Kirbyville Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer | Attorney 911 – The Manginello Law Firm
You were traveling down US Highway 96 through Kirbyville heading toward Jasper when a logging truck drifted into your lane. Or perhaps you were stopped at the intersection of Main Street and Highway 82 when a distracted driver slammed into your rear bumper. In that split second, your life changed. The cars looked badly damaged, the glass was shattered, and the adrenaline was pumping so hard you told the Kirbyville Police Department officer that you felt “fine.”
Now, forty-eight hours later, you can’t turn your head. Your lower back is radiating pain down your leg. The insurance adjuster from the other driver’s carrier has already called you twice, offering a “quick check” for your “trouble” if you sign a release today.
At Attorney 911 / The Manginello Law Firm, we see this pattern every day in Kirbyville and across East Texas. Since 1998, Ralph Manginello — our managing partner with over 27 years of trial experience and admission to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas — has fought against the very insurance carriers that are now trying to lowball your claim. We are not a settlement mill; we are a trial firm that handles the full spectrum of motor vehicle accidents, from moderate fender benders on rural FM roads to catastrophic 18-wheeler collisions on major Piney Woods corridors.
If you have been injured in a crash in Kirbyville or anywhere in Jasper County, you aren’t just a claim number to us. You are family. Our native Houston-based team, with meeting locations available in Beaumont, understands the unique dynamics of East Texas litigation. We also bring a nuclear differentiator to your case: Lupe Peña.
Lupe is our associate attorney who previously worked in insurance defense. He used to represent the carriers. He knows exactly how they calculate “nuisance value,” how they run their Minor Impact Soft Tissue (MIST) protocols, and where they hide the coverage layers you need for a full recovery. Now, he uses that insider playbook against them for our clients. Hablamos Español. We provide native Spanish-language representation so you never have to worry about an interpreter standing between you and your lawyer.
If you’re hurting, don’t sign anything the insurance company sends you. Call us 24/7 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation. There is no fee unless we win.
The Realities of Driving in Kirbyville and Jasper County
Kirbyville is the heart of the East Texas timber industry. While our city is small, the traffic navigating US 96 is intense and often dangerous. We analyze TxDOT District 20 crash data and federal FMCSA safety scores for the motor carriers that frequent our region.
The logging trucks and 18-wheelers carrying timber through Jasper County are frequently overloaded or improperly maintained. An 80,000-pound commercial vehicle requires nearly double the stopping distance of a passenger car on dry Kirbyville pavement—and in the frequent rain of the Piney Woods, that distance expands to over 900 feet. When these massive vehicles collide with a passenger car on a two-lane road like FM 1013, the results are rarely minor.
We know the dangerous corridors where Kirbyville families are most at risk:
- US Highway 96: The primary north-south artery. High-speed collisions and heavy commercial-truck traffic make this the most frequent site of catastrophic accidents in the area.
- State Highway 82 / Main Street: The commercial core of Kirbyville where distracted-driving rear-end accidents occur daily.
- FM 1013 and FM 363: Rural farm-to-market roads where lack of lighting and narrow shoulders contribute to severe run-off-roadway and head-on collisions.
When a major accident occurs in Kirbyville, local EMS units typically route patients to Jasper Memorial Hospital for stabilization. However, for catastrophic spinal-cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBI), patients are often airlifted or transported to Level I or Level II trauma centers in Beaumont, such as CHRISTUS Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth. We have spent decades working with these trauma care teams to coordinate medical-record retrieval and ensure your treating physician’s testimony is ready for the courtroom.
Why Your “Minor” Accident is Not Minor to Us
Insurance adjusters in Kirbyville often try to dismiss “fender benders” as non-injurious. They look at a photo of a bumper with a few scratches and try to claim that because the metal didn’t crumple, your spine couldn’t have been hurt. They are running the MIST (Minor Impact Soft Tissue) playbook.
At Attorney 911, we know the science of biomechanics better than they do. We utilize experts to prove that even a 5-mph impact can exceed the 4.5G cervical-injury threshold for a Kirbyville driver. Kinetic energy is not just about speed; it’s about mass. When a Ford F-150 hits a small sedan at a stoplight on US 96, the mass differential alone generates enough force to herniate a disc.
We have recovered multi-million-dollar results for clients who were told by other firms that their cases weren’t “big enough.” Our traumatic brain injury (TBI) recoveries typically fall between $1.5 million and $9.8 million, and our wrongful death results range from $1.9 million to $9.5 million. Whether you have a neck strain or a life-altering disability, we pursue every dollar you are entitled to under Texas law. (Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.)
Understanding Kirbyville Impact Subtypes
Every crash in Kirbyville has a physical “fingerprint.” Understanding these subtypes is how we establish clear liability under the Texas Transportation Code.
1. US 96 Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes are governed by Tex. Transp. Code § 545.062, which requires every driver to maintain an “assured clear distance ahead.” Under the Texas legal doctrine established in Wright v. McAdams Lumber Co., there is a presumption that the trailing driver is at fault in a rear-end collision. Whether it happened in bumper-to-bumper traffic near the Kirbyville school zones or on the open highway, we hold the trailing driver accountable.
2. Logging Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Kirbyville’s timber industry creates a unique risk: the logging truck. These vehicles carry 40 tons of unshielded momentum. We investigate FMCSA violations under 49 CFR § 390-399. We demand Electronic Logging Device (ELD) records before they are purged (typically after 6 months) to determine if the driver was fatigued or violating hours-of-service rules. We also look for unsecured cargo violations under § 725.021 when timber or debris causes a crash.
3. T-Bone Collisions at Kirbyville Intersections
Intersection accidents at Highway 96 and Main Street often involve a failure to yield right-of-way under Tex. Transp. Code § 545.151. Side-impact crashes are particularly dangerous because cars have very little “crumple zone” on the doors. If your vehicle’s side-curtain airbags failed to deploy, we might also pursue a crashworthiness claim against the manufacturer under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ch. 82.
4. Rural “Run-Off-Roadway” Crashes
Many accidents in Jasper County involve a driver being forced off the road by a “phantom vehicle” or a reckless passing maneuver. Under Texas law, if the at-fault driver flees, we can pursue an Uninsured Motorist (UM) claim on your own policy — but only if we can corroborate the phantom vehicle’s existence through witnesses or physical evidence. Call us immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911 so we can canvass the scene for evidence before it disappears.
The Biomechanics of Pain: What Happens to the Body
When you are hit in a Kirbyville accident, your body undergoes Phase 1 through Phase 4 of the Cervical Acceleration-Deceleration (CAD) mechanism in less than 300 milliseconds.
- Phase 1: Your torso is accelerated forward by the car seat while your head stays in place.
- Phase 2: Your cervical spine forms an “S-curve,” forcing the C5-C6 vertebrae into hyperextension.
- Phase 3: Your head whips back fully against the headrest.
- Phase 4: Your head rebounds forward in flexion.
This mechanism causes micro-tears in ligaments, facet capsule sprains, and annular tears in spinal discs. This is why you feel worse on day three than you did at the scene. It is the inflammatory peak.
The insurance company will call this a “pre-existing condition.” They will subpoena your medical records from every doctor in Kirbyville to find a mention of a “sore back” from ten years ago. We counter this with the Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine (Coates v. Whittington). Under Texas law, a defendant is liable for the full extent of an injury even if you were more vulnerable than a “healthy” person. We don’t care if you had arthritis before; if the crash made it symptomatic, the defendant is responsible for the difference.
The Texas Legal Framework: Statutes You Must Know
Texas law is nuanced, and missing a single procedural step can kill your Kirbyville case.
Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.16.htm#16.003), you have exactly two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. If you are pursuing a claim for an injury to a minor child, the clock is tolled under § 16.001 until they turn 18, but it is dangerous to wait. Evidence like the skid marks on Highway 96 fades in weeks.
Modified Comparative Fault (The 51% Rule)
Texas follows Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.33.htm#33.001). You can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the crash. If a Kirbyville jury finds you 20% at fault for speeding, your $100,000 award would be reduced to $80,000. If you are found 51% at fault, you get zero. We fight to ensure the percentage stays on the other driver where it belongs.
The Paid-or-Incurred Rule (Haygood v. de Escabedo)
Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.41.htm#41.0105), you can only recover the medical expenses “actually paid or incurred.” This means if your hospital bill was $50,000 but health insurance negotiated it down to $15,000, you can only claim $15,000 at trial. The insurance companies love this rule because it saves them money. We counteract this by pursuing every other category of damages, including future medical care, lost earning capacity, and physical impairment.
How the Insurance Industry Fights Kirbyville Families
We have one attorney, Lupe Peña, who knows the “inside” of the insurance carrier’s office. Insurance companies are $80-billion-revenue machines. They use software like Colossus to value your injury. This software doesn’t know about your life in Kirbyville; it only sees data points.
They will try to trap you with:
- The Recorded Statement: They want to catch you saying “I’m okay” before your whiplash peak.
- The HIPAA Release: They want a global release to look at your medical records from age five.
- The Quick Release: They offer a few thousand dollars to “close the file” before you realize you need surgery.
Don’t let them. We handle all communications. When Allstate, State Farm, or Progressive sees that Ralph Manginello and his team are on the case, the conversation changes. They know we have litigated against the world’s largest corporations, including our experience in the BP Texas City refinery litigation. They know we are ready for federal court in the Southern District of Texas.
How We Maximize Your Recovery
A car accident case in Kirbyville is not just about one policy. We look for Multiple Compensation Pathways:
- Third-Party Liability: The at-fault driver’s BI policy (typically 30/60/25 minimum in TX).
- UM/UIM Coverage: Your own insurance if they have no coverage or too little.
- PIP (Personal Injury Protection): Your own no-fault medical/wage coverage.
- Commercial/Corporate Towers: If the driver was working, we pursue the employer’s $1M+ policy and the MCS-90 federal endorsement.
- Dram Shop (TABC § 2.02): If the driver was overserved at a bar or restaurant before hitting you.
We recovered multi-million dollar results for traumatic brain injuries and amputations because we didn’t stop at the first layer of coverage. We build the “Money Math” that juries understand. If your future medical needs include radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for chronic facet pain every year for life, we make sure that is calculated into the demand.
Kirbyville Motor Vehicle Accident FAQ
1. Do I really need a lawyer for a fender bender in Kirbyville?
If you have any physical symptoms — neck pain, headaches, tingling — the answer is yes. Insurance adjusters will use MIST protocols to deny your claim otherwise. As client Mongo Slade said: “I was rear-ended and the team got right to work with my medical issues… I also got a very nice settlement.”
2. What if the officer didn’t give the other driver a ticket?
Officer opinions on “contributing factors” in a CR-3 crash report are often inadmissible hearsay in a Texas civil court. We conduct our own investigation with accident reconstructionists to determine liability regardless of whether a citation was issued.
3. How long does a Kirbyville accident case take?
A typical case settles in 6 to 12 months pre-suit. If it requires filing a lawsuit in Jasper County, it may take 18 to 24 months. We move as fast as your medical recovery allows, because we cannot settle until you reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).
4. What if I can’t afford a lawyer?
You pay nothing unless we win. We advance every penny of investigation costs — experts, medical record retrieval, filing fees. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you.
5. Can I still sue if the accident was partially my fault?
Yes, as long as you were 50% or less at fault under § 33.001. We focus on minimizing your comparative responsibility to keep your recovery high.
6. What if the driver who hit me was texting?
Texting is illegal in Texas under Tex. Transp. Code § 545.4251. This is negligence per se. We subpoena phone records to prove they were distracted, which often opens the door for Gross Negligence claims and punitive damages under § 41.001.
7. What is my case worth?
Every case depends on (a) liability (who’s at fault), (b) damages (how bad are the injuries), and (c) coverage (how much insurance is available). We have recovered settlements from the tens of thousands to over $9 million.
8. What is the Brainard rule for UIM claims?
Under Brainard v. Trinity Universal Ins. Co. (Tex. 2006), a UIM claim doesn’t truly “accrue” until liability and the underinsured status of the defendant are established by judgment or stipulation. This is a complex procedural delay tactic carriers use, and you need a lawyer who knows how to navigate it to get paid.
9. Will my rates go up if I file a UM/PIP claim?
Texas law generally protects you from rate increases for making claims for accidents where you were not at fault. UM and PIP are coverages YOU paid for to protect your family.
10. Does your firm handle logging truck accidents in Jasper County?
Yes. Commercial vehicles are our area of focus. We understand the FMCSA and DOT regulations that govern commercial freight in the Piney Woods.
11. Can I get a rental car?
If the other driver is 100% at fault, their carrier owes you “Loss of Use.” However, they often drag their feet. We can often help coordinate rentals or property damage repairs through your collision coverage while we fight the liability carrier.
12. What if I was an undocumented worker in Kirbyville?
Your immigration status does not matter in a Texas personal injury case. You have the same right to medical care and lost wages as anyone else. We have native Spanish speakers, including attorney Lupe Peña, who can discuss your case in complete confidence.
13. What is a “Letter of Protection”?
If you don’t have health insurance, we can provide a Letter of Protection (LOP) to Kirbyville area doctors. This allows you to get the medical care you need (MRI, therapy, surgery) without paying anything upfront. The doctor agrees to wait until the case settles to be paid out of the recovery.
14. What if the crash happened in a parking lot?
Parking lot crashes still follow the rules of negligence. We look for surveillance footage from Kirbyville retailers or grocery stores immediately to prove what happened.
15. How do I get a copy of my crash report?
We pull them for you through the TxDOT C.R.I.S. portal. If the paper report has errors (incorrect names or insurance notes), we work with the local police to file a corrected CR-3.1.
16. What are the signs of a Traumatic Brain Injury?
mTBI or concussion often manifests as dizziness, sudden irritability, light sensitivity, or “brain fog.” If you hit your head—or even if you didn’t, but had severe “whip” force—you need a neurological evaluation. We have recovered over $9.8M in TBI cases.
17. What if the at-fault driver was a city or county vehicle?
This triggers the Texas Tort Claims Act (TTCA). Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.101, you have a strict 6-month notice deadline. Missing this is a jurisdictional bar — your case will be dismissed. Call us today if you were hit by a government vehicle.
18. Does Ralph Manginello personally handle cases?
Yes. Ralph is the managing partner, and he is involved in the strategy of every major case. Our clients have direct access to him. As Chad Harris said: “You are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”
19. What if the driver was a teenager?
We look for “Negligent Entrustment” claims against the parents who lent the car. This can often double the available insurance coverage.
20. Do I have to go to trial?
90% of cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial. Insurance companies pay more when they know your lawyer is not afraid of a Jasper County jury.
21. What happens if the other driver’s insurance denies the claim?
We file a lawsuit. A denial doesn’t mean your case is over; it means the fight has started. We use Lupe Peña’s insurance-defense experience to tear their denial apart.
22. Can I get a settlement for “pain and suffering”?
Yes. Under Texas law, pain and suffering is a “non-economic” damage. There is no formula for it, but we use the “Multiplier” or “Per Diem” methods to demand a fair cash value for the misery you’ve endured.
23. What if a road defect caused the crash?
If a missing stop sign or a massive pothole caused the crash, we might have a claim against the city or TxDOT. These are premises-defect cases under the TTCA and require immediate site preservation.
24. How many reviews does Attorney 911 have?
We have over 270 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating. We are proud of our reputation among real families in Texas.
25. Is there a charge for the first meeting?
Never. Your consultation is 100% free and confidential.
26. Can I switch lawyers if I’m not happy with my current firm?
Yes. If you feel like your current lawyer isn’t calling you back or is pushing you to accept a tiny settlement, you have the right to change counsel. We handle the transition and the prior lawyer’s lien.
27. What if the accident was caused by a mechanical failure?
We preserve the car and investigate the potentially defective part. This may lead to a product-liability claim against a manufacturer like Toyota, Ford, or GM.
28. What should I do if a logging truck hit me?
Call us immediately. Logging trucks often operate under small-company names that exist one day and vanish the next. We need to secure their insurance information and ELD logs before they disappear.
29. What is a “Stowers Demand”?
It’s an offer to settle within policy limits that puts the insurance company on the hook for a bad-faith claim if they refuse and lose at trial. It’s our most powerful weapon to force them to pay.
30. How do I start?

Abogado de Accidentes de Auto en Kirbyville | Attorney 911 – La Firma Legal Manginello
Usted viajaba por la carretera US 96 atravesando Kirbyville hacia Jasper cuando un camión maderero se metió en su carril. O tal vez estaba detenido en la intersección de Main Street y la carretera Highway 82 cuando un conductor distraído lo chocó por detrás. En ese segundo, su vida cambió. Los vehículos se veían muy dañados, los cristales estallaron y la adrenalina era tan fuerte que le dijo al oficial de la policía de Kirbyville que se sentía “bien”.
Ahora, cuarenta y ocho horas después, no puede girar la cabeza. Le duele la espalda baja y siente un dolor punzante que le baja por la pierna. El ajustador de la aseguranza del otro conductor ya lo llamó dos veces, ofreciéndole un “cheque rápido” por su “molestia” si firma un documento de liberación hoy mismo.

Las Realidades de Conducir en Kirbyville y el Condado de Jasper
Kirbyville es el corazón de la industria maderera del este de Texas. Aunque nuestra ciudad es pequeña, el tráfico en la carretera US 96 es intenso y peligroso. Analizamos los datos de accidentes del Distrito 20 de TxDOT y las puntuaciones de seguridad federales de la FMCSA para las empresas de camiones que frecuentan nuestra región.
Los camiones madereros y los de 18 ruedas que transportan madera por el condado de Jasper suelen ir sobrecargados o mal mantenidos. Un camión de 80,000 libras requiere casi el doble de distancia para frenar que un auto familiar en el pavimento seco de Kirbyville, y con la lluvia frecuente de nuestra zona, esa distancia se expande a más de 900 pies. Cuando estos vehículos masivos chocan con un auto de pasajeros en un camino de dos carriles como la FM 1013, los resultados rara vez son menores.
Conocemos los caminos peligrosos donde las familias de Kirbyville corren más riesgo:
- Carretera US 96: La vía principal norte-sur. Las colisiones a alta velocidad y el tráfico pesado de camiones comerciales hacen que este sea el lugar más frecuente de accidentes catastróficos en el área.
- Carretera Highway 82 / Main Street: El núcleo comercial de Kirbyville donde ocurren choques por detrás debido a conductores distraídos a diario.
- FM 1013 y FM 363: Caminos rurales donde la falta de iluminación y los acotamientos estrechos contribuyen a choques graves y salidas del camino.
Cuando ocurre un accidente grave en Kirbyville, las unidades de emergencia suelen llevar a los pacientes al Jasper Memorial Hospital para estabilizarlos. Sin embargo, para lesiones de médula espinal o lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (TBI), los pacientes a menudo son trasladados en helicóptero a centros de trauma en Beaumont, como el CHRISTUS Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth. Hemos pasado décadas trabajando con estos equipos médicos para asegurar que su reclamo tenga toda la evidencia necesaria para la corte.
¿Qué Pasa si el Accidente Fue con un Camión Maderero?
Usted debe saber que las leyes federales de seguridad (conocidas como FMCSA o 49 CFR § 390) imponen reglas estrictas a los camiones comerciales. Si el chofer estaba cansado, si no había dormido lo suficiente o si los frenos del remolque estaban fallando, la compañía dueña del camión es responsable.
Nosotros enviamos cartas legales de inmediato para “congelar” la evidencia de las computadoras del camión (Electronic Logging Devices). Si no se hace rápido, las compañías borran esos datos para ocultar sus errores. Ralph Manginello sabe cómo litigar contra estas grandes corporaciones; él estuvo involucrado en el litigio contra la empresa BP tras la explosión de la refinería de Texas City en 2005. No nos intimidan las empresas grandes de camiones.
El Marco Legal en Texas: Estatutos que Usted Debe Conocer
Las leyes de accidentes en Texas tienen detalles técnicos que pueden arruinar su caso si no se manejan bien.
El Plazo de Prescripción de Dos Años
Conforme al Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.16.htm#16.003), usted tiene exactamente dos años desde la fecha del accidente para presentar una demanda judicial. No espere al último minuto; la evidencia desaparece pronto.
Culpa Comparativa Modificada (Regla del 51%)
Texas utiliza el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.33.htm#33.001). Usted puede recibir compensación siempre y cuando no sea responsable en más del 50% del accidente. Si un jurado de Kirbyville decide que usted tuvo el 20% de la culpa por ir rápido, su compensación se reduce un 20%. Si tiene el 51% de la culpa, no recibe nada.
Gastos Médicos Pagados o Incurridos (Regla Haygood)
Bajo el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105 (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.41.htm#41.0105), solo puede reclamar en la demanda lo que realmente se pagó a los doctores, no lo que dice la factura inicial. Por eso es vital que un abogado experto calcule sus daños de dolor y sufrimiento para que usted reciba lo que realmente merece.
La Ventaja de Tener a Lupe Peña: El Ex-Ajustador a su Lado
El abogado Lupe Peña es nuestra arma secreta. Antes de estar con nosotros, él trabajaba para las compañías de seguros. Él sabe cómo piensan los ajustadores. Sabe cuándo le están mintiendo y cuándo el ofrecimiento que le hacen es una burla.
Las aseguranza usan programas como Colossus para decir que su dolor de cuello no vale nada solo porque el carro no tiene muchos daños. Lupe Peña desmantela esas mentiras porque él estuvo ahí cuando crearon esos protocolos. Ahora él lucha PARA los conductores de Kirbyville, no para las empresas ricas.
Preguntas Frecuentes (FAQ) para Clientes en Kirbyville
1. ¿Necesito un abogado para un choque pequeño?
Si tiene dolor, sí. Las aseguranzas usan programas de “Bajo Impacto” para negar pagos aunque usted necesite terapia. Como dijo nuestro cliente Ernest Cano: “El Sr. Manginello y su firma son de primera clase. Luchará con uñas y dientes por usted”.
2. ¿Cuánto vale mi caso?
Depende de la gravedad de sus lesiones y de cuánta aseguranza tenga el culpable. Hemos ganado casos de miles de dólares y casos de varios millones (hasta $9.8 millones para lesiones cerebrales). Cada caso es único.
3. ¿Tengo que pagar por la primera consulta?
Nunca. La consulta es gratis y no tiene obligación de contratarnos.
4. ¿Qué pasa si no tengo papeles o seguro social?
Su estatus migratorio no tiene nada que ver con su derecho a recibir compensación por sus heridas en Texas. Lupe Peña puede explicarle esto en español con total seguridad.
5. ¿Qué pasa si me chocó un vehículo de la ciudad de Kirbyville o del condado?
Esto activa la Ley de Reclamos por Agravios de Texas (TTCA). Usted tiene una fecha límite muy estricta de 6 meses para dar aviso oficial. Si se pasa de esa fecha, pierde su derecho a demandar para siempre.
6. ¿Trabajan bajo contingencia?
Sí. No nos paga nada a menos que ganemos su caso. Si no hay dinero para usted, no hay honorarios para nosotros.
7. ¿Pueden ayudarme a recibir atención médica?
Sí. Podemos usar “Cartas de Protección” (LOP) para que los doctores lo vean sin que usted pague nada de su bolsillo ahora. Los doctores esperan a cobrar cuando el caso se resuelva.
8. ¿Qué es una demanda “Stowers”?
Es una herramienta legal de Texas que obliga a la aseguranza a pagar todo el veredicto si se negaron a aceptar un acuerdo justo dentro de los límites de la póliza al principio. Es la mejor forma de presionarlos para que paguen lo justo.
9. ¿Qué pasa si el otro conductor no tenía aseguranza?
Usamos su propia póliza si usted tiene cobertura de “Conductor No Asegurado” (UM). En Texas, esto es vital porque muchos conductores en el este de Texas no traen aseguranza vigente.
10. ¿Cómo empiezo mi reclamo?
