Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers in Holland, Texas | Attorney911

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Holland, Texas, you’re not alone. With one motor vehicle crash occurring every 57 seconds in Texas, our roads are dangerous places. At Attorney911, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll an accident can take. That’s why Ralph Manginello, our founding attorney with over 25 years of experience, leads our team in fighting for maximum compensation for accident victims across Bell County and beyond.

Holland sits at the crossroads of several major highways, including US-190 and FM 2268, making it a hub for both local and through traffic. This means residents and visitors alike face increased risks of accidents involving distracted drivers, fatigued truckers, and impaired motorists. Whether you were rear-ended on US-190, sideswiped in a parking lot, or injured by a drunk driver on a weekend night, our Holland car accident lawyers know how to build a strong case for your recovery.

The Reality of Car Accidents in Holland, Texas

In 2024 alone, Texas saw 251,977 people injured in motor vehicle crashes – that’s one person every 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Holland and Bell County aren’t immune to this epidemic. Our firm has handled countless cases from this area, including:

  • Rear-end collisions on US-190 during rush hour
  • Intersection accidents at FM 2268 and FM 436
  • Drunk driving crashes near local restaurants and bars
  • Distracted driving incidents involving cell phone use
  • Weather-related accidents during Texas’s unpredictable storms

When you’re injured in Holland, you need a lawyer who understands both Texas law and the local landscape. Ralph Manginello grew up in Texas and has spent his entire career serving communities like Holland. He knows the courts, the judges, and the insurance adjusters who handle claims in this area. That local knowledge gives our clients a significant advantage.

Common Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Holland

Car Accidents (Our Most Common Case Type)

Car accidents are by far the most common type of motor vehicle collision we handle at Attorney911. In one recent case, our client’s leg was injured in a car accident. Staff infections during treatment led to a partial amputation. This case settled in the millions – proving that even what seems like a “minor” accident can have life-altering consequences.

Common injuries in car accidents include:

  • Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal organ damage
  • Psychological trauma and PTSD

As client Chavodrian Miles shared: “Leonor got me into the doctor the same day…it only took 6 months amazing.” This level of personal attention is what sets Attorney911 apart from high-volume settlement mills.

18-Wheeler and Trucking Accidents

With Holland’s proximity to major highways like US-190 and I-35, trucking accidents are a serious concern. Texas leads the nation in fatal truck crashes, accounting for 11% of all such incidents in the U.S. In 2024 alone, there were 39,393 commercial motor vehicle crashes in Texas, resulting in 608 fatalities and 1,601 serious injuries.

Trucking accidents are particularly devastating due to the size disparity between commercial vehicles (up to 80,000 pounds) and passenger cars (typically 4,000 pounds). 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.

Key factors in trucking cases:

  • Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations
  • Hours of Service (HOS) violations
  • Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data
  • Truck maintenance records
  • Driver qualification files
  • Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loader, etc.)

Ralph Manginello’s admission to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, is particularly valuable in trucking cases, as these often involve federal regulations and may be filed in federal court.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Texas has some of the most lenient drunk driving laws in the country, and the results are tragic. In 2024, alcohol-impaired driving caused 1,053 deaths in Texas – that’s 25.37% of all traffic fatalities. Bell County sees its share of these preventable tragedies, particularly on weekends and holidays.

What many accident victims don’t realize is that in drunk driving cases, you may be able to sue not just the driver, but also the establishment that served them alcohol. Under Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02 (the “dram shop” law), bars, restaurants, and even liquor stores can be held liable if they served alcohol to someone who was obviously intoxicated.

Signs of obvious intoxication include:

  • Slurred speech
  • Bloodshot or glassy eyes
  • Stumbling or unsteady gait
  • Strong odor of alcohol
  • Aggressive or inappropriate behavior
  • Difficulty counting money or handling objects

Our firm’s involvement in the BP explosion litigation demonstrates our capability to take on large corporations, including bars and restaurants in dram shop cases. Ralph Manginello is also a member of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA), which gives us unique insight into both the criminal and civil aspects of drunk driving cases.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks on Holland’s roads. In 2024, there were 585 motorcyclist fatalities in Texas, with 37% of those killed not wearing helmets. While Texas law only requires helmets for riders under 21 or those without adequate medical insurance, wearing one reduces your risk of death by 37% and head injury by 69%.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in this area include:

  • Drivers failing to yield right-of-way
  • Left-turn accidents at intersections
  • Distracted drivers not seeing motorcycles
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Speeding and reckless driving

Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists for their own injuries, citing Texas’s 51% comparative fault rule. Lupe Peña, our associate attorney and former insurance defense lawyer, knows exactly how insurance companies build these arguments – because he used to make them. Now he uses that insider knowledge to protect our clients.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users, and Holland’s growing community means more people walking near roadways. In 2024, Texas saw 6,095 pedestrian crashes resulting in 768 deaths. That means pedestrians account for just 1% of crashes but 19% of all roadway fatalities.

A critical legal point that many drivers don’t understand: pedestrians always have the right-of-way at intersections in Texas, even at unmarked crosswalks. Anywhere two streets intersect, the space between them is considered a crosswalk – even if there are no painted lines.

Common injuries in pedestrian accidents include:

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

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have become common in Holland and surrounding areas, but their insurance coverage is complex. The amount of coverage available depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the accident:

Phase Driver Status Coverage Available
0 App off, personal use Driver’s personal insurance only ($30k/$60k/$25k minimum)
1 App on, waiting for ride request $50k/$100k/$25k contingent coverage
2 Ride accepted, en route to pickup $1,000,000 commercial coverage
3 Passenger in vehicle $1,000,000 commercial coverage

This means if you’re injured by a rideshare driver who’s waiting for a ride request (Phase 1), you may only have $50,000 in coverage available – not nearly enough for serious injuries. Lupe Peña’s insurance defense background is invaluable in navigating these complex coverage issues.

Hit and Run Accidents

Hit and run accidents are particularly frustrating because the at-fault driver flees the scene. In Texas, leaving the scene of an accident is a serious crime:

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 2 years, up to $10,000 fine
Property Damage ≥$200 Class B Misdemeanor Up to 180 days jail, up to $2,000 fine

If you’re the victim of a hit and run in Holland, your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can compensate you when the at-fault driver is never identified. This is one of the most important coverages to have, yet many drivers don’t understand how it works.

As client Donald Wilcox experienced: “One company said they would not except my case. Then I got a call from Manginello…I got a call to come pick up this handsome check.” Our firm knows how to maximize UM/UIM claims to ensure you’re fully compensated.

Work Zone Accidents

With ongoing road construction in Bell County, work zone accidents are a growing concern. In 2024, Texas saw nearly 28,000 crashes in work zones, resulting in 215 deaths – a 12% increase over the previous year. Construction zones are particularly dangerous because:

  • Traffic patterns change suddenly
  • Speed limits are reduced but often ignored
  • Workers are present in close proximity to traffic
  • Equipment and materials create hazards

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

At Attorney911, we understand the unique challenges of work zone accident cases, including the need to preserve evidence quickly before construction equipment is moved and traffic patterns change.

What to Do Immediately After an Accident in Holland

The First 48 Hours Are Critical

Evidence disappears quickly after an accident. Here’s what you should do:

Hour 1-6 (Immediate Crisis):

  • Call 911 and report the accident
  • Seek medical attention even if you feel fine (adrenaline masks injuries)
  • Document everything: photos of vehicle damage, injuries, and the scene
  • Exchange information with the other driver(s)
  • Get names and phone numbers of witnesses
  • Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company
  • Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance

Hour 6-24 (Evidence Preservation):

  • Preserve all texts, calls, photos, and videos related to the accident
  • Secure damaged clothing, glasses, or other personal items
  • Request copies of all medical records
  • Note any calls from insurance companies but don’t engage
  • Make all social media profiles private immediately

Hour 24-48 (Strategic Decisions):

  • Consult with an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney
  • If insurance contacts you, refer them to your attorney
  • Do NOT accept or sign any settlement offers
  • Upload all evidence to secure cloud storage

Week One Priorities:

  • Continue documenting all injuries and treatments
  • Attorney911 will begin investigation:
    • Obtain police reports
    • Send preservation letters to all parties
    • Secure surveillance footage before deletion
    • Interview witnesses
    • Identify all insurance policies

Evidence Deterioration Timeline

Time Period What Disappears
1-7 days Witness memories begin fading, skid marks fade
7-30 days Surveillance footage deleted (gas stations, businesses)
30-180 days ELD/black box data from trucks can be overwritten
2-6 months Witnesses become harder to locate, memories degrade
6-12 months Insurance companies solidify their defense position
12-24 months Approaching statute of limitations creates pressure

As client Tymesha Galloway shared: “Leonor is the best!!! She was able to assist me with my case within 6 months.” This speed is crucial because evidence is disappearing every day.

Texas Motor Vehicle Law: What Holland Accident Victims 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 your case is barred forever. For wrongful death claims, the 2-year clock starts from the date of death.

Comparative Negligence (51% Bar Rule)

Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system. This means:

  • 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

Insurance companies love to use this rule to reduce their payments. For example:

  • If you’re 10% at fault in a $100,000 case, you recover $90,000
  • If you’re 25% at fault in a $250,000 case, you recover $187,500
  • If you’re 51% at fault, you recover $0

Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense attorney, knows exactly how insurance companies build these arguments – because he used to make them. Now he uses that knowledge to protect our clients.

Texas Minimum Auto Insurance Requirements

Texas requires all drivers to carry at least:

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

Unfortunately, many drivers carry only the minimum, and 15.4% of Texas drivers are uninsured. That’s why Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is so important.

Dram Shop Liability

Under Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02, bars, restaurants, and liquor stores can be held liable if they serve alcohol to someone who is obviously intoxicated and that person then causes an accident. This is particularly relevant in Holland, where local establishments may serve patrons who then drive on US-190 or other roads.

Proving Liability: How We Build Your Case

To win your case, we must prove four elements of negligence:

  1. Duty of Care – The other driver had a legal obligation to operate their vehicle safely
  2. Breach of Duty – They violated that duty through action or inaction
  3. Causation – Their breach directly caused your injuries
  4. Damages – You suffered actual harm (physical, financial, emotional)

Types of Evidence We Use

Physical Evidence:

  • Vehicle damage photographs
  • Skid marks and road debris
  • Damaged personal property
  • Weather and road condition documentation

Documentary Evidence:

  • Police accident reports
  • 911 call recordings
  • Traffic and surveillance camera footage
  • Medical records and bills
  • Employment records (for lost wage claims)
  • Cell phone records (proving distraction)

Electronic Evidence:

  • Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data from trucks
  • Vehicle black box/Event Data Recorder (EDR)
  • GPS and telematics data
  • Dashcam footage
  • Social media activity

Testimonial Evidence:

  • Witness statements
  • Expert witness testimony
  • Medical expert opinions
  • Accident reconstruction specialists

Multiple Liable Parties

In many accidents, more than one party may be responsible. For example:

  • Trucking accidents: Driver, trucking company, cargo loader, vehicle manufacturer
  • Rideshare accidents: Driver, rideshare company, other at-fault drivers
  • Drunk driving accidents: Driver, bar/restaurant, liquor store

More liable parties mean more insurance policies to pursue, increasing your potential recovery.

Damages and Compensation: What You Can Recover

Types of Damages

Economic Damages (No Cap in Texas):

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Out-of-pocket expenses (transportation, home modifications, etc.)

Non-Economic Damages (No Cap Except Medical Malpractice):

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Physical impairment
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium (impact on marriage/family relationships)
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Punitive/Exemplary Damages (Capped):

  • Available for gross negligence, fraud, or malice
  • Common in drunk driving cases
  • Capped at the greater of $200,000 or (2x economic damages + 1x non-economic damages up to $750,000)

Settlement Ranges by Injury Type

Injury Type Medical Costs Lost Wages Pain & Suffering Total Settlement Range
Soft Tissue (Whiplash) $6,000-$16,000 $2,000-$10,000 $8,000-$35,000 $15,000-$60,000
Broken Bone (Simple) $10,000-$20,000 $5,000-$15,000 $20,000-$60,000 $35,000-$95,000
Broken Bone (Surgery) $47,000-$98,000 $10,000-$30,000 $75,000-$200,000 $132,000-$328,000
Herniated Disc (Conservative) $22,000-$46,000 $8,000-$25,000 $40,000-$100,000 $70,000-$171,000
Herniated Disc (Surgery) $96,000-$205,000 $20,000-$50,000 $150,000-$450,000 $346,000-$1,205,000
Traumatic Brain Injury $198,000-$638,000 $50,000-$200,000 $500,000-$3,000,000 $1,548,000-$9,838,000
Spinal Cord Injury $500,000-$750,000 (first year) $50,000-$200,000 $1,000,000-$5,000,000 $4,770,000-$25,880,000
Amputation $170,000-$480,000 $50,000-$200,000 $500,000-$3,000,000 $1,945,000-$8,630,000
Wrongful Death $50,000-$500,000 (medical) $1,000,000-$4,000,000 (lost support) $850,000-$5,000,000 $1,910,000-$9,520,000

These ranges are general guidelines. Your actual case value depends on many factors, including:

  • Severity and permanency of injuries
  • Impact on your daily life and ability to work
  • Clear liability (was the other party 100% at fault?)
  • Insurance coverage available
  • Quality of your legal representation

At Attorney911, we’ve recovered multi-million dollar settlements for clients with catastrophic injuries. In one case, our client suffered a brain injury with vision loss when a log dropped on him at a logging company. This case settled for multiple millions of dollars.

Insurance Company Tactics: How They Try to Cheat You

Insurance companies are not your friends. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible – ideally nothing. Lupe Peña, our associate attorney, spent years working for a national insurance defense firm. He knows all their tactics because he used them himself. Now he uses that insider knowledge to fight for our clients.

Tactic #1: Quick Contact & Recorded Statement

What They Do:
Within hours or days of your accident, an insurance adjuster will call you. They’ll sound friendly and helpful, saying things like:

  • “We just want to help you”
  • “We need your side of the story”
  • “This is routine, everyone does this”
  • “It’ll only take a few minutes”

What They’re Really Doing:
They’re building their defense against you. They’ll ask leading questions designed to get you to say things that hurt your case:

Their Question What They Want You to Say
“You’re feeling better now, right?” That your injuries are improving
“It wasn’t that bad of an impact, was it?” That your injuries aren’t serious
“You were able to walk away from the scene?” That you weren’t really hurt
“Were you distracted at all?” That you were partially at fault
“How fast were you going?” That you were speeding

Everything you say is recorded, transcribed, and used against you. You cannot take it back.

How Attorney911 Counters:

  • We tell clients: DO NOT give a recorded statement without us.
  • Once you hire us, all calls go through our office.
  • We prepare you properly if a statement becomes necessary.
  • We know their questions because Lupe asked them for years.

Tactic #2: Quick Settlement Offer

What They Do:
Within days or weeks, they’ll offer you quick money:

  • $2,000-$5,000 for what seems like a “minor” accident
  • $10,000-$15,000 if they’re worried about your injuries
  • They’ll create artificial urgency: “This offer expires in 48 hours”

The Trap:
You don’t know the full extent of your injuries yet. What seems minor now could require surgery later. Once you sign a release, you can’t get more money – even if you discover you need surgery.

Real Example:

  • Day 3: Insurance offers $3,500 “final settlement”
  • You’re desperate, in pain, scared about bills
  • You sign the release
  • Week 6: MRI shows herniated disc requiring $100,000 surgery
  • TOO LATE – You signed the release
  • You pay $100,000 out of pocket

How Attorney911 Counters:

  • NEVER settle before Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
  • MMI is when you’ve reached your best possible recovery
  • Could be 6 months, 12 months, or longer
  • We know their offers are always lowball
  • Lupe calculated these offers for years – he knows they’re offering 10-20% of true value

Tactic #3: “Independent” Medical Exam (IME)

What They Call It:
“Independent Medical Examination”

What It Really Is:
A doctor hired and paid by the insurance company to minimize your injuries.

How They Choose IME Doctors:

  • Based on who gives insurance-favorable reports
  • Doctors who consistently find “no injury” or “pre-existing condition”
  • Doctors paid $2,000-$5,000 per exam by insurance companies
  • Repeat business = repeat favorable reports

What Happens at the IME:

  • 10-15 minute “examination”
  • Rarely review your complete medical records
  • Ask questions designed to get you to say “I’m feeling better”
  • Look for any reason to minimize your injuries

Common IME Doctor Findings:

What They Say What It Means
“Patient has pre-existing degenerative changes” Everyone over 40 has some arthritis – used to deny claims
“Injuries consistent with minor trauma” Minimizes your pain and suffering
“Patient can return to full duty work” Eliminates lost wage claims
“Treatment has been excessive” Attacks your treating doctors
“Subjective complaints out of proportion to objective findings” Medical speak for calling you a LIAR

How Attorney911 Counters:

  • We prepare you extensively before the exam
  • We send complete medical records to the IME doctor first
  • We challenge biased IME reports with our own medical experts
  • Lupe knows these specific doctors and their biases – he hired them for years

Tactic #4: Delay and Financial Pressure

What They Do:
They drag your case out, hoping you’ll get desperate:

  • “Still investigating your claim”
  • “Waiting for medical records” (that we sent months ago)
  • “Reviewing your file”
  • “Need additional information”
  • Ignore calls and emails
  • Take weeks to respond to simple questions

Why Delay Works:

  • They have unlimited time and resources
  • They earn interest on your settlement money while delaying
  • You have mounting bills, no income, creditors threatening
  • Financial desperation makes you accept less

What Happens Over Time:

  • Month 1: You’d reject $5,000 offer
  • Month 6: You’d seriously consider $5,000
  • Month 12: You’d BEG for $5,000 just to end the nightmare

How Attorney911 Counters:

  • We file lawsuits to force deadlines
  • We set depositions to make them produce witnesses
  • We prepare for trial to show we’re serious
  • Lupe understands delay tactics because he used them – knows when to push

Tactic #5: Surveillance and Social Media Monitoring

What They Do:

  • Hire private investigators to video you
  • Film from public places (your driveway, street, stores)
  • Follow you to appointments, errands, social activities
  • Look for ANY activity that contradicts your injury claims
  • One video of you bending over = “Not really injured”

They Monitor ALL Your Social Media:

  • Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat
  • Screenshot EVERYTHING: photos, posts, check-ins, comments, likes
  • Monitor your friends’ profiles for posts mentioning you
  • Use facial recognition to find photos you’re tagged in
  • Archive your entire social media history

Examples We’ve Defended:

Example What Happened What Insurance Claimed Reality
Old Gym Photo Photo from 3 years ago Presented as recent, contradicts injury We proved metadata was pre-accident
Restaurant Check-in Facebook check-in “Partying and having fun” Sitting quietly having dinner
Friend’s Comment Friend posted “Had fun yesterday!” Evidence of non-injury Client was resting at home
Walking Dog Video of client walking dog slowly “Not disabled” Doctor recommended short walks
Smiling in Photo Family photo smiling “Not in pain – she’s smiling!” Everyone smiles for photos

7 Rules for Clients:

  1. Make ALL profiles private immediately
  2. DON’T post about accident, injuries, activities, emotions, or case
  3. DON’T check in anywhere
  4. Tell friends/family: don’t tag, don’t post about you
  5. Don’t accept friend requests from strangers (fake profiles)
  6. BEST: Stay off social media entirely during your case
  7. Assume EVERYTHING is being monitored

Lupe’s Insider Quote:

“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.”

Tactic #6: Comparative Fault Arguments

What They Do:
They try to assign you maximum fault to reduce their payment:

  • “You were speeding” (without evidence)
  • “You weren’t paying attention” (speculation)
  • “You could have avoided this” (hindsight bias)
  • “You were distracted” (guessing)
  • “You contributed to this accident” (shifting blame)

Why They Do This:
Texas’s 51% bar rule means:

  • If you’re 51%+ at fault → You get NOTHING
  • If you’re 50% or less at fault → Your damages are reduced by your percentage

Even Small Fault Percentages Cost Thousands:

  • 10% fault on $100,000 case = $10,000 less for you
  • 25% fault on $250,000 case = $62,500 less for you
  • 40% fault on $500,000 case = $200,000 less for you

How Attorney911 Counters:

  • Aggressive liability investigation
  • Accident reconstruction proving the other driver’s fault
  • Witness statements supporting your version
  • Police report analysis emphasizing citations
  • Expert testimony on perception-reaction time
  • Lupe knows their fault arguments because he made them for years – now he defeats them

The Colossus System: How Insurance Companies Really Value Your Claim

What Is Colossus?
Colossus is a software system used by Allstate, State Farm, Liberty Mutual, and other major insurers to calculate claim values. Lupe Peña used this system when he worked for a national defense firm.

How It Works:

  1. Adjuster inputs injury codes, treatment types, medical costs, lost wages, jurisdiction
  2. Software applies algorithms to determine “value”
  3. System outputs recommended settlement range
  4. Adjuster typically cannot exceed this range without approval

How They Manipulate Colossus:

Manipulation Effect
Low Injury Codes “Soft tissue strain” instead of “disc herniation” reduces value 50-100%
Excessive Treatment Flags Therapy beyond “normal” range triggers reduction
Conservative Treatment Penalty Chiropractic valued less than MD treatment
Pre-Existing Reduction Any prior condition used to reduce value
Jurisdiction Factor Low-verdict counties get lower values

Why Lupe’s Experience Matters:

  • Knows how to code injuries properly for maximum value
  • Knows which medical terms trigger higher valuations
  • Knows when Colossus output is artificially low
  • Knows how to present records to beat the algorithm
  • Worked with these systems for years as a defense attorney

Reserve Setting:
Insurance companies set “reserves” – money set aside for your claim based on worst-case scenario. Adjusters usually can’t settle for more than the reserve without approval.

How We Increase Reserves:

  • Hiring experts (shows we’re investing in the case)
  • Taking depositions (creates litigation expense)
  • Filing lawsuit (forces trial evaluation)
  • Preparing for trial (shows we won’t back down)

Lupe understands reserve psychology and settlement authority limits – this is a game-changing advantage.

Medical Knowledge: Understanding Your Injuries

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Immediate vs. Delayed Symptoms:

Immediate Symptoms (At Accident Scene or Within Hours):

  • Loss of consciousness (even brief – seconds to minutes)
  • Confusion and disorientation (“Where am I? What happened?”)
  • Vomiting and nausea
  • Seizures
  • Severe headache
  • Dilated pupils
  • Slurred speech
  • Weakness or numbness

Delayed Symptoms (Hours to Days Later – CRITICAL):

  • Worsening headaches that don’t respond to medication
  • Repeated vomiting
  • Seizures developing days later
  • Slurred speech or difficulty speaking
  • Personality changes and mood swings
  • Sleep disturbances (sleeping much more or can’t sleep)
  • Sensitivity to light and noise
  • Confusion and memory problems worsening

Why Delayed Symptoms Matter Legally:
Insurance companies claim delayed symptoms aren’t from the accident. We use medical experts to explain that symptom progression is normal for brain injuries.

Severity Classifications:

Classification Characteristics
Mild TBI / Concussion Brief LOC (seconds to minutes), GCS 13-15, may seem “fine” initially
Moderate TBI LOC minutes to hours, GCS 9-12, lasting cognitive impairment
Severe TBI Extended unconsciousness or coma, GCS 3-8, permanent disability likely

Long-Term Complications:

  • Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE): Progressive brain degeneration, personality changes, dementia
  • Post-Concussive Syndrome: Headaches, dizziness lasting months or years (affects 10-15%)
  • Increased Dementia Risk: Single moderate TBI doubles dementia risk later in life
  • Personality and Mood Disorders: Depression (40-50% of TBI patients), anxiety, irritability
  • Seizure Disorders: Can develop months or years after injury
  • Cognitive Impairment: Memory problems, difficulty concentrating, slowed processing

Spinal Cord Injury

Injury Levels and Impact:

Cervical Spine (C1-C8, Neck Region):

  • C1-C4 (High Cervical): Quadriplegia (all four limbs paralyzed), possible ventilator dependence, 24/7 care required
  • C5-C8 (Low Cervical): Quadriplegia with some arm/hand function, wheelchair dependent

Thoracic Spine (T1-T12, Mid-Back):

Why Choose Attorney911 for Your Holland Accident Case

When you’re injured in Holland, Texas, you have many options for legal representation. But Attorney911 offers advantages no other firm can match. Here’s why we’re the right choice for your motor vehicle accident case:

1. Insurance Defense Insider Advantage

“Lupe Peña worked for a number of years at a national defense firm, learning firsthand how large insurance companies value claims.”

This is our most powerful advantage. Lupe spent years working FOR insurance companies, learning:

  • How they calculate claim values (Colossus software)
  • Their settlement authority structures
  • Their delay and financial pressure tactics
  • How they select IME doctors
  • Their surveillance and investigation methods
  • Their comparative fault arguments

Now he uses that knowledge FOR victims, not against them.

As client Chad Harris shared: “You are NOT a pest to them and you are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.” This personal attention, combined with our insider knowledge, gives our clients an unfair advantage.

2. Multi-Million Dollar Results

Our results prove we don’t settle cheap. We’ve recovered millions for clients with:

  • Brain injuries: “Multi-million dollar settlement for client who suffered brain injury with vision loss”
  • Amputations: “This case settled in the millions”
  • Trucking wrongful death: “Recovered millions of dollars in compensation”
  • Maritime injuries: “Significant cash settlement”

These aren’t empty promises – they’re documented results. As client Glenda Walker said: “They fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

3. Federal Court Experience

Ralph Manginello is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas. This is crucial because:

  • Complex cases often end up in federal court
  • FMCSA trucking regulations are federal
  • Diversity jurisdiction applies when parties are from different states
  • Federal court requires different skills than state court

Our involvement in the BP explosion litigation demonstrates our capability to take on billion-dollar corporations in complex litigation.

4. Personal Attention You Won’t Find Elsewhere

At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello or Lupe Peña – not a case manager assembly line. As client Jamin Marroquin described: “Mr. Manginello guided me through the whole process with great expertise…tenacious, accessible, and determined throughout the 19 months.”

This personal attention is what sets us apart from high-volume firms where you’re just a number. As client Ambur Hamilton shared: “I never felt like ‘just another case’ they were working on.”

5. Contingency Fee – No Risk to You

“We don’t get paid unless we win your case.”

  • Free consultation – no obligation
  • No upfront costs – we advance all expenses
  • You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you

This means you can get top-tier legal representation without any financial risk. As client Donald Wilcox experienced: “One company said they would not except my case. Then I got a call from Manginello…I got a call to come pick up this handsome check.”

6. Spanish Language Services

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

We ensure language is never a barrier to justice. Whether you’re more comfortable in English or Spanish, we communicate clearly and compassionately throughout your case.

7. Local Knowledge of Holland and Bell County

We understand the unique challenges of Holland accident cases:

  • The dangerous intersections along US-190 and FM 2268
  • The local courts that handle personal injury cases
  • The insurance adjusters who work in this area
  • The local hospitals and medical providers
  • The specific accident patterns in this community

Ralph Manginello’s deep Texas roots – he grew up in the Houston area and has practiced law in Texas since 1998 – give us a local advantage that out-of-town firms simply can’t match.

8. Comprehensive Case Handling

We handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on recovery:

  • Medical treatment coordination
  • Evidence preservation and collection
  • Insurance negotiations
  • Legal filings and court appearances
  • Expert witness coordination
  • Settlement negotiations
  • Trial preparation (if necessary)

As client Stephanie Hernandez said: “When I felt I had no hope or direction, Leonor reached out to me…She took all the weight of my worries off my shoulders.”

9. Trial-Ready Approach

While most cases settle, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This approach gives us leverage in negotiations because insurance companies know we’re not bluffing. Our trial readiness is one reason we’ve recovered multi-million dollar settlements for our clients.

10. Community Trust and Recognition

Attorney911 has earned the trust of the Houston community and beyond:

  • 4.9 stars on Google with over 250 reviews
  • Endorsed by Houston icon Trae Tha Truth
  • Involved in major litigation like the BP explosion case
  • Featured on our Attorney 911 Podcast with Ralph Manginello

Frequently Asked Questions About Holland Car Accidents

1. What should I do immediately after a car accident in Holland, Texas?
If you’ve been in an accident in Holland:

  • Call 911 and report the accident
  • Seek medical attention even if you feel fine
  • Document everything: photos of damage, injuries, scene
  • Exchange information with the other driver
  • Get witness names and phone numbers
  • Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company
  • Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance

2. Should I call the police even for a minor accident?
Yes. Always call police. The police report is critical evidence. In Texas, you must report accidents with injuries, deaths, or property damage over $1,000.

3. Should I seek medical attention if I don’t feel hurt?
ABSOLUTELY. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms immediately:

  • Traumatic brain injuries can take days to manifest
  • Internal bleeding may not be obvious
  • Herniated discs may not cause pain for weeks
  • Adrenaline masks pain at the scene

Insurance companies use delays in treatment against you. Get checked immediately.

4. What information should I collect at the scene?

  • Other driver: name, phone, address, driver’s license, insurance
  • Vehicle: make, model, color, license plate
  • Witnesses: names and phone numbers
  • Photos: all vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals
  • Police: officer name, badge number, report number

5. Should I talk to the other driver or admit fault?

  • Exchange information only
  • Do NOT discuss fault
  • Do NOT apologize or say “I’m sorry” (can be used as admission)
  • Do NOT give your opinion on what happened
  • Stick to facts only

6. How do I obtain a copy of the accident report?
In Holland, you can obtain the police report from the responding agency or through the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS).

7. 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. We can advise you.

8. 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. Do NOT discuss injuries or fault.

9. Do I have to accept the insurance company’s estimate?
No. Their estimate is just an offer. It’s usually far below actual value. Attorney911 fights for what your case is really worth.

10. 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.

11. 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 – the defendant takes you as they find you.

12. Can I switch attorneys if I’m unhappy with my current lawyer?
YES. You can fire your attorney at any time. If your attorney isn’t communicating, isn’t fighting for you, or is pushing you to settle cheap, you have the right to switch. Attorney911 has taken over many cases from other attorneys. As 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.”

13. What if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured?
Your own UM/UIM coverage can compensate you. Watch our video: “Uninsured & Underinsured Motorists” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8

14. How do you calculate pain and suffering?
Most commonly using the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain & suffering. The multiplier depends on injury severity, permanency, and impact on your life. Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense attorney, knows how to justify higher multipliers.

15. 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. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately.

16. What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?
File a police report immediately. Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage applies when the at-fault driver is unidentified. Surveillance footage is critical – most is deleted within 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately to secure this evidence.

17. 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 status. Your case is confidential. We’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe is fluent in Spanish. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 – we protect your rights and your privacy.

18. What if the accident happened in a parking lot?
Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often argue “parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault” – this is false. We prove fault through surveillance video, witness statements, damage analysis, and traffic patterns. Texas comparative negligence rules apply.

19. What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?
You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them (friend, family member, Uber driver). You’re an innocent victim. The driver’s insurance covers passengers. No comparative fault issues (you weren’t driving). We handle the difficult conversation so you don’t have to.

20. What if the other driver died in the accident?
You can still pursue a claim against the deceased driver’s estate and insurance. The death doesn’t eliminate liability. The insurance policy still applies. The estate may have assets. Wrongful death laws protect both sides. These cases are emotionally complex but legally straightforward. We handle them with sensitivity.

21. 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
  • There is insurance to recover from

Watch our video: “Do I Have a Good Case?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-PMMP5Jims

22. When should I hire a car accident lawyer?
Immediately. Evidence disappears daily. Insurance companies start building their defense against you from day one. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911.

23. How much time do I have to file (statute of limitations)?
In Texas: 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury, 2 years from the date of death for wrongful death. Miss it = case barred forever.

24. 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 (reduced by your fault %). If 51%+ at fault, you get nothing.

Watch our video: “What Is Comparative Negligence?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzHKY_v9l4

25. 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.

26. Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle before trial. But Attorney911 prepares every case as if it’s going to trial. That’s what gives us leverage in negotiations.

Watch our video: “Will Your Case Go to Trial?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed5AnmCMcc

27. How long will my case take to settle?
It depends on injury severity. We don’t settle until you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). Could be 6 months for minor injuries, 18-24 months for serious injuries.

28. What is the legal process step-by-step?

  1. Investigation and evidence gathering
  2. Medical treatment to MMI
  3. Demand letter to insurance
  4. Negotiation
  5. Lawsuit if necessary
  6. Discovery
  7. Mediation
  8. Trial if needed

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

29. How much do car accident lawyers cost?
Attorney911 works on a contingency fee basis: 33.33% before trial, 40% if trial. You pay nothing upfront. We don’t get paid unless we win.

Watch our video: “How Do Contingency Fees Work?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upcI_j6F7Nc

30. 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.

31. 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.”

32. Who will actually handle my case?
At Attorney911, you work directly with Ralph Manginello or Lupe Peña, not just paralegals. As Chad Harris said: “You are NOT just some client…You are FAMILY to them.”

33. 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.”

34. 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

35. Should I post about my accident on social media?
NO. Make all profiles private. Don’t post about the accident, injuries, or activities. Insurance monitors everything.

36. 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.

37. 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. We can still help.

38. 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 your daily life.

39. What types of damages can I recover?

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

40. Can I get compensation for pain and suffering?
Yes. Pain and suffering is a significant component of personal injury cases in Texas. There is NO CAP on pain and suffering (except in medical malpractice cases).

41. 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 – the defendant takes you as they find you.

42. 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.

43. How much is my case worth?
It depends on many factors including injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and impact on your life. Cases range from $15,000 (soft tissue) to millions (catastrophic injury).

Watch our video: “How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onBzdkIWadY

44. What if the insurance company is my own insurance (UM/UIM claim)?
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claims are against YOUR 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. Texas allows inter-policy stacking (combining multiple UM policies). Lupe’s insurance knowledge is critical for maximizing UM/UIM recovery.

45. How do you calculate pain and suffering?
Most commonly using the multiplier method: Medical expenses × multiplier (1.5 to 5) = pain & suffering. The multiplier depends on injury severity, permanency, and impact on your life. Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense attorney, knows how to justify higher multipliers.

46. 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’s 25+ years includes government litigation. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately – the 6-month deadline is strict.

47. 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 – most is deleted within 7-30 days. We send preservation letters immediately to secure this evidence. Texas allows UM stacking. We’ve recovered substantial settlements in hit and run cases through UM claims.

48. 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. We’ve successfully represented clients of all immigration statuses. Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish, and our staff includes bilingual team members like Zulema. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 – we protect your rights and your privacy.

49. What if the accident happened in a parking lot?
Parking lot accidents are fully compensable. Insurance companies often argue “parking lot accidents are always 50/50 fault” – this is a lie. We prove fault through surveillance video, witness statements, damage analysis, and traffic patterns. Texas comparative negligence rules apply. We’ve won many parking lot cases with clear liability findings.

50. What if I was a passenger in the at-fault vehicle?
You can sue the driver even if you were riding with them (friend, family member, Uber driver). You’re an innocent victim. The driver’s insurance covers passengers. No comparative fault issues apply to you (you weren’t driving). These cases often settle quickly because liability is clear. We handle the difficult conversation with the driver so you don’t have to.
