Andrews, TX: When a Child Behind the Wheel and a Failed Spare Tire Take Nine Lives You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from a golf tournament. A van carrying a coach and eight young athletes back to Hobbs, New Mexico, met a pickup truck on FM 1788 near Andrews, Texas, and nine people are gone. The National Transportation Safety Board has confirmed two facts that make this crash different from any other you have read about: the pickup was driven by a 13-year-old — a child who, under Texas law, cannot hold any license at all — and the truck’s left front tire, which was a spare, blew out before impact. Both vehicles caught fire. Everyone in that van, and the child driving the truck, died. We are not going to pretend we can give you back what was taken. What we can do is tell you, plainly and completely, what the law allows families to do when nine people are killed because a child was put behind the wheel of a 3/4-ton pickup on a rural West Texas highway with a spare tire on the front axle. We can tell you who can…

When Your Family Member Dies in the Ector County Jail, the Answers Are Not Going to Come to You You received a phone call that no family should ever get. A 55-year-old man was found dead in his cell at the Ector County Law Enforcement Center in Odessa, Texas, on a Friday afternoon in October 2022. Maybe you were told he was discovered at 5:40 p.m. Maybe you were not told anything else — not what happened in the hours before, not whether anyone checked on him, not whether he asked for help that never came. Maybe the next of kin could not even be located at first, and days passed before anyone in your family even knew he was gone. We are going to tell you what we tell every family that calls us in this moment: the jail is not going to explain itself. The Sheriff’s Office will release a brief statement. The Texas Rangers will open an investigation that may take six months or more. And the evidence — the video, the cell-check logs, the intake medical screening — is already on a clock, erasing itself in some cases within weeks. The answers you are owed are…

Kenosha Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Death on Highway 158: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Driver Fled Someone killed a 36-year-old man on State Highway 158 in Kenosha in the early hours of June 25, 2023, and drove away without stopping. A Kenosha County deputy found him lying unresponsive on the shoulder, tried to save his life, and could not. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The vehicle that struck him left behind a chrome hood piece and other car parts — evidence that points to a white 2010–2016 Cadillac SRX with front-end damage — but as of the last public reporting, the driver had not been identified. If your family is living inside this — or inside a tragedy shaped like it — you are reading this at a kitchen table at 2 a.m. with a folder of papers you cannot bring yourself to open, a phone full of messages from people who mean well and do not understand, and a question that will not leave you alone: what do we do when the person who did this is still out there? We are going to answer that question. Every part of it. The law that protects your family.…

Two Odessa Residents Dead After Ector County Crash — What Surviving Families Need to Know Two people from your community are gone. Not statistics on a highway-safety dashboard — a spouse, a parent, a child, a friend someone is never going to see walk through the door again. The crash happened on roads you know: the same stretches of US 385, State Highway 302, or Interstate 20 that you drive to work, to the store, to visit family in Odessa or across the Permian Basin. And now someone you love is never coming home from one of them. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful death claims across Texas, and we are writing this page because the families of the two Odessa residents killed in this crash deserve to know, in plain language, what the law actually gives them, what the insurance company is already doing, and what is quietly disappearing while they grieve. Here is the first thing you need to hear: the law in Texas gives you a path to accountability and financial security. But two clocks started the moment that crash happened. One you can see — the two-year deadline to file…

Andrews County Fatal Head-On Crash: Your Family’s Rights After a Permian Basin Highway Death You are reading this because someone you love is not coming home. A head-on collision on a highway in Andrews County took their life, and now you are sitting with a grief that has no shape and a list of questions that has no end. The calls have already started. Someone from an insurance company sounds sympathetic on the phone and wants to “just get your statement.” The wrecked vehicle sits in a tow yard, accruing fees. The Texas Department of Public Safety is preparing a crash report that will take weeks. And every single day that passes, evidence that could prove what really happened is fading, being overwritten, or being legally destroyed. We want you to know three things right now, before anything else. First, you do not have to figure this out tonight. Grief comes first. Second, the insurance adjuster who calls you is not your friend, and the kindest thing you can do for your family right now is to not give that person a recorded statement. Third, the evidence from a head-on crash on a Permian Basin highway degrades fast — vehicles…

Odessa Hit-and-Run Semi-Truck on I-20 at East Loop 338: What to Do When the Truck That Hit You Disappeared You were driving on I-20 through Odessa, and a semi-truck hit you — and then it was gone. The Odessa Police Department is searching for it. You are sitting in a hospital room, or standing on the shoulder of an interstate staring at a wrecked vehicle, or lying awake at 2 a.m. wondering what happens now that the truck that caused this has vanished into the Permian Basin freight traffic.

We are Attorney911, and we handle commercial truck accident cases across Texas. This page is not a news summary.

Hit-and-Run Arrest at I-20 & East Loop 338 in Odessa, Ector County, TX — Attorney911 Brings Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice to Hit-and-Run Cases Where Fleeing the Scene Leaves Victims Without Medical Aid on a 75-MPH Oilfield Corridor, We Preserve the Interchange Surveillance Footage Before the 30-Day Overwrite and Pull the Crash Report, Arrest Affidavit and Black-Box Data, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values Hit-and-Run Cases, Texas Stop-and-Render-Aid Law and Punitive Damages for Conscious Indifference, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Odessa Hit-and-Run at I-20 and Loop 338: What the Arrest Means and What You Need to Do Right Now You are reading this because someone you love was struck on the I-20 corridor near East Loop 338 in Odessa, and the driver who did it fled the scene. The news says a man was arrested. Maybe you saw the arrest on the local broadcast. Maybe you were the one lying on the pavement when the headlights disappeared into the dark. Either way, you are sitting with a phone full of medical bills, a body that hurts in ways you cannot fully explain yet, and a question that nobody has answered honestly: what does the arrest actually mean for you? Here is the first thing you need to hear, and it is good news. The arrest transforms your case. When a hit-and-run driver is never caught, the victim is often limited to their own uninsured-motorist coverage and whatever the criminal investigation never uncovers. An identified, arrested defendant means a direct civil claim against a real person with a real insurance policy, a real vehicle, and a real name on the lawsuit. That is a fundamentally different case — and a fundamentally…

Odessa Wrongful Death: A Wrong-Way Driver on 42nd Street Took Three Lives — What the Law Gives Your Family You are reading this at a time nobody should have to face. Someone you love was killed on 42nd Street in Ector County — a well-known Odessa radio voice, his partner, and a young family member, all gone in a single head-on collision. The person who caused it was driving the wrong direction down a major arterial, and he is also dead. You probably think that is the end of it. It is not. The law has answers for exactly this situation, and some of them may surprise you. When the at-fault driver is deceased, the case does not disappear. His estate stands in his shoes for liability purposes. His automobile liability insurer remains contractually obligated to cover the damages he caused, up to policy limits. And if his coverage is insufficient — which is likely, given that a 19-year-old from a small town 270 miles away may carry nothing more than Texas minimum limits — your loved one’s own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage becomes a primary recovery source. There may also be an employer behind that 270-mile drive, a…

Odessa Motorcycle Wrongful Death at Loop 338 & Arroyo Rd: What the Family Needs to Know If your family is reading this at 2 a.m. after losing a 33-year-old rider on NE Loop 338 in Odessa, here is the first thing you need to hear: the Odessa Police Department already investigated this crash, and they already determined what happened. The driver of a 2021 Ford F-150 failed to yield the right of way and turned left directly into the path of an oncoming Harley Davidson. Your loved one had the right of way. He was traveling north on the Loop, doing exactly what the law says he is allowed to do, when a southbound pickup cut across his lane to turn east onto Arroyo Rd. The police said it plainly: the F-150 “failed to yield right of way and turned left in front of the Harley Davidson.” That sentence is the foundation of your case. The second thing you need to hear is harder. The evidence that proves what really happened — the F-150’s black-box data, the driver’s cell-phone records, the skid marks on the pavement, the damage on the Harley, any dash-camera footage — is disappearing on a clock…

Ector County Plane Crash: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Fatal Aviation Accident in Odessa, Texas Two people died in a plane crash in Ector County, and if one of them was someone you loved, you are standing in a moment that feels impossible — the news is still fresh, the phone keeps ringing, and the world has not caught up to what your family has actually lost. The first thing we want you to hear is this: the cause of this crash has not been determined. The news does not know what happened. The first people on the scene do not know what happened. And the one federal agency that will investigate — the National Transportation Safety Board — is legally forbidden from assigning blame for your civil case. Your family’s case is not what the headline says it is. It is what the evidence proves, and the evidence is still being collected right now. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases across Texas, and aviation cases are different from every other kind of case in ways that matter immediately. The clock on your evidence started the moment that aircraft…
