A 22-Year-Old Man Is Gone Because Someone Crossed the Center Line on FM 1788 — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now You are reading this because someone you love is not coming home. A 22-year-old man from Midland was driving north on Farm-to-Market Road 1788 in Andrews County on a Friday morning in late June 2026, and a cargo van coming the other direction pulled out to pass — into his lane, into his path, into the last seconds of his life. The Texas Department of Public Safety has already said, in its preliminary findings, that the van’s driver attempted to pass another southbound vehicle on the left “when it was unsafe to do so.” That is not a euphemism. That is a description of a man who drove his vehicle into oncoming traffic and killed someone. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happens next — what the law allows, what the insurance company is already doing, what evidence is disappearing while you read this, and what the single most important question in this case turns out to be. None of it is guesswork. All of it is what we have spent decades…

When the Machine You Trusted Takes Your Leg — Motorcycle Product Liability in Odessa, Ector County You bought a new motorcycle from a dealership on West Highway 80 in Odessa. You paid premium money for a premium bike — a 2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide, the top of their custom line. Within weeks, the electrical system started acting up: the radio cutting out, the phone disconnecting, and at least once, the engine losing power. You took it back. Three or four times, you took it back. You told them you did not want it anymore. They told you it was not a big problem and could be fixed. They did not fix it. They did not tell you about any defects or recalls. And then on May 4, 2024, the motorcycle suddenly and without warning lost all power — and you were thrown from it. You lost your right leg below the knee. We are writing this page for the person sitting in a rehabilitation room right now, or the family member searching at 2 a.m. for answers about what happened on that road in the Permian Basin.

The Andrews County Crash: What Happened on That Two-Lane Highway — and What the Law Says About It If you are reading this because someone you love was killed or critically injured in a head-on collision on a rural Texas highway, you are in a moment that no one should have to face alone. Nine people died on a two-lane road in Andrews County on the evening of March 15, 2022 — six students and a coach from a university golf team, the driver of the pickup that crossed into their path, and a thirteen-year-old boy riding with him. Two more students were flown by helicopter to a trauma center in Lubbock, more than a hundred miles away. Both vehicles caught fire. The road’s speed limit was seventy-five miles per hour, and there was no center barrier separating the opposing lanes. We are writing this because the legal questions a crash like this raises are not simple, and the answers matter to every family who has ever lost someone on a rural two-lane highway in West Texas. This page is legal information, not legal advice — and we are not the counsel of record for anyone involved in this specific…

If Someone You Love Was on That Union Pacific Train — or Inside the Chamber of Commerce When It Came Through the Wall You are reading this because something broke on December 18, 2024, in Pecos, and it took someone from you. A Union Pacific freight train hit a tractor-trailer that was sitting on the tracks at the Dot Stafford Street crossing, just off U.S. Highway 285. The train derailed. Two crew members are dead. Three more people are hurt — some of them were inside the town’s Chamber of Commerce building when the train hit it. The National Transportation Safety Board has a team on the ground. The crossing is being repaired. The trucking company that put that trailer on the tracks has not been publicly identified.

Pecos, Texas Train-Truck Collision: Your Legal Rights After the Union Pacific Crash That Killed Two Railroad Workers The phone call came on a Wednesday in December. Your husband, your father, your son went to work for the railroad that morning the way he had a thousand mornings before, and this time he did not come home. A tractor-trailer hauling heavy equipment through the Permian Basin sat stopped on the railway crossing in Pecos for about a minute — long enough for the Union Pacific train crew to see it, slam the emergency brakes, and know that sixty-eight miles an hour was not going to be enough. Two railroad employees died. Three people in a building nearby were hurt. And in the hours since, the National Transportation Safety Board has recovered the train’s data recorder and opened an investigation that will take months to complete — while the evidence that decides who pays for this, and how much, is already beginning to disappear. We are Attorney911, The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death and catastrophic commercial-vehicle cases in Texas. This page is for the families of the two Union Pacific employees who were killed, for the people who were inside…
