Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers in Taylor, Texas | Attorney911

If You’ve Been Injured in a Taylor Car Accident, We’re Here to Fight for You

Every 57 seconds, another motor vehicle crash occurs in Texas. In Williamson County and the greater Austin area, these accidents happen on familiar roads like US-79, SH-95, and the busy I-35 corridor. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Taylor car accident, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face this crisis by yourself.

At Attorney911, we understand the overwhelming fear and confusion that follows a serious accident. With over 25 years of experience serving Central Texas, our team—led by Ralph Manginello and former insurance defense attorney Lupe Peña—has recovered millions for accident victims across Williamson County, from Taylor to Round Rock and beyond.

The Reality of Car Accidents in Taylor and Williamson County

Texas saw 251,977 people injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2024—that’s one person injured every 2 minutes and 5 seconds. In Williamson County alone, thousands of families face the aftermath of collisions that change lives in an instant.

Common causes of accidents in our area include:

Distracted driving on busy routes like US-79 and SH-95
Speeding through Taylor’s residential neighborhoods
Failure to yield at intersections like Main Street and Second Street
Drunk driving, especially on weekends
Fatigued driving from long commutes on I-35

These accidents often result in serious injuries that require immediate medical attention and long-term care.

Common Injuries from Taylor Car Accidents

After a collision, you might not feel pain immediately due to adrenaline masking your injuries. However, many accident victims later discover they’ve suffered:

Whiplash and soft tissue injuries – Often dismissed as “minor” but can cause chronic pain
Herniated discs – Frequently requiring surgery and months of rehabilitation
Broken bones and fractures – Common in high-impact collisions
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) – Can have delayed symptoms like memory loss or personality changes
Spinal cord injuries – Potentially leading to partial or complete paralysis
Internal organ damage – Requiring emergency surgery
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – Affecting 32-45% of accident victims

One of our clients suffered a leg injury in a car accident that later developed staff infections during treatment, ultimately requiring partial amputation. This case settled in the millions—demonstrating that what might seem like a “minor” injury can have life-altering consequences.

Why Insurance Companies Are Already Working Against You

Within hours of your accident, insurance adjusters will begin building their case to minimize your claim. They may call you while you’re still in the hospital or on pain medication, sounding friendly and helpful. But make no mistake: their goal is to pay you as little as possible.

Common insurance tactics we see in Taylor cases include:

Quick settlement offers – Often for just a fraction of what your case is worth
Recorded statements – Designed to get you to say something that hurts your claim
“Independent” medical exams – Actually performed by doctors hired by insurance companies
Surveillance – Watching your every move, hoping to catch you doing something that contradicts your injuries
Delay tactics – Hoping you’ll get desperate and accept a low offer

Lupe Peña, our associate attorney, spent years working for insurance companies. He knows exactly how they value claims because he used to calculate them himself. Now, he uses that insider knowledge to fight for victims like you.

“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.” – Lupe Peña

Texas Car Accident Law: What You Need to Know

Statute of Limitations

In Texas, you have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is absolute—miss it, and you lose your right to compensation forever.

Comparative Negligence (51% Rule)

Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system. If you’re found to be 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages (reduced by your percentage of fault). If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

Insurance companies will try to blame you for the accident to reduce their payment. Having a former insurance defense attorney on your side means we can counter their arguments effectively.

Minimum Insurance Requirements

Texas requires minimum coverage of:

$30,000 per person for bodily injury
$60,000 per accident for bodily injury
$25,000 for property damage

Many drivers carry only the minimum, which often isn’t enough to cover serious injuries. That’s why uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is so important.

Types of Compensation You May Recover

After a Taylor car accident, you may be entitled to:

Economic Damages

Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages and lost earning capacity
Property damage
Out-of-pocket expenses

Non-Economic Damages

Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Physical impairment
Disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life

Punitive Damages

In cases of gross negligence (like drunk driving), punitive damages may be available to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior.

The value of your case depends on factors like:

Severity of your injuries
Length of your recovery
Impact on your daily life
Whether you can return to work
Strength of the evidence
Available insurance coverage

Frequently Asked Questions About Taylor Car Accidents

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Taylor?

Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company without consulting an attorney first.

Should I call the police even for a minor accident?

Yes. Always call the police after an accident in Taylor. The police report is critical evidence for your case, and Texas law requires reporting accidents with injuries, deaths, or property damage over $1,000.

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

Absolutely. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately. Adrenaline can mask pain, and some injuries (like traumatic brain injuries) may take days to manifest. Insurance companies use delays in treatment against victims, so get checked immediately.

What information should I collect at the scene?

Other driver’s name, phone number, address, and driver’s license information
Insurance company and policy number
Vehicle make, model, color, and license plate number
Witness names and contact information
Photos of all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, and traffic signals

Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?

Exchange information only. Do not discuss fault, apologize, or give your opinion on what happened. Stick to the facts and avoid saying anything that could be used against you later.

How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?

In Taylor, you can obtain the police report from the responding law enforcement agency or through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS).

Should I give a recorded statement to insurance?

To the other driver’s insurance: No, not without an attorney. To your own insurance: You have a duty to cooperate, but call Attorney911 first for guidance.

What if the other driver’s insurance contacts me?

Say: “I need to speak with my attorney first.” Give only basic information (name, date of accident). Do not give a recorded statement, discuss injuries, or discuss fault.

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

No. Their estimate is just an offer, usually far below what your case is actually worth. Attorney911 fights for what you truly deserve.

Should I accept a quick settlement offer?

Never accept a settlement before knowing the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign a release, you cannot get more money even if you need surgery later.

What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?

Your own UM/UIM coverage can compensate you. Watch our video on uninsured motorists at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8 to learn more.

Why does insurance want me to sign a medical authorization?

They want unlimited access to your entire medical history to find pre-existing conditions to use against you. Never sign without attorney review.

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

When should I hire a car accident lawyer?

Immediately. Evidence disappears daily, and insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 as soon as possible.

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

In Texas, you have 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims and 2 years from the date of death for wrongful death claims. Miss this deadline, and your case is barred forever.

What is comparative negligence and how does it affect me?

Texas uses the 51% bar rule. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages (reduced by your percentage of fault). If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.

What happens if I was partially at fault?

You can still recover if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re 20% at fault in a $100,000 case, you’d recover $80,000.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but Attorney911 prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. This gives us maximum leverage in negotiations. Watch our video “Will Your Case Go to Trial?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed5AnmCMcc.

How long will my case take to settle?

It depends on the severity of your injuries. We don’t settle until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (MMI), which could be 6 months for minor injuries or 18-24 months for serious injuries.

What is the legal process step-by-step?

Investigation and evidence gathering
Medical treatment to MMI
Demand letter to insurance
Negotiation
Lawsuit if necessary
Discovery
Mediation
Trial if needed

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

What is my case worth?

It depends on factors like injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, permanent impairment, pain and suffering, and available insurance. Cases range from $15,000 (soft tissue) to millions (catastrophic injury).

What types of damages can I recover?

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Physical impairment
Disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life
Property damage

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).

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover if the accident aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition. This is called the “eggshell plaintiff” rule—defendants take victims as they find them.

Will I have to pay taxes on my settlement?

Generally, compensation for physical injuries is not taxable. Punitive damages are taxable. Consult a tax professional for specific advice.

How is the value of my claim determined?

Based on medical bills, future treatment costs, lost income, permanent impairment rating, comparable verdicts, severity of injuries, and impact on daily life.

How much do car accident lawyers cost?

Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case. If we recover compensation for you, our fee is a percentage of the recovery. You may still be responsible for court costs and case expenses regardless of outcome. Free consultation available to discuss fee structure.

What does “no fee unless we win” mean?

You pay zero unless we recover money for you. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. We advance all case costs.

How often will I get updates?

Attorney911 provides regular updates. 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 said: “You are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”

What if I already hired another attorney?

You can switch. As client 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 common mistakes can hurt my case?

Giving a recorded statement without an attorney
Accepting a quick settlement
Delaying medical treatment
Gaps in treatment
Posting on social media
Signing releases or authorizations
Not documenting everything

Watch our video “Client Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Case” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3IYsoxOSxY.

Should I post about my accident on social media?

No. Make all profiles private. Don’t post about the accident, injuries, or activities. Insurance companies monitor everything.

Why shouldn’t I sign anything without a lawyer?

Releases are permanent. Medical authorizations give unlimited access. Settlement offers are binding. Once signed, you can’t undo it.

What if I didn’t see a doctor right away?

See one now. Explain you didn’t realize the severity of your injuries. Delayed symptoms are common, and we can still help.

What if I have a pre-existing condition?

You can still recover. If the accident aggravated your pre-existing condition, you’re entitled to compensation for the aggravation. The “eggshell plaintiff” rule means defendants take victims as they find them.

For example, if you had mild occasional back pain before the accident but now have a herniated disc requiring surgery, you can recover for the new injury, not just the pre-existing pain. We hire medical experts to prove the difference.

Lupe Peña knows how insurance companies attack pre-existing conditions—he used this defense for years when he worked for insurance companies.

Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current lawyer?

Yes. You can fire your attorney at any time. If your current lawyer isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pushing you to settle for less than your case is worth, you have the right to switch.

Attorney911 has taken over many cases from other attorneys. As Greg Garcia shared: “In the beginning I had another attorney but he dropped my case although Mangiello law firm were able to help me out.”

When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, we’ll discuss your situation and explain how we can take over your case.

What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) claims are made against your own insurance when the other driver has no insurance or insufficient insurance. Your insurance company will fight your claim just like the other driver’s insurance would.

You need attorney representation for UM/UIM claims. Texas allows inter-policy stacking (combining multiple UM policies), and Lupe Peña’s insurance knowledge is critical for maximizing your UM/UIM recovery.

Watch our video “Uninsured & Underinsured Motorists” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8 to learn more.

How do you calculate pain and suffering?

The most common method is the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain and suffering.

The multiplier depends on factors like injury severity, permanency, impact on life, and clear liability. For example, $100,000 in medical expenses × a 4 multiplier = $400,000 for pain and suffering.

Lupe Peña calculated these values for years when he worked for insurance companies. He knows how to justify higher multipliers and when the multiplier method undervalues a case.

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

Government claims have special rules. You must file notice within 6 months (much shorter than the 2-year statute of limitations). Sovereign immunity protects government entities, and damage caps may apply.

These cases are complex—you need an experienced attorney. Ralph Manginello has 25+ years of experience, including government litigation. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately—the 6-month deadline is strict.

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

File a police report immediately—hit and run is a criminal offense. Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver is unidentified.

Surveillance footage is critical in hit and run cases. Most footage is deleted within 7-30 days, so we send preservation letters to businesses immediately to secure this evidence.

Texas allows UM stacking, and we’ve recovered substantial settlements in hit and run cases through UM claims. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 as soon as possible—time is critical.

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 injuries. You’re entitled to full recovery regardless of immigration status. Your case is confidential, and we’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses.

Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish, and our team includes bilingual staff. As client Celia Dominguez said: “Especially Miss Zulema, who is always very kind and always translates.”

When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, we’ll protect your rights and your privacy.

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?

You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them (whether it was a friend, family member, or Uber driver). As a passenger, you’re an innocent victim. The driver’s insurance covers passengers, and there are no comparative fault issues (since you weren’t driving).

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 doesn’t eliminate liability, and the insurance policy still applies. The estate may have assets, and wrongful death laws protect both sides.

These cases are emotionally complex but legally straightforward. We handle them with sensitivity while protecting your rights.

Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Taylor, Texas

Car Accidents in Taylor

Car accidents are the most common type of motor vehicle collision in Taylor and Williamson County. With growing traffic on US-79, SH-95, and local roads, accidents happen daily—often with serious consequences.

Common causes of Taylor car accidents include:

Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
Speeding through residential areas
Failure to yield at intersections
Drunk driving, especially on weekends
Fatigued driving from long commutes
Weather-related accidents during Central Texas storms

In a recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections developed during treatment, ultimately leading to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions—showing that what might seem like a “minor” accident can have life-altering consequences.

If you’ve been injured in a Taylor car accident, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation. We don’t get paid unless we win your case.

18-Wheeler and Trucking Accidents in Williamson County

Commercial truck accidents are among the most devastating collisions on Texas roads. With I-35 running through Williamson County and numerous distribution centers in the area, Taylor residents face significant trucking traffic.

In 2024, Texas saw 39,393 commercial motor vehicle crashes, resulting in 608 fatalities and 1,601 serious injuries. Texas accounts for 11% of all fatal truck crashes nationwide.

Trucking accidents are particularly dangerous because:

Trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds (vs. 4,000 pounds for a passenger car)
Multiple parties may be liable (driver, trucking company, cargo loader, manufacturer)
Federal regulations (FMCSA) create additional liability opportunities
Insurance policies are much larger ($750,000 to $5 million+)

At Attorney911, our personal injury attorneys have helped numerous injured individuals and families facing trucking-related wrongful death cases recover millions of dollars in compensation.

Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission is particularly valuable in trucking cases, as these often involve federal regulations and may be filed in federal court. Our firm was also one of the few involved in BP explosion litigation, demonstrating our capability to take on billion-dollar corporations.

If you’ve been injured in a trucking accident in Taylor or anywhere in Williamson County, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately. Electronic data from trucks can be overwritten in as little as 30 days, so time is critical.

Drunk Driving Accidents in Taylor

Drunk driving remains a serious problem in Texas. In 2024, alcohol-impaired driving caused 1,053 deaths—25.37% of all traffic fatalities in the state. Williamson County has seen its share of tragic drunk driving accidents, often occurring on weekends when drivers are returning from Austin bars and restaurants.

Texas has strong dram shop laws (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02) that allow victims to sue establishments that over-serve obviously intoxicated patrons. Signs of obvious intoxication include:

Slurred speech
Bloodshot or glassy eyes
Unsteady gait or stumbling
Impaired coordination
Aggressive or erratic behavior
Strong odor of alcohol

Potentially liable parties include:

Bars and nightclubs
Restaurants serving alcohol
Liquor stores
Event organizers (concerts, festivals)
Social hosts (in limited circumstances)

Drunk driving cases often qualify for punitive damages, which are designed to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior. These cases also frequently involve multiple defendants (the driver and the establishment), increasing the available insurance coverage.

Ralph Manginello’s membership in the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) gives us unique expertise in handling both the criminal and civil aspects of drunk driving cases. We’ve successfully had multiple DWI cases dismissed, demonstrating our investigation skills:

One case was dismissed when we discovered the police department wasn’t properly maintaining breathalyzer machines
Another was dismissed on the day of trial due to missing EMS notes and hospital records
A third was dismissed when video evidence showed our client wasn’t actually drunk

If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver in Taylor, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll investigate every angle, including potential dram shop liability, to maximize your compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents in Williamson County

Motorcycle accidents are particularly devastating, with riders facing a much higher risk of serious injury or death. In 2024, Texas saw 585 motorcyclist fatalities, and 37% of those killed weren’t wearing helmets.

Texas requires helmets for all riders under 21. Riders 21 and older may ride without a helmet if they’ve completed an approved safety course or have $10,000 in medical insurance coverage.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in our area include:

Failure to yield right of way (the most common cause)
Driver inattention or distraction
Unsafe lane changes
Left-turn accidents (T-bone or head-on collisions)
Speeding and reckless driving

Texas’ 51% comparative fault rule is particularly important in motorcycle cases, as insurance companies almost always try to blame the rider. Lupe Peña’s experience is invaluable here—he knows the arguments insurance companies make because he made them for years when he worked for the defense.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Taylor, don’t let the insurance company blame you for the crash. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation. We don’t get paid unless we win your case.

Pedestrian Accidents in Taylor

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users, and Texas has seen a troubling increase in pedestrian fatalities. In 2024, there were 6,095 pedestrian crashes in Texas, resulting in 768 deaths. Pedestrians account for just 1% of crashes but 19% of all roadway deaths.

A critical legal point that many drivers don’t know: pedestrians always have the right-of-way at intersections, even at unmarked crosswalks. The distance between any two intersecting streets is considered a crosswalk, even if it’s not painted.

Common pedestrian injuries include:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Broken pelvis and legs
Internal organ damage
Fatalities

If you or a loved one has been struck by a vehicle in Taylor, call Attorney911 immediately at 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll fight to protect your rights and secure the compensation you need for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft) in Taylor

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have transformed transportation in Williamson County, but they’ve also created complex insurance situations when accidents occur.

The rideshare industry has grown dramatically:

11 billion trips in the US since 2010
17.4 million Uber trips daily
118 million Uber users worldwide

The critical issue in rideshare accidents is determining which insurance policy applies. Coverage varies dramatically based on what the driver was doing at the time of the crash:

Phase	Driver Status	Coverage Available
Period 0 – Offline	App off, personal use	Personal insurance only (Texas minimum: $30K/$60K/$25K)
Period 1 – Waiting	App on, no ride request	Contingent coverage: $50K/$100K/$25K
Period 2 – Accepted	Ride accepted, en route to pickup	Full commercial: $1,000,000 liability
Period 3 – Transporting	Passenger in vehicle	Full commercial: $1,000,000 liability

This complexity means that victims may not know which insurance policy applies to their claim. Lupe Peña’s insurance defense background gives us a significant advantage in navigating these complex situations.

If you’ve been injured in a rideshare accident in Taylor—whether as a passenger, driver, or third party—call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll determine the correct insurance coverage and fight for maximum compensation.

Hit and Run Accidents in Williamson County

Hit and run accidents are particularly frustrating because the at-fault driver flees the scene, leaving victims with injuries and no one to hold accountable. Nationally, someone is involved in a hit and run every 43 seconds.

Texas has severe penalties for hit and run offenses:

Severity	Charge	Penalty
Death	2nd Degree Felony	2-20 years prison, up to $10,000 fine
Serious Bodily Injury	3rd Degree Felony	2-10 years prison, up to $10,000 fine
Minor Injury	State Jail Felony	Up to 5 years, up to $5,000 fine
Property Damage ≥$200	Class B Misdemeanor	Up to 6 months jail, up to $2,000 fine

If you’re the victim of a hit and run in Taylor, your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage can compensate you when the at-fault driver is unidentified. Surveillance footage is critical in these cases, but it’s typically deleted within 7-30 days.

At Attorney911, we immediately send preservation letters to secure this critical evidence. Texas allows UM stacking, and we’ve recovered substantial settlements in hit and run cases through UM claims.

If you’ve been injured in a hit and run accident in Williamson County, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately. Time is critical—evidence disappears quickly.

Tesla and Autonomous Vehicle Accidents in Central Texas

As Tesla vehicles and other autonomous cars become more common in Williamson County, we’re seeing a new type of accident with complex liability issues.

Notable Tesla-related crashes include:

May 2016: First US Autopilot fatality when a Tesla failed to detect a white 18-wheeler
March 2018: Apple engineer Walter Huang killed in a Tesla crash (settled April 2024)
August 2025: $240 million+ jury verdict against Tesla in a landmark case

Key liability arguments in Tesla/Autopilot cases include:

Tesla marketed Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Autopilot as safer than human drivers
Marketing created driver overconfidence and overreliance
Tesla knew the system couldn’t detect emergency vehicles (known defects)
Software updates were used instead of comprehensive fixes (inadequate recall)

NHTSA data shows that Tesla Autopilot accounts for 70% of driver-assist crashes reported to the agency. In December 2023, Tesla recalled over 2 million vehicles due to Autopilot issues.

Ralph Manginello’s federal court admission is particularly valuable in these cases, as they often involve product liability claims against large corporations. Our firm’s involvement in BP explosion litigation also demonstrates our capability to take on complex cases against billion-dollar companies.

If you’ve been injured in a Tesla or other autonomous vehicle accident in Taylor or anywhere in Central Texas, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. These cases require specialized knowledge and experience.

Bicycle Accidents in Taylor

Bicycle accidents are a growing concern in Williamson County as more residents take to the roads for recreation and commuting. In 2024, Texas saw 78 cyclist fatalities, representing a 26.42% decrease from 2023, but still a significant number.

Texas law classifies e-bikes into three categories:

Class	Max Speed	Throttle	Pedal Assist
Class 1	20 mph	No	Yes
Class 2	20 mph	Yes	Yes
Class 3	28 mph	No	Yes

Legal requirements for e-bikes:

No license required for standard e-bikes
No registration required
Motor limit: 750W (1 horsepower) or less
Speed limit: 28 mph maximum assisted speed
No statewide helmet requirement (some cities like Austin require helmets for riders under 17)

If an e-bike exceeds these standards (motor over 750W, speed over 28 mph, or throttle on Class 3), it’s not considered an “electric bicycle” under Texas law and may require registration as a motor vehicle.

Bicycle accident liability can involve:

Motorists who strike cyclists
E-bike manufacturers (product defects like battery fires or brake failures)
Pedestrians struck by e-bikes
Property owners (premises liability for poorly maintained paths)

In October 2024, a Portland jury awarded $1.6 million to an e-bike rider struck by an SUV.

If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident in Taylor, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We don’t get paid unless we win your case.

Construction Zone Accidents in Central Texas

Construction zones are particularly dangerous areas for accidents. In 2024, Texas saw nearly 28,000 crashes in work zones, resulting in 215 deaths—a 12% increase over the previous year.

Work zone fatalities have increased by 50% nationally from 2013 to 2023. A 2025 survey found that:

60% of highway contractors reported crashes into work zones
43% reported worker injuries from work zone crashes

A tragic example occurred when Katrina Bond, a college student, slowed for work zone traffic on I-35 near Fort Worth. The driver of a heavy pickup (who admitted to receiving a text message) rear-ended her vehicle, pushing it into the path of another truck. The accident was fatal.

Work zone accidents often involve:

Speeding through construction areas
Driver distraction
Failure to obey warning signs
Improper lane changes

Delivery Vehicle Accidents (Amazon, UPS, FedEx) in Taylor

Delivery vehicle accidents have become more common with the growth of e-commerce. Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP) program has created additional liability concerns.

Key delivery vehicle verdicts include:

2024: $16.2 million awarded in Georgia after a child was struck by an Amazon delivery van
2024: $105 million in Lopez v. All Points 360 (Amazon DSP case)
2023: Grubhub wrongful death lawsuit in Arizona involving a distracted driver

Amazon DSPs are contractually required to “defend and indemnify” Amazon, but they have a higher safety violation rate than average motor carriers. From August 2023 to August 2025, there were 1,879 crashes involving Amazon-related motor carriers.

Trucks involved in delivery accidents are often three times the size and weight of passenger cars, resulting in more severe injuries. They also typically have $1 million or more in liability insurance coverage.

If you’ve been injured by a delivery vehicle in Taylor—whether from Amazon, UPS, FedEx, or another company—call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We have experience handling these complex cases with multiple liable parties.

Ambulance and Emergency Vehicle Accidents

Accidents involving ambulances and other emergency vehicles present unique liability challenges. These cases often involve:

Complex liability issues
Governmental immunity concerns
Special notice requirements

Emergency vehicles have certain privileges under Texas law, but they must still operate with due regard for public safety. When they fail to do so and cause accidents, victims may have a claim.

If you’ve been injured in an accident involving an emergency vehicle in Taylor, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. These cases require specialized knowledge and immediate action due to notice requirements.

Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Williamson County

Complex liability issues

If you’ve been injured in a commercial vehicle accident in Taylor or anywhere in Williamson County, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We have experience handling these complex cases.

Social media apps (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook)
Streaming services (YouTube, Netflix)
Navigation apps
In-car entertainment systems

Texas law prohibits texting while driving, but many drivers still engage in dangerous distracted behaviors. These accidents often result in serious injuries due to the driver’s delayed reaction time.

If you’ve been injured by a distracted driver in Taylor, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll investigate all potential sources of distraction and fight for maximum compensation.

Weather-Related Accidents in Central Texas

While Texas is known for its warm climate, weather-related accidents still occur, particularly during:

Heavy rain storms
Flash flooding
Rare ice events
Dense fog

Texas drivers are often unprepared for these conditions, leading to accidents when they encounter unexpected weather. These accidents can be particularly dangerous on high-speed roads like I-35.

If you’ve been injured in a weather-related accident in Taylor, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911. We’ll investigate whether the other driver was operating their vehicle safely for the conditions.

The Attorney911 Difference: Why We’re Not Like Other Firms

We Know the Insurance Playbook Because We Wrote It

Most law firms fight against insurance companies. We fight against them with insider knowledge because Lupe Peña used to work for them. He knows:

How they calculate settlement offers
When they’re bluffing about policy limits
How to beat their algorithms

This is our unfair advantage—and it’s yours when you hire Attorney911.

We Prepare Every Case for Trial

Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach gives us maximum leverage in negotiations because insurance companies know we’re not bluffing.

Our trial preparation includes:

Hiring top expert witnesses
Conducting thorough investigations
Building compelling case narratives
Practicing jury selection and voir dire

We Handle the Complex Cases Others Won’t
