits
  • Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) mandatory

Case result: 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.

Drunk Driving Accidents

With 1,053 alcohol-impaired driving deaths in Texas in 2024 (25.37% of all fatalities), drunk driving remains a serious problem in Helotes and surrounding Bexar County.

Texas Dram Shop Law (TABC § 2.02):
Bars, restaurants, and other establishments can be held liable if they served someone who was obviously intoxicated. Signs of obvious intoxication include:

  • Slurred speech
  • Bloodshot/glassy eyes
  • Unsteady gait/stumbling
  • Impaired coordination
  • Aggressive or erratic behavior
  • Strong odor of alcohol

Why drunk driving cases often result in higher settlements:

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

Our criminal defense experience strengthens your civil case:
We’ve successfully defended DWI cases, giving us unique insight into how these cases are investigated and prosecuted. This knowledge helps us build stronger civil cases for our clients.

Motorcycle Accidents

Texas saw 585 motorcyclist fatalities in 2024, with 37% not wearing helmets. Helotes riders face particular risks on rural roads like FM 471 and Bandera Road.

Texas helmet law:

  • Required for all riders under 21
  • Riders 21+ exempt if they’ve completed a safety course OR have $10,000+ medical insurance

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Helotes:

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

Why insurance companies try to blame motorcyclists:
Texas uses the 51% comparative fault rule, meaning if you’re found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies routinely try to assign maximum fault to motorcyclists. Lupe’s insurance defense experience helps us counter these arguments.

Pedestrian Accidents

With 6,095 pedestrian crashes in Texas in 2024 resulting in 768 fatalities, pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. In Helotes, we see pedestrian accidents near schools, shopping centers, and on busy roads like Loop 1604.

Critical legal point for pedestrians:
Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right-of-way at intersections in Texas – even at unmarked crosswalks. Many drivers don’t know this, and insurance companies won’t tell you.

Common injuries in pedestrian accidents:

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

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

With 17.4 million daily Uber trips worldwide, rideshare accidents are becoming more common in Helotes. The complex insurance structure makes these cases particularly challenging.

Rideshare insurance phases:

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

Why this matters for victims:
Insurance coverage varies dramatically based on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash. This complexity is why you need an experienced Helotes rideshare accident attorney.

Hit and Run Accidents

Hit and run accidents occur every 43 seconds in the U.S. In Texas, leaving the scene of an accident is a serious crime:

Severity Charge Penalty
Death 2nd Degree Felony 2-20 years prison, up to $10K fine
Serious Bodily Injury 3rd Degree Felony 2-10 years prison, up to $10K fine
Minor Injury State Jail Felony Up to 5 years, up to $5K fine
Property Damage ≥$200 Class B Misdemeanor Up to 6 months jail, up to $2K fine

What to do after a hit and run in Helotes:

  1. Call 911 and report the accident
  2. Document everything (photos, witness info)
  3. DO NOT chase the fleeing driver
  4. Call Attorney911 immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911
  5. Your UM/UIM coverage can compensate you

Other Common Accident Types in Helotes

Bicycle Accidents: With 78 cyclist fatalities in Texas in 2024, we help cyclists injured on Helotes roads and trails.

Bus Accidents: Texas saw 1,110 bus accidents in 2024, including school bus crashes. Liable parties may include the driver, bus company, or manufacturer.

Construction Zone Accidents: Nearly 28,000 crashes occurred in Texas work zones in 2024, resulting in 215 deaths – a 12% increase over the previous year.

Delivery Vehicle Accidents: With the rise of Amazon, FedEx, and DoorDash, delivery vehicle accidents are increasing. These cases often involve complex liability issues.

What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident in Helotes

Immediate Steps (First 48 Hours)

Hour 1-6:
Safety First: If you can move safely, get to a secure location away from traffic
Call 911: Report the accident, request medical assistance if anyone is injured
Medical Attention: Get checked even if you feel fine – adrenaline masks injuries
Document Everything:

  • Take photos of ALL vehicle damage (every angle)
  • Photograph the accident scene, road conditions, traffic signals
  • Take photos of visible injuries
  • Screenshot any messages visible on your phone
    Exchange Information:
  • Other driver’s name, phone, address
  • Insurance company and policy number
  • Driver’s license number
  • License plate number
  • Vehicle make, model, color
    Witnesses: Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses
    Call Attorney911: 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance before speaking to ANY insurance company

Hour 6-24:
Digital Preservation:

  • Preserve all texts, calls, photos, videos related to the accident
  • Do NOT delete anything from your phone
  • Screenshot everything relevant
  • Email copies to yourself for backup
    Physical Evidence:
  • Secure damaged clothing, glasses, personal items
  • Keep receipts for any expenses (towing, rental car, medications)
  • Do NOT repair your vehicle yet – preserve the damage
    Medical Records:
  • Request copies of all ER/hospital records
  • Keep all discharge paperwork
  • 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
  • Do NOT sign anything
  • Do NOT accept any settlement offers
  • Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first”
    Social Media:
  • Make ALL profiles private immediately
  • Do NOT post about the accident
  • Do NOT post photos of injuries or activities
  • Tell friends/family not to tag you in posts

Hour 24-48:
Legal Consultation: Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation
Insurance Response: Refer all insurance communications to your attorney
Settlement Offers: Do NOT accept or sign anything without lawyer review
Evidence Backup: Upload all screenshots and photos to cloud storage

Why Time is Critical

Evidence disappears quickly:

  • Surveillance footage deleted in 7-30 days
  • Witness memories fade within days
  • ELD/black box data can be overwritten in 30-180 days
  • Insurance companies start building their case against you immediately

“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.” – Lupe Peña, former insurance defense attorney

Texas Motor Vehicle Accident Laws You Need to Know

Statute of Limitations

Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003 gives you:

  • 2 years from the date of accident for personal injury claims
  • 2 years from the date of death for wrongful death claims

Miss the deadline and your case is barred forever.

Comparative Negligence (51% Rule)

Texas uses modified comparative negligence:

  • If you’re 50% or less at fault → You can recover damages (reduced by your % of fault)
  • If you’re 51% or more at fault → You recover NOTHING

Example:

  • $100,000 case value
  • You’re 20% at fault → You recover $80,000
  • You’re 51% at fault → You recover $0

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

Texas Minimum Auto Insurance

Texas requires minimum coverage of:

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

But 15.4% of Texas drivers are uninsured. Your UM/UIM coverage is critical for protection.

How Insurance Companies Try to Minimize Your Claim

Having a former insurance defense attorney on our team gives us unique insight into their tactics:

Tactic #1: Quick Contact & Recorded Statement

What they do: Call you within hours of the accident, often while you’re still in the hospital or on pain medication.

What they say:

  • “We just want to help you”
  • “We need your side of the story”
  • “This is routine, everyone does this”

What they’re really doing: Building their defense against you with leading questions like:

  • “You’re feeling better now though, right?”
  • “It wasn’t that bad of an impact, was it?”
  • “You were able to walk away from the scene?”

Our counter: We handle all communications with insurance companies so you don’t accidentally say something that hurts your case.

Tactic #2: Quick Settlement Offer

What they do: Offer quick money within days or weeks of the accident.

What they say:

  • “This offer expires in 48 hours”
  • “Take it or leave it”
  • “This is our final offer” (it’s not)

The trap: You don’t know the extent of your injuries yet. Early offers are ALWAYS lowball offers.

Our counter: We never settle before you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).

Tactic #3: “Independent” Medical Exam (IME)

What they call it: “Independent Medical Examination”

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

How they choose IME doctors: Based on who gives insurance-favorable reports, not who’s most qualified.

What happens at IME:

  • 10-15 minute “examination”
  • Cursory physical exam
  • Look for ANY reason to minimize injuries

Common IME findings:

  • “Patient has pre-existing degenerative changes”
  • “Injuries consistent with minor trauma”
  • “Patient can return to full duty work”
  • “Subjective complaints out of proportion to objective findings”

Our counter: Lupe knows these specific doctors and their biases – he hired them for years when he worked for insurance companies.

Tactic #4: Delay and Financial Pressure

What they do: Drag out your case hoping you’ll get desperate.

What they say:

  • “Still investigating your claim”
  • “Waiting for medical records”
  • “Reviewing your file”

Why it works: You have mounting bills and need money now, while they have unlimited time and resources.

Our counter: We file lawsuits to force deadlines and prepare for trial to show we’re serious.

Tactic #5: Surveillance & Social Media Monitoring

What they do:

  • Hire private investigators to video you
  • Monitor ALL your social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
  • Take innocent activity out of context

Examples we’ve defended:

  • Old gym photo from 3 years ago presented as recent
  • Restaurant check-in interpreted as “partying”
  • Friend’s comment “Had fun yesterday!” used as evidence

7 Rules for clients:

  1. Make ALL profiles private immediately
  2. DON’T post about accident, injuries, or activities
  3. Tell friends/family not to tag you
  4. Don’t accept friend requests from strangers
  5. BEST: Stay off social media entirely during your case
  6. Assume EVERYTHING is being monitored
  7. Remember: They’re not documenting your life – they’re building ammunition against you

“I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos and social media posts as defense attorney. Here’s the truth: Insurance companies take innocent activity out of context. They freeze ONE frame of you moving ‘normally’ and ignore the 10 minutes of you struggling before and after.” – Lupe Peña

Tactic #6: Comparative Fault Arguments

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

What they say:

  • “You were speeding” (without evidence)
  • “You weren’t paying attention”
  • “You could have avoided this”
  • “You contributed to this accident”

Why they do this: Texas’ 51% bar rule means if you’re 51%+ at fault, you get nothing. Even small fault percentages cost you thousands.

Our counter: We conduct aggressive liability investigations, including accident reconstruction and witness statements.

Types of Compensation You Can Recover

Economic Damages (No Cap in Texas)

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Out-of-pocket expenses

Non-Economic Damages (No Cap in Texas)

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Physical impairment
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium

Punitive/Exemplary Damages (Capped)

Available for gross negligence, fraud, or malice. Common in drunk driving cases.

Cap: Greater of $200,000 OR 2x economic damages + 1x non-economic damages (capped at $750,000 for non-economic portion).

Why Helotes Accident Victims Choose Attorney911

1. Insurance Defense Insider Advantage

“Lupe Peña worked for a number of years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims.”

This insider knowledge is our most powerful advantage. Lupe spent years:

  • Calculating claim values for insurance companies
  • Selecting IME doctors who would minimize injuries
  • Deploying delay tactics
  • Making comparative fault arguments
  • Using Colossus software to calculate minimum payouts

Now, he uses that knowledge to fight FOR victims, not against them.

2. Multi-Million Dollar Results

Our results speak for themselves:

  • Multi-million dollar settlement for client who suffered brain injury with vision loss
  • 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
  • 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
  • In a recent case, our client injured his back while lifting cargo on a ship. Our investigation revealed that he should have been assisted in this duty, and we were able to reach a significant cash settlement

3. Federal Court Experience

Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. This federal court experience is crucial for:

  • Complex trucking cases (FMCSA regulations)
  • Cases against out-of-state defendants
  • High-value cases that may exceed state court limits
  • Our involvement in BP explosion litigation demonstrates our capability to take on billion-dollar corporations

4. Personal Attention You Won’t Get Elsewhere

“I never felt like ‘just another case’ they were working on.” – Ambur Hamilton

“Leonor and Amanda were amazing, they walked me through everything with my car accident.” – Kelly Hunsicker

At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, not case managers or paralegals. As client Dame Haskett shared:

“Consistent communication and not one time did I call and not get a clear answer…Ralph reached out personally.”

5. Contingency Fee – No Risk to You

  • Free consultation
  • No upfront costs
  • No hourly fees
  • We advance all case expenses
  • You pay nothing unless we win

Frequently Asked Questions About Helotes Car Accidents

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

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

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:

  • Traumatic brain injuries can take days to manifest
  • Internal bleeding may not be obvious
  • Herniated discs may not cause pain for weeks
  • Adrenaline masks pain at the scene

Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you. Get checked immediately.

What information should I collect at the scene?

  • 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

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

How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?

In Helotes, you can obtain the police report from the Helotes Police Department or through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS).

Should I give a recorded statement to insurance?

To the other driver’s insurance: NO. Not without an attorney.
To your own insurance: You have a duty to cooperate, but call Attorney911 first. We can advise you.

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. Do NOT 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 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 – the defendant takes you as they find you.

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

When should I hire a car accident lawyer?

Immediately. Evidence disappears daily. Insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911.

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

In Texas: 2 years from the date of accident for personal injury, 2 years from the date of death for wrongful death. 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 (reduced by your fault %). If 51%+ at fault, you get nothing.

What happens if I was partially at fault?

You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial. But Attorney911 prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. That’s what gives us leverage 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, 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?

Depends on: injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, permanent impairment, pain and suffering, insurance available. Cases range from $15,000 (soft tissue) to millions (catastrophic injury).

What types of damages can I recover?

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

Can I get compensation for pain and suffering?

Yes. Pain and suffering is a significant component of personal injury cases in Texas. There is NO CAP on pain and suffering (except medical malpractice).

What if the other driver is uninsured/underinsured?

Your own UM/UIM coverage can compensate you. Texas allows inter-policy stacking. Watch our video on UM/UIM claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8

Why does insurance want me to sign a medical authorization?

They want unlimited access to your ENTIRE medical history to find pre-existing conditions to use against you. Never sign without attorney review.

What common mistakes can hurt my case?

  • Giving recorded statement without attorney
  • Accepting 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 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.

How much do car accident lawyers cost?

Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis: 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 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.

What if the accident happened in a parking lot?

Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often argue “parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault,” but this is 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. Death doesn’t eliminate liability. The insurance policy still applies.
