The Truck Turned Across Your Path on FM 866 — What Happens Now, and What the Company Is Already Doing You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from FM 866 on a Monday morning in January. A Peterbilt semi-truck turned east onto University Boulevard and crossed the northbound lanes — the lanes your person was driving in — and the GMC struck the trailer. Then the GMC hit a stopped pickup. And now one of you is planning a funeral, and the other is sitting in a hospital room at Medical Center Hospital, and the whole thing feels like it happened in a country that operates by rules nobody explained to you. We are going to explain them. Every one that matters.

You know the drive to Lubbock is long. You know the waiting room chairs are hard. And you may have already gotten a phone call from someone who sounds friendly and is not — an insurance adjuster who wants to “just check on how everyone’s doing” while building a recording designed to shrink what your family is owed. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are trial lawyers who take Texas car crash cases, and this page is written for the person sitting in that Lubbock waiting room or at a kitchen table in Odessa at two in the morning, trying to understand what happens next.
