The I-20 Crash Near Sweetwater: What Happened and What It Means for You You are reading this because something happened on Interstate 20 — maybe near Sweetwater, maybe farther west toward Midland, maybe east toward Abilene — and you need to know what comes next. A crash involving tractor-trailers on this stretch of West Texas highway is not a fender-bender. It is a life-altering event that brings medical bills, lost income, insurance adjusters who sound friendly and are not, and a clock that started ticking the moment the metal stopped moving. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happened on this road, what the law says about it, and what you need to do — starting with the things that are already disappearing. On December 22, 2018, a serious crash occurred on Interstate 20 near Sweetwater, in Nolan County, Texas. Two tractor-trailers and a pickup truck collided. The driver of the pickup sustained a bleeding head injury, cracked ribs, and a collapsed lung — a condition called tension pneumothorax that kills people who do not get relief within minutes. He was trapped inside his vehicle. An off-duty Army sergeant from Fort Bliss stopped at the scene, helped extract the injured man, wrapped a hoodie around his bleeding head, and then performed an emergency needle decompression — pushing a needle into the man’s chest to release the trapped air that was crushing his lung and compressing his heart. That intervention likely saved the man’s life. The injured…

When a Highway Takes Someone You Love in West Texas You are reading this because someone you love did not come home. Maybe your husband did not survive the wreck. Maybe your wife is in a hospital bed in Lubbock with broken ribs and a head injury, and the doctors say she will recover, but the word “recovery” feels like it belongs to a different universe from the one you are living in right now. Maybe you are sitting in a hospital waiting room, or at a kitchen table at 2 a.m., and you are starting to realize that the legal clock is already running even though the funeral has not happened yet and your loved one cannot have visitors. We know this moment. Not because we have read about it, but because we have sat across the table from families in it, here in Texas, for decades. The first thing we want you to know is this: the fact that you are looking for information right now, while everything is still raw, means you are already doing the right thing. The second thing is harder: the evidence that will determine what happened to your family is already disappearing. Not in two years, when the statute of limitations runs. In days. In weeks. The skid marks are already fading. The dashcam footage is already overwriting itself. The vehicle that carried your loved ones is sitting in a tow yard, and if it gets salvaged, the most important witness to the…

Fatal Pedestrian Accident on Odessa’s Loop 338: What Happened and What Your Family Can Do Your daughter was fifteen years old. She was walking on Loop 338 in Odessa on a Wednesday night in August, and a pickup truck traveling south on that same road struck her and killed her. The Odessa Police Department responded at 10:33 p.m. on August 7, 2024. She was pronounced deceased at the scene. Next of kin were notified. The investigation is ongoing. That is what the public record says, and that is where your family’s fight for the truth begins — not ends. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful death claims and pedestrian accident cases across Texas, and we are writing this page for one person: the parent, the grandparent, the sibling who is reading about Loop 338 at two in the morning, trying to understand what happened and what can still be done. Your daughter’s life mattered. Her death will be investigated — not just by the police, but by people who work for you, at your pace, on your terms. Here is the first thing you need to hear: the fact that your daughter was walking in the roadway does not end your family’s case. It changes the fight. Texas law does not let a driver off the hook because a pedestrian was in the road — the law requires the driver to see what is there to be seen, to control speed for conditions, and…

Midland dirt bike crash leaves 21-year-old dead – CBS7

Midland Dirt Bike Crash: Your Family’s Rights After a Fatal Stop-Sign Intersection Collision If you found this page, someone you love is gone. Maybe it was yesterday. Maybe it was hours ago and you are sitting in a kitchen in Midland at two in the morning, scrolling through your phone, trying to understand how a 21-year-old can be alive on Raymond Street one minute and gone the next. You are reading this because the police report says he was going fast, and the dirt bike was not street-legal, and you can already hear the insurance adjuster’s voice forming those words into a story that blames him. We need you to hear something before anything else: a stop sign is not a shield. The person who pulled out in front of him had a legal duty that did not disappear because the oncoming vehicle was small, or fast, or unfamiliar to them. That duty is where your family’s case begins, and this page is where you learn what it means, what it is worth, and what is already disappearing while you read. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death claims and catastrophic injury cases across Texas, and we wrote this page for one person: the family member of someone killed in a stop-sign intersection crash in Midland who needs to know, right now, whether anyone can be held accountable. This is legal information, not legal advice. Contacting us is free and confidential. And we do not…

The Highway 349/158 Overpass: Where Permian Basin Traffic Turns Deadly If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone you love was killed at the Highway 349/158 overpass near Midland, you already know more about this road than any lawyer could teach you. You know the sound of the phone call. You know the drive to the hospital, or the drive to the scene, or the wait for a name.

And the people who are about to call you, friendly and warm and concerned, are calling to make sure it disappears before anyone can use it. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death cases across Texas, and we write this page because the family of the person who died at this overpass deserves to know, in plain language, what the law gives them, what the evidence clock is doing right now, and what the insurance company is already doing to minimize what they will pay.

Deming I-10 Towing Rollover: Your Rights After a Fatal Towed-Vehicle Crash in New Mexico Three men from the El Paso area set out on a Saturday night, east on Interstate 10 through the high desert of southwestern New Mexico. One SUV was towing another. Both left the highway for reasons the state police have not yet explained. The towed Nissan rolled over. Three men who were not wearing seat belts were ejected and died at the scene. The driver of the towed vehicle was critically hurt and flown to a hospital. Four people in the towing vehicle went by ambulance. Alcohol was not a factor. If you are reading this page, you may be sitting at a kitchen table in El Paso or Anthony, Texas, or somewhere in Luna County, New Mexico, at an hour when the house is quiet and the questions will not stop. Why did both vehicles leave the road? Was the towing setup safe to begin with? And the question the insurance adjuster is already counting on you to ask yourself: were the seat belts the reason your loved one died, and does that mean you have no case? We are the Manginello Law Firm — Attorney911. We handle wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases in New Mexico, and we wrote this page so that, at two in the morning, you can find the truth about what New Mexico law actually says — not what the insurance company wants you to believe it says.

Three Teenagers, One Crash, and a Family That Needs Answers If you are reading this page, you already know what happened on Farm to Market Road 1053 south of Texas Highway 329 on the evening of November 20, 2024. You know that a 2012 Jeep Wrangler traveling north and a 2024 GMC Sierra traveling south collided head-on in Crane County. You know the Jeep became fully engulfed in flames.

You know the driver of the GMC was airlifted to a hospital and later died. And you know that the Texas Department of Public Safety is still investigating and has not yet said which vehicle crossed the centerline.

The Air Your Family Breathes in Ector County — and What the Law Says About It You live in Odessa, or outside the city limits in Ector County, and you have been breathing the air in the heart of the Permian Basin oil boom. Maybe your child’s asthma has gotten worse and you cannot figure out why. Maybe you wake up with a sore throat and a headache more mornings than not. Maybe you smell the rotten-egg odor that drifts off the well pads when the wind shifts, and you have wondered whether the flares you can see burning on the horizon at night are doing something to your family. A published environmental report used the same air-dispersion modeling that regulators use and found that approximately 35 percent of Ector County exceeded the federal health standard for sulfur dioxide between 2014 and 2017. The study identified Occidental Permian as the top emitter in the region, with 74 facilities releasing 10.6 million pounds of sulfur dioxide across 500 unauthorized incidents in a single year. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC, and this page is written for the one person reading it at 2 a.m. who is trying to understand whether the air pollution documented across the Permian Basin is connected to what is happening to their body or their family. We handle toxic tort cases across Texas, and everything that follows is the education, the governing law, the evidence clocks, and the honest evaluation of what a case…

Odessa Sulfur Dioxide Exposure: Your Legal Rights When the Air Itself Is the Injury You live in Odessa, and there is something in the air your family has been breathing. Maybe you have felt it before you ever read about it — the cough that started and never left, the child whose inhaler refills kept getting closer together, the parent whose breathing seemed to get worse every year the pumpjacks multiplied across the horizon. You may have wondered whether the air itself was the reason. A third-party environmental analysis has now put numbers to what you suspected: in 2017 alone, oil and gas companies illegally discharged 5.3 million pounds of sulfur dioxide into the air of Ector County — every pound of it in violation of the federal pollution permits those companies hold. The analysis found that roughly 35 percent of Ector County experienced sulfur dioxide levels above the federal health standard. And the state agency charged with protecting that air has installed exactly one sulfur dioxide monitor for the entire 75,000-square-mile Permian Basin. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic tort and environmental exposure cases in Texas. This page is not a sales pitch. It is a complete explanation of what happened to the air in your community, what the law says about it, what the companies responsible will try to do to avoid accountability, and what you can do — starting today — to protect your family. Everything here is free to read. The…
