Personal Injury: Protecting Foard County’s Injured

Accidents can happen anywhere, and the consequences and legal complexities often run deeper than initially perceived. For those in Foard County involved in serious personal injury incidents, understanding your rights and having an experienced legal team by your side is crucial. We bring aggressive representation and an intimate knowledge of how insurance companies operate to maximize your compensation.

Car Accidents on Foard County’s Roads

Foard County’s roadways, from US-70 and US-183 to smaller farm-to-market roads, see a steady flow of local traffic, agricultural vehicles, and interstate travelers. Car accidents, even seemingly minor ones, can result in significant injuries and mounting medical bills. Insurance adjusters often aim to settle quickly and for the lowest possible amount.

We understand that insurance companies make billions by collecting premiums and then minimizing payouts. Our firm is experienced in negotiating from a position of strength. We work with a broad network of experts – including medical professionals and accident reconstructionists – to build an irrefutable case. And if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial. We have litigated numerous cases in court with an excellent record of success, achieving multi-million dollar settlements for our clients.

Consider this real scenario: A client suffered a leg injury in a car accident. Subsequent staff infections led to a partial amputation. Our experience with such devastating outcomes ensured a positive resolution, with the case settling in the millions. This demonstrates our commitment to protecting our clients’ long-term well-being after life-altering injuries.

If a collision on a Foard County road has left you or a loved one injured, contact us immediately. We will help you navigate the aftermath, from property damage to lost income, medical expenses, and compensation for pain and suffering.

18-Wheeler & Big Rig Accidents: Texas’ Complex Giants

The vast network of highways traversing Texas, including those impacting Foard County’s transit routes, means commercial truck traffic is a constant presence. Accidents involving 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, and other big rigs are often catastrophic, leading to severe injuries or even wrongful death. These cases are uniquely complex, involving interstate commerce laws, federal trucking regulations (like those enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration), and intricate commercial insurance policies.

Our personal injury attorneys are specializsts in truck accident litigation. We’ve successfully helped numerous injured individuals and families recover millions in compensation. We understand the critical need for immediate action after a truck accident to preserve vital evidence. This includes:

Obtaining and examining truck maintenance records: Ensuring the vehicle was properly maintained.
Driving records and logs: Identifying potential hours-of-service violations or fatigued driving.
Cell phone records: Detecting distracted driving.
Black box data: Reconstructing the moments leading up to the crash.

We bring in experts – from medical care providers to accident reconstructions – to provide testimony and opinions that strengthen your case. If you’re grappling with medical bills, lost wages, or mobility issues after a trucking accident near Foard County, know that we are equipped to take on even the largest trucking companies and their insurers.

Motorcycle Accidents: Advocating for Foard County’s Bikers

Motorcyclists enjoy the same rights on Foard County’s roads as any other driver. However, when an accident occurs, the lack of external protection often leads to far more serious injuries for the biker. Too often, drivers claim they “didn’t see” a motorcycle, an excuse that does not absolve them of their responsibility to be aware and in control of their vehicle at all times.

At Attorney911, we protect the rights of bikers injured in motorcycle accidents, focusing on serious injuries such as:

“Road rash” burns and permanent scarring
Closed head and traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Loss of limbs
Wrongful death

As aggressive personal injury lawyers, we hold negligent drivers accountable, working to ensure injured motorcyclists and their families receive full and fair compensation for property damage, lost income, medical expenses, and significant pain and suffering.

Offshore Injuries & Maritime Law: Specialized Expertise for Coastal Connections

While Foard County is inland, many Texans work in the crucial maritime and energy sectors along our state’s vast Gulf Coast. If you are a deckhand, rig hand, seaman, or offshore worker from Foard County injured on a ship, oil rig, tugboat, or other vessel, you need highly specialized legal representation.

We have a proven track record resolving complex offshore injury cases under federal maritime laws such as:

The Jones Act: Providing remedies for seamen injured due to employer negligence.
The Death on the High Seas Act: Addressing wrongful death claims occurring far from shore.
The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act: Covering dockworkers, longshoremen, and other harbor employees.

Our firm collaborates with an extensive network of experts, including nurses, investigators, life care planners, and economists, to build robust cases against powerful employers and insurance companies. One such case involved a client who injured his back lifting cargo on a ship. Our investigation revealed he should have received assistance, leading to a significant cash settlement.

It is critical to contact an offshore accident attorney as soon as possible after an incident. Before discussing your claim with your employer or insurance company, consult with Attorney911 to protect your rights.

Workers’ Compensation & Construction Accidents: Protecting Foard County’s Workforce

Hardworking Texans in Foard County, whether in agriculture, local businesses, or construction, deserve protection when injured on the job. Texas’s workers’ compensation system can be complex, and unfortunately, outcomes are often unfair to injured employees without proper legal guidance.

We advise immediate action after an on-the-job injury: notify your employer as soon as possible, seek prompt medical treatment, and clearly state that the injury occurred at work. While the system appears designed to help, deadlines and requirements are strict. Our experienced workplace accident attorneys ensure your benefits are protected and passionately defend you if those benefits are refused. Our firm has recovered millions for workplace injuries, including a multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury and vision loss when a log was dropped on him at a logging company.

Crucially, in Texas, many construction workers injured on a job site may also be able to pursue third-party personal injury claims in addition to workers’ compensation. While you cannot sue your employer directly for a work injury (if they are a workers’ compensation subscriber), many construction sites involve multiple contractors and subcontractors. If another company’s negligence caused your injury, you could be entitled to compensation above and beyond your workers’ comp benefits. We meticulously examine cases involving crane accidents, forklift accidents, falls from heights, and scaffolding collapses to identify all responsible parties.

Refinery & Plant Accidents: Holding Negligent Industries Accountable

While Foard County is not directly home to large refineries or chemical plants, many residents may work in or travel through regions of Texas that are. Our firm has extensive experience handling refinery and plant accident cases. We are proud to be one of the few firms in Texas to have been involved in the BP Texas City explosion litigation, an event that tragically highlighted how cost-cutting measures can jeopardize employee safety.

We believe that every person injured due to negligence at industrial facilities deserves financial compensation and accountability. Our firm’s invaluable experience prepares us to provide immediate legal assistance against even the largest international industrial and refinery companies. If you or a loved one from Foard County has been injured in such an incident, complex litigation requires experienced lawyers. We are here to help you understand your legal rights and pursue justice.

Toxic Tort Claims: Exposure, Illness, and Your Right to Compensation

Exposure to toxic chemicals, whether from environmental contamination, defective products, or workplace incidents, can lead to debilitating, lifelong illnesses and disabilities. If you’ve been exposed to toxins due to another party’s negligence, you have the right to seek compensation through a “toxic tort” claim.

The most critical step is ensuring you receive necessary medical care as soon as possible. We help clients navigate the medical recovery process while simultaneously building a robust legal case. We meticulously investigate immediate and future costs, losses, and expenses, including medical care, loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering. We handle individual claims and class action lawsuits involving:

Water contamination
Black mold exposure
Defective drugs and recalls
Chemical exposure

Proving a link between your injuries and a specific toxic source can be challenging, particularly when symptoms develop over time. Our expertise extends to understanding these complex medical and scientific challenges, ensuring your case is presented with the strongest possible evidence.

Wrongful Death Claims: Compassionate Advocacy for Grieving Families

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an unbearable tragedy. While grieving, the thought of legal battles can seem overwhelming. At Attorney911, we handle every aspect of your wrongful death claim, allowing you the space to mourn and heal. We help Texas families through these incredibly difficult times with compassionate and comprehensive legal support.

Working with forensic economists and other experts, we develop a clear picture of the financial and emotional impact of your loved one’s death. We consider all factors for your settlement, including:

Pain and suffering endured by the deceased
Loss of companionship and support for surviving family members
Lost wages and future earning capacity
Medical and funeral expenses
Other quantifiable and non-quantifiable losses

Whether the cause was a drunk driving accident, a motorcycle or 18-wheeler collision, medical malpractice, or another act of negligence, it is vital to act quickly. Preserving evidence, identifying witnesses, and maintaining the integrity of the accident scene are crucial steps that we can help you with immediately.

Insurance Claims: Fighting for What’s Rightfully Yours

For property owners and individuals in Foard County, dealing with insurance companies can be a frustrating and often unfair experience. After diligently paying premiums, many policyholders find their legitimate claims denied, delayed, or significantly underpaid. This is often because, as we know from insider experience, insurance companies prioritize their profits by minimizing customer compensation.

We represent clients across a spectrum of insurance claim disputes, including:

Residential and commercial property damage claims: Such as those from storm damage, fire, or other perils.
Underinsured/Uninsured Motorist (UIM) claims: When the at-fault driver lacks adequate coverage.
Bad faith insurance practices: When an insurer fails to uphold its obligations to its policyholder in good faith.

Our firm, particularly leveraging Associate Attorney Lupe Peña’s invaluable experience working for a national defense firm, understands the tactics insurance companies use to undervalue or deny claims. She knows firsthand how they value claims, set reserves, and employ various strategies to avoid full payout. This “insider” knowledge is a significant strategic advantage for our clients in Foard County, ensuring we counteract their tactics effectively. We are prepared to challenge insurers vigorously, whether through negotiation, appraisal, or litigation, to secure the compensation you deserve.

Criminal Defense: Protecting Your Freedoms in Foard County

Facing criminal charges can dismantle your life, affecting your reputation, livelihood, and personal freedom. For residents of Foard County, navigating the Texas criminal justice system requires a skilled and aggressive defense. Attorney911 is committed to protecting the rights of defendants, employing robust legal strategies regardless of the severity of the charges.

Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, is a proud member of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) and possesses federal court experience, signifying his elite capabilities in criminal defense. We understand that a charge is not a conviction, and we work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your specific situation.

DWI/DUI Defense: Saving Your License and Your Future

A DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence) charge in Texas carries severe penalties, including fines, license suspension, increased insurance premiums, and a permanent criminal record. For those in Foard County charged with DWI/DUI, immediate action is paramount.

We have handled hundreds of DWI/DUI cases and employ a broad range of defense tactics to challenge the charges and protect your rights. Our strategies include:

Preventing driver’s license suspension: We can represent you in an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing.
Challenging breath and blood test results: Questioning calibration, maintenance, and administration procedures.
Disputing field sobriety tests: Arguing against subjective observations and improper testing.
Investigating probable cause and illegal stops: Ensuring constitutional rights were not violated.

Our success stories highlight our aggressive defense:

One client’s DWI charge was dismissed when our investigation revealed improper maintenance of the breathalyzer machine by police.
Another client, facing a DWI charge after rolling their car, saw their case dismissed on the day of trial because the police failed to conduct breath/blood tests, emergency staff didn’t note intoxication, and hospital records were missing.
We secured a dismissal for a client whose DUI/DWI charge relied on a video field sobriety test, successfully arguing the video did not prove intoxication.

Do not plead guilty before consulting with our firm. We can fight for your rights, even if you refused a breath test.

Comprehensive Criminal Defense: A Full Spectrum of Protection

From drug offenses to assault and more serious felonies, a criminal charge can have life-altering consequences. Attorney911 provides a comprehensive criminal defense across a wide range of charges. We understand that feeling “where they want you” after an arrest is common, but a conviction is far from inevitable. We have helped numerous individuals across Texas successfully fight and beat their drug charges, and many other criminal accusations.

Our defense strategies include:

Challenging probable cause: Ensuring law enforcement had a legal reason for your arrest.
Fighting illegal search and seizure: Protecting your Fourth Amendment rights.
Constitutional challenges: Asserting all protections afforded under the U.S. and Texas Constitutions.
Negotiating plea bargains: When applicable, securing reduced charges or alternative sentencing.

A significant case example showcases our capabilities: Police entered our client’s home without a warrant, finding a large quantity of illegal drugs. Facing 5 to 99 years, our firm identified weaknesses in the state’s case, resulting in deferred adjudication. Our client avoided jail time and will have charges dismissed upon following court rules.

We represent clients facing charges related to:

Drug Possession: Marijuana, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Heroin, Ecstasy
Assault Crimes: Including Assault Family Violence, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence
Theft Crimes
Firearms Offenses
Fraud
Homicide-Murder
Sexual Assault
Internet Crimes
Driving with an Invalid License
Expunctions (clearing past records)
And many more.
