Artesia Refinery Explosion: Your Legal Rights After the HF Sinclair Navajo Refinery Blast If you are reading this from Artesia — from a hospital room in Carlsbad or Roswell, from a kitchen table where the windows still rattled from the blast, from a phone in your hand while your child coughs in the next room — you are not reading this casually. Something tore through your life when that refinery exploded. You may be hurt. Someone you love may be hurt. You may be wondering what your family breathed that day, because nobody in authority has told you. And you may have already heard from someone at the company, or from an adjuster, or from a workers’ compensation representative who made the whole thing sound simple. It is not simple. And what you do in the first weeks after an explosion like this can decide what the rest of your life looks like. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle refinery explosion cases, toxic exposure claims, and catastrophic workplace injury litigation.

Artesia Refinery Explosion: What Happened at HF Sinclair’s Navajo Refinery on October 31, 2025, and What Your Rights Are Now If you were inside the Navajo Refinery on October 31, 2025, when the unit let go and the fire rolled through, you already know more about what an industrial explosion does to a human body than any lawyer can tell you. You felt the pressure wave before you heard the sound. You smelled the hydrocarbons before you saw the flash.

Not just medically. Legally. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that handles refinery explosions, catastrophic industrial injuries, and toxic-exposure cases, and we are writing this for one person: you. The worker who was burned.

New Mexico Permian Basin Flaring: Your Toxic Exposure Rights After the Record $24.5 Million Settlement If you live in Eddy or Lea County, if you work in the oilfields outside Carlsbad or Hobbs, if you watched a flare burn on the horizon night after night and wondered what was pouring out of it — you already know more about what happened than most people in this state. The headlines told you about the $24.5 million settlement. What the headlines did not tell you is that not one dollar of that $24.5 million is coming to you, to your family, or to anyone who breathed what came out of those flares. That money is a civil penalty paid to the State of New Mexico. Your right to compensation for what you and your lungs went through is a completely separate legal fight — and the clock on that fight may already be running. We are Attorney911. We take toxic exposure cases in New Mexico, and we are writing this page because the gap between what the state settled and what you are owed is the kind of gap that costs families everything if nobody explains it. What follows is everything we…

New Mexico Oil Field Injuries: The True Cost of Working the Permian Basin You are reading this at a time when everything has already gone wrong. Maybe you are the one who got hurt — the spinal injury that means you cannot lift your own child, the leukemia diagnosis that came out of nowhere at thirty-six, the loss of smell that means you will never again know the dinner your wife cooked. Maybe you are the spouse who keeps finding your husband’s work boots by the door even though he is not coming home the same. Maybe you are sitting in a hospital room in El Paso, two hours from home, wondering how a two-week coma turned into a lifetime of metal pegs in a spine. Or maybe you are the worker who is afraid — afraid that if you speak up, you lose your job, or worse, that someone calls immigration on the only livelihood that feeds your family. We are Attorney911. We are writing to you, not at you. Everything that follows is for the person who is trying to understand what happened to them or to someone they love in the oil fields of southeastern New Mexico…

Las Cruces Clergy Sexual Abuse Claims: The El Paso Diocese Bankruptcy and Your Rights as a Survivor If you were sexually abused by a priest at a parish in southern New Mexico — in Las Cruces, Doña Ana County, or anywhere that was part of the El Paso Catholic Diocese before 1982 — the bankruptcy filing you just heard about does not erase your claim. It changes the forum. Your right to seek accountability and compensation is still very much alive, but it now runs on a new clock with a deadline you cannot afford to miss. The diocese has proposed a 120-day window for survivors to come forward, and once that window closes, silence means forfeiture. We are going to walk you through exactly what happened, what it means for you, and what to do about it — plainly, without legal jargon, and with nothing held back. The El Paso Catholic Diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on March 6, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas. The filing automatically paused 12 lawsuits involving 18 survivors who allege childhood sexual abuse by priests at New Mexico parishes between 1956 and early 1982, when…

Las Cruces Diocese Records Dispute: What Happened, What It Means, and What Your Rights Are If you are a parishioner in Las Cruces or Mesilla reading about 60,000 financial records removed from the Diocese, a priest suspended, and a lawsuit quietly dismissed — you are not overreacting by wanting to know whether your personal information was in those files. You are doing exactly what a careful person does when an institution that holds your data loses control of it. We are going to tell you everything we know about how these situations work under New Mexico law, what the Diocese’s own statements reveal and what they do not, and what your actual rights are — whether you gave money in a collection plate, enrolled a child in a parish school, or simply have your name and address on a parish registry. This page is legal information, not legal advice, and contacting us is free and confidential. But the information here is real, it is specific to New Mexico, and it is written by trial lawyers who have spent decades holding institutions accountable for the records they keep and the duties they owe.

Las Cruces Truck Accident Wrongful Death: What the Werner Enterprises $40.5 Million Verdict Exposed About Student Driver Training Failures on I-10 If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on I-10 near Las Cruces — or on any stretch of New Mexico highway where a commercial truck crossed into your family’s path — you are in the worst hours of your life, and the company whose truck caused it is already working to protect itself. We know because we have sat across the table from the carriers and their insurers, and we know what happens in the first days after a fatal crash. The adjuster calls. The “investigator” shows up.

Las Cruces, Dona Ana County, New Mexico — NMSU Basketball Hazing & Sexual Assault: Your Rights Under Title IX and New Mexico Law You are reading this at an hour when most people are asleep. Maybe you are the one it happened to — a young athlete who came to New Mexico State University to play the sport you love, and instead was held down on a team bus while teammates who were supposed to have your back did something you cannot unlive. Maybe you are a parent who just learned what your child survived, or what your child is still carrying in silence, months after the news cycle moved on and the program was shut down and the coach was fired and everyone acted like that was the end of it. It is not the end of it. What happened at NMSU between the summer of 2022 and February 2023 — the degrading comments, the forced exposure, the shower assaults, the bus assault on November 12, the hotel room where a freshman was told “this is what we do” — that is not a scandal that closed when the season was cancelled. It is an injury that is still…

When the Locker Room Becomes a Crime Scene: The $8 Million NMSU Settlement If you are a student-athlete or the parent of one in Las Cruces, New Mexico, you know that the jersey represents more than just a game. It represents a future, a scholarship, and a sacred trust between a family and a university. When that trust is shattered by systemic abuse—especially the kind of egregious sexual assault and physical hazing recently uncovered within the New Mexico State University (NMSU) men’s basketball program—the damage reaches far beyond the court. We are looking at an $8 million settlement paid by NMSU to victims and their families. This is one of the most significant resolutions in the history of college sports law, and it sends a clear message: an institution cannot look the other way while its players are being terrorized. Whether you are dealing with a similar situation at a university, a high school, or a private club, you need to understand the legal machinery that forced this result. At The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC (Attorney911), we work with families to move through the wreckage of institutional betrayal. We don’t get paid unless we win your case, and we offer…
