Colmesneil Car Accident Lawyer | Attorney911 Legal Emergency Lawyers™

If you’ve been hurt in a car accident on US Highway 69 near the heart of Tyler County, you’re probably scared, overwhelmed, and wondering what to do next. We understand. Here in Colmesneil, where everyone knows everyone and a trip to the store means driving 20 miles to Jasper or Woodville, a car wreck doesn’t just disrupt your day—it can devastate your entire life. The medical bills start piling up, you can’t work, and the insurance company that promised to be “like a good neighbor” is already finding reasons to delay your claim.

You’re not alone. In 2024, Texas saw 251,977 people injured in motor vehicle crashes—that’s one injury every 2 minutes and 5 seconds. While Colmesneil itself is a small town of about 600 people, Tyler County saw its share of serious accidents on those rural highways where speed limits are high and emergency response takes precious time. When you’re facing the aftermath of a crash in Colmesneil, you need someone who knows East Texas roads, understands Tyler County courts, and has the experience to take on billion-dollar insurance companies. That’s exactly what we bring to the table.

At Attorney911, we don’t just handle car accident cases—we fight for families across Colmesneil and all of East Texas who’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. Ralph Manginello has been practicing law for over 27 years, admitted to federal court in the Southern District of Texas, and our firm includes a former insurance defense attorney who knows how these companies operate from the inside. We’ve recovered millions for injured Texans, and we don’t get paid unless we win your case.

What to Do Right Now After a Car Accident in Colmesneil

The actions you take in the first 48 hours after a Colmesneil car accident can make or break your case. Here’s exactly what to do:

First 6 Hours:

• Get to safety and call 911. Tyler County Sheriff’s Office or DPS will respond
• Accept medical transport to Christus Southeast Texas Hospital in Jasper or UT Health East Texas in Tyler—adrenaline masks injuries
• Take photos of everything: vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, your injuries
• Get names and numbers of any witnesses—crucial in rural Colmesneil where traffic is lighter
• Call us immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911 before talking to any insurance adjuster

24-48 Hours:

• Follow up with your primary care doctor within 48 hours
• Preserve all evidence: damaged clothing, receipts, medical records
• Do NOT give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance
• Make all social media accounts private—insurance companies monitor everything
• Contact Attorney911 for a free consultation. We’ll handle the insurance companies while you focus on healing

Evidence disappears fast in Colmesneil. Traffic camera footage from Highway 69 intersections is typically deleted in 7-30 days. Witnesses who saw your accident may move or their memories fade. Black box data from commercial trucks can be overwritten in 30-180 days. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can send preservation letters to lock down this critical evidence.

The Insurance Company Is Not Your Friend—We Know Their Playbook

Here’s something most Colmesneil residents don’t realize until it’s too late: the insurance adjuster who sounds so concerned about your wellbeing is actively building a case against you. We know this because Lupe Peña, one of our attorneys, worked for years at a national defense firm learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims. Now he uses that insider knowledge to protect injured Texans.

Insurance Tactic #1: The “Friendly” Recorded Statement
Within days of your Colmesneil accident, the adjuster calls saying they “just need to complete their file.” While you’re still on pain medication and confused, they ask leading questions: “You’re feeling better though, right?” “It wasn’t that serious?” Everything you say is recorded, transcribed, and will be used to minimize your claim. You’re not required to give them a statement. Once you hire us, all communication goes through our office.

Insurance Tactic #2: The Lowball Quick Offer
We see this constantly in Tyler County cases. Insurance offers $3,000-$5,000 while you’re desperate with bills piling up from Jasper Memorial or UT Health Tyler. They say the offer expires in 48 hours. What they don’t tell you: when you accept, you sign a release that permanently ends your claim. Six weeks later, when your doctor discovers a herniated disc requiring $100,000 surgery, you’re on the hook for everything. We’ve seen this devastate families in Colmesneil and across East Texas.

Insurance Tactic #3: The “Independent” Medical Exam
Months into your treatment, they demand you see “their” doctor. These IME physicians are paid $2,000-$5,000 by insurance companies to write reports minimizing your injuries. Lupe hired these exact doctors for years. He knows their biases, their tricks, and how to counter their findings with real medical experts who understand the progression of traumatic injuries.

Insurance Tactic #4: Delay and Financial Pressure
Insurance companies have unlimited time and resources. You have mounting medical bills, lost wages from missed work at Tyler County businesses, and creditors calling. They delay responding to your calls, “lose” paperwork, and wait for you to become desperate enough to accept pennies on the dollar. Lupe used these delay tactics for years. Now we fight back by filing lawsuits that force them to act.

Insurance Tactic #5: Surveillance and Social Media Monitoring
They hire private investigators to follow you around Colmesneil, filming you grocery shopping in Jasper or attending church. They monitor your Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, looking for one photo of you smiling to claim “you’re fine.” As Lupe explains: “I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos as a defense attorney. They take ONE frame of you moving ‘normally’ and ignore the 10 minutes of you struggling. It’s not documentation—it’s ammunition.”

Insurance Tactic #6: Comparative Fault Arguments
Texas uses modified comparative negligence (51% bar). If they can blame you for even 10% of the accident, they save thousands on your settlement. They’ll claim you were speeding on Highway 69 or distracted. Lupe made these arguments for insurance companies. Now he anticipates and defeats them with accident reconstruction and witness testimony.

Insurance Tactic #7: The Medical Authorization Trap
They request broad authorizations for your entire medical history, searching for any pre-existing condition from years ago to blame your current pain on. We limit authorizations to accident-related records only.

Insurance Tactic #8: Attacking Gaps in Treatment
Miss one doctor’s appointment and they claim “you must not be hurt.” We ensure consistent treatment and document legitimate reasons for any gaps.

Insurance Tactic #9: Hiding Policy Limits
They claim the at-fault driver only has $30,000 when additional umbrella policies or corporate coverage exists. Lupe knows insurance coverage structures from the inside. We investigate every possible source, often finding $500,000 to $5 million in hidden coverage.

Why Colmesneil Families Choose Attorney911

When you’re up against billion-dollar insurance companies after a car accident, you need more than a lawyer who handles “some” personal injury cases. You need a team with proven results, insider knowledge, and the resources to go toe-to-toe with corporate giants.

27+ Years of Fighting for Texas Families

Ralph Manginello has been practicing personal injury law in Texas since 1998—over 27 years of taking on the biggest insurance companies and winning. He’s not just licensed in Texas courts; he’s admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which means he can handle complex cases that require federal litigation. When a case involves serious trucking accidents, maritime injuries, or multi-state defendants, federal court experience is essential.

Ralph’s background gives him unique insight into how to tell your story. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Journalism and Public Relations before earning his law degree. That journalism training taught him how to present compelling narratives—the same skill that convinces juries to award multi-million dollar verdicts.

The BP Explosion Litigation Experience

Very few law firms in Texas can say they’ve taken on a $2.1 billion case against a Fortune 500 company. Attorney911 can. Ralph was involved in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation—the 2005 disaster that killed 15 workers and injured over 180 others. That case settled for $2.1 billion and required federal court expertise, coordination between hundreds of plaintiffs, and the ability to stand up to one of the world’s largest corporations.

When you’re facing a trucking company, a major delivery service like Amazon or FedEx, or a negligent corporation, you want the lawyer who has already been in that arena and won.

Multi-Million Dollar Results for Our Clients

“Multi-million dollar settlement for client who suffered brain injury with vision loss when log dropped on him at logging company.”

“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.”

These aren’t hypotheticals—they’re real results we’ve achieved for real Texans. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, and insurance companies know we’re not bluffing. That preparation and trial readiness translates into higher settlement offers for our clients, even when a case ultimately settles out of court.

Our Insurance Defense Advantage

Here’s what truly sets Attorney911 apart from every other personal injury firm serving Colmesneil: our firm includes a former insurance defense attorney who spent years learning how large insurance companies value claims, delay payments, and minimize injuries.

Lupe Peña worked at a national defense firm where he:

• Set reserves and calculated settlement values using the same software (Colossus) insurance companies use today
• Hired the “independent” medical exam doctors who write reports minimizing injuries
• Used comparative fault arguments to shift blame onto injured victims
• Deployed surveillance and social media monitoring to catch claimants in compromising positions
• Developed delay tactics specifically designed to pressure desperate families into lowball settlements

Now Lupe uses that insider knowledge FOR you, not against you. He knows what adjusters are thinking when they review your claim because he used to be one of them. He understands how to present medical evidence to beat the algorithm and trigger higher valuations. He anticipates their strategies before they deploy them.

As Lupe explains: “I understand claim valuation—I calculated them myself for years. When insurance offers $50,000 on a case that should settle for $500,000, I know exactly why and how to fight back.”

This is the unfair advantage Colmesneil families get when they hire Attorney911.

Real Clients, Real Results

Donald Wilcox said it best: “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.” We took over a case another firm rejected and turned it into a substantial settlement.

Greg Garcia told us: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Manginello law firm were able to help me out.” We don’t reject difficult cases—we thrive on them.

Chavodrian Miles was amazed: “Leonor got me into the doctor the same day…it only took 6 months amazing.” In a world where some firms take years, our team moves fast and efficiently.

Chelsea Martinez thanked “Mr. Pena, for your kindness and patience with my repeated questions.” We answer every question—no client is a burden.

Brian Butchee experienced our communication: “Melanie was excellent. She kept me informed and when she said she would call me back, she did. I got to speak with Ralph Manginello once and knew quickly the way his Firm was ran.” Ralph personally speaks with clients—we’re not a volume mill where you never meet your attorney.

Chad Harris captured our culture: “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.” That’s how we treat every Colmesneil client who walks through our doors.

Hannah Garcia praised our speed: “Mariela and Zulema have done such a fantastic job…gone above and beyond to get my case settled quickly!” Quick, efficient results without sacrificing quality.

These testimonials aren’t anonymous—they’re real people with real names. That’s the kind of personal service you get at Attorney911.

Complete Texas Car Accident Legal Framework

Understanding your rights under Texas law is crucial. Here’s what protects you after a Colmesneil car accident:

Texas Is an At-Fault State

Unlike no-fault states, Texas allows you to file a claim directly against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This means their liability coverage is responsible for your damages, but it also means their insurance will fight tooth and nail to minimize what they pay.

Modified Comparative Negligence (51% Bar)

Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 33.001 says you can recover damages only if you’re 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage. If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Example: If your case is worth $100,000 and you’re found 20% at fault, you recover $80,000. This is why insurance tries so hard to blame you—even small percentages save them thousands. But even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover as long as it’s 50% or less.

Statute of Limitations: 2 Years

You have exactly 2 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss this deadline and your case is barred forever—no exceptions. For Colmesneil accidents involving government vehicles (TxDOT, county vehicles), you have only 6 months to provide formal notice.

Texas Dram Shop Act

If you were hit by a drunk driver in Colmesneil, the bar or restaurant that overserved them may be liable under Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02. Signs of obvious intoxication include slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, unsteady gait, and aggressive behavior.

This is HUGE for Tyler County cases. That drunk driver who hit you on Highway 69 after leaving a Jasper bar? The establishment that served them may have a $1 million commercial policy. Lupe’s dram shop experience means we know how to investigate bar receipts, surveillance footage, and witness testimony to prove over-service.

Stowers Doctrine: The Nuclear Option

This is the most powerful collection tool in Texas law. If we send the at-fault driver’s insurance company a settlement demand within their policy limits, and they unreasonably refuse, they become liable for the ENTIRE verdict—even if it exceeds their policy limits dramatically.

This is particularly effective in rear-end collisions and DUI cases where liability is clear. Lupe handled Stowers demands from the defense side. He knows exactly when an insurer is being unreasonable and how to leverage that for maximum recovery.

Punitive Damages: No Cap for Felony DWI

Standard punitive damages are capped at $200,000 or (2x economic damages) + non-economic damages up to $750,000. BUT—if the at-fault driver was convicted of felony DWI (Intoxication Assault or Intoxication Manslaughter), there is NO CAP on punitive damages. The jury decides the amount.

These punitive damages are also NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy, meaning the at-fault driver can’t escape them.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

About 14% of Texas drivers have no insurance. If you’re hit by an uninsured driver in Colmesneil, your own UM/UIM coverage can pay for your injuries. This coverage also protects you as a pedestrian or cyclist—one of the most underutilized facts in Texas insurance law.

Critical: Many Colmesneil residents don’t realize their own auto policy covers them even when they’re not in their car. If you’re walking to the post office and get hit, your UM/UIM can pay.

Types of Car Accidents We Handle in Colmesneil

Whether your accident happened on Highway 69, FM 256, or a quiet residential street, we have the experience to handle it. Here are the most common accident types we see in Tyler County:

Rear-End Collisions: The “Least Defensible” Crash

Failed to Control Speed caused 131,978 crashes in Texas in 2024—one every 4 minutes. In Tyler County and rural East Texas, high-speed rear-ends on Highway 69 are particularly dangerous because there’s nowhere to escape.

Why these cases are tough for insurance: Texas law presumes the trailing driver is at fault (Transportation Code § 545.062). The only real defenses are if you reversed suddenly, made an illegal lane change, or experienced mechanical failure. This is as close to automatic liability as exists in personal injury law.

Hidden Injury Escalation: Many Colmesneil clients initially think they have “minor” whiplash, only to develop herniated discs requiring epidural injections or spinal fusion months later. A case that might settle for $15,000 in week one can be worth $175,000-$500,000+ once surgery is involved.

Our Experience: We recently settled a case for a client whose leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. The case settled in the millions. We prepare every rear-end case for the possibility of catastrophic escalation.

Client Experience: MONGO SLADE said after his rear-end collision: “The team got right to work…I also got a very nice settlement.” Chavodrian Miles added: “Leonor got me into the doctor the same day…it only took 6 months amazing.”

T-Bone / Angle Collisions at Intersections

Failed to Yield Right of Way caused 88,660 crashes statewide in 2024, killing 397 people. In Colmesneil, the intersection of US 69 and SH 256 sees heavy truck traffic and frequent T-bone collisions.

Why these are so dangerous: Side-impact collisions have the second-highest fatality rate after head-on crashes. When a large truck T-bones a passenger vehicle at highway speeds, the results are often catastrophic.

Clear Liability: Running a red light or stop sign is captured on camera? The case is essentially over on liability. The police citation for a traffic violation is powerful evidence that the insurance company can’t easily dispute.

Head-On Collisions

Wrong-way driving on Highway 69 or FM roads around Colmesneil creates some of the deadliest crashes. In 2024, head-on collisions killed 617 people in Texas. These crashes often involve drunk drivers or fatigued truckers.

The Recovery Stack: These cases can access multiple insurance policies:

• At-fault driver’s policy ($30K minimum)
• Your UM/UIM coverage
• Dram shop liability if drunk driving was involved ($1M+ commercial policies)
• Punitive damages (no cap for felony DWI)

Single-Vehicle / Run-Off-Road Crashes

Failed to Drive in Single Lane caused 800 fatal crashes in 2024—the #1 killer factor in Texas. In rural Tyler County, these crashes are often caused by:

• Defective road conditions (potholes, missing guardrails, shoulder drop-offs)
• Vehicle defects (tire blowouts, steering failure)
• Being forced off the road by another driver who flees

Government Liability: If a TxDOT or Tyler County road defect caused your single-vehicle accident, we can pursue a claim under the Texas Tort Claims Act. But you only have 6 months to provide notice—call us immediately.

Product Liability: If a tire blowout or brake failure caused your crash, the manufacturer is strictly liable. We preserve the vehicle for expert inspection to prove the defect.

DUI / Drunk Driving Accidents

In 2024, DUI-alcohol crashes killed 1,053 people in Texas—one every 8.3 hours. In Tyler County, where there’s limited public transportation and residents drive long distances to bars in Jasper or Woodville, DUI is a serious problem.

The Timeline: Peak DUI crashes occur between 2:00-2:59 AM on Sundays—exactly when Texas bars close under TABC regulations. This creates a direct link to dram shop liability. Every DUI crash at closing time involves a bar that overserved the driver.

Our Criminal + Civil Capability: Ralph Manginello’s membership in the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association means we handle both the civil injury claim AND any related criminal charges. We’ve gotten DUI charges dismissed when police failed to maintain breathalyzer machines properly or lost critical evidence.

Case Results: We have three documented DWI dismissals where cases were thrown out due to:

• Improperly maintained breathalyzer machines
• Missing hospital blood test evidence and EMS notes
• Video evidence showing the driver didn’t appear intoxicated

This same attention to detail wins civil cases.

Commercial Truck / 18-Wheeler Accidents

Texas leads the nation in truck accidents. In 2024, we had 39,393 commercial vehicle crashes killing 608 people. The 97/3 rule applies: in two-vehicle crashes between passenger vehicles and large trucks, 97% of people killed are in the passenger vehicle.

FMCSA Violations = Negligence Per Se: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations create strict rules. Violations are automatic negligence:

• Hours of Service violations (max 11 hours driving)
• ELD tampering (federal crime)
• Commercial BAC limit of 0.04%
• Pre-trip inspection requirements

Deep Pocket Chain: In trucking cases, we can pursue claims against:

• The truck driver
• The motor carrier (trucking company)
• The freight broker
• The cargo loader
• The maintenance facility
• The vehicle/parts manufacturer

Each has separate insurance policies. The MCS-90 endorsement guarantees payment to injured third parties even if the policy would otherwise exclude coverage.

Multi-Million Results: “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.”

Motorcycle Accidents

In 2024, 585 motorcyclists died on Texas roads. In Tyler County’s rural landscape, motorcycles are popular, but they face unique dangers:

• Cars turning left in front of bikes (42% of fatal motorcycle crashes)
• Road hazards that don’t affect cars
• Jury bias against “reckless bikers”

We combat bias by humanizing our clients and showing clear liability. The #1 cause is still cars failing to yield right of way.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are 1% of crashes but 19% of fatalities in Texas. In 2024, 768 pedestrians died—75% after dark, 84% in urban areas, but rural pedestrian accidents on highways like US 69 are often fatal due to high speeds.

The $30K Problem: TX minimum liability is only $30,000, but pedestrian injuries are catastrophic. Your own UM/UIM coverage applies even as a pedestrian—this is the most underutilized fact in Texas insurance law. Most people don’t know their car insurance protects them when they’re walking.

Client Testimonial: 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.” That’s the support pedestrian accident victims need.

Hit & Run Accidents

Every 43 seconds in the U.S., someone is involved in a hit-and-run. In Texas, leaving the scene of an accident causing serious injury is a 3rd degree felony (2-10 years in prison). But that doesn’t help you recover compensation.

UM/UIM is your lifeline. Your own uninsured motorist coverage pays for hit-and-run injuries. We act fast to locate surveillance footage from nearby businesses or homes before it’s deleted in 7-30 days.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

While Colmesneil doesn’t have rideshare service, accidents happen when you’re traveling to Houston, Austin, or Dallas. The insurance is tiered:

• Period 1 (app on, no ride): $50,000/$100,000/$25,000
• Period 2/3 (ride accepted/passenger in vehicle): $1,000,000

58% of rideshare crash victims are third parties—other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists. If an Uber driver hits you in Houston, their $1M commercial policy applies.

Delivery Vehicle Accidents (Amazon, FedEx, UPS)

These are EXTREMELY UNDERSERVED cases. Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP) model tries to shield Amazon from liability, but we pierce that shield by documenting Amazon’s control over routes, quotas, uniforms, cameras, and deactivation.

Our Strategy: We investigate and pursue claims against:

• The driver
• The DSP company
• Amazon/FedEx/UPS corporate (negligent hiring/supervision)
• Maintenance providers

Recent Results: Lopez v. All Points 360 (Amazon DSP) resulted in a $105 million verdict in 2024. We’re prepared to take on these giants.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Economic Damages (No Cap in Texas)

• Medical expenses: Past and future ER, surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, medications, medical equipment
• Lost wages: Past and future income loss
• Lost earning capacity: If you can’t return to your previous work
• Property damage: Vehicle repair/replacement
• Out-of-pocket expenses: Transportation to appointments, home modifications, household help

Non-Economic Damages (No Cap Except Medical Malpractice)

• Pain and suffering: Physical pain from injuries
• Mental anguish: Emotional distress, anxiety, PTSD
• Physical impairment: Loss of function, disability
• Disfigurement: Scarring, visible injuries
• Loss of consortium: Impact on marriage
• Loss of enjoyment of life: Can’t do activities you love

Punitive Damages: Unlimited in Felony DWI Cases

If the at-fault driver was convicted of felony DWI, there’s NO statutory cap on punitive damages. These are designed to punish and deter outrageous conduct.

Settlement Ranges in Texas:

• Soft tissue injuries: $15,000-$60,000
• Simple fractures: $35,000-$95,000
• Herniated disc with surgery: $346,000-$1,205,000
• TBI (moderate-severe): $1,548,000-$9,838,000
• Spinal cord injury: $4,770,000-$25,880,000
• Wrongful death: $1,910,000-$9,520,000

FAQ: What Colmesneil Residents Ask Us

Q: What should I do immediately after a car accident in Colmesneil?
A: Call 911, get medical help even if you feel okay, take photos of everything, get witness information, and call 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to any insurance company. We can guide you through the next steps while you’re still at the scene.

Q: Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
A: Absolutely not. Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to say things that minimize your injuries. You’re not required to give a statement to the other driver’s insurance. Once you hire us, all communication goes through our office.

Q: How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?
A: Two years from the accident date for personal injury claims. But if a government vehicle was involved, you have only 6 months to provide notice. Evidence disappears much sooner—call us immediately.

Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
A: Texas uses modified comparative negligence. You can recover damages as long as you’re 50% or less at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. So if you’re 20% at fault, you still get 80% of your damages. Insurance tries to inflate your fault percentage—Lupe knows how to fight back.

Q: How much is my case worth?
A: It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and long-term impact. Soft tissue cases might settle for $15K-$60K, while cases requiring surgery can be worth $346K-$1.2M+. We’ve settled cases in the millions for catastrophic injuries. Call for a free case evaluation.

Q: Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current one?
A: Yes, absolutely. Greg Garcia told us: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Manginello law firm were able to help me out.” CON3531 added: “They took over my case from another lawyer and got to working on my case.” We take over cases other firms can’t handle.

Q: Do you handle Spanish-speaking clients?
A: Sí. Luque Peña es fluido en español y nuestro personal incluye a Zulema y Mariela para servicios de traducción. Hablamos Español. Celia Dominguez told us: “Especially Miss Zulema, who is always very kind and always translates.”

Q: How quickly can you get me into treatment?
A: The same day in many cases. Chavodrian Miles reported: “Leonor got me into the doctor the same day.” We have relationships with medical providers across East Texas who will treat you on a lien basis—you don’t pay until we win your case.

Q: What if the other driver was uninsured?
A: About 14% of Texas drivers have no insurance. Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can pay for your injuries. This also applies if you’re a pedestrian or cyclist. Most people don’t know their own policy protects them in these situations.

Q: Will my case go to trial?
A: Most cases settle, but insurance companies offer more when they know you’re prepared for trial. Ralph’s federal court admission and 27+ years of litigation experience shows insurance we’re serious. Jamin Marroquin said after his 19-month case: “Mr. Manginello guided me through the whole process with great expertise…tenacious, accessible, and determined.”
