Round Mountain Motor Vehicle Accident Authority | Round Mountain, TX

If You’ve Been Injured in a Motor Vehicle Accident in Round Mountain, Texas, You Aren’t Just a Claim Number. You’re Family.

You were driving along US-281, perhaps heading south through the heart of the Texas Hill Country or moving toward the intersection with Highway 71. In a split second, the quiet rhythm of your commute was shattered. The screech of tires, the violent jolt of the “second collision” as your body hit the interior of your vehicle, and then—silence.

Now, the adrenaline has faded, and the reality of your situation is setting in. You’re dealing with more than just a dented bumper. You have a throbbing headache that won’t go away. Your neck feels like it’s filled with ground glass. You’re worried about missing work at a time when Blanco County families are already feeling the squeeze of rising costs.

Even worse, the phone calls have started. An adjuster from a company like State Farm or Allstate is calling, sounding friendly but asking questions that feel like traps. They want a recorded statement. They want you to sign a medical release. They’re offering a “fast settlement” that barely covers your ER visit.

We’ve seen it before. At Attorney 911 / The Manginello Law Firm, we’ve spent over a quarter-century fighting for injured Texans against the multi-billion-dollar insurance industry. Since 1998, Ralph Manginello has gone toe-to-toe with Fortune 500 corporate defendants—including BP after the Texas City refinery explosion—and we bring that same level of “nuclear-option” litigation experience to every motor vehicle accident in Round Mountain.

Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, is admitted to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, and has spent 27+ years trying cases in state and federal courtrooms. But we have a secret weapon that most firms can’t match: Lupe Peña. Before he joined us to fight for you, Lupe worked on the other side. He was an insurance defense attorney. He knows the MIST (Minor Impact Soft Tissue) protocols, the ACE systems, and the CCPR programs because he used to help carriers implement them. Now, he uses that “insider” playbook against them to maximize your recovery.

The Reality of Crashes in Round Mountain and Blanco County

While many people think of Round Mountain as a peaceful stop on the way to the lakes or the wineries, local drivers know that US-281 is one of the most dangerous non-interstate corridors in the state. As the gateway between Marble Falls, Johnson City, and Austin via Highway 71, Round Mountain sees heavy-haul commercial traffic mixed with local commuters and weekend tourism.

In Blanco County, the crash patterns differ significantly from urban centers like Houston or Dallas. Here, we see high-speed rear-end collisions when traffic backs up unexpectedly at the intersection of US-281 and RM 962. We see catastrophic sideswipes from drivers attempting to pass on two-lane Hill Country roads. And because of our regional industry, we see a disproportionate number of commercial-vehicle and oilfield-service truck accidents.

When a serious crash happens in Round Mountain, there are no Level I trauma centers on RM 962. Most victims are stabilized at facilities like the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Marble Falls or Hill Country Memorial in Fredericksburg. If the injury is catastrophic—such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord damage—you may be airlifted to Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas in Austin or University Hospital in San Antonio.

We understand these realities because we work with these trauma teams and local hospitals to secure the evidence needed to prove your case. From securing 911 audio to preserving traffic management data, we know Round Mountain’s infrastructure.

Why the First 48 Hours in Round Mountain Are Critical

Missing a deadline in a Texas crash case isn’t just a mistake; it’s a “case-killer.” Most people know about the two-year statute of limitations under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 (available at https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.16.htm#16.003), which gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. But in Round Mountain, that two-year clock is rarely the one that destroys a claimant’s chance at recovery.

The real “silent killers” are the short windows for evidence preservation:

• The 7-Day FMCSA Spoliation Window: If you were hit by an 18-wheeler or commercial truck on US-281, the truck’s ELD (Electronic Logging Device) data typically auto-purges after 6 months under 49 CFR § 395.8(k). However, some companies wipe this data much sooner if not formally commanded to preserve it. We send formal spoliation letters within 7 days of being retained to lock that data.
• Surveillance Overwrites: Many of the businesses and gas stations along the Round Mountain corridors overwrite their surveillance footage every 7 to 30 days. If the camera caught the moment of impact or the other driver’s cell phone use before the crash, that evidence is likely gone by the time you receive your first lowball offer from the carrier.
• The 72-Hour Medical Gap: In the carrier’s framing, any delay in treatment is evidence that you weren’t actually hurt. If you wait five days to see a doctor for that stiff neck, the adjuster will label it as a “pre-existing condition” or an injury that happened after the crash.

As one of our clients, Ernest Cano, put it: “Mr. Manginello and his firm are first class. They will fight tooth and nail for you.” We start that fight the moment you call us.

The 10 Types of Crashes We Handle in Round Mountain

Every collision involves unique physics and unique legal duties. We treat a fender-bender at a stop sign with the same rigorous scientific analysis as an 18-wheeler wrongful death case.

1. Rear-End Collisions (The Round Mountain Stop-and-Go)

Tex. Transp. Code § 545.062 requires every driver to maintain an “assured clear distance ahead.” Under the Texas doctrine established in Wright v. McAdams Lumber Co., rear-ending another vehicle creates a powerful presumption of negligence against the trailing driver. Whether you were hit at the intersection of US-281 and Highway 71 or backed into at a local business, we know how to hold the rear driver accountable. We anticipate the “sudden stop” defense and rebut it with Event Data Recorder (EDR) “black box” downloads.

2. Commercial Vehicle and 18-Wheeler Catastrophes

US-281 through Round Mountain is a vital freight artery. When an 80,000-pound truck impacts a 4,000-pound car, the mass ratio is 20:1. The car occupants absorb nearly all the energy. We’ve recovered multi-million dollar settlements for families of those injured or killed by FMCSA violations. Ralph Manginello has spent 27+ years taking on the world’s largest trucking corporations and making them pay for cutting corners on safety.

3. T-Bone and Intersection Failures

Intersections are the most dangerous points in Blanco County. Whether it’s a failure to yield at a stop sign or a driver blowing a red light, side impacts often lead to pelvic fractures and traumatic brain injuries because modern cars have minimal crumple-zone protection on the sides. We subpoena signal-phase data to prove who had the green light.

4. Distracted Driving (The Texting Hazard)

Tex. Transp. Code § 545.4251 outlaws texting while driving statewide. If the defendant was on their phone, we subpoena the carrier records (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) and social media timelines to prove it. As client Jennifer Neitz noted: “I was rear-ended by a driver who believed his phone was more important than anyone else’s safety!” We agree, and we pursue gross-negligence findings in these cases.

5. DUI and Drunk Driving (Dram Shop Liability)

If a drunk driver changes your life in Round Mountain, we don’t just sue the driver. We investigate where the alcohol came from. Under Tex. Alc. Bev. Code § 2.02, a bar or restaurant may be liable for over-serving an “obviously intoxicated” patron. We subpoena POS records and server logs to build a “dram shop” case that adds essential insurance layers to your recovery.

6. Sideswipe and Lane-Change Collisions

Often the result of failing to check a blind spot at highway speed, sideswipes can force a car off US-281 into a rollover. We use accident reconstructionists to prove which driver invaded whose lane.

7. Head-On Collisions

These are the most lethal events on two-lane roads in the Hill Country. Often caused by fatigued or intoxicated drivers drifting across the center line, head-ons routinely result in wrongful death or permanent disability.

8. Construction-Zone Crashes

With TxDOT constantly improving the regional corridor, construction zones are a high-risk area. If a contractor failed to provide adequate signage or lane markers, we pursue claims against the corporate construction entity under premises-defect theories.

9. Pedestrian and Cyclist Accidents

Round Mountain visitors and residents are uniquely vulnerable when walking or cycling near the main roadways. Texas law provides specific protections for vulnerable road users, and we hold drivers accountable for failing to yield.

10. Hit-and-Run / Phantom Vehicles

If the at-fault driver fled the scene, we turn to your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Person Injury Protection (PIP) coverages. We know how to navigate the complex corroboration requirements for “phantom vehicle” claims in Texas.

The Biomechanics of Pain: Why You Feel Worse Today Than Yesterday

If you were rear-ended on US-281 yesterday and felt “fine” at the scene but can barely move today, don’t panic. This is the physiological reality of motor vehicle trauma.

The Adrenaline Mask

During a crash, your body triggers a “fight-or-flight” response, flooding your system with adrenaline and endorphins. These chemicals are powerful natural painkillers that mask symptoms. As the adrenaline ebbs over the first 24 to 48 hours, the underlying damage becomes apparent.

The 4 Phases of Whiplash (CAD Mechanism)

Whiplash—formally known as Cervical Acceleration-Deceleration (CAD)—occurs in less than 300 milliseconds.

1. Initial Contact: Your torso is accelerated forward by the car seat.
2. S-Curve Formation: Your lower neck hyperextends while your head remains stationary.
3. Full Extension: Your head whips back over the headrest.
4. Rebound Flexion: Your head whips forward toward the steering wheel.

This creates micro-tearing in the ligaments and can cause disc herniations at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels.

Silent Brain Injury (mTBI)

You don’t have to hit your head to suffer a concussion. The “coup-contrecoup” mechanism involves your brain striking the inside of your skull due to rapid deceleration. If you are experiencing dizziness, irritability, or memory loss after your Round Mountain accident, you may have a Traumatic Brain Injury. Our firm has recovered settlements in the $1.5M to $9.8M range for TBI victims. (Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is unique.)

What the Insurance Company Won’t Tell You About Your Round Mountain Case

The adjuster calling you from an office in another city doesn’t have your best interests at heart. They have a “reserve” for your case—an amount they are authorized to pay. Their goal is to close the file for the smallest fraction of that reserve possible.

1. The MIST Program Trap

Carriers like Allstate use MIST (Minor Impact Soft Tissue) protocols to flag any claim with less than $1,500 in bumper damage. They will use a biomechanical engineer to claim that the force of the impact was “below the threshold for human injury.” They ignore the fact that an 18-year-old in a truck hits differently than a 65-year-old with pre-existing arthritis. We use the “Eggshell Plaintiff” doctrine to defeat these arguments.

2. The Recorded Statement Trap

They tell you it’s “just to get your side of the story.” In reality, they are looking for you to say “I’m okay” or “I think he was speeding” so they can use those words against you in a deposition two years from now. You are NOT required by Texas law to give a statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Tell them to call us.

3. The Paid-or-Incurred Ceiling

Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105 (interpreted by the Texas Supreme Court in Haygood v. de Escabedo), you can only recover the amount “actually paid or incurred” for medical bills—not the amount billed. If your hospital bill was $10,000 but health insurance paid $3,000, your legal claim is limited to $3,000. The insurance carriers love this rule because it hides the true cost of your care. We fight back by using expert life-care planners to establish the real future cost of your medical needs.

4. The 18% Prompt Pay Penalty

If your own insurance carrier (for PIP or UM/UIM) misses their investigation or payment deadlines under Tex. Ins. Code Ch. 542, they may owe you 18% per-annum interest plus attorney fees. As Lupe Peña, our former insurance defense insider, knows: “Carriers hate Chapter 542 claims because it puts their bad-faith behavior on the record.” We use this as a hammer to force them to pay.

How Texas Statutes Stack: The Math of Your Recovery

Most firms see one source of money. We see a “tower” of coverage.

• The Bottom Layer: The at-fault driver’s BI policy (Texas minimum is $30,000).
• The Second Layer: Your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
• The Third Layer: Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or MedPay ($2,500 to $10,000).
• The Corporate Layer: If the other driver was working, their employer’s $1 million commercial policy.
• The Federal Layer: For interstate 18-wheelers, the $750,000 MCS-90 endorsement.

We stack these layers systematically to ensure you aren’t left with bills you can’t pay. On a $100,000 case where the at-fault driver only has $30,000 in coverage, we move immediately to your UIM carrier to recover the remaining $70,000.

Proving Fault in Blanco County: How We Win

We don’t just rely on the police report (the CR-3 form). We conduct our own investigation.

• Event Data Recorders (EDR): We download the “black box” data from your car and the defendant’s car. It doesn’t lie about speed, braking, or seatbelt use.
• Cell Phone Forensics: We find out if they were texting.
• Accident Reconstruction: We use 3D simulations to show the jury exactly how the physics of the crash caused your injuries.
• Medical Illustration: We use high-definition markups of your MRIs to show the “visible” result of the “invisible” pain in your spine.

Frequently Asked Questions for Round Mountain Residents

1. I don’t feel hurt, but my car is totaled. Should I call a lawyer?

Yes. Adrenaline is a powerful mask. Many serious spinal and brain injuries don’t manifest until 48 to 72 hours after the crash. If you settle your property damage claim too early and sign a general release, you may be barring yourself from ever recovering for your physical injuries. Call us for a free evaluation first.

2. The other driver doesn’t have insurance. Am I out of luck?

No. Texas requires insurance companies to offer you Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. Unless you signed a piece of paper specifically rejecting it, you likely have it. We prosecute UM claims against your own carrier to ensure you get paid.

3. What if I was partially at fault for the crash on US-281?

Texas follows the Modified Comparative Fault rule under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001. As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover. Your settlement is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51% at fault, you recover nothing. We fight to keep your percentage at zero.

4. How much does Attorney 911 cost?

Zero upfront. We work on a contingency fee. We advance all the costs of the investigation, the experts, and the court filings. If we recover money for you, we take a percentage. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. No retainer, no hourly bills, no risk.

5. Can I see a doctor even if I don’t have health insurance?

Yes. We work with specialized medical providers who treat on a “Letter of Protection” (LOP). They wait to be paid out of the final settlement so you can get the testing and care you need today without paying out of pocket.

6. What is my Round Mountain accident case worth?

Every case depends on three things: Liability (who caused it), Damages (how bad are the injuries), and Coverage (is there insurance money to pay?). A “fender bender” with a herniated disc and a corporate defendant can be worth significantly more than a major-looking wreck against a minimum-limits driver. We provide a clear range after reviewing your medical and insurance files.

7. Does it matter that Round Mountain is in Blanco County?

Yes. Venue matters. Blanco County juries and judges have their own patterns. We understand the local legal climate and how to present your case effectively to our neighbors in Central Texas.

8. How long does a settlement take?

Most non-complex cases settle within 6 to 12 months after you finish medical treatment. We won’t settle your case until your doctors reach “Maximum Medical Improvement” (MMI). If we settle before then, we might miss the true cost of your future care.

9. Will my case go to trial?

Most cases (over 90%) settle out of court. However, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. When the insurance company see’s Ralph Manginello’s name on a petition, they know they are facing a trial-tested litigator who isn’t afraid of a courtroom. That’s how we get the best settlements.

10. The insurance carrier says my car had a “low-impact” crash and they won’t pay. What now?

This is their standard MIST protocol. We use biomechanical experts and the Coates “Eggshell” doctrine to prove that impact force and injury are not perfectly correlated. We’ve beaten MIST denials hundreds of times.

Your Next Steps: A Round Mountain Action Plan

1. Stop Talking: Don’t speak to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Don’t post about the crash on Facebook or Instagram.
2. Get Evaluated: See a doctor within 72 hours. Tell them about EVERY symptom, from the tip of your toes to the top of your head.
3. Preserve Evidence: Don’t fix your car until it has been photographed by an expert. Save your dashcam footage.
4. Call 1-888-ATTY-911: You need a team with 27+ years of experience and an insurance-defense insider on your side.

Autoridad en Accidentes de Vehículos Motorizados | Round Mountain, TX

Si usted ha resultado lesionado en un accidente en Round Mountain, Texas, no es solo un número de reclamo. Usted es familia.

Usted conducía por la US-281, tal vez dirigiéndose al sur a través del corazón de la región de las colinas de Texas o hacia la intersección con la autopista 71. En una fracción de segundo, el ritmo tranquilo de su trayecto se vio destrozado. El chirrido de las llantas, la sacudida violenta del “segundo choque” cuando su cuerpo golpeó el interior de su vehículo, y luego—silencio.

Ahora, la adrenalina ha disminuido y la realidad de su situación se está imponiendo. Está lidiando con algo más que una defensa abollada. Tiene un dolor de cabeza palpitante que no desaparece. Siente el cuello como si estuviera lleno devidrio molido. Le preocupa faltar al trabajo en un momento en que las familias del condado de Blanco ya están sufriendo la presión del aumento de los costos.

Peor aún, han comenzado las llamadas telefónicas. Un ajustador de una compañía como State Farm o Allstate está llamando, sonando amigable pero haciendo preguntas que se sienten como trampas. Quieren una declaración grabada. Quieren que firme una autorización médica. Le ofrecen un “acuerdo rápido” que apenas cubre su visita a la sala de emergencias.

Lo hemos visto antes. En Attorney 911 / Manginello Law Firm, hemos pasado más de un cuarto de siglo luchando por los tejanos lesionados contra la industria de seguros multimillonaria. Desde 1998, Ralph Manginello se ha enfrentado a corporaciones de la lista Fortune 500—incluyendo a BP tras la explosión de la refinería de Texas City—y aportamos ese mismo nivel de experiencia en litigios de alto impacto a cada accidente en Round Mountain.

Nuestro socio gerente, Ralph Manginello, está admitido en el Tribunal de Distrito de los EE. UU., Distrito Sur de Texas, y ha pasado más de 27 años juzgando casos en tribunales estatales y federales. Pero tenemos un arma secreta que la mayoría de las firmas no pueden igualar: Lupe Peña. Antes de unirse a nosotros para luchar por usted, Lupe trabajó del otro lado. Él era un abogado de defensa de seguros. Conoce los protocolos MIST, los sistemas ACE y los programas CCPR porque él solía ayudar a las compañías de seguros a implementarlos. Ahora, usa ese manual de “insider” contra ellos para maximizar su recuperación.

Hablamos Español. Su consulta es totalmente gratuita. Si ha sido herido en Round Mountain, necesita un equipo que conozca la física del choque, la biomecánica de la lesión y la matemática fría de las aseguradoras. No nos paga nada a menos que ganemos. Llámenos las 24 horas al 1-888-ATTY-911.

La Realidad de los Choques en Round Mountain y el Condado de Blanco

Aunque muchos piensan en Round Mountain como una parada pacífica de camino a los lagos o a las bodegas, los conductores locales saben que la US-281 es uno de los corredores más peligrosos del estado. Como puerta de enlace entre Marble Falls, Johnson City y Austin a través de la autopista 71, Round Mountain ve un tráfico pesado de camiones comerciales mezclado con conductores locales y turismo de fin de semana.

En el condado de Blanco, los patrones de choque difieren de los centros urbanos como Houston o Dallas. Aquí vemos choques por detrás a alta velocidad cuando el tráfico se detiene inesperadamente en la intersección de la US-281 y la RM 962. Vemos choques laterales catastróficos por conductores que intentan rebasar en carreteras de dos carriles. Y debido a nuestra industria regional, vemos un número desproporcionado de accidentes de camiones comerciales y de servicio petrolero.

Cuando ocurre un choque grave en Round Mountain, no hay centros de trauma de Nivel I en la RM 962. La mayoría de las víctimas son estabilizadas en instalaciones como el Centro Médico Baylor Scott & White en Marble Falls o el Hill Country Memorial en Fredericksburg. Si la lesión es catastrófica—como una lesión cerebral traumática (TBI) o daño en la médula espinal—es posible que sea trasladado en helicóptero al Centro Médico Dell Seton en Austin o al Hospital Universitario en San Antonio.

Entendemos estas realidades porque trabajamos con estos equipos de trauma y hospitales locales para asegurar las pruebas necesarias para probar su caso. Desde asegurar el audio del 911 hasta preservar los datos de tráfico, conocemos la infraestructura de Round Mountain.

Por qué las primeras 48 horas en Round Mountain son críticas

Perder un plazo en un caso de accidente en Texas no es solo un error; es fatal para el caso. La mayoría de las personas conocen el estatuto de limitaciones de dos años bajo el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 (disponible en https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.16.htm#16.003), que le otorga dos años desde la fecha del choque para presentar una demanda. Pero en Round Mountain, ese reloj de dos años rara vez es el que destruye la oportunidad de recuperación de un reclamante.

Los verdaderos “asesinos silenciosos” son los plazos cortos para la preservación de pruebas:

• La Ventana de 7 Días de la FMCSA: Si fue golpeado por un tráiler de 18 ruedas o un camión comercial en la US-281, los datos del ELD (dispositivo de registro electrónico) suelen borrarse automáticamente después de 6 meses bajo la norma 49 CFR § 395.8(k). Sin embargo, algunas compañías borran estos datos mucho antes si no se les ordena formalmente preservarlos. Enviamos cartas de preservación dentro de los 7 días posteriores a ser contratados.
• Sobreescritura de Vigilancia: Muchos de los negocios y gasolineras a lo largo de los corredores de Round Mountain sobrescriben sus imágenes de vigilancia cada 7 a 30 días. Si la cámara captó el momento del impacto o al otro conductor usando el celular, es probable que esa prueba haya desaparecido para cuando reciba su primera oferta baja de la aseguradora.
• La Brecha Médica de 72 Horas: Para la aseguradora, cualquier retraso en el tratamiento es prueba de que no estaba herido realmente. Si espera cinco días para ver a un médico por ese dolor de cuello, el ajustador lo etiquetará como una “condición preexistente”.

Como dijo uno de nuestros clientes, Ernest Cano: “El Sr. Manginello y su firma son de primera clase. Lucharán con uñas y dientes por usted”. Comenzamos esa lucha en el momento en que usted nos llama.

Los 10 Tipos de Choques que Manejamos en Round Mountain

Cada colisión implica una física única y deberes legales únicos. Tratamos un choque menor en una señal de stop con el mismo análisis científico riguroso que un caso de muerte por negligencia de un camión de 18 ruedas.

1. Choques por Detrás (El tráfico de Round Mountain)

El Tex. Transp. Code § 545.062 (que exige mantener una distancia clara de seguridad) requiere que cada conductor mantenga una distancia segura. Bajo la doctrina establecida en Wright v. McAdams Lumber Co., chocar por detrás crea una poderosa presunción de negligencia contra el conductor de atrás.

2. Catástrofes de Vehículos Comerciales y Tráileres

La US-281 es una arteria vital para el transporte de carga. Cuando un camión de 80,000 libras golpea un coche de 4,000 libras, la relación de masa es de 20:1. Ralph Manginello ha pasado más de 27 años enfrentándose a las corporaciones de transporte más grandes y haciéndoles pagar.

3. Choques de Impacto Lateral (T-Bone) en Intersecciones

Las intersecciones como la US-281 y la Autopista 71 son puntos peligrosos. Los impactos laterales a menudo provocan fracturas pélvicas y lesiones cerebrales traumáticas. Subpoenamos los datos de las fases de los semáforos para demostrar quién tenía la luz verde.

4. Conducción Distraída (Peligro de Texting)

El Tex. Transp. Code § 545.4251 prohibe enviar mensajes de texto mientras se conduce en todo el estado. Subpoenamos los registros de la compañía telefónica (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) para probarlo. Buscamos daños punitivos en estos casos de negligencia grave.

5. DUI y Conducir Ebrio (Responsabilidad de la Taberna)

Bajo el Tex. Alc. Bev. Code § 2.02, un bar o restaurante puede ser responsable de servir a un cliente “obviamente intoxicado” que luego causó lesiones. Investigamos de dónde vino el alcohol.

Oficina principal: Houston, Texas. Admitido en el Distrito Sur de Texas. 1-888-ATTY-911.

Lo que la compañía de seguros no le dirá

El ajustador que le llama no busca su mejor interés. Tienen una “reserva” para su caso y su objetivo es cerrar el archivo por la menor cantidad posible.

1. La trampa del programa MIST

Compañías como Allstate usan protocolos MIST (Impacto Menor en Tejidos Blandos) para marcar cualquier reclamo con daños mínimos en la defensa. Usan ingenieros biomecánicos para decir que el impacto no pudo causar lesiones. Usamos la doctrina del “Demandante de Cáscara de Huevo” (Eggshell Plaintiff) para derrotar estos argumentos.

2. El Techo de “Pagado o Incurrido”

Bajo el Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.0105 (interpretado por la Corte Suprema de Texas en Haygood v. de Escabedo), usted solo puede recuperar la cantidad “realmente pagada” por las facturas médicas, no la cantidad facturada originalmente. Si su factura fue de $10,000 pero el seguro pagó $3,000, su reclamo legal se limita a $3,000. Luchamos por establecer el costo real futuro de su cuidado médico.

3. La Penalización del 18% por Pago Puntual

Si su propia aseguradora (para PIP o cobertura de no asegurado) no cumple con los plazos bajo el Tex. Ins. Code Ch. 542, pueden deberle un interés del 18% anual más los honorarios de los abogados. Lupe Peña sabe que esto es lo que más temen las aseguradoras.

Preguntas Frecuentes para Residentes de Round Mountain

1. No siento dolor, pero mi auto quedó destruido. ¿Debo llamar a un abogado?

Sí. La adrenalina enmascara el dolor. Muchas lesiones graves de la columna y el cerebro no aparecen hasta 48 o 72 horas después. No firme nada con la aseguradora sin hablar con nosotros primero.

2. El otro conductor no tiene seguro. ¿Qué hago?

Si tiene cobertura de Automovilista No Asegurado (UM) en su póliza, nosotros demandamos a su propia aseguradora para que usted reciba el pago. En Texas, esta cobertura es obligatoria a menos que usted la haya rechazado por escrito.

3. ¿Cuánto cuesta Attorney 911?

Cero por adelantado. Trabajamos con honorarios de contingencia. Avanzamos todos los costos de investigación y expertos. Si no ganamos, usted no nos debe nada. No hay facturas por hora, no hay riesgo.

Su Plan de Acción:

1. Deje de hablar: No hable con la aseguradora del otro conductor. No publique en redes sociales.
2. Hágase una evaluación médica: Vea a un médico antes de que pasen 72 horas.
3. Preserve las pruebas: No arregle su auto hasta que haya sido fotografiado por expertos.
4. Llame al 1-888-ATTY-911: Necesita a alguien que conozca el manual del enemigo desde adentro.
