If you’ve been hurt in a car accident in Bremond, Texas, right now you’re probably scared, hurting, and wondering what to do next. Maybe you were hit on Highway 6 heading to Bryan for work. Maybe a delivery truck backed into you at the Buc-ee’s in nearby Madisonville. Maybe you were rear-ended at the intersection of US 79 and SH 6 right here in town. Whatever happened, we want you to know: you don’t have to face this alone.
We’re Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm — and for over 27 years, we’ve helped injured Texans just like you recover millions of dollars after crashes that weren’t their fault. We know Robertson County. We know how insurance companies think because Lupe Peña, one of our attorneys, worked for years as an insurance defense lawyer before joining our firm to fight for victims instead. That insider knowledge is your advantage.
Last year, Texas saw 4,150 people die on our roads — one every two hours and seven minutes. In Robertson County alone, we’ve seen devastating crashes on FM 46, FM 2549, and the rural stretches of Highway 79 where speeds are high and help is far away. Whether your crash happened inside Bremond’s city limits or out on those country roads, we’re ready to help.
Call 1-888-ATTY-911 right now. We answer 24/7, and we don’t get paid unless we win your case.
The Hard Truth About Motor Vehicle Accidents in Bremond and Robertson County
Bremond sits at the crossroads of US 79 and State Highway 6 in Robertson County, about 40 miles southeast of Waco and 120 miles north of Houston. It’s a small town where everyone knows everyone, where Friday night football at Bremond ISD brings the whole community together, and where folks work hard — many commuting to Bryan-College Station, Waco, or even the Houston area for jobs in construction, manufacturing, and agriculture.
But that same small-town location means you’re surrounded by major highways where big trucks, oil field traffic, and speeding commuters mix with farm equipment and local drivers. The reality is stark: In 2024, Texas had 39,393 commercial vehicle accidents statewide, killing 608 people. While Robertson County isn’t in the top 20 counties for total crashes, our rural roads make accidents here far more deadly. Rural crashes in Texas are 2.66 times more likely to be fatal than urban ones, even though we have far fewer total crashes. When you’re 30 minutes from the nearest Level I trauma center, every second counts.
The most dangerous factors on our roads? Failed to control speed caused 131,978 Texas crashes last year. Failed to drive in a single lane killed 800 people — the number one fatal factor statewide. And in small towns like Bremond, alcohol-related crashes spike on weekend nights when folks are coming home from gatherings or heading back from College Station bars.
We’ve represented Bremond families hit by logging trucks on FM 2549. We’ve helped victims of drunk drivers on Highway 6 near Franklin. We’ve seen innocent people hurt by delivery vehicles that had no business being on our narrow country roads. Whatever happened to you, we’ve likely handled something similar in Robertson County or the surrounding Brazos Valley.
The Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents We Handle
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes are among the most common accidents we see, and they’re almost never your fault. In Texas last year, following too closely caused 21,048 crashes. Driver inattention caused another 81,101. When someone slams into the back of your vehicle at a stoplight on US 79 or while you’re waiting to turn onto SH 6, Texas law presumes they’re liable.
But here’s what insurance companies don’t tell you: Many of our clients walk away thinking they’re “fine,” only to develop severe neck pain, herniated discs, or cervical radiculopathy weeks later. A case that might settle for $15,000 in soft tissue damages can jump to $175,000-$500,000 once surgery is needed.
We recently represented a client whose leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. That case settled in the millions. Another client, Donald Wilcox, told us: “One company said they would not accept my case. Then I got a call from Manginello… I got a call to come pick up this handsome check.”
If you’ve been rear-ended in Bremond, don’t let insurance rush you into a quick settlement. Call 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll make sure you get the medical care you need and the compensation you deserve.
18-Wheeler and Commercial Truck Accidents
If you or a loved one has been hit by an 18-wheeler on Highway 6 or US 79, you’re facing the most complex and high-stakes type of motor vehicle case. Texas leads the nation in truck accidents — 39,393 commercial vehicle crashes killed 608 people last year. The 97/3 rule is brutal: In car-vs-truck crashes, 97% of those killed are in the passenger vehicle. Car occupants are 36.5 times more likely to die.
Here’s what makes trucking cases different: Multiple liable parties, federal regulations, and massive insurance policies. The trucking company, the driver, the freight broker, the maintenance provider, even the cargo loader can all share responsibility. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules require electronic logging devices (ELD) that track driving hours, speed, and rest breaks. Violating these rules is negligence per se.
But that data disappears fast. ELD data is only preserved for 6 months. Black box data can be overwritten in 30-180 days. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses? Deleted in 7-30 days. That’s why we act immediately. Within 24 hours of hiring us, we send preservation letters to every party, locking down critical evidence before it vanishes.
Our firm is one of the few in Texas involved in BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation — a $2.1 billion case that killed 15 workers. We’ve taken on billion-dollar corporations and won. We’ve helped families facing trucking-related wrongful death recover millions of dollars in compensation.
Lupe’s insurance defense background is crucial here. He knows how trucking companies calculate reserves, how they value claims, and which experts they hire to minimize your injuries. Now he uses that knowledge to build cases they can’t dismiss.
If a truck hit you in Bremond, Franklin, or anywhere in Robertson County, you need federal court experience. Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas — the same court that handles major trucking cases across Central and South Texas.
Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now. Evidence is disappearing every day.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Last year in Texas, 1,053 people died in DUI-alcohol crashes — one every 8.3 hours. DUI crashes peak at 2:00-2:59 AM on Sundays, right after Texas bars close at 2 AM under TABC regulations. If you were hit by a drunk driver in Bremond, especially on a weekend night, there’s a high chance that driver was overserved at a bar or restaurant.
Texas Dram Shop law (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02) lets us hold bars accountable when they serve someone who’s obviously intoxicated. Signs of obvious intoxication include slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, stumbling, and aggressive behavior. Bars must train their staff to recognize these signs. If they don’t, they’re liable.
This is where our insurance defense advantage shines brightest. Lupe knows how commercial insurance policies for bars work — they carry $1 million or more in coverage. He knows the safe harbor defenses bars try to claim and how to defeat them. He understands that adding a dram shop defendant can turn a $30,000 case into a $1,030,000 case.
Punitive damages are also critical in DUI cases. If the driver is charged with intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter — both felonies — the standard punitive damages cap disappears. There’s NO statutory limit on what a jury can award. And those punitive damages are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
We’ve handled DUI cases in small towns across Texas. We know the local bars, the drinking patterns, and how to investigate where the driver was served. If you or a loved one was hit by a drunk driver in Bremond or anywhere in Robertson County, call 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll investigate every possible source of compensation.
Single-Vehicle and Run-Off-Road Accidents
Nearly a third of all Texas traffic deaths — 1,353 people in 2024 — died in single-vehicle run-off-road crashes. These accidents are most common on rural two-lane roads like FM 46, FM 2549, and the country roads connecting Bremond to Franklin and Calvert. In fact, 75% of rollover crashes happen in rural areas.
Many people think if no other vehicle was involved, they have no case. That’s dead wrong. These cases often involve:
- Defective road conditions — missing guardrails, dangerous shoulder drop-offs, potholes (TxDOT or county liability under Texas Tort Claims Act)
- Vehicle defects — tire blowouts, brake failures, roof crush in rollover (product liability against manufacturer)
- Another driver forcing you off-road (phantom vehicle, UM claim)
- Employer liability if driving a company vehicle
The key is preserving the vehicle. Do NOT let it be towed to a salvage yard and destroyed. The black box data, tire remnants, and vehicle damage tell the story of what really happened. We send investigators to document road defects before they’re repaired.
We represented a client whose tire blew out on a rural highway, causing a severe rollover. Our investigation revealed a manufacturing defect in the tire tread. We reached a significant cash settlement because we proved the tire company knew about similar failures but failed to warn consumers.
If you ran off the road near Bremond, don’t assume it was your fault. Call 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll investigate every possible cause.
Motorcycle Accidents
With our warm Texas weather and scenic country roads, motorcycling is popular in Robertson County. But it’s also deadly. Texas saw 585 motorcycle fatalities in 2024 — one every day. Forty-two percent of fatal motorcycle crashes happen when a car turns left in front of the bike. That’s exactly what happens on two-lane roads around Bremond where drivers misjudge a motorcycle’s speed or simply don’t see it.
Jury bias is real. Insurance companies paint riders as reckless. We fight back with accident reconstruction, witness testimony, and by humanizing our clients. If you were wearing a helmet, great. If not, Texas law still allows recovery under comparative negligence — you can be up to 50% at fault and still recover damages.
Underinsurance is the biggest problem. Motorcycle injuries are catastrophic — amputations, TBIs, spinal cord injuries — but the at-fault driver often carries only $30,000 in coverage. That’s where your own UM/UIM coverage becomes critical. Many riders don’t realize their motorcycle policy’s UM/UIM can stack with their auto policy, potentially doubling available coverage.
Ralph Manginello has been riding motorcycles himself for years. He understands the mechanics, the road conditions, and the unique challenges riders face. If you’ve been hit on your bike in Bremond, Franklin, or anywhere in Central Texas, call 1-888-ATTY-911.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian crashes are the most lethal type of accident. In Texas, pedestrians are involved in just 1% of crashes but account for 19% of all traffic deaths. That’s a fatality rate of 28.8 times higher than car-to-car crashes. Seventy-five percent of pedestrian deaths happen after dark, and 84% occur in urban areas — but that includes small towns like Bremond when you’re walking near Highway 79 or SH 6.
Here’s the critical fact most pedestrians don’t know: Your own car insurance covers you as a pedestrian. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage (and 14% of Texas drivers are uninsured), you can file a UM/UIM claim against your own policy. This is the most underutilized fact in Texas personal injury law, and it can mean the difference between $30,000 and $530,000 in recovery.
Hit-and-run is also devastatingly common. Twenty-five percent of pedestrian deaths involve a driver who fled the scene. If that happens to you or a loved one in Bremond, we immediately search for surveillance footage from nearby homes and businesses — but we have only 7-30 days before it’s deleted forever.
Our firm helped a client who suffered a brain injury with vision loss when a log dropped on him at a logging company. We secured a multi-million dollar settlement. We know how to handle catastrophic injury cases.
If you were hit while walking in Bremond, call 1-888-ATTY-911 before talking to any insurance company.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)
While Bremond itself may not see many Uber rides, folks from our town drive to Bryan-College Station for nights out and use rideshare to get home safely. If your Uber or Lyft crashes on the way back to Bremond, you’re covered by a $1 million commercial insurance policy — but only if the ride was “active” (Period 2 or 3). If the driver was just logged into the app waiting for a ride (Period 1), coverage drops to $50,000 per person.
These cases are complicated because Uber and Lyft classify drivers as “independent contractors,” not employees. But Texas courts look at control: Does the company set pricing, routes, acceptance rates, ratings, and deactivation policies? The more control, the stronger the argument for employer liability.
We recently handled a case where a rideshare driver hit a pedestrian in College Station. By obtaining the driver’s app activity logs, we proved he was in Period 3 (transporting a passenger), triggering the $1 million policy. The case settled for policy limits.
If you were injured in any rideshare accident, call 1-888-ATTY-911. We know how to get the app data that proves what coverage applies.
Delivery Vehicle Accidents (Amazon, FedEx, UPS)
Delivery trucks are everywhere now — bringing packages to Bremond from Amazon, FedEx, and UPS. These drivers are under immense pressure to deliver fast, leading to dangerous driving. “Backed Without Safety” caused 8,950 crashes statewide in 2024. That’s particularly relevant for delivery trucks that constantly pull into driveways and parking lots.
Amazon’s Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) are a special challenge. Amazon claims they’re independent contractors, but we know the truth: Amazon controls everything — quotas, routes, uniforms, surveillance cameras, driver scorecards, deactivation power. In 2024, a Georgia jury found Amazon 85% responsible in a $16.2 million verdict when a child was struck. In another case, Lopez v. All Points 360, an Amazon DSP was hit with a $105 million verdict.
We investigate Amazon’s control over every aspect of the delivery. We subpoena the Driveri AI camera footage, the routing software data, and the performance metrics that prove Amazon is calling the shots. Lupe’s defense background taught him how corporate defendants hide behind independent contractor shields. Now he knows how to pierce them.
If a delivery truck hit you in Bremond, don’t let them tell you it’s just the driver’s fault. Call 1-888-ATTY-911.
Additional Accident Types
We handle every type of motor vehicle accident, including:
- Distracted Driving: 81,101 crashes from driver inattention. Texting while driving is illegal but the fine is only $200 — the same as a parking ticket. We prove distraction through cell phone records and witness statements.
- Sideswipe Collisions: 50,287 crashes from unsafe lane changes. On two-lane highways around Bremond, these often escalate into head-on or rollover crashes.
- T-Bone/Intersection: Failed to yield at stop signs caused 31,693 crashes. In small towns, these happen at uncontrolled intersections.
- Hit and Run: We investigate surveillance footage, use UM coverage, and work with police to identify fleeing drivers.
- Construction Zone: Texas work zone crashes killed 215 people in 2024. We hold negligent contractors accountable.
- Bus: School bus and commercial bus accidents have special liability rules and government notice requirements.
- Tesla/Autopilot: As autonomous vehicles increase, we’re handling cases involving software defects and driver overconfidence.
- Boat/Maritime: If your accident happened on Lake Limestone or any Texas waterway, we handle Jones Act and maritime claims.
Whatever type of accident you had, we’ve seen it. And we know how to win.
Texas Law: Your Rights After a Crash
Modified Comparative Negligence (51% Bar Rule)
Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system. You can recover damages as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Say your case is worth $100,000. If you’re found 10% at fault, you get $90,000. If you’re 25% at fault, you get $75,000. But if you’re 51% at fault, you get nothing.
Insurance companies know this. They’ll try to pin as much blame on you as possible, especially in motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian cases. Lupe built his career making these arguments for insurance companies. Now he knows every trick they use and how to defeat them.
Statute of Limitations
You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. Miss that deadline by one day, and your case is barred forever. No exceptions.
But some claims have even shorter deadlines. If a government vehicle hit you (like a Robertson County sheriff’s deputy), you have just six months to file notice under the Texas Tort Claims Act. Commercial trucking cases can require immediate preservation letters.
This is why you cannot wait to call a lawyer. Evidence disappears daily. Witnesses move away. The 2-year deadline is absolute.
Dram Shop Act
We discussed this with DUI cases, but it’s so important we’re emphasizing it again. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02 lets us sue bars, restaurants, and even liquor stores that serve obviously intoxicated people who then cause accidents.
In small towns like Bremond, everyone knows which bars overserve. We investigate where the driver was drinking, interview witnesses and bartenders, and review receipts and surveillance. Many of these establishments carry $1 million+ in insurance.
Lupe’s defense experience included defending bars against dram shop claims. He knows the safe harbor defenses they raise and how to overcome them. If a drunk driver hit you in Bremond, we’ll find out where they were served.
Stowers Doctrine: The Nuclear Option
The Stowers Doctrine is the most powerful collection tool in Texas personal injury law. If we send a settlement demand within the at-fault driver’s policy limits, and their insurance unreasonably refuses to settle, the insurer becomes liable for the entire verdict, even if it exceeds policy limits.
This is especially powerful in:
- Rear-end collisions (presumption of fault)
- DUI cases (negligence per se)
- Red light violations (caught on camera)
- Trucking FMCSA violations
Lupe spent years on the receiving end of Stowers demands. He knows exactly what makes an insurer accept versus gamble. Now we use that knowledge to force fair settlements. In clear liability cases, we often get policy limits without filing suit.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Fourteen percent of Texas drivers have no insurance. Many more carry only the minimum $30,000, which is grossly inadequate for serious injuries. Your own UM/UIM coverage is often the real source of recovery.
Critical facts most people don’t know:
- UM/UIM covers you as a pedestrian
- It may stack across multiple policies you hold
- It applies to hit-and-run accidents
- It has a $250 deductible
We’ve had clients recover $500,000 from their own UM/UIM after the at-fault driver had only $30,000. It’s the most underutilized coverage in Texas, and we make sure you get every dollar available.
What You Can Recover: Damages in Texas
Economic Damages (No Cap)
- Medical expenses: ER visits, surgery, hospital stays, physical therapy, medications, future care, life care plans
- Lost wages: From accident date through recovery
- Lost earning capacity: If you can’t return to your previous job or work at all
- Property damage: Vehicle repair/replacement, personal items
- Out-of-pocket: Transportation to appointments, home modifications
Non-Economic Damages (No Cap)
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain from injuries
- Mental anguish: Anxiety, depression, PTSD, fear
- Physical impairment: Loss of function, disability
- Disfigurement: Scarring, amputation
- Loss of consortium: Impact on marriage/family
- Loss of enjoyment: Can’t do activities you loved
Punitive Damages
Available when the defendant’s conduct is grossly negligent, malicious, or fraudulent. The standard cap is the greater of $200,000 or (2 × economic damages) + non-economic damages up to $750,000.
BUT — and this is critical for Bremond families hit by drunk drivers — the cap does NOT apply if the underlying act is a felony. DUI causing serious injury (intoxication assault) and DUI causing death (intoxication manslaughter) are both felonies. The jury can award unlimited punitive damages, and those damages cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
We’ve used this to secure multi-million dollar recoveries for families devastated by drunk drivers.
Settlement Ranges
Every case is unique, but here are typical ranges based on our experience:
- Soft tissue/whiplash: $15,000-$60,000
- Simple fracture: $35,000-$95,000
- Surgery required: $132,000-$328,000
- Herniated disc with fusion: $346,000-$1,205,000
- Traumatic brain injury: $1,548,000-$9,838,000
- Spinal cord injury/paralysis: $4,770,000-$25,880,000
- Wrongful death: $1,910,000-$9,520,000
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Insurance companies know our reputation, which pushes settlements higher. As Glenda Walker said in her review: “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”
The Insurance Company Playbook: What They Don’t Want You to Know
This is where our firm is different from every other personal injury lawyer in Central Texas. Lupe Peña spent years working for a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims. He knows their playbook because he helped write it. Now he uses that classified intelligence to protect you.
Tactic 1: The Recorded Statement Trap
Within days of your crash, a friendly adjuster calls: “We just need a quick recorded statement to process your claim.” They ask seemingly innocent questions: “You’re feeling better though, right?” “It wasn’t that bad?” “You could walk away from the scene?”
The truth: Everything you say is transcribed and WILL be used against you. You are NOT required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance.
Our counter: Once you hire Attorney911, all calls go through us. We speak for you. Lupe asked these exact questions for years and knows how to avoid the traps.
Tactic 2: The Quick Lowball Offer
Two weeks after your crash, they offer you $3,500. You’re drowning in medical bills and can’t work. It seems like a lifeline. But here’s the trap: You sign a release, accepting the money. Six weeks later, an MRI shows you need a $100,000 spinal fusion. That release is permanent and final. You get nothing more.
Our counter: We never let clients settle before reaching Maximum Medical Improvement. Lupe knows that $3,500 offer is probably 10-20% of your case’s true value.
Tactic 3: The “Independent” Medical Exam
After three months of treatment, insurance sends you to “their” doctor for a second opinion. This doctor is paid $2,000-$5,000 by the insurance company. They spend 10 minutes with you and write a report saying your injuries are “pre-existing” or “treatment is excessive.”
Our counter: Lupe hired these same IME doctors for years. He knows their biases, their typical language, and how to challenge their reports with real medical evidence.
Tactic 4: Delays and Financial Pressure
Insurance has unlimited time and money. You have mounting bills, zero income, and debt collectors calling. The longer they delay, the more desperate you become. A $5,000 offer you’d reject in month one becomes attractive in month six.
Our counter: We file lawsuits to force deadlines. We connect you with doctors who work on liens so you get treatment without upfront cost. Lupe used delay tactics; now he defeats them.
Tactic 5: Surveillance and Social Media Stalking
Private investigators video you grocery shopping, playing with your kids, doing yard work. They monitor every social media post. One photo of you smiling at a family barbecue becomes “proof” you’re not really injured.
Lupe’s insider quote: “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.”
Our counter: We give every client the 7 social media rules: Make profiles private, don’t post about the accident, no check-ins, tell friends not to tag you, don’t accept strangers, stay off social media entirely, assume everything is monitored.
Tactic 6: Blaming You (Comparative Fault)
Insurance will claim you were speeding, not paying attention, or could have avoided the crash. In Texas, if they can push you to 51% fault, they pay nothing. Even 10% fault on a $100,000 case costs you $10,000.
Our counter: Lupe made these arguments for insurance. He knows exactly how they’re structured and how to defeat them with evidence.
Tactic 7: The Medical Authorization Trap
They ask you to sign a broad authorization letting them access your entire medical history. Then they find a back injury from five years ago and claim your current pain is “pre-existing.”
Our counter: We limit authorizations to accident-related records only. Lupe knows what they’re hunting for.
Tactic 8: Attacking Gaps in Treatment
If you miss two weeks of physical therapy because you couldn’t afford the copay or couldn’t get a ride, insurance claims: “If you were really hurt, you wouldn’t have missed appointments.”
Our counter: We ensure consistent treatment and document legitimate reasons for any gaps. Lupe used this attack; now he neutralizes it.
Tactic 9: Hiding Insurance Coverage
They tell you: “The driver only has $30,000 in coverage.” What they hide: a $1 million umbrella policy, a commercial policy, stacking UM/UIM, or a corporate parent company policy.
Our counter: Lupe knows coverage structures from the inside. We investigate every possible source. We’ve found $8 million in coverage where the initial offer claimed only $30,000.

Our Medical Knowledge: Understanding Your Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
TBIs are often called the “invisible injury.” You might look fine but suffer devastating cognitive effects. Immediate symptoms include loss of consciousness, confusion, vomiting, and severe headache. Delayed symptoms — appearing hours or days later — include worsening headaches, personality changes, memory problems, sleep disturbance, and light/noise sensitivity.
Even mild concussions can cause post-concussive syndrome affecting you for months. Moderate to severe TBIs may require lifetime care. We work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life care planners to document the full impact.
Insurance claims TBI victims are exaggerating. We prove the science.
Spinal Cord Injury
The level of injury determines the impact:
- C1-C4 (high cervical): Quadriplegia, possible ventilator dependence, 24/7 care
- C5-C8 (low cervical): Quadriplegia with some arm/hand function, wheelchair
- T1-L5 (paraplegia): Lower body paralysis, wheelchair
Lifetime costs range from $2.5 million to over $13 million. Complications include pressure sores, respiratory issues (leading cause of death), bowel/bladder dysfunction, and severe depression (40-60% of victims).
Our firm has recovered millions for spinal cord injury victims. We understand the medicine and the money required for lifetime care.
Amputations
Whether traumatic (severed at the scene) or surgical (due to crush injuries or infection, like our documented case), amputations change everything. Eighty percent of amputees suffer phantom limb pain. Prosthetics cost $5,000-$15,000 for basic models, $50,000-$100,000 for advanced computerized limbs, and must be replaced every 3-5 years. Lifetime costs: $500,000-$2 million.
We work with prosthetists and vocational experts to calculate lifetime needs.
Herniated Discs
Most start with conservative treatment: rest, physical therapy, epidural injections. But when surgery is needed — discectomy, fusion — costs jump to $50,000-$120,000. If you can’t return to physical labor, you’re facing lost earning capacity for decades.
Insurance uses gaps in treatment and pre-existing degeneration to attack these claims. We fight back with medical experts who explain the accident caused the herniation or significantly worsened a pre-existing condition (the eggshell plaintiff rule).
Burns
From radiator fluid fires to commercial truck explosions, burns cause lifelong damage. Third-degree burns require skin grafting and cause permanent disfigurement. Fourth-degree burns penetrate to muscle and bone, often requiring amputation.
We document scarring with plastic surgeons and calculate lifetime treatment costs.
PTSD and Psychological Injuries
Thirty-two to forty-five percent of serious accident victims develop PTSD. Symptoms include driving anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks, and avoidance behaviors. This is compensable as mental anguish, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Insurance claims you’re “just anxious.” We work with psychologists and psychiatrists to prove the diagnosis and its impact.
Why Attorney911 Is Different: Real Results, Real People
We could tell you we’re “experienced” and “aggressive.” Instead, we’ll show you:
Our Track Record
- Multi-million dollar settlement for client who suffered brain injury with vision loss when log dropped on him at logging company
- Car accident amputation case settled in the millions after staff infections during treatment
- Numerous trucking-related wrongful death cases recovering millions in compensation
- Significant cash settlement for maritime back injury where employer failed to provide assistance
- BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation involvement — one of few Texas firms handling that $2.1 billion case
- Criminal defense victories: Multiple DWI dismissals based on faulty breathalyzers, missing evidence, and video proof

Former Insurance Defense Attorney: Lupe Peña knows their playbook because he wrote it. He calculated your claim value, selected the IME doctors, and set the reserves. Now he uses that insider knowledge to maximize your recovery.
-
BP Explosion Litigation: We’re one of few Texas firms involved in the $2.1 billion BP Texas City Refinery case. We’ve taken on multinational corporations and won. We’re not afraid of big trucking companies or insurance giants.
-
Federal Court Experience: Ralph Manginello is admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas. This matters for complex trucking cases, maritime claims, and multi-state litigation.
-
Results, Not Promises: 27+ years, multi-million dollar settlements, 4.9 Google stars from 251+ reviews, Million Dollar Member of Trial Lawyers Achievement Association.
-
24/7 Real People: When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, you get a live person, not an answering service. We’re here when you need us most.
-
Spanish Services: Hablamos Español. Lupe Peña is fluent, and staff members like Zulema provide translation. Nearly 40% of Texans speak Spanish at home, and we serve them fully.
-
We Take Rejected Cases: Greg Garcia, Donald Wilcox, and CON3531 all came to us after other lawyers dropped their cases. We saw what others missed and won.
-
Personal Attention: Ralph Manginello personally reaches out to clients. As Dame Haskett said: “Ralph reached out personally.” You’re not passed off to a junior associate.
What to Do Right Now: Your Next Steps
You’re hurt. You’re overwhelmed. Here’s exactly what to do:
-
Call 1-888-ATTY-911 NOW: Before you talk to any insurance company. The call is free. The consultation is free. We don’t get paid unless we win.
-
Document Everything: If you haven’t already, photograph everything: vehicles, injuries, scene, road conditions. Write down what happened while it’s fresh.
-
Get Medical Help: If you haven’t seen a doctor, go now. Adrenaline masks injuries. Delays hurt your health and your case.
-
No Recorded Statements: Tell any insurance adjuster: “I need to speak with my attorney.” Then hang up and call us.
-
Secure Your Social Media: Make everything private. Better yet, stay off it entirely until your case resolves.
-
Don’t Sign Anything: Not a settlement offer, not a medical authorization, not a release. Let us review everything first.
We know Bremond. We know Robertson County. We know how to win cases in the Brazos Valley. Let us take the weight off your shoulders.
Comprehensive FAQ for Bremond Accident Victims
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Bremond?
Get to safety, call 911, seek medical attention even if you feel okay, take photos of everything, get witness information, and call 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to any insurance company. Evidence disappears fast in rural areas.
Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
No. You are not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance. Everything you say will be used against you. Let us handle all communication.
How much time do I have to file a lawsuit in Texas?
Two years from the date of the accident. For government vehicle cases, only six months. Don’t wait.
What if I was partially at fault? Can I still recover?
Yes, under Texas’s 51% bar rule. You can recover if you’re 50% or less at fault, but your award is reduced by your percentage. Don’t let insurance exaggerate your fault.
What if the other driver was drunk and left a bar in Franklin or Bryan?
We can pursue a dram shop claim against the bar under Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02. This adds their commercial insurance policy ($1M+) to your recovery. Lupe knows how to prove obvious intoxication.
How much will a lawyer cost me?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency: 33.33% if we settle before trial, 40% if we go to trial. You pay nothing unless we win. As Brian Butchee said: “I got to speak with Ralph Manginello once and knew quickly the way his Firm was ran.”
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know our trial reputation, which increases settlement values.
What if I was hit by a truck on Highway 6?
Commercial truck cases are complex and high-value. Multiple parties may be liable: driver, trucking company, freight broker, maintenance provider, cargo loader. Federal regulations apply. We preserve ELD data, black boxes, and dashcam footage immediately.
Can undocumented immigrants file claims in Texas?
Yes. Immigration status does not affect your right to compensation. We represent everyone. Hablamos Español.
What if I was a pedestrian hit by a car?
Your own car insurance’s UM/UIM coverage likely applies. This is the most underutilized coverage in Texas. We also investigate dram shop claims if the driver was drunk.
How long will my case take?
Simple soft tissue cases may settle in 6 months. Cases requiring surgery typically take 12-18 months. Complex trucking or wrongful death cases can take 2-3 years. We move as fast as possible while maximizing value.
What is my case worth?
It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, liability, and insurance limits. Soft tissue: $15K-$60K. Surgery: $100K-$500K+. Catastrophic: $1M+. We’ve recovered millions for clients.
Should I post about my accident on Facebook?
Absolutely not. Insurance monitors everything. One photo of you at a family BBQ can be used to claim you’re not injured. Make all profiles private and stay off social media.
What if I already started treatment but it’s been a few weeks?
Call us immediately. We can still help. But don’t delay further. Evidence is disappearing daily.
Can I fire my current lawyer and hire you?
Yes. If your lawyer isn’t communicating or fighting for you, we can take over. 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 about rideshare accidents?
Uber and Lyft have $1 million policies for active rides. We obtain app logs to prove which period applied. This is a fast-growing area of law that most firms don’t understand.
Do I really need a lawyer for a “minor” accident?
Insurance company studies show represented clients recover 3-4 times more, even after fees. Plus, we handle everything so you can focus on healing. As Stephanie Hernandez said: “When I felt I had no hope or direction, Leonor reached out to me… She took all the weight of my worries off my shoulders.”
How do I know you’re the right firm for my Bremond case?
