When an 80,000-pound tractor-trailer crashes into a passenger vehicle on Route 13 in Somerset County, the physics alone determine the outcome. Your sedan weighs roughly 3,500 pounds. The truck weighs up to twenty times that. At highway speeds, this isn’t a collision—it’s annihilation. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an 18-wheeler accident anywhere in Somerset County, Maryland, you need to understand something critical: the trucking company already has lawyers working to protect their interests. The question is—do you have someone fighting for yours? At Attorney911, we’ve spent over 25 years taking on commercial trucking companies and winning. Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, has been admitted to federal court since 1998 and has recovered multi-million dollar settlements for families devastated by catastrophic trucking accidents. Our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years working inside the system—now he uses that insider knowledge to fight against the very tactics he once employed. We’ve handled cases involving Fortune 500 companies, navigated the complexities of federal trucking law, and secured seven-figure recoveries for clients who other firms turned away. Somerset County sits on Maryland’s lower Eastern Shore, serving as a critical corridor between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic. Route 13—the Ocean Gateway—runs straight through Princess Anne and Crisfield, carrying a constant flow of commercial traffic. Seafood haulers rush fresh catches from the Port of Crisfield to distribution centers. Agricultural trucks transport soybeans and corn from the county’s farmlands. Tanker trucks service the region’s energy…

These organizations have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries across the country. Pennsylvania universities have failed to protect students from dangerous hazing traditions that lead to hospitalizations, permanent injuries, and deaths.
