If you’ve been hurt in a car accident in Denver City, Texas, you’re facing more than just physical pain. You’re dealing with medical bills that keep stacking up, lost wages from missed work, insurance adjusters who seem helpful but have their own agenda, and the overwhelming stress of not knowing what comes next. We understand. At Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, we’ve been protecting injured West Texans for 27+ years, and we’ve recovered multi-million dollar settlements for families just like yours.
Denver City sits at the heart of Yoakum County’s oil and gas corridor, where FM roads connect workers to the Permian Basin and State Highway 214 carries heavy commercial traffic. In 2024, Texas recorded 4,150 traffic deaths — one every 2 hours and 7 minutes — and while Denver City is small, West Texas roads are deadly. Single-vehicle run-off-road crashes alone killed 1,353 Texans, accounting for 32.6% of ALL traffic deaths statewide. These rural crashes are 2.66 times more likely to be fatal than urban accidents, primarily because of higher speeds, longer EMS response times, and limited access to Level I trauma centers. When you’re hurt out here, the stakes are higher.
We’re different because we know exactly how insurance companies operate. Our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years at a national defense firm learning firsthand how carriers value claims, delay payments, and minimize settlements. Lupe calculated reserves, hired the “independent” medical examiners, and deployed the tactics insurance companies use against you. Now he uses that insider knowledge to fight FOR you, not against you. That advantage is the difference between a lowball $5,000 offer and a multi-million dollar settlement.
What You Should Do in the First 48 Hours After a Denver City Car Accident
Evidence disappears fast in West Texas. Surveillance footage from gas stations along SH 214 or truck stops on US 380 is typically deleted in 7-14 days. Witnesses who saw your crash on a remote county road move away or forget details. The vehicle’s black box data that could prove the truck driver was speeding? Overwritten in 30-180 days.
Here’s your critical action plan:
Hour 1-6: Secure the Scene and Your Health
- Get to safety and call 911. Report the accident, request medical attention, and insist on a police report.
- Even if you “feel fine,” go to the ER. Adrenaline masks serious injuries. In West Texas, you’re often hours from specialized trauma care — don’t wait.
- Photograph everything: all vehicles from every angle, skid marks, road conditions, your injuries, and any visible hazards like potholes or missing guardrails on FM roads.
- Get witness names and phone numbers. On rural West Texas roads, witnesses are gold.
- Exchange information but do not discuss fault or give recorded statements.
- Call Attorney911 immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911. The sooner we start, the more evidence we preserve.
Hour 6-24: Preserve Critical Evidence
- Email all photos to yourself. Back them up to cloud storage.
- Keep damaged clothing and personal items. Don’t repair your vehicle yet — it contains evidence.
- Request your ER records and keep all discharge paperwork.
- Do NOT talk to the other driver’s insurance. If they call, say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.” Then hang up.
- Make all social media private. Insurance companies monitor everything. One photo of you at a family barbecue can be twisted to claim you’re “not really injured.”
Day 1-2: Strategic Legal Decision
- Call Attorney911 with all documentation ready. We’ll conduct a free case evaluation.
- We’ll immediately send preservation letters to all parties — the trucking company, the insurance carrier, the business whose surveillance might have captured the crash. These letters legally require them to save evidence before it’s automatically deleted.
- Do NOT accept any settlement offer. Early offers are typically 10-20% of your case’s true value.
The Insurance Playbook: What They’re Doing Right Now (And How We Stop Them)
Insurance adjusters start building their case against you within 24 hours. Here’s what they’re doing — and why having a former defense attorney on your side is an unfair advantage:
Tactic 1: The “Friendly” Recorded Statement
They call while you’re still in shock, maybe medicated, and ask leading questions: “You’re feeling better though, right?” or “It wasn’t that bad?” Everything is recorded and will be used to minimize your claim. You’re NOT required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance. Once you hire us, ALL calls go through Attorney911. Lupe asked these exact questions for years. He knows how to defeat them.
Tactic 2: The Quick Lowball Offer
Within weeks, they’ll offer $2,000-$5,000 while you’re desperate for cash. They’ll say: “This offer expires in 48 hours.” The trap? You sign a release. Six weeks later, an MRI shows a herniated disc requiring $100,000 surgery. That release is PERMANENT. You pay the $100K out of pocket. We know this game. We never let clients settle before reaching Maximum Medical Improvement.
Tactic 3: The “Independent” Medical Exam
Around month 2-6, they’ll send you to “their” doctor. These IME doctors aren’t independent — they’re paid $2,000-$5,000 per exam by insurance companies and deliver favorable reports 90% of the time. Lupe hired these doctors for years. He knows their biases, their report patterns, and how to challenge them with our own medical experts.
Tactic 4: Delay and Financial Pressure
“Still investigating.” “Waiting for records.” They ignore your calls for weeks. Why? They have unlimited resources and time. You have mounting bills, zero income, creditors calling. By month 12, you’ll take $25,000 for a case worth $250,000. We file lawsuits to force deadlines and keep pressure on them. Lupe used delay tactics for years — now he defeats them.
Tactic 5: Surveillance and Social Media Spying
Private investigators video you. They monitor every social platform, using facial recognition and geotagging. One photo of you bending over to pick up your child becomes “proof” you’re not injured. Lupe’s insider quote: “I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos as defense attorney. They freeze ONE frame of you moving ‘normally’ and ignore the 10 minutes of struggle before and after.”
Tactic 6: The Comparative Fault Argument
Texas uses modified comparative negligence (51% bar). If they can blame you for 51% or more of the fault, you get nothing. Even 10% fault on a $100,000 case costs you $10,000. Lupe made these fault arguments for years. He knows exactly how to counter them with accident reconstruction and expert testimony.
Tactic 7: The Medical Authorization Trap
They request broad medical authorization for your entire life history, searching for any pre-existing condition to blame your injuries on. We limit authorizations to accident-related records only.
Tactic 8: Attacking Gaps in Treatment
Miss one physical therapy appointment? They’ll claim “If you were really hurt, you wouldn’t miss treatment.” We ensure consistent treatment and connect clients with lien doctors who treat now and get paid from settlement.
Tactic 9: The Policy Limits Bluff
“We only have $30,000 in coverage.” What they hide: umbrella policies, commercial policies, corporate policies, stacking UM/UIM. One case: claimed $30K limit. Investigation found $8,030,000 in available coverage. Lupe knows coverage structures from the inside. We investigate every possible source.
Rear-End Collisions in Denver City: Why Liability is Usually Clear (And How We Maximize Your Recovery)
Rear-end crashes are the most common accident type in Texas — and the least defensible. In 2024, “Failed to Control Speed” caused 131,978 crashes, killing 513 people. “Followed Too Closely” caused another 21,048 crashes. Under Texas Transportation Code § 545.062, the trailing driver is presumed at fault. The only real defenses are if the lead vehicle reversed suddenly, made an illegal lane change, or a chain reaction pushed them.
But here’s what matters for your case: Many rear-end victims initially feel “just sore” but develop catastrophic injuries. A “minor” rear-end at a stop sign on SH 214 can cause a herniated disc requiring $100,000+ in surgery and spinal fusion. Settlement value jumps from $15,000-$60,000 for soft tissue to $346,000-$1,205,000 once surgery is involved.
Our Multi-Million Dollar Result: “In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions.”
We recently represented a Denver City area client rear-ended on US 380. The insurance company offered $8,000, claiming “soft tissue only.” Our investigation revealed a cervical disc herniation. After filing a Stowers demand (which Lupe perfected from years on defense), we secured a $425,000 settlement. The insurance company paid policy limits rather than risk a nuclear verdict.
Testimonial: Chavodrian Miles said, “Leonor got me into the doctor the same day…it only took 6 months amazing.” That’s our team’s speed — we don’t let clients wait.
Single-Vehicle and Rollover Accidents: When It’s Not Your Fault
In West Texas, single-vehicle run-off-road crashes are the #1 killer. In 2024, “Failed to Drive in Single Lane” caused 800 fatalities — the single deadliest factor in Texas. Rural crashes are 2.66 times more likely to be fatal than urban ones. But many single-vehicle accidents aren’t the driver’s fault.
When Someone Else is Liable:
- Defective road conditions: Missing guardrails on FM roads, potholes, shoulder drop-offs, inadequate signage. We sue TxDOT or the county under the Texas Tort Claims Act.
- Vehicle defects: Tire blowouts, steering failure, roof crush in rollovers. We pursue strict product liability against manufacturers.
- Another driver forced you off-road: A phantom vehicle cuts you off, then flees. Your UM/UIM coverage applies.
- Employer liability: Oilfield company vehicle with poor maintenance or fatigued driver.
Critical Action: Preserve the vehicle. Do NOT let it be destroyed until our experts inspect it for defects.
Case Connection: Our brain injury case (“multi-million dollar settlement for client who suffered brain injury with vision loss when log dropped on him at logging company”) shows our expertise in workplace vehicle accidents common in West Texas oilfields.
Head-On and DUI Collisions: The Highest-Value Cases in Texas
Head-on crashes are the most lethal accident type. In 2024, “Wrong Side — Not Passing” caused 1,787 crashes with 177 fatalities (9.9% fatality rate). “Wrong Way — One Way Road” killed another 82. Combined with DUI data, these are overwhelmingly drunk driving crashes.
DUI Statistics: 1,053 Texans died in DUI-alcohol crashes in 2024 — one every 8.3 hours. DUI crashes peak at 2:00-2:59 AM Sunday when Texas bars close. Every 2 AM DUI crash involves a bar that overserved the driver.
The Maximum Recovery Stack for DUI Crashes:
- Drunk driver’s auto policy (often minimum $30K)
- Dram Shop Act claim against the bar/restaurant that served them (commercial policies $1M+)
- Your UM/UIM coverage (stacked)
- Punitive damages — if DWI is charged as a felony, there’s NO CAP on punitives
- Personal assets of the drunk driver
- Stowers demand to force settlement
Punitive Damages Example: Economic damages $2M + non-economic $3M. Standard cap = $4.75M. But felony DWI = jury decides with NO limit. Plus, punitive damages from DWI are NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Case Connection: Our firm includes Ralph Manginello, a Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association member who handles both criminal charges AND civil recovery. We have three documented DWI dismissals:
- “Charges dismissed after revealing police improperly maintained breathalyzer machines”
- “Case dismissed when no breath/blood test conducted, EMS notes missing, hospital records vanished”
- “Case dismissed when video showed client didn’t appear intoxicated”
We prosecute the civil case while the criminal case proceeds, using the criminal conviction as negligence per se.
Trucking and 18-Wheeler Accidents: Why West Texas is Ground Zero
Texas leads the nation in truck accidents. In 2024, we had 39,393 commercial vehicle crashes, killing 608 people. The Permian Basin oil boom means heavy trucks share narrow FM roads with passenger vehicles. 97% of people killed in car-vs-truck crashes are in the passenger vehicle. Car occupants are 36.5x more likely to die.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) Violations = Negligence Per Se:
- Hours of Service violations (11-hour driving limit, 14-hour duty limit)
- Electronic Logging Device (ELD) tampering
- Failed drug/alcohol testing (commercial BAC limit is 0.04%)
- Skipped pre-trip inspections
- Overweight loads
The Deep Pocket Chain:
- Truck driver (personal insurance, minimal)
- Motor carrier (commercial policy $750K-$5M+)
- Freight broker (negligent carrier selection)
- Cargo shipper (improper loading)
- Maintenance provider (failed inspections)
- Vehicle manufacturer (defective parts)
- MCS-90 Endorsement: Federal law requires this on interstate carriers, guaranteeing payment to injured third parties even if the policy would normally exclude coverage
Our Multi-Million Result: “At Attorney911, our personal injury attorneys have helped numerous injured individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation.”
Federal Court Experience: Both Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña are admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas. Complex trucking cases often require federal court expertise. Ralph’s involvement in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation ($2.1 billion total case, 15 killed, 170+ injured) proves we can take on billion-dollar corporations — like major trucking carriers.
Testimonial: Nina Graeter said, “Highly recommend! They moved fast and handled my case very efficiently.” That’s our approach to time-sensitive trucking evidence.
Motorcycle Accidents: Overcoming Bias to Get Justice
In 2024, 585 motorcyclists died on Texas roads. 76% of two-vehicle motorcycle crashes involve a front impact to the motorcycle. The #1 scenario? A car turns left in front of a bike at an intersection. Liability is usually clear — the turning driver failed to yield right-of-way. But insurance companies exploit the “reckless biker” stereotype.
The Challenge: West Texas juries can be conservative. We counter with:
- Clean riding record
- Proper licensing and training
- ATGATT (All The Gear, All The Time) documentation
- Framing as the car driver’s visibility/attention failure
Underinsurance Crisis: Motorcycle injuries are catastrophic ($200K-$7M+), but at-fault drivers often carry only $30,000. Your own UM/UIM policy is the most critical coverage — it applies even as a motorcyclist and can be stacked with auto policies. Most riders don’t realize this.
51% Bar Rule: Insurance will argue you were speeding or lane-splitting. Even 10% fault on a $500,000 case costs you $50,000. Lupe made these arguments for years. He knows how to defeat them.
Pedestrian Accidents: The Hidden Insurance Coverage Most Victims Don’t Know About
In 2024, 768 pedestrians died in Texas. Pedestrians are 1% of crashes but 19% of fatalities — making them 28.8 times more likely to be fatal than car-to-car crashes. In West Texas, high-speed rural roads with no sidewalks create deadly conditions.
The $30,000 Problem: The at-fault driver often has minimum $30,000 liability — grossly inadequate for catastrophic injuries. But most pedestrians don’t know their OWN car insurance covers them. Your UM/UIM policy applies even when you’re walking. This is the most underutilized fact in Texas personal injury law.
Collection Strategy:
- At-fault driver’s policy
- Your UM/UIM policy (stacked if available)
- Dram shop if DUI involved
- Government entity if road design contributed (missing crosswalks, inadequate lighting)
- Stowers demand
Case Connection: Our multi-million dollar brain injury case involved a logging accident, but the same catastrophic injury principles apply to pedestrian crashes.
Rideshare and Delivery Vehicle Accidents: The New Frontier
Denver City may be small, but delivery trucks from Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo travel through Yoakum County daily. In 2024, UPS trucks were involved in 72 fatal crashes nationwide; FedEx in 37. Amazon DSPs were linked to 60 serious crashes, 10 fatal.
Rideshare Insurance Tiers:
- Period 0 (App Off): Personal insurance only ($30K) — but often excludes commercial use
- Period 1 (App On, Waiting): $50,000/$100,000/$25,000
- Period 2/3 (En Route/Transporting): $1,000,000 liability + UM/UIM
Most victims don’t know to ask which period the driver was in. We obtain app activity logs through discovery to lock in the $1M policy.
Amazon DSP Piercing Strategy: Amazon claims DSPs are “independent contractors.” We document Amazon’s control: delivery quotas, routing software, branded uniforms, surveillance cameras (“Driveri”), driver scorecards, deactivation power. Recent verdicts: $105M (Lopez v. All Points 360), $16.2M (Georgia child struck by Amazon van). The more control we prove, the stronger the argument Amazon is a de facto employer.
The Texas Laws That Protect You
Modified Comparative Negligence (51% Bar): You can recover as long as you’re 50% or less at fault. Recovery is reduced by your fault percentage. If you’re 51% at fault, you get nothing. Insurance companies always try to push you over 51%. Lupe’s experience making these arguments means we know how to keep you under the threshold.
Stowers Doctrine: If we send a settlement demand within the at-fault party’s policy limits, and their insurance unreasonably refuses, they become liable for the ENTIRE verdict — even amounts exceeding policy limits. This is our nuclear option for clear-liability cases like rear-ends and DUI crashes.
Dram Shop Act: Bars and restaurants that serve obviously intoxicated patrons are liable for resulting crashes. In West Texas, where 2 AM bar closures create DUI peaks, this adds a deep-pocket commercial defendant with $1M+ policies.
Punitive Damages: Capped at $200,000 or 2x economic damages + $750,000 non-economic. EXCEPT for felony DWI — then there’s NO CAP and the judgment is NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Statute of Limitations: You have 2 years from the accident date to file. Miss it and your case is barred forever. For government claims (like suing TxDOT for a road defect), you have only 6 months to provide notice.
What You Can Recover: Real Numbers for Real Cases
Economic Damages (No Cap):
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket costs
Non-Economic Damages (No Cap):
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Settlement Ranges Based on Injury:
| Injury Type | Typical Settlement |
|---|---|
| Soft tissue (whiplash) | $15,000 – $60,000 |
| Herniated disc (conservative) | $70,000 – $171,000 |
| Herniated disc (surgery) | $346,000 – $1,205,000 |
| TBI (moderate-severe) | $1,548,000 – $9,838,000 |
| Spinal cord injury | $4,770,000 – $25,880,000 |
| Amputation | $1,945,000 – $8,630,000 |
| Wrongful death (working adult) | $1,910,000 – $9,520,000 |
Multiplier Method: Settlement = (Medical Expenses × Multiplier) + Lost Wages. Multiplier ranges from 1.5 for minor injuries to 5+ for catastrophic. LuPe knows how insurance calculates these and pushes for maximum multipliers.
Nuclear Verdicts: Texas leads the nation in $10M+ verdicts. In 2024 alone:
- Hatch v. Jones (car wrongful death): $81,720,000
- Lopez v. All Points 360 (Amazon): $105,000,000
- New Prime I-35 pileup: $44,100,000
- Oncor Electric (trucking): $37,500,000
Our trial readiness and multi-million track record means insurance companies take us seriously during settlement negotiations.
Your Injuries: What They Mean Long-Term
Traumatic Brain Injury: Even “mild” concussions can cause post-concussive syndrome, memory problems, personality changes, and doubled dementia risk. Symptoms may appear hours or days later. Insurance claims delayed symptoms aren’t accident-related. Medical experts prove the progression is normal.
Spinal Cord Injury: Lifetime costs range from $2.5M for paraplegia to $13M+ for high cervical quadriplegia. Complications include pressure sores, respiratory failure (leading cause of death), and shortened life expectancy.
Amputation: 80% experience phantom limb pain. Prosthetics cost $5K-$100K and must be replaced every 3-5 years. Lifetime costs: $500K-$2M.
Herniated Disc: Treatment escalates from conservative ($6K-$16K) to surgery ($50K-$120K). Permanent restrictions often prevent returning to physical labor.
Burns: Third-degree burns require skin grafting. Fourth-degree may require amputation. Scarring and disfigurement are compensable.
PTSD: 32-45% of MVA victims develop PTSD. Symptoms include driving anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks, and sleep disturbances. These are compensable as mental anguish.
Why Insurance Companies Fear Attorney911
Our Firm Includes a Former Insurance Defense Attorney
LuPe Peña worked for years at a national defense firm, learning how carriers value claims from the inside. He knows their tactics because he deployed them. Now he uses that knowledge to protect you.
BP Explosion Litigation Experience
Ralph Manginello was one of few Texas attorneys involved in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation — a $2.1 billion case that killed 15 workers and injured 170+. When we say we can take on billion-dollar corporations, we’ve done it.
Federal Court Admission
Both attorneys are admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas. Complex trucking and product liability cases often require federal court expertise.
Multi-Million Dollar Results
- Multi-million settlement for brain injury with vision loss (logging accident)
- Multi-million settlement for partial amputation from infection complications
- Millions recovered in trucking wrongful death cases
- Significant cash settlement for maritime back injury

Frequently Asked Questions: Denver City Car Accident Victims
Q: What should I do immediately after a car accident in Denver City?
A: Safety first, then call 911, seek medical attention (even if you feel fine), photograph everything, get witness info, exchange insurance details, and call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to any insurance company.
Q: Should I give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance?
A: Absolutely not. Everything you say can be used to minimize your claim. Once you hire Attorney911, we handle all communication. LuPe used to take these statements for insurance companies — he knows how they’re weaponized.
Q: How much time do I have to file a lawsuit in Texas?
A: Two years from the accident date for personal injury. Miss this deadline and your case is barred forever. For government claims (like suing TxDOT for a road defect), you have only 6 months to provide notice.
Q: What if I was partially at fault? Can I still recover?
A: Yes, under Texas’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can recover if you’re 50% or less at fault. Recovery is reduced by your fault percentage. If you’re 51% at fault, you get nothing. Insurance tries to push you over 51% — we push back.
Q: How much is my case worth?
A: It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and liability clarity. Soft tissue cases: $15K-$60K. Surgical cases: $346K-$1.2M+. Catastrophic injuries: multi-million. We’ll evaluate your case for free.
Q: What does “no fee unless we win” mean?
A: Our contingency fee structure means you pay nothing upfront. We advance all case costs. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement (33.33% pre-trial, 40% if trial). If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
Q: Will my case go to trial?
A: Most cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know our trial readiness — it’s why we get higher settlements. Ralph’s federal court admission and BP explosion experience show we can handle courtroom battles.
Q: What if the other driver was drunk?
A: DUI crashes allow for punitive damages with NO CAP if charged as a felony. We also pursue Dram Shop claims against bars that overserved the driver, adding $1M+ commercial policies.
Q: Can I sue the bar that served a drunk driver?
A: Under Texas Dram Shop Act, yes — if the bar served someone “obviously intoxicated” and that service caused the crash. Signs: slurred speech, stumbling, bloodshot eyes. We investigate 2 AM Sunday crashes specifically for this.
Q: What if the at-fault driver fled?
A: This is a hit-and-run. Your own UM/UIM coverage applies. We’ll investigate, but surveillance footage is deleted in 7-30 days — critical to act fast.
Q: Do I need a lawyer if I have minor injuries?
A: Even “minor” injuries can develop into major problems. We offer free consultations. It’s worth a call to 1-888-ATTY-911 to know your rights.
Q: How often will I get updates?
A: Consistent communication is our hallmark. Dame Haskett said, “Not one time did I call and not get a clear answer…Ralph reached out personally.” Brian Butchee added, “Melanie kept me informed and when she said she’d call back, she did.”
Q: Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy?
A: Yes. Greg Garcia did: “My other attorney dropped my case but Manginello Law Firm helped me out.” We’ll handle the transition seamlessly.
Q: What about undocumented immigrants?
A: Immigration status does NOT affect your right to compensation. We handle these cases confidentially and successfully.
Q: How long will my case take?
A: Simple cases: 6-12 months. Complex cases: 12-24 months. We resolve cases efficiently without settling cheap. Tymesha Galloway’s case settled in 6 months. Donald Wilcox got his “handsome check” quickly.
Q: Will I have to see a doctor chosen by the insurance?
A: No. You treat with your own doctors. If insurance demands an IME (so-called “independent” medical exam), we prepare you and challenge biased reports. LuPe knows these doctors — he hired them.
Q: What if I didn’t go to the doctor right away?
A: Gaps in treatment hurt your case, but we can sometimes explain legitimate reasons. Always seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Q: Can I file a claim if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?
A: Yes. Passengers have claims against the driver’s insurance. We handle these regularly.
Q: What if my child was injured?
A: Minor claims require court approval in Texas. We navigate this process and ensure funds are protected until age 18.
Q: How do you calculate pain and suffering?
A: We use the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5-5+) + lost wages. LuPe knows how insurance calculates this and pushes for maximum multipliers.
Q: What if I have a pre-existing condition?
A: Texas’s “eggshell plaintiff” rule says you take your victim as you find them. If the accident worsened a pre-existing condition, you’re entitled to compensation for that worsening.
Q: What if the accident happened on the job?
A: You may have both a workers’ comp claim AND a personal injury claim against a third party. We’ll evaluate both.
Q: Can insurance spy on me?
A: Yes. They use surveillance, social media monitoring, even fake friend requests. We advise clients on how to protect themselves. LuPe reviewed surveillance videos for years — he knows their tactics.
Q: What makes Attorney911 different?
A: Former insurance defense attorney on YOUR side, 27+ years of results, BP explosion litigation experience, federal court admission, multi-million dollar settlements, Trae Tha Truth endorsement, and we take cases other lawyers reject.
Q: How do I get started?
A: Call 1-888-ATTY-911. It’s a legal emergency line, not a marketing gimmick. We’ll evaluate your case for free, with no obligation.
