18-Wheeler Accident Lawyers in Republic County, Kansas

When 80,000 Pounds Changes Everything

The impact was catastrophic. One moment you’re driving through Republic County on US-81, heading toward Belleville. The next, an 80,000-pound grain truck barrels through a stop sign, or a fatigued long-haul driver loses control on I-70 near your exit. In an instant, your life changes forever.

We don’t have to tell you how dangerous Kansas highways can be. When agricultural combines share the road with interstate commerce, when spring storms turn US-36 into a gauntlet of high winds and hydroplaning risks, and when trucking companies prioritize their profits over your safety, innocent people pay the price.

At Attorney911, we’ve spent over 25 years fighting for truck accident victims across the Midwest. Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, has recovered multi-million dollar settlements for families devastated by commercial trucking negligence. Our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who used to work for the very companies now trying to minimize your claim. He knows their playbook. Now he fights for you.

If you’ve been hurt in an 18-wheeler accident anywhere in Republic County—whether near the Nebraska border or down by the Kansas River—you need someone who understands both federal trucking regulations and the unique challenges of rural Kansas roads. You need someone who moves fast, before black box data disappears and trucking companies destroy evidence.

Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now. We’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We answer every call personally, and we never charge a fee unless we win your case.

Why Republic County 18-Wheeler Accidents Are Different

The Rural Kansas Factor

Republic County sits at the crossroads of America’s agricultural heartland. While major metro areas deal with congestion and urban delivery trucks, we face different dangers entirely. Our highways carry massive loads of wheat, corn, and soybeans from farm to market. During harvest season, the volume of truck traffic spikes dramatically, and deadlines get tighter.

I-70, the primary east-west corridor slicing across Kansas, sees thousands of commercial trucks daily. I-135 runs north-south nearby, serving as a vital route between Wichita and Nebraska. US-81 and US-36 cut through the county itself, carrying everything from livestock haulers to oil field equipment. These aren’t just roads—they’re freight arteries where 80,000-pound vehicles mix with local traffic at 75 miles per hour.

The statistics are sobering. While Kansas maintains strong agricultural traditions, our rural highways see disproportionate numbers of fatigue-related crashes and cargo-related accidents. When a grain trailer rolls over on a tight curve, or a semi jackknifes on an icy bridge deck, there’s nowhere to hide. Rural emergency response times can be longer, and local hospitals may not have the trauma capabilities needed for catastrophic injuries.

Agricultural Trucking Realities

Kansas is the nation’s “Breadbasket,” and Republic County contributes significantly to that output. This means you share the road with:

  • Grain haulers racing to elevators before closing time
  • Farm equipment extending into traffic lanes
  • Overloaded trucks during harvest rush
  • Drivers unfamiliar with Kansas weather patterns who get caught in sudden tornado warnings or ice storms

These aren’t just “accidents”—they’re often predictable results of violated safety regulations. When trucking companies pressure drivers to violate 49 CFR Part 395 (Hours of Service) to get grain delivered before spoilage, or when loaders ignore 49 CFR Part 393 (Cargo Securement) to maximize loads, people get hurt. We’ve seen it happen too many times on Republic County roads.

If you were hit by a truck hauling Kansas grain, call us immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911. The trucking company already has lawyers working—they dispatched them the moment their driver called in the crash. You need someone fighting just as hard for you.

Meet the Team Fighting for Republic County

Ralph Manginello: 25 Years of Trucking Justice

Ralph Manginello isn’t just another lawyer with a billboard. He’s a fighter who’s been holding trucking companies accountable since 1998. With bar admissions in both Texas and New York, plus federal court admission to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Ralph brings serious credentials to every case.

He started Attorney911 because he was tired of seeing families get pushed around by corporate insurance giants. That passion has driven multi-million dollar results:

  • $5+ million for a traumatic brain injury victim struck by a falling log
  • $3.8+ million for a client who lost a limb after a car crash
  • $2.5+ million in a commercial truck crash recovery
  • Currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against the University of Houston and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity

But numbers only tell part of the story. Ralph treats clients like family. As Chad Harris said after his case settled: “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”

Ralph’s experience includes going toe-to-toe with Fortune 500 companies, including involvement in the BP Texas City Refinery litigation—a $2.1 billion disaster settlement that demonstrated our firm’s ability to handle the most complex, high-stakes cases against well-funded corporate defendants.

Lupe Peña: The Insider Advantage

Here’s what most firms in Republic County can’t offer: One of our associate attorneys spent years defending insurance companies. Lupe Peña worked at a national defense firm before joining Attorney911. He knows exactly how commercial trucking insurers evaluate claims. He knows the Colossus software they use to minimize payouts. He knows the training manuals that teach adjusters to delay, deny, and defend.

Now he uses that insider knowledge against them.

When Lupe looks at your trucking accident case, he sees what the insurance company will argue before they even argue it. He knows when they’re bluffing about settlement offers, and he knows how to counter their delay tactics. That’s your advantage.

Lupe is also fluent in Spanish. For Republic County’s Hispanic families—many of whom work in agriculture and food processing—this means direct communication without interpreters. Hablamos Español. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911 para hablar con Lupe Peña directamente.

Our Track Record

Our firm maintains a 4.9-star rating across 251+ Google reviews. But we’re prouder of what clients say:

Donald Wilcox put it best: “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.”

Glenda Walker told us: “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

Angel Walle noted: “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.”

We don’t just win cases. We win them faster, with personal attention you won’t find at big billboard firms handling hundreds of files. When you call Attorney911, you get Ralph Manginello’s cell phone number—not a case manager who treats you like a file number.

Catastrophic Injuries: When Trucks Hit Cars

The physics are brutal. Your car weighs about 4,000 pounds. A loaded 18-wheeler hits 80,000 pounds. That’s twenty times the mass, crushing your vehicle with forces measured in tons, not pounds.

We’ve handled every type of catastrophic injury from Republic County trucking accidents:

Traumatic Brain Injury ($1.5M-$9.8M+ Recovery Range)

When your head strikes the steering wheel, dashboard, or window, the brain sloshes inside your skull. In Republic County accidents—where rural response times mean longer waits for trauma care—TBIs can worsen before treatment begins.

Symptoms might seem subtle at first: headaches, dizziness, mood swings. Then you realize you can’t concentrate at work. You forget your daughter’s birthday. The person you were before the crash on US-36 is gone.

We’ve recovered $1.5 million to $9.8 million for TBI victims. These funds pay for cognitive therapy, lost career earnings, and the lifetime of care severe brain injuries require.

Spinal Cord Injury ($4.7M-$25M+ Recovery Range)

A spinal cord injury from a jackknifed semi on I-70 can paralyze you in an instant. Whether it’s paraplegia (loss of legs) or quadriplegia (loss of all four limbs), the costs are astronomical. Wheelchairs, home modifications, 24/7 attendant care—these expenses add up to millions over a lifetime.

Don’t let the trucking company tell you their $750,000 insurance policy is enough. We’ve secured $4.7 million to $25 million for spinal cord survivors because we pursue every liable party, not just the driver.

Amputation ($1.9M-$8.6M Recovery Range)

Sometimes the collision crushes a limb so severely that surgical amputation is the only option. Other times, infection sets in weeks after the initial injury. We’ve seen both scenarios on Kansas highways.

Our client with the $3.8 million recovery lost part of his leg after a car accident led to staph infections. We proved the chain of causation from the truck driver’s negligence through the amputation, securing funds for prosthetics, rehabilitation, and lost earning capacity.

Wrongful Death ($1.9M-$9.5M Recovery Range)

When an 18-wheeler kills your loved one on a Republic County highway, justice requires holding everyone responsible—not just putting an “In Memory” sticker on your truck. Kansas law allows survival actions and wrongful death claims that recover:

  • Lost income the deceased would have earned
  • Loss of parental guidance and spousal companionship
  • Mental anguish for surviving family
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Punitive damages when the trucking company acted with gross negligence

You don’t pay us unless we recover money for you. Our contingency fee is 33.33% if we settle pre-trial, 40% if we go to trial. Zero upfront costs. We advance all investigation expenses.

The 18-Wheeler Accidents We See in Republic County

Not all truck crashes are the same. The wheat fields and interstate corridors around Belleville create specific risks you won’t find in downtown Houston or Chicago.

Jackknife Accidents

When a truck driver hits their brakes too hard on I-70’s long stretches—or when Kansas ice forms on the highway—the trailer swings out perpendicular to the cab. This creates a 70-foot steel wall blocking multiple lanes. Cars behind the truck have nowhere to go.

Jackknifes often indicate 49 CFR § 393.48 violations (brake system failures) or 49 CFR § 392.6 violations (speeding for conditions). We subpoena the ECM data to prove exactly when and how hard those brakes were applied.

Rollover Accidents

Kansas has its share of curves and wind-swept plains. When a grain hauler takes a corner too fast near a county road intersection, or when sudden wind gusts hit a high-profile trailer, rollovers happen. These crashes often spill cargo across the roadway, creating secondary collision hazards.

Improper loading under 49 CFR § 393.100 (cargo securement) frequently contributes. Grain must be properly contained to prevent shifting that changes the center of gravity.

Underride Collisions

Perhaps the most horrific truck accidents involve underride—when a passenger vehicle slides under the trailer from the rear or side. The trailer height often decapitates vehicle occupants or causes catastrophic head trauma.

Despite federal requirements under 49 CFR § 393.86 for rear impact guards, many trailers have inadequate protection. Side underride guards aren’t even federally mandated yet, though they could save hundreds of lives annually on highways like US-81.

Rear-End Collisions

A loaded semi at 65 mph needs nearly two football fields (525 feet) to stop. When a truck driver follows too closely on I-70 through your county, or when brake failure occurs due to neglected maintenance under 49 CFR Part 396, devastating rear-end crashes result.

We investigate following distances under 49 CFR § 392.11 and maintenance records to prove negligence.

Wide Turn Accidents (“Squeeze Play”)

Agricultural trucks need room to maneuver. When an 18-wheeler swings wide to make a right turn onto a county road near Republic County’s grain elevators, they often create gaps that smaller vehicles enter. The truck then crushes the car as it completes the turn.

These accidents involve violations of 49 CFR § 392.11 (unsafe lane changes) and often indicate inadequate driver training on rural road handling.

Blind Spot Collisions

Trucks have four “No-Zones”—areas where the driver cannot see you. The right-side blind spot is particularly dangerous and extends from the cab door back along the trailer. When a trucker changes lanes on US-36 without checking mirrors, or relies on damaged equipment violating 49 CFR § 393.80 (mirror requirements), catastrophic sideswipe accidents happen.

Tire Blowout Accidents

Kansas highways in July can reach pavement temperatures exceeding 140 degrees. Combined with agricultural debris on rural roads and overloaded grain trucks, tire blowouts are common. When a steer tire blows at highway speed, the driver loses control instantly.

We investigate whether the trucking company violated 49 CFR § 393.75 (tire requirements) or § 396.13 (pre-trip inspection requirements).

Brake Failure Accidents

Brake problems contribute to 29% of large truck crashes. When a company defers maintenance to save money—violating 49 CFR § 396.3 (systematic inspection requirements)—brakes fail on long downgrades or during emergency stops.

We demand post-trip inspection reports under 49 CFR § 396.11 and maintenance records. If they don’t exist or show deferred repairs, we’ve proven negligence.

Cargo Spill/Shift Accidents

Grain trucks that haven’t properly secured their loads under 49 CFR § 393.100-136 can spill wheat across US-81, causing multi-car pileups. Shifting loads also cause rollovers when the center of gravity changes suddenly.

If any of these accidents happened to you or your loved one in Republic County, time is critical. Evidence disappears fast. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now.

Federal Regulations That Protect You (And When They’re Broken)

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates every aspect of commercial trucking. When trucking companies violate these rules—and they often do—they create liability that strengthens your case.

49 CFR Part 390: General Applicability

These regulations apply to all commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce. If the truck that hit you weighs over 10,001 pounds or transports goods across state lines, Part 390 applies. This establishes the baseline duty of care owed to Republic County motorists.

49 CFR Part 391: Driver Qualification

Before a trucking company lets someone behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound vehicle, they must verify:

  • The driver is at least 21 years old
  • They can read and speak English sufficiently
  • They hold a valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)
  • They passed a physical exam (medical examiner’s certificate)
  • They have no disqualifying medical conditions
  • They completed required entry-level driver training

The Driver Qualification (DQ) File must contain all this documentation. When we request these files and find gaps—missing medical certs, unverified prior employment, or skipped background checks—we prove negligent hiring under Part 391.

49 CFR Part 392: Driving Rules

This section contains the rules of the road for commercial drivers:

  • § 392.3: No driving while fatigued, ill, or impaired
  • § 392.4/5: No drugs or alcohol within 4 hours of duty
  • § 392.6: No scheduling routes that require speeding
  • § 392.11: No following too closely (tailgating)
  • § 392.80/82: No texting or hand-held mobile phone use while driving

When we pull cell phone records and ELD data showing a driver was texting on US-81, or when ECM data shows they were following your vehicle at unsafe distances, these violations prove negligence per se.

49 CFR Part 393: Vehicle Safety & Cargo Securement

Critical for Kansas agricultural trucking:

  • § 393.100-136: Cargo must be contained, immobilized, and secured to prevent shifting, leaking, or falling
  • § 393.40-55: Brake systems must function properly
  • § 393.75: Tires must meet minimum tread depth (4/32″ for steer tires)
  • § 393.86: Rear impact guards must prevent underride

When a grain truck spills its load on your wife’s car because the loader violated securement requirements, Part 393 gives us the legal hook to hold them accountable.

49 CFR Part 395: Hours of Service (HOS)

This is the most commonly violated regulation—and the most dangerous. Truck drivers cannot:

  • Drive more than 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty
  • Drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour on duty
  • Skip the required 30-minute break after 8 hours driving
  • Exceed 60/70 hour weekly limits

Since December 2017, Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) track this automatically. We subpoena ELD data immediately to prove fatigue violations. If the driver was on their 12th hour of driving when they hit you on I-70, that’s automatic negligence under Part 395.

49 CFR Part 396: Inspection & Maintenance

Trucking companies must “systematically inspect, repair, and maintain” their fleets. Drivers must conduct pre-trip inspections (§ 396.13) and file post-trip reports (§ 396.11) noting any defects.

When we find that a company ignored brake warnings or skipped annual inspections (§ 396.17), we prove direct negligence for putting dangerous trucks on Republic County roads.

These violations aren’t just technicalities—they’re the difference between life and death. If the truck that hit you violated any FMCSA regulation, call 1-888-ATTY-911. We know exactly how to prove it.

Everyone Who Might Owe You Money

Most law firms only sue the driver and the trucking company. That’s leaving money on the table. We investigate every potentially liable party because more defendants mean more insurance coverage means higher compensation for your family.

1. The Truck Driver

Obviously liable for speeding, distraction, fatigue, or impairment. But individual drivers often carry limited insurance. That’s why we dig deeper.

2. The Trucking Company (Motor Carrier)

Under respondeat superior (let the master answer), employers are liable for employees’ negligence. But we also look for:

  • Negligent hiring: Did they verify the driver’s history under Part 391?
  • Negligent training: Did they teach proper cargo securement for grain loads?
  • Negligent supervision: Did they monitor ELD compliance?
  • Negligent maintenance: Did they skip brake repairs to save money?

Motor carriers carry $750,000 to $5 million in insurance—deep pockets that can actually cover catastrophic injuries.

3. Cargo Owner/Shipper

The farm or grain elevator that owned the wheat may be liable if they:

  • Required overweight loading
  • Failed to disclose hazardous cargo properties
  • Pressured the driver to rush delivery

4. Cargo Loading Company

Third-party loaders at Republic County grain elevators must secure cargo per Part 393. When they fail to use proper tiedowns or overload the trailer, they share liability.

5. Truck & Trailer Manufacturer

If defective brakes, faulty steering, or inadequate underride guards contributed to the crash, we pursue product liability claims against manufacturers. This requires preserving the physical evidence before it’s scrapped.

6. Parts Manufacturers

Defective tires, brake components, or coupling devices can cause crashes even when the driver did nothing wrong. We investigate recalls and defect patterns.

7. Maintenance Companies

When third-party mechanics perform negligent repairs—adjusting brakes improperly or installing wrong parts—they’re liable for the resulting crashes.

8. Freight Brokers

Brokers who arrange transportation but don’t own the trucks may be liable for negligent selection—choosing a carrier with poor safety records just because they offered the lowest bid.

9. Truck Owner (If Different from Carrier)

In owner-operator arrangements, the owner who leased the truck may share liability for maintenance failures or negligent entrustment.

10. Government Entities

If Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) knew about a dangerous intersection design, inadequate signage, or road defects that contributed to the accident, they may share liability. (Note: Kansas sovereign immunity rules apply—strict notice deadlines are critical.)

We identify every policy, every defendant, and every deep pocket. That’s how we maximize your recovery. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 to start the investigation.

The 48-Hour Evidence Emergency

Here’s what the trucking company doesn’t want you to know: Critical evidence starts disappearing immediately.

The Critical Timeline

Timeframe Evidence at Risk
0-24 Hours Trucking company dispatches rapid-response team to the scene; driver receives legal coaching; vehicles moved
7-30 Days ECM/Black box data overwritten with new driving cycles; dashcam footage deleted
6 Months FMCSA only requires 6 months of ELD data retention; after that, it can be legally destroyed
1 Year Maintenance records may be purged; witness memories fade significantly

The Spoliation Letter: Your Legal Shield

Within 24 hours of taking your case, we send a spoliation letter to every potential defendant. This legal notice puts them on formal preservation obligation. Once they receive it, destroying evidence becomes “spoliation”—a serious legal violation that can result in:

  • Adverse inference instructions (jury told to assume destroyed evidence was harmful to the defense)
  • Monetary sanctions
  • Default judgment in extreme cases

We demand preservation of:

  • ECM/Black Box Data: Speed, braking, throttle position, fault codes
  • ELD Records: Hours of service, GPS location history
  • Driver Qualification File: Employment history, medical certs, drug tests
  • Maintenance Records: Brake inspections, tire logs, repair orders
  • Cell Phone Records: To prove distraction under § 392.82
  • Dashcam Footage: Video of the crash and driver behavior
  • Dispatch Communications: Evidence of schedule pressure

If you’ve been in a Republic County trucking accident in the last 48 hours, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately. Every hour you wait, evidence vanishes.

Kansas Law: What You Need to Know

Statute of Limitations: Two Years (Not One)

Kansas gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death, the clock starts at the date of death. This is longer than Tennessee or Louisiana (1 year), but don’t get comfortable.

Two years passes quickly when you’re dealing with surgeries, rehabilitation, and trying to put your life back together. More importantly, evidence disappears in weeks, not years. The sooner you call us, the stronger your case.

Comparative Fault: Kansas Modified Comparative (50% Rule)

Kansas uses modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar. This means:

  • If you’re 0-50% at fault, you recover damages reduced by your percentage
  • If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing

The trucking company’s insurance adjuster will try to push you over that 50% threshold. They’ll claim you were speeding, or didn’t signal, or were distracted. We fight back with ECM data, ELD logs, and accident reconstruction to prove the truck driver was primarily responsible.

Damage Caps and Punitive Damages

Kansas caps non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in some contexts, but trucking accidents involving FMCSA violations or gross negligence may support punitive damages beyond the caps. These punish the trucking company for reckless conduct and deter future violations.

Kansas also caps punitive damages at the lesser of (a) defendant’s annual gross income or (b) $5 million. For cases involving egregious safety violations—like knowingly putting a fatigued driver on the road—punitive damages can significantly increase your recovery.

Don’t try to navigate Kansas comparative fault rules alone. One wrong statement to the insurance company could push you over the 50% threshold. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation.

Your Questions Answered

Immediate After-Accident Questions

Q: What should I do immediately after an 18-wheeler accident in Republic County?

Call 911, seek medical attention immediately, document everything with photos (vehicles, scene, injuries, road conditions), get the truck’s DOT number and company information, collect witness contacts, and call Attorney911 before talking to any insurance company. Hablamos Español—llame al 1-888-ATTY-911.

Q: Should I go to the hospital even if I feel okay?

Absolutely. Adrenaline masks pain. Traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and spinal damage may not show symptoms for hours. Belleville’s medical facilities and nearby trauma centers need to document your condition immediately to link injuries to the crash.

Q: Should I talk to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?

Never. Adjusters are trained to minimize claims. They record conversations and use your words against you. They work for the trucking company, not you. As Donald Wilcox discovered when other firms rejected his case, having the right attorney changes everything: “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.”

Trucking Company & Liability Questions

Q: Who can I sue after a Kansas trucking accident?

Potentially ten parties: the driver, trucking company, cargo owner, loading company, truck manufacturer, parts maker, maintenance company, freight broker, truck owner, and government entities if road defects contributed. We investigate all of them.

Q: Is the trucking company liable if the driver caused the crash?

Usually yes. Under Kansas respondeat superior rules and federal FMCSA regulations, employers are responsible for employees’ negligence within the scope of employment. Plus, we look for direct negligence like negligent hiring or maintenance failures.

Q: What if the driver claims I was at fault?

Kansas uses comparative fault. We gather ECM data, ELD logs, and witness statements to prove what really happened. As Glenda Walker said about our firm: “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.” We don’t let trucking companies shift blame unfairly.

Evidence & Investigation Questions

Q: What is a truck’s “black box” and why does it matter?

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) records speed, braking, engine data, and fault codes. This objective evidence contradicts driver excuses. We send spoliation letters within 24 hours to prevent deletion.

Q: How long does the trucking company keep black box data?

As little as 30 days before overwriting. That’s why immediate legal action is critical. We preserve evidence before it disappears.

Q: What records should my attorney get?

Driver Qualification Files, maintenance logs, ELD data, cell phone records, dispatch communications, drug test results, and the physical truck itself. We leave no stone unturned.

Kansas Law & Process Questions

Q: How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Kansas?

Two years from the accident date. But waiting is dangerous. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and the trucking company builds their defense. Contact us immediately.

Q: Will my case go to trial?

Most settle, but we prepare every case for trial. Insurance companies offer better settlements to attorneys with trial experience and resources to take cases all the way. Ralph Manginello’s 25 years of courtroom experience gives you leverage.

Q: Do I need to pay upfront to hire your firm?

No. We work on contingency. You pay nothing unless we win. We advance all investigation costs. The initial consultation is free. As Angel Walle noted: “They solved in a couple of months what others did nothing about in two years.”

Insurance Questions

Q: How much insurance do trucking companies carry?

Federal law requires minimums of $750,000 for general freight, $1 million for oil/equipment, and $5 million for hazardous materials. Many carry $1-5 million in coverage. We identify all available policies.

Q: What if the insurance company offers a quick settlement?

Never accept the first offer. It’s always a lowball attempt to close your case before you know the full extent of your injuries. We calculate lifetime costs before negotiating.

Q: Can I recover if I’m partially at fault?

Yes, as long as you’re not more than 50% at fault under Kansas law. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still receive substantial compensation.

The Attorney911 Difference for Republic County

We know what makes Republic County trucking accidents unique. We understand the pressures on agricultural haulers during harvest season. We know how Kansas weather contributes to crashes. And we know how to access federal court when interstate commerce is involved.

Our three offices in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont give us reach across the region, but our commitment is personal, not geographic. When you hire Attorney911, you get:

  • Direct cell phone access to Ralph Manginello
  • Spanish-language representation from Lupe Peña without interpreters
  • Immediate spoliation letters to preserve evidence
  • Former insurance defense experience that anticipates trucking company tactics
  • Multi-million dollar results that actually cover lifetime care

Kiimarii Yup told us: “I lost everything… my car was at a total loss, and because of Attorney Manginello and my case worker Leonor, 1 year later I have gained so much in return plus a brand new truck.”

That’s the difference between a law firm that treats you like family and one that treats you like a file number.
