Car Accidents in Shavano Park: How Attorney911 Fights for Your Maximum Compensation

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Shavano Park, you’re not alone. With over 251,977 people injured in Texas motor vehicle crashes last year alone—one every 57 seconds—car accidents are a constant threat on our roads. Whether you were rear-ended on Loop 1604, sideswiped at the intersection of Blanco Road and Wurzbach Parkway, or involved in a multi-vehicle collision on I-10, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Medical bills pile up, insurance companies pressure you to settle quickly, and the legal process feels confusing and intimidating.

At Attorney911, we understand what you’re going through. Founded by Ralph Manginello, who brings over 25 years of experience fighting for accident victims across Texas, our firm has recovered millions for clients just like you. We know Shavano Park’s roads, courts, and insurance adjusters—and we know how to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

The Reality of Car Accidents in Shavano Park

Shavano Park sits at the crossroads of major highways and busy arterial roads, making it a hotspot for car accidents. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reports that Bexar County sees thousands of crashes annually, many resulting in serious injuries. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Frequency: Texas experiences a reportable crash every 57 seconds, and injuries occur every 2 minutes and 5 seconds.
  • Common Causes: Distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, running red lights, and driving under the influence are leading causes of accidents in Shavano Park and surrounding areas.
  • Dangerous Locations: High-risk areas include:
    • The I-10 corridor near Shavano Park, where high-speed collisions are common
    • Intersections along Loop 1604, where merging traffic creates hazards
    • Blanco Road and Wurzbach Parkway, known for heavy commuter traffic and congestion
    • The stretch of US-281 near the Medical Center, where traffic flow is unpredictable

When you’re injured in a car accident, the consequences can be life-altering. Many victims don’t realize the full extent of their injuries until days or even weeks after the crash. That’s why it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately and consult with an experienced car accident attorney who can protect your rights from the start.

Common Injuries from Car Accidents

Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor to catastrophic. Some of the most common injuries we see at Attorney911 include:

  • Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries: These are among the most common injuries in car accidents, especially rear-end collisions. Symptoms may not appear immediately but can lead to chronic pain if left untreated.
  • Herniated Discs: The force of a collision can cause the discs in your spine to rupture or shift, leading to severe pain, numbness, and even paralysis in some cases.
  • Broken Bones and Fractures: Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are frequently broken in car accidents. These injuries often require surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even a mild concussion can have long-lasting effects. TBIs can cause cognitive impairment, memory loss, and personality changes.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: These devastating injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care.
  • Internal Organ Damage: The force of a collision can cause internal bleeding and damage to organs, which may not be immediately apparent.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Many accident victims experience anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms long after the physical injuries have healed.

One of our clients suffered a leg injury in a car accident on Loop 1604. During treatment, staff infections developed, ultimately leading to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions, demonstrating our commitment to fighting for maximum compensation even in complex cases with severe complications.

Why Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side

After a car accident, you might assume the insurance company will treat you fairly. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case. Insurance companies are businesses focused on protecting their profits, not your well-being. Here’s what they don’t want you to know:

The Quick Cash Trap

Within days of your accident, an insurance adjuster may contact you with a quick settlement offer. It might sound tempting—especially when you’re facing mounting medical bills—but these offers are almost always far below what your case is truly worth. Once you accept a settlement, you can’t go back for more, even if your injuries worsen or require additional treatment.

Recorded Statements: A Minefield

Insurance adjusters are trained to ask leading questions designed to minimize your injuries and shift blame onto you. They might ask:

  • “You’re feeling better now, right?”
  • “It wasn’t that bad of an impact, was it?”
  • “Were you distracted at all?”

Everything you say in a recorded statement can be used against you later. That’s why we advise all our clients: Do not give a recorded statement without consulting an attorney first.

The Independent Medical Exam (IME) Scam

If you’ve been treating for your injuries, the insurance company may demand you undergo an “independent” medical exam. Don’t be fooled—the doctor performing the exam is hired and paid by the insurance company. Their goal is to find reasons to minimize your injuries, often after a cursory 10-15 minute evaluation.

Our firm includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who spent years working for insurance companies. He knows their tactics inside and out—because he used them. Now, he uses that insider knowledge to fight for you. As Lupe explains:

“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. They’re not documenting your life—they’re building ammunition against you.”

How Attorney911 Fights for You

At Attorney911, we don’t just handle car accident cases—we fight for justice. Here’s how we protect your rights and maximize your compensation:

Immediate Action: The 48-Hour Protocol

Evidence disappears quickly after a car accident. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is typically deleted within 7-30 days. Witness memories fade, and skid marks are washed away by rain. That’s why we act fast:

  • Within 24 Hours: We send preservation letters to all parties involved, legally requiring them to preserve evidence before it’s automatically deleted.
  • Week One: We obtain police reports, interview witnesses, and secure surveillance footage before it’s gone forever.
  • Ongoing: We coordinate your medical treatment, ensuring you receive the care you need while documenting your injuries for your claim.

Proving Liability: Building a Strong Case

To win your case, we must prove the other driver was negligent. We gather evidence from multiple sources:

  • Police Reports: These documents provide an official record of the accident and often include the officer’s opinion on fault.
  • Witness Statements: Eyewitnesses can provide crucial details about how the accident occurred.
  • Accident Reconstruction: In complex cases, we work with experts to recreate the accident and determine fault.
  • Electronic Data: Many vehicles have black boxes that record speed, braking, and other data at the time of the crash.
  • Surveillance Footage: We obtain video from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, and even doorbell cameras.

Calculating Damages: What You’re Entitled To

Texas law allows car accident victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include:

  • Medical Expenses: Past and future medical bills, including hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and medications.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to your injuries.
  • Lost Earning Capacity: If your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or reduce your ability to earn income in the future.
  • Property Damage: The cost to repair or replace your vehicle and any personal property damaged in the accident.
  • Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Transportation to medical appointments, home modifications, and other accident-related costs.

Non-economic damages compensate you for the physical and emotional toll of your injuries:

  • Pain and Suffering: The physical pain and discomfort caused by your injuries.
  • Mental Anguish: The emotional distress, anxiety, and depression resulting from the accident.
  • Physical Impairment: The loss of physical function or ability to perform daily activities.
  • Disfigurement: Compensation for scars, burns, or other permanent changes to your appearance.
  • Loss of Consortium: The impact of your injuries on your relationship with your spouse.

In cases of gross negligence—such as drunk driving—you may also be entitled to punitive damages, which are designed to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior in the future.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies: Our Insider Advantage

Insurance companies use sophisticated software called Colossus to calculate the value of your claim. The adjuster inputs data about your injuries, treatment, and other factors, and the software generates a recommended settlement range. The problem? Colossus is programmed to undervalue serious injuries.

Lupe Peña, our associate attorney, knows how Colossus works because he used it for years while working for insurance companies. He understands how to present your medical records to maximize your claim’s value and when the software’s output is artificially low. This insider knowledge is a game-changer in negotiations.

Trial Preparation: We’re Always Ready

While most car accident cases settle out of court, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach gives us leverage in negotiations and demonstrates to the insurance company that we’re not afraid to take your case to court if they refuse to offer a fair settlement.

Ralph Manginello is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving us the ability to handle complex cases in federal court when necessary. Our involvement in the BP Texas City explosion litigation further demonstrates our capability to take on large corporations and secure substantial verdicts for our clients.

What Our Clients Say

Don’t just take our word for it—here’s what our clients have to say about their experience with Attorney911:

“Leonor got me into the doctor the same day and got me a rental car. She was able to assist me with my case within 6 months amazing.” — Chavodrian Miles

“I was rear-ended and the team got right to work. Leonor was able to get me a rental car, get me to the doctor, and get me a very nice settlement.” — MONGO SLADE

“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.” — Kiimarii Yup

“You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” — Chad Harris

“Consistent communication and not one time did I call and not get a clear answer. Ralph reached out personally.” — Dame Haskett

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents in Shavano Park

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

If you’ve been in a car accident in Shavano Park, follow these steps:

  1. Call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance if needed.
  2. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Many injuries, like whiplash or internal bleeding, may not be immediately apparent.
  3. Document everything: Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, injuries, and road conditions. Exchange information with the other driver and get contact information from any witnesses.
  4. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company without consulting an attorney first.
  5. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance.

Should I call the police even for a minor accident?

Yes. Always call the police after a car accident, no matter how minor it may seem. The police report is a crucial piece of evidence that documents the details of the accident, including the officer’s opinion on fault. In Texas, you are required to report any accident that results in injury, death, or property damage over $1,000.

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

Absolutely. Many serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding, may not show symptoms immediately. Adrenaline can mask pain at the scene, making you feel fine even if you’re injured. Delaying medical treatment can also hurt your claim, as insurance companies may argue that your injuries weren’t serious or weren’t caused by the accident.

What information should I collect at the scene?

Gather as much information as possible:

  • Other driver: Name, phone number, address, driver’s license number, insurance information (company and policy number), and license plate number.
  • Vehicle: Make, model, color, and license plate number of all vehicles involved.
  • Witnesses: Names and phone numbers of anyone who saw the accident.
  • Photos: Take pictures of vehicle damage, injuries, the accident scene, road conditions, and traffic signals.
  • Police: Get the officer’s name, badge number, and the police report number.

Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?

Exchange information only. Do not discuss fault, apologize, or say “I’m sorry,” as this can be used as an admission of guilt. Stick to the facts and avoid giving your opinion on what happened.

How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?

In Shavano 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 the insurance company?

To the other driver’s insurance company: No. You are not required to give a recorded statement, and doing so can hurt your case. Insurance adjusters are trained to ask leading questions designed to minimize your injuries and shift blame onto you.

To your own insurance company: You have a duty to cooperate, but it’s still wise to consult with an attorney first. We can advise you on what to say and what to avoid.

What if the other driver’s insurance contacts me?

Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.” Give only basic information, such as your name and the date of the accident. Do not discuss your injuries, the accident details, or accept any settlement offers without consulting an attorney.

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

No. The insurance company’s estimate is just an offer, and it’s usually far below what your case is actually worth. At Attorney911, we fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

Should I accept a quick settlement offer?

Never accept a settlement offer before knowing the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money, even if you later discover you need surgery or additional treatment. Early settlement offers are almost always lowball offers designed to save the insurance company money.

What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?

If the other driver doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to cover your damages, your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can compensate you. Texas law allows you to “stack” UM/UIM coverage from multiple policies, increasing your potential recovery. Watch our video on UM/UIM claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8

Why does the insurance company want me to sign a medical authorization?

Insurance companies want you to sign a broad medical authorization so they can access your entire medical history—not just the records related to your accident. They’re searching for pre-existing conditions to use against you, even if those conditions were minor or unrelated to your current injuries.

At Attorney911, we limit medical authorizations to only the records relevant to your accident. We also work with medical experts to explain how your accident aggravated any pre-existing conditions, ensuring you receive fair compensation.

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover compensation if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is known as the “eggshell plaintiff” rule—the at-fault party takes you as they find you. For example, if you had mild back pain before the accident and the collision caused a herniated disc requiring surgery, you can recover for the aggravation of your condition.

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 coverage available to recover from

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

When should I hire a car accident lawyer?

Immediately. Evidence disappears daily, and insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. The sooner you call Attorney911, the better we can protect your rights and preserve crucial evidence.

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

In Texas, you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, your case will be barred forever, and you won’t be able to recover any compensation. For wrongful death claims, the 2-year clock starts from the date of death.

What is comparative negligence, and how does it affect me?

Texas uses a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar. This means:

  • If you are 50% or less at fault for the accident, you can recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
  • If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages.

For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the accident and your damages total $100,000, you would recover $80,000 ($100,000 minus 20%).

Insurance companies often try to assign as much fault as possible to you to reduce their payout. Our experience—including Lupe Peña’s background in insurance defense—helps us counter these arguments and fight for a fair assessment of fault.

What happens if I was partially at fault?

If you were 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 30% at fault and your damages total $50,000, you would recover $35,000 ($50,000 minus 30%).

Will my case go to trial?

Most car accident cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach gives us leverage in negotiations and shows the insurance company that we’re serious about fighting for maximum compensation.

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

How long will my case take to settle?

The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries and the complexity of your case. We don’t settle your case until you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), which means you’ve recovered as much as possible from your injuries. This could take 6 months for minor injuries or 18-24 months for more serious cases.

What is the legal process step-by-step?

  1. Investigation and Evidence Gathering: We collect police reports, medical records, witness statements, and other evidence to build your case.
  2. Medical Treatment: You continue treating for your injuries until you reach MMI.
  3. Demand Letter: We send a demand letter to the insurance company outlining your damages and demanding fair compensation.
  4. Negotiation: We negotiate with the insurance company to reach a fair settlement.
  5. Lawsuit (if necessary): If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we file a lawsuit.
  6. Discovery: Both sides exchange information and evidence through written questions, document requests, and depositions.
  7. Mediation: A neutral third party helps facilitate settlement negotiations.
  8. Trial (if necessary): If we can’t reach a fair settlement, we take your case to trial.

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

What is my case worth?

The value of your case depends on several factors, including:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • The cost of your medical treatment (past and future)
  • Your lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • The impact of your injuries on your daily life
  • The degree of fault assigned to each party
  • The insurance coverage available

While we can’t guarantee a specific outcome, we can provide a general range based on our experience with similar cases. For example:

  • Soft tissue injuries (whiplash, sprains): $15,000-$60,000
  • Broken bones (requiring surgery): $132,000-$328,000
  • Herniated discs (requiring surgery): $346,000-$1,205,000
  • Traumatic brain injuries: $1,548,000-$9,838,000
  • Spinal cord injuries/paralysis: $4,770,000-$25,880,000

What types of damages can I recover?

In Texas, car accident victims can recover both economic and non-economic damages:

Economic Damages (No Cap in Texas):

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., transportation to medical appointments, home modifications)

Non-Economic Damages (No Cap Except Medical Malpractice):

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Physical impairment
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium (impact on your relationship with your spouse)
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

In cases of gross negligence, such as drunk driving, you may also be entitled to punitive damages, which are designed to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior.

Can I get compensation for pain and suffering?

Yes. Pain and suffering is a significant component of personal injury cases in Texas, and there is no cap on these damages (except in medical malpractice cases). The amount you can recover depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and the degree of fault assigned to each party.

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover compensation if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is known as the “eggshell plaintiff” rule—the at-fault party takes you as they find you. For example, if you had mild back pain before the accident and the collision caused a herniated disc requiring surgery, you can recover for the aggravation of your condition.

Will I have to pay taxes on my settlement?

Generally, compensation for physical injuries is not taxable. However, punitive damages and compensation for emotional distress not related to physical injuries may be taxable. Consult with a tax professional for specific advice.

How is the value of my claim determined?

The value of your claim is determined based on several factors, including:

  • Your medical bills (past and future)
  • The cost of future medical treatment
  • Your lost income and lost earning capacity
  • Your permanent impairment rating (if applicable)
  • The severity of your injuries and their impact on your daily life
  • Comparable verdicts and settlements in similar cases
  • The degree of fault assigned to each party

How much do car accident lawyers cost?

At Attorney911, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means:

  • You pay nothing upfront.
  • We advance all case costs (e.g., court fees, expert witness fees).
  • You only pay us if we recover compensation for you.
  • Our fee is a percentage of your recovery (typically 33.33% before trial, 40% if the case goes to trial).

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

What does “no fee unless we win” mean?

It means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. We advance all case costs, and you only reimburse us for those costs if we win.

How often will I get updates?

At Attorney911, we provide regular updates and are always available to answer your questions. 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 described:

“You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.”

What if I already hired another attorney?

You can switch attorneys at any time. If your current attorney isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pushing you to settle for less than you deserve, 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)?

If the other driver doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to cover your damages, your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can compensate you. However, your insurance company will fight your claim just as aggressively as the other driver’s insurance would. You need an attorney to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.

How do you calculate pain and suffering?

Pain and suffering is often calculated using the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain and suffering. The multiplier depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the degree of fault. Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense attorney, knows how to justify higher multipliers based on his experience calculating these values for insurance companies.

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

Government claims have special rules. You must file a notice of claim within 6 months (much shorter than the 2-year statute of limitations for most personal injury cases). Sovereign immunity protects government entities, and damage caps may apply. These cases are complex, and you need an experienced attorney to navigate them. Ralph Manginello’s 25+ years of experience includes handling government claims.

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

If the other driver fled the scene, file a police report immediately. Hit and run is a criminal offense in Texas, with penalties ranging from a Class B misdemeanor to a second-degree felony, depending on the severity of the accident. Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage can compensate you when the at-fault driver is unidentified. However, evidence disappears quickly—surveillance footage is typically deleted within 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately to secure this critical evidence.

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 your injuries. You are entitled to full recovery regardless of your immigration status. Your case is confidential, and we have successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish, and our bilingual staff ensures language is never a barrier.

What if the accident happened in a parking lot?

Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often argue that parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault, but this is not true. We prove fault through surveillance video, witness statements, damage analysis, and traffic patterns. Texas comparative negligence rules apply, and we’ve won many parking lot cases with clear liability findings.

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

If you were a passenger in the at-fault vehicle, you can sue the driver even if you were riding with a friend or family member. You are an innocent victim, and the driver’s insurance covers passengers. There are no comparative fault issues for passengers, and these cases often settle quickly because liability is clear. We handle the difficult conversations so you don’t have to.

What if the other driver died in the accident?

You can still pursue a claim against the deceased driver’s estate and insurance. The driver’s death does not eliminate liability, and their insurance policy still applies. The estate may also have assets that can be used to compensate you. Wrongful death laws protect both sides, and these cases can be emotionally complex but are legally straightforward.

Why Choose Attorney911 for Your Shavano Park Car Accident Case?

With so many law firms to choose from, why should you trust Attorney911 with your car accident case? Here are five reasons we stand out:

1. Insurance Defense Insider: We Know Their Playbook Because We Wrote It

Most law firms only know how to fight insurance companies from the plaintiff’s side. We know their tactics from the inside. Lupe Peña, our associate attorney, spent years working for a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims. He knows:

  • How they calculate settlement offers using software like Colossus
  • Which “independent” medical exam (IME) doctors they favor (and how to counter their reports)
  • How they set reserves and settlement authority limits
  • Their delay and deny tactics

Now, Lupe uses that insider knowledge to fight for you. As he explains:

“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. They’re not documenting your life—they’re building ammunition against you.”

This unique advantage means we don’t just react to insurance company tactics—we anticipate and counter them before they’re deployed.

2. Multi-Million Dollar Results: We Don’t Settle Cheap

At Attorney911, we have a proven track record of securing substantial settlements and verdicts for our clients. Here are just a few examples:

  • Brain Injury with Vision Loss: We secured a multi-million dollar settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury with vision loss when a log dropped on him at a logging company.
  • Amputation After Car Accident: In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions.
  • Trucking Wrongful Death: Our personal injury attorneys have helped numerous families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation.
  • Maritime Injury: We secured a significant cash settlement for a client who injured his back while lifting cargo on a ship. Our investigation revealed that he should have been assisted in this duty.

These results demonstrate our commitment to fighting for maximum compensation, not quick, lowball settlements.

3. Federal Court Experience: We Handle Complex Cases

Ralph Manginello is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, giving us the ability to handle complex cases that other firms can’t. This is particularly important for:

  • Trucking accidents involving federal regulations (FMCSA)
  • Cases against large corporations (like our involvement in the BP Texas City explosion litigation)
  • Multi-state accidents with out-of-state defendants

Our federal court experience means we’re prepared to take on the toughest cases and secure the best possible outcomes for our clients.

4. Personal Attention: You’re Family, Not a Case Number

At Attorney911, you’re not just another case on an assembly line. You work directly with Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña, not just paralegals or case managers. As our clients consistently tell us:

“You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client… You are FAMILY to them.” — Chad Harris

“Consistent communication and not one time did I call and not get a clear answer.” — Dame Haskett

“Leonor and Amanda were amazing, they walked me through everything with my car accident.” — Kelly Hunsicker

This personal attention sets us apart from high-volume firms where you’re just a number.

5. Contingency Fee: No Risk to You

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:

  • You pay nothing upfront.
  • We advance all case costs (court fees, expert witness fees, etc.).
  • You only pay us if we recover compensation for you.
  • Our fee is a percentage of your recovery (typically 33.33% before trial, 40% if the case goes to trial).

This arrangement ensures that everyone has access to high-quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. It also means we’re motivated to secure the maximum compensation possible for you—because our fee depends on it.
