At Attorney911, we understand the physical pain, emotional distress, and financial stress you’re experiencing. Our team of experienced Hollywood Park car accident lawyers is here to fight for the compensation you deserve while you focus on your recovery.

Why Hollywood Park Accident Victims Choose Attorney911

Hollywood Park, nestled in Bexar County just north of San Antonio, is a growing community with unique traffic challenges. From the busy thoroughfares of Loop 1604 to the residential streets where families walk and children play, accidents can happen anywhere. When they do, you need a legal team that knows Hollywood Park, understands Texas law, and has the experience to take on insurance companies.

Ralph Manginello, our founding attorney with over 25 years of experience, leads our firm with a commitment to personalized service and aggressive representation. Our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how insurance companies evaluate claims—because he used to calculate them himself. This insider knowledge gives our clients a significant advantage in negotiations and litigation.

Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Hollywood Park

Hollywood Park’s location near major highways and its mix of residential and commercial areas create diverse accident risks. Our Hollywood Park accident attorneys handle all types of motor vehicle cases, including:

Car Accidents (Our Most Common Case Type)

With over 251,977 people injured in Texas car crashes annually, these accidents are unfortunately common in Hollywood Park. Whether you were rear-ended on Wetmore Road, involved in a T-bone collision at the intersection of Perrin-Beitel and Thousand Oaks, or sideswiped on Loop 1604, our team can help.

Common causes of car accidents in Hollywood Park include:

• Distracted driving (especially near shopping centers and schools)
• Speeding on residential streets and highways
• Failure to yield at intersections
• Drunk or impaired driving
• Weather-related accidents during Texas storms

In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. During treatment, staff infections developed, leading to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions—not the $50,000 the insurance company initially offered.

18-Wheeler and Truck Accidents

Texas leads the nation in fatal truck crashes, with 608 trucking fatalities and 1,601 serious injuries in 2024 alone. Hollywood Park’s proximity to I-35 and Loop 1604 puts residents at risk for catastrophic truck accidents.

Our firm has recovered millions for victims of trucking-related wrongful death cases. We understand the complex regulations governing the trucking industry, including:

• Hours of Service (HOS) rules limiting driving time
• Electronic Logging Device (ELD) requirements
• Drug and alcohol testing protocols
• Vehicle maintenance standards

When a trucking company’s negligence causes an accident, we hold them accountable. In one case, we recovered a significant settlement for a client who suffered a back injury while lifting cargo on a ship—proving the employer should have provided assistance.

Drunk Driving Accidents

With 1,053 alcohol-impaired driving deaths in Texas annually, drunk driving remains a serious problem. In Hollywood Park, where local restaurants and bars serve alcohol, dram shop liability can come into play.

Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02 allows victims to sue establishments that serve obviously intoxicated patrons. Signs of obvious intoxication include:

• Slurred speech
• Bloodshot or glassy eyes
• Unsteady gait or stumbling
• Strong odor of alcohol
• Aggressive or erratic behavior

Our firm’s experience with both civil and criminal cases (including three DWI dismissals we’ve achieved) gives us unique insight into these complex cases.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks on Hollywood Park roads. With 585 motorcyclist fatalities in Texas in 2024, these accidents often result in severe injuries. Our team understands the challenges riders face, including:

• Bias against motorcyclists in liability determinations
• The 51% comparative fault rule that can bar recovery
• Common causes like failure to yield and unsafe lane changes

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

Hollywood Park’s residential neighborhoods and growing commercial areas put pedestrians and cyclists at risk. With 768 pedestrian fatalities in Texas annually, these accidents often result in catastrophic injuries.

Under Texas law, pedestrians always have the right-of-way at intersections—even unmarked crosswalks. Many drivers don’t know this, and insurance companies won’t tell you.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

Rideshare accidents present unique insurance challenges. The coverage available depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident:

Driver Status	Coverage Available
App off (personal use)	Personal insurance only ($30K/$60K/$25K)
App on, waiting for ride	$50K/$100K/$25K contingent coverage
Ride accepted, en route	$1,000,000 commercial coverage
Passenger in vehicle	$1,000,000 commercial coverage

Our team knows how to navigate this complex insurance landscape to maximize your recovery.

Hit and Run Accidents

When the at-fault driver flees the scene, your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can provide compensation. We’ve helped numerous Hollywood Park clients recover through UM/UIM claims after hit and run accidents.

Work Zone Accidents

With ongoing construction in and around Hollywood Park, work zone accidents are a growing concern. Nearly 28,000 crashes occurred in Texas work zones in 2024, resulting in 215 deaths—a 12% increase from the previous year.

What to Do After an Accident in Hollywood Park

If you’ve been injured in an accident in Hollywood Park, follow these steps to protect your rights:

Immediate Actions (First 48 Hours)

1. Call 911 and report the accident
2. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine (adrenaline masks injuries)
3. Document everything with photos of damage, injuries, and the scene
4. Exchange information with the other driver
5. Get witness contact information
6. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to any insurance company

Evidence Preservation (Critical in First Week)

• Preserve all digital evidence (texts, photos, videos)
• Secure physical evidence (damaged clothing, personal items)
• Keep all medical records and receipts
• Do NOT give recorded statements to insurance adjusters
• Do NOT sign anything without attorney review
• Do NOT post on social media (insurance companies monitor your accounts)

Why Timing Matters

Evidence disappears quickly:

• 7-30 days: Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is typically deleted
• 30-180 days: Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data from trucks can be overwritten
• Months: Witness memories fade and become less reliable

Every day you wait, evidence becomes harder to obtain. Call Attorney911 immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911 to preserve critical evidence.

Texas Motor Vehicle Accident Laws You Need to Know

Statute of Limitations

You have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas (Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003). This deadline is absolute—miss it, and you lose your right to compensation forever.

Comparative Negligence (51% Rule)

Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system. If you’re found to be 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Insurance companies often try to assign maximum fault to victims. Our team knows their tactics because Lupe Peña used them for years as an insurance defense attorney—now he uses that knowledge to fight for you.

Minimum Insurance Requirements

Texas requires minimum coverage of:

• $30,000 per person for bodily injury
• $60,000 per accident for bodily injury
• $25,000 for property damage

However, these minimums are often insufficient to cover serious injuries. We explore all available insurance policies to maximize your recovery.

Proving Liability in Your Hollywood Park Accident Case

To win your case, we must prove four elements of negligence:

1. Duty of Care: The other driver had a legal obligation to operate their vehicle safely
2. Breach of Duty: They violated that duty through negligent actions
3. Causation: Their breach directly caused your injuries
4. Damages: You suffered actual harm (physical, financial, emotional)

Our team gathers evidence to prove each element, including:

• Police accident reports
• Witness statements
• Surveillance footage
• Medical records
• Expert testimony
• Electronic data (black boxes, ELD records)
• Accident reconstruction analysis

Types of Compensation Available

Hollywood Park accident victims may be entitled to various types of compensation:

Economic Damages (No Cap in Texas)

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket expenses

Non-Economic Damages (No Cap Except Medical Malpractice)

• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Physical impairment
• Disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium

Punitive Damages (Capped)

Available in cases of gross negligence or malice, such as drunk driving accidents. Capped at the greater of $200,000 or 2x economic damages plus 1x non-economic damages (up to $750,000 for non-economic portion).

How Insurance Companies Try to Minimize Your Claim

Insurance companies use sophisticated tactics to reduce or deny claims. Having a former insurance defense attorney on our team gives us a significant advantage:

1. Quick Settlement Offers

Within days of your accident, insurance companies may offer quick cash—often $2,000-$5,000. These offers are always lowball and designed to get you to sign away your rights before you know the full extent of your injuries.

2. Recorded Statements

Adjusters will ask for a “friendly chat” to get your side of the story. Everything you say will be recorded, transcribed, and used against you. We never let our clients give recorded statements without preparation.

3. “Independent” Medical Exams (IMEs)

Insurance companies hire doctors to perform quick exams and minimize your injuries. These doctors are paid thousands per exam and consistently find “no injury” or “pre-existing condition.”

Lupe Peña knows this system from the inside: “I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos and social media posts as a 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.”

4. Surveillance Tactics

Insurance companies hire private investigators to follow accident victims, looking for any activity that contradicts injury claims. They monitor your social media accounts, looking for photos or posts that can be taken out of context.

5. Delay and Deny Tactics

Insurance companies drag out claims, hoping you’ll become desperate and accept a low offer. They ignore calls, “lose” documents, and claim they’re still investigating.

6. Comparative Fault Arguments

They’ll claim you were partially at fault to reduce their payment. Even small fault percentages can cost you thousands:

• 10% fault on a $100,000 case = $10,000 less for you
• 25% fault on a $250,000 case = $62,500 less for you
• 40% fault on a $500,000 case = $200,000 less for you

Common Injuries in Hollywood Park Accident Cases

Accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor to catastrophic:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

• Symptoms may appear immediately or days later
• Can result in permanent cognitive impairment
• Often requires extensive rehabilitation

Spinal Cord Injuries

• Can lead to partial or complete paralysis
• Requires lifelong medical care
• Significant impact on quality of life

Herniated Discs

• Often requires surgery and extensive physical therapy
• Can result in permanent work restrictions
• May prevent return to physical labor jobs

Broken Bones

• Simple fractures may heal in weeks
• Complex fractures may require surgery
• Can result in permanent impairment

Soft Tissue Injuries

• Whiplash and sprains may seem minor but can cause chronic pain
• Insurance companies often undervalue these injuries
• Proper documentation is critical

Psychological Injuries

• PTSD, anxiety, and depression are common after accidents
• Compensable as mental anguish damages
• Requires proper medical documentation

Why Hollywood Park Residents Trust Attorney911

• Multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury with vision loss

Frequently Asked Questions About Hollywood Park Accident Cases

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Hollywood Park?

If you’ve been in an accident in Hollywood Park:

1. Call 911 and report the accident
2. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine
3. Document everything with photos
4. Exchange information with the other driver
5. Get witness contact information
6. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 before speaking to any insurance company

Should I call the police even for a minor accident?

Yes. Always call police. The police report is critical evidence. In Texas, you must report accidents with injuries, deaths, or property damage over $1,000.

Should I seek medical attention if I don’t feel hurt?

Absolutely. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately:

• Traumatic brain injuries can take days to manifest
• Internal bleeding may not be obvious
• Herniated discs may not cause pain for weeks
• Adrenaline masks pain at the scene

Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you. Get checked immediately.

What information should I collect at the scene?

• Other driver: name, phone, address, driver’s license, insurance
• Vehicle: make, model, color, license plate
• Witnesses: names and phone numbers
• Photos: all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals
• Police: officer name, badge number, report number

Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?

• Exchange information only
• Do NOT discuss fault
• Do NOT apologize or say “I’m sorry” (can be used as admission)
• Do NOT give your opinion on what happened
• Stick to facts only

How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?

In Hollywood Park, you can obtain the police report from the responding agency or through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS).

Should I give a recorded statement to insurance?

To the other driver’s insurance: NO. Not without an attorney.
To your own insurance: You have a duty to cooperate, but call Attorney911 first. We can advise you.

What if the other driver’s insurance contacts me?

Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.” Give only basic information (name, date of accident). Do NOT give recorded statement. Do NOT discuss injuries or fault.

Do I have to accept the insurance company’s estimate?

No. Their estimate is just an offer. It’s usually far below actual value. Attorney911 fights for what your case is really worth.

Should I accept a quick settlement offer?

NEVER accept settlement before knowing full extent of injuries. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money even if you need surgery later.

What if the other driver is uninsured/underinsured?

Your own UM/UIM coverage can compensate you. Watch our video on Uninsured & Underinsured Motorists at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8.

Why does insurance want me to sign a medical authorization?

They want unlimited access to your ENTIRE medical history to find pre-existing conditions to use against you. Never sign without attorney review.

Do I have a personal injury case?

You may have a case if:

• Someone else was at fault (even partially)
• You suffered injuries or damages
• There is insurance to recover from

Watch our video “Do I Have a Good Case?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-PMMP5Jims.

When should I hire a car accident lawyer?

Immediately. Evidence disappears daily. Insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. Call Attorney911: 1-888-ATTY-911.

How much time do I have to file (statute of limitations)?

In Texas: 2 years from date of accident for personal injury, 2 years from date of death for wrongful death. Miss it = case barred forever.

What is comparative negligence and how does it affect me?

Texas uses the 51% bar rule. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover (reduced by your fault %). If 51%+ at fault, you get nothing.

Watch our video “What Is Comparative Negligence?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzHKY_v9l4.

What happens if I was partially at fault?

You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial. But Attorney911 prepares every case AS IF it’s going to trial. That’s what gives us leverage.

Watch our video “Will Your Case Go to Trial?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed5AnmCMcc.

How long will my case take to settle?

Depends on injury severity. We don’t settle until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI). Could be 6 months for minor injuries, 18-24 months for serious injuries.

What is the legal process step-by-step?

1. Investigation and evidence gathering
2. Medical treatment to MMI
3. Demand letter to insurance
4. Negotiation
5. Lawsuit if necessary
6. Discovery
7. Mediation
8. Trial if needed

Watch our video “What Is the Process for a Personal Injury Claim?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwzYymneDVs.

What is my case worth?

Depends on: injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, permanent impairment, pain and suffering, insurance available. Cases range from $15,000 (soft tissue) to millions (catastrophic injury).

What types of damages can I recover?

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Physical impairment
• Disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage

Can I get compensation for pain and suffering?

Yes. Pain and suffering is a significant component of personal injury cases in Texas. There is NO CAP on pain and suffering (except medical malpractice).

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is called the “eggshell plaintiff” rule.

Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current lawyer?

YES. You can fire your attorney at any time. If your attorney isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pushing you to settle cheap, you have the right to switch. Attorney911 has taken over many cases from other attorneys.

As 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 if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claims are against YOUR insurance when the other driver has no insurance or insufficient insurance. Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would. You need attorney representation.

How do you calculate pain and suffering?

Most commonly using the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain & suffering. Multiplier depends on injury severity, permanency, impact on life, clear liability.

Lupe Peña calculated these for years—he knows how to justify higher multipliers.

What if I was hit by a government vehicle (city bus, police car, etc.)?

Government claims have special rules. You must file notice within 6 months (much shorter than 2-year statute of limitations). Sovereign immunity protects government entities. Damage caps may apply. These cases are complex—you need experienced counsel.

What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?

File a police report immediately (hit and run is a criminal offense). Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies. Surveillance footage is CRITICAL—most footage is deleted 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately.

What if I’m an undocumented immigrant—can I still file a claim?

YES. Immigration status does NOT affect your right to compensation for injuries. You’re entitled to full recovery regardless of immigration status. Your case is confidential. We’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe is fluent in Spanish.

What if the accident happened in a parking lot?

Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often argue “parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault,” but this is a lie. We prove fault through surveillance video, witness statements, damage analysis, and traffic patterns.

What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?

You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them (friend, family member, Uber driver). You’re an innocent victim. The driver’s insurance covers passengers. No comparative fault issues (you weren’t driving). These cases often settle quickly because liability is clear.

What if the other driver died in the accident?

You can still pursue a claim against the deceased driver’s estate and insurance. Death doesn’t eliminate liability. The insurance policy still applies. The estate may have assets. Wrongful death laws protect both sides.

How much do car accident lawyers cost?

Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis: 33.33% before trial, 40% if trial. You pay nothing upfront. We don’t get paid unless we win.

Watch our video “How Do Contingency Fees Work?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upcI_j6F7Nc.

What does “no fee unless we win” mean?

You pay zero unless we recover money for you. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. We advance all case costs.

How often will I get updates?

Attorney911 provides regular updates. As client Dame Haskett said: “Consistent communication and not one time did i call and not get a clear answer.”

Who will actually handle my case?

At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, not just paralegals. As Chad Harris said: “You are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”

What if I already hired another attorney?

You can switch. As client 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 common mistakes can hurt my case?

• Giving recorded statement without attorney
• Accepting quick settlement
• Delaying medical treatment
• Gaps in treatment
• Posting on social media
• Signing releases or authorizations
• Not documenting everything

Watch our video “Client Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Case” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3IYsoxOSxY.

Should I post about my accident on social media?

NO. Make all profiles private. Don’t post about the accident, injuries, or activities. Insurance monitors everything.

Why shouldn’t I sign anything without a lawyer?

Releases are PERMANENT. Medical authorizations give unlimited access. Settlement offers are binding. Once signed, you can’t undo it.

What if I didn’t see a doctor right away?

See one NOW. Explain you didn’t realize the severity of your injuries. Delayed symptoms are common. We can still help.

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover. If the accident AGGRAVATED your pre-existing condition, you’re entitled to compensation for the aggravation. The “eggshell plaintiff” rule means the defendant takes you as they find you.

For example: You had mild occasional back pain. The accident caused a herniated disc requiring surgery. You recover for the NEW injury, not just the pre-existing pain. We hire medical experts to prove the difference.

Lupe Peña knows how insurance companies attack pre-existing conditions—he used this defense for years.

Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current lawyer?

Yes. You have the right to change attorneys at any time. If your current lawyer isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pressuring you to accept a low settlement, you can switch to Attorney911.

We’ve taken over many cases from other attorneys. As client Donald Wilcox shared: “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.”

What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?

When you file an Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) claim, you’re filing against your own insurance policy because the at-fault driver either has no insurance or insufficient coverage. Even though it’s your own insurance, they will treat your claim just like they would if you were filing against another driver’s insurance—they’ll try to minimize or deny your claim.

This is where Lupe Peña’s experience is invaluable. He understands how insurance companies evaluate UM/UIM claims from his years working for them. We know how to navigate this complex process and fight for the full compensation you’re entitled to under your policy.

How do you calculate pain and suffering?

Insurance companies typically use the multiplier method to calculate pain and suffering: Medical expenses × multiplier = pain and suffering.

The multiplier ranges from 1.5 to 5, depending on:

• Severity of injuries
• Permanency of injuries
• Impact on daily life
• Clear liability
• Sympathetic plaintiff
• Egregious defendant conduct

For example:

• $10,000 medical bills × 1.5 multiplier = $15,000 pain and suffering (minor injury)
• $100,000 medical bills × 4 multiplier = $400,000 pain and suffering (severe injury)

Lupe Peña knows how insurance companies manipulate these calculations—he used to do it himself. We fight for the highest possible multiplier based on the specifics of your case.

What if I was hit by a government vehicle (city bus, police car, etc.)?

Accidents involving government vehicles have special legal requirements. In Texas, you must file a notice of claim within 6 months of the accident—much shorter than the 2-year statute of limitations for most personal injury cases.

Government entities also have sovereign immunity protections, which can limit liability. However, there are exceptions, and damage caps may apply.

These cases require specialized knowledge. Ralph Manginello’s federal court experience and our firm’s involvement in complex litigation (including the BP explosion case) demonstrate our ability to handle these challenging cases.

What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?

Hit and run accidents present unique challenges, but you still have options. In Texas:

1. File a police report immediately (hit and run is a criminal offense)
2. Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage can compensate you
3. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is critical (but typically deleted within 7-30 days)

We send preservation letters immediately to secure evidence before it’s lost. Texas allows stacking of UM policies, which can significantly increase your available coverage.

What if I’m an undocumented immigrant—can I still file a claim?

Yes. Your immigration status does NOT affect your right to compensation for injuries. You’re entitled to the same legal protections as any other accident victim in Texas.

We’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Your case is confidential, and we never share your status with anyone. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish, and our staff includes bilingual team members like Zulema to ensure clear communication.

What if the accident happened in a parking lot?

Parking lot accidents are fully compensable under Texas law. Insurance companies often try to argue that parking lot accidents are automatically 50/50 fault, but this is not true.

We prove fault through:

• Surveillance video (if available)
• Witness statements
• Damage analysis
• Traffic patterns
• Right-of-way rules

Texas comparative negligence rules apply in parking lot accidents just like any other accident.

What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?

If you were a passenger in the vehicle that caused the accident, you can still pursue a claim against the driver. As a passenger, you’re considered an innocent victim, and the driver’s insurance should cover your injuries.

These cases often settle quickly because liability is clear—you weren’t driving, so comparative negligence issues don’t apply to you. We handle the difficult conversations with friends or family members who may have been driving.

What if the other driver died in the accident?

The death of the at-fault driver doesn’t eliminate your right to compensation. You can still pursue a claim against:

1. The deceased driver’s insurance policy
2. The deceased driver’s estate (if there are assets)
3. Your own UM/UIM coverage (if applicable)

Wrongful death laws protect both the deceased’s family and other victims. These cases can be emotionally complex, but we handle them with sensitivity while protecting your legal rights.

What if my child was injured in an accident?

Children have the same rights to compensation as adults, but there are special considerations:

• Statute of limitations is tolled until the child turns 18
• Parents may need to file claims on the child’s behalf
• Settlements for minors require court approval
• Special rules apply to school bus accidents

We have experience handling cases involving child injuries and can guide you through this complex process.
