Two Dead, One Seriously Injured in a South Midland Two-Vehicle Collision — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now If you are reading this at two in the morning, you are probably sitting at a table where a chair is already empty. Someone you love was killed on a south Midland road, or someone you love is lying in a hospital bed with injuries that have not finished declaring themselves. Maybe both. Two families in this community are grieving tonight, and a third is facing a recovery that has barely begun. You are in shock. You are exhausted. And somewhere in the last forty-eight hours, a voice on the phone — friendly, concerned, telling you they just want to help — has already started building a case against you. That voice works for the insurance company. It is not your friend. And the clock that decides whether your family can hold the person who did this accountable is already running. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are car accident lawyers who take catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in Texas, and we are writing this for one person: you, in this moment, trying to understand what just happened to your family and what to do about it. This page is not a sales pitch. It is the truth about the law, the evidence, the money, and the fight ahead — from people who have been in this fight for a combined forty years and who…

Several Employees Killed in Midland Workplace Shooting at North County Road 1140 and Highway 80: Wrongful Death and Negligent Security Claims — Attorney911 Brings Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice to the Permian Basin, We Pursue the Property Owners and Employers Who Failed to Protect Oilfield Workers From Foreseeable Violence at Remote Sites Where Limited Lighting and Extended Law-Enforcement Response Times Make Security Adequacy the Central Question, Texas Non-Subscriber Employers Who Opted Out of Workers’ Compensation Lose Their Common-Law Defenses in Direct Negligence Suits, We Move to Preserve the CCTV Footage Before the 30-Day Overwrite, the Access-Control Logs and Prior Incident Reports That Establish Foreseeability, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

What Happened at North County Road 1140 and Highway 80 — and What It Means for Your Family You are reading this because someone you love went to work in Midland and did not come home. The headline says several people are dead after a shooting at or near the intersection of North County Road 1140 and Highway 80, and the reporting indicates that employees were among those killed. You may be standing in a hospital hallway, sitting at a kitchen table at 3 a.m., or staring at a phone that keeps ringing with people who say they are sorry. We are sorry too. And we are going to tell you the truth about what comes next — not to sell you anything, but because the decisions made in the first weeks after a workplace death are the decisions that determine whether a family gets answers or gets silence. Here is the first thing you need to hear: a criminal prosecution — if one happens — is not your case. The district attorney’s office prosecutes the shooter. That case is about punishment under the criminal law. It does not pay your family’s bills. It does not replace the income your loved one earned. It does not answer the civil question that matters most: did the employer or the property owner fail to take reasonable steps to protect these employees from a danger they should have seen coming? That question — the civil question — is a completely separate fight. It…

Midland Shooting Deaths at CR 1140 & Highway 80: Legal Rights of Victims’ Families Three people are dead after a shooting in the area of North County Road 1140 and East Highway 80 in Midland. If your family is one of the three — or you are reading this because someone you love was there — you are not on this page by accident.

We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a Texas trial firm that handles catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, and we are writing this page for one reason: so that the families searching for answers at two in the morning find something more than a news headline and a dead end.

Midland County Shooting: Three Dead on East Highway 80 — Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Fatal Shooting in Texas If you are reading this page, someone you love may be one of the three people found with gunshot wounds on the 5400 block of East Highway 80 in Midland County. You may have gotten a call from a detective. You may still be waiting for formal identification. You may be sitting in a dark kitchen at two in the morning, scrolling through everything you can find, trying to understand what just happened to your family — and what happens next. We are going to tell you exactly what we would tell you if you were sitting across the table from us right now. No fluff, no sales pitch, no legal jargon you can’t use. The law gives your family real rights after a shooting death in Texas. Some of those rights come with deadlines measured in days, not years. Some of the proof that could determine whether those rights are worth anything is disappearing right now, while you read this. And the difference between a family that acts in the first week and a family that waits is often the difference between a case that gets built and a case that evaporates. This is what you need to know. All of it. What Happened on East Highway 80 On Monday morning, deputies from the Midland County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of gunfire at the 5400 block of East…

Gainesville Midland Greenway Shooting: Your Legal Rights After a Deadly Fourth of July Shooting If your family is reading this page, you are probably sitting in a kitchen or a hospital waiting room in Hall County, trying to understand how a night of fireworks and celebration turned into a homicide investigation. You heard the shots — or you got the phone call — and now you are being told to wait while the police investigate. We want you to know something before you read another word: the criminal investigation and your family’s civil case are two separate fights, and the second one has deadlines that will not wait for the first to finish. The evidence that decides your case is already disappearing. The people who organized and secured that event are already talking to their own lawyers. And the window to hold them accountable in civil court — not just the shooter, but the entities that failed to keep the crowd safe — is already running. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle negligent-security and wrongful-death cases in Georgia and across the country. We are writing this page for one person: the family member of someone killed or hurt at the Midland Greenway on July 4, 2026, who needs to know — right now, at this hour — what the law allows, what the evidence demands, and what the other side is already doing while you grieve.

Gaines County U.S. 385 Rollover Crash: What Happened and What Your Family Can Do If you are reading this because someone you love was in that Dodge Ram on U.S. 385 on July 2, 2026, we want you to hear something before anything else: your first priority is the child at University Medical Center in Lubbock and the people around you who are hurting. The legal work can happen in parallel, quietly, without adding to what you are already carrying. You do not have to understand any of this tonight. You just need to know that the clock on evidence has already started, and that there are people who can freeze it for you while you grieve. A 30-year-old woman from Ropesville lost her life on a stretch of U.S. Highway 385 near mile marker 260 in Gaines County, Texas. A 13-year-old girl was flown or driven roughly 80 to 90 miles north to the nearest Level I trauma center in Lubbock with serious injuries. Three other children — ages 11, 12, and 7 — were inside the same vehicle. The Texas Department of Public Safety is still investigating why the Dodge left its lane and collided with a Toyota Tacoma before rolling over. We are going to walk you through what the law says your family can do, what evidence is already disappearing, what the insurance company is already doing, and what this kind of case is worth — honestly, with no sugarcoating.

What Happened on South Service Road — and Why It Was Not an “Accident” If you are reading this page, you already know the outline of what happened. Late on the night of May 2, a 2025 Nissan Versa was traveling east on the south side of Midland, near the intersection of South Service Road and Cotton Flat Road. According to the Midland Police Department affidavit, the driver did not stop at a stop sign. The vehicle continued through the intersection at a high rate of speed, struck a curb, became airborne over a drainage retention pond, and rolled over. The passenger — 32 years old — suffered serious injuries and was taken to Midland Memorial Hospital, where he fought for fifteen days before dying on May 17. Texas Department of Public Safety toxicology results later confirmed the driver’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.143 — nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08. She has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. We are Attorney911. We are writing to you — the family, the parent, the spouse, the friend who is sitting at a kitchen table in Midland or Odessa or anywhere across the Permian Basin, trying to understand what comes next. Here is the first thing you need to hear: this was not an accident. In the law, “accident” means something unforeseeable. A person who chooses to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.143 — who runs a stop sign at high speed and launches a vehicle over a drainage pond…

A Two-Year-Old Girl Died on Andrews Highway. Here Is What the Law Says, and What Has to Happen Now. On July 10, 2026, a crash at the intersection of Andrews Highway and 100th Street in north Odessa left a two-year-old girl with injuries so serious she was flown by helicopter to UMC Children’s Hospital in Lubbock — roughly two hours north by ground, a distance that tells you the local hospitals could not treat what happened to her. Three days later, on July 13, she died. Her family made the decision to donate her organs. The Odessa Police Department investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not yet released details about what caused the crash or which vehicle she was in. A 68-year-old person also involved was treated at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa with injuries that were not life-threatening. The community has spoken publicly about that intersection — a multi-lane highway controlled by nothing more than a stop sign despite the residential developments that have multiplied around it and the crashes that have accumulated there for years. We are writing this for one person: someone in Odessa, or Midland, or anywhere in Ector County, who lost a child or a loved one on a road they warned people about, and who is sitting at a kitchen table at an hour when nobody should be awake, trying to understand what their rights are and whether anyone will ever answer for what happened. We are going to tell you everything we know…

‘Forever 12’: Boy dies from injuries in Midland crash following high-speed pursuit – CBS7

Midland, Texas High-Speed Pursuit Crash: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Child’s Wrongful Death If you are reading this page, someone you love was taken from you in Midland — a child, a brother, a son — and the grief is still so raw that the idea of calling a lawyer feels like a betrayal of the mourning you need to do. We understand that. We also know that the evidence proving what happened to your family is disappearing right now, on a clock measured in days, not months. The dashcam footage of the pursuit, the dispatch recordings, the black-box data from the vehicles — these records are legally allowed to be erased while you are still making funeral arrangements. That is the single most urgent truth on this page, and everything else we are about to tell you exists to protect your ability to seek accountability before that proof is gone. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are writing to you as the senior trial attorneys who handle Texas wrongful death and catastrophic-injury cases, including cases arising from high-speed pursuits and felony-evading crashes. We are not your lawyers yet, and nothing on this page is legal advice for your specific situation. This is legal information — the governing law, the evidence clocks, the honest case-value reality, and the playbook the other side is already running — so that when you are ready, you call from a position of knowledge, not fear. The call is free. The…

Midland, Texas West Wall Street Mass Shooting — Legal Rights of Victims and Families If you are reading this from the cafeteria at Midland Memorial Hospital, where they set up the family reunification area, or from a kitchen table at two in the morning while someone you love is in surgery — we are talking to you. Not to the internet. To you. One person you know is gone. Eleven more are hurt, some of them badly, and the Emergency Department is still locked down. The suspect is dead. The police have the building. And the thing you may not know, in the fog of this moment, is that the evidence of what went wrong inside that building on West Wall Street is already starting to disappear. The cameras inside that industrial facility record over themselves on a cycle that can be as short as seven days. The access-control logs — the badge swipes and key-card records that show how the shooter got in — sit on a server that can be purged on a routine IT schedule. The police body-worn camera footage, the 911 call recordings, the witness cell-phone videos that people took while the shooting was happening — each of those has its own retention clock, and every one of them is shorter than you think. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are a Texas trial firm, and the first thing we do in a case like this, the day you call, is send the…
