Drunk Driving Accidents

With 1,053 alcohol-impaired driving deaths in Texas (25.37% of all fatalities), drunk driving remains a serious problem in Fort Bend County. If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver in Village of Fairchilds, you may have claims against both the driver and the establishment that served them alcohol.

Texas Dram Shop Law (TABC § 2.02) allows victims to sue bars, restaurants, and other establishments that serve obviously intoxicated patrons who then cause accidents. Signs of obvious intoxication include:

  • Slurred speech
  • Bloodshot/glassy eyes
  • Unsteady gait/stumbling
  • Impaired coordination
  • Strong odor of alcohol

Our firm’s involvement in the BP Texas City explosion litigation demonstrates our ability to take on complex cases against major corporations, including bars and restaurants that over-serve patrons.

Pedestrian Accidents

With 6,095 pedestrian crashes in Texas last year resulting in 768 fatalities, pedestrian accidents are particularly dangerous. In Village of Fairchilds and Fort Bend County, pedestrians are vulnerable at crosswalks and along busy roads.

Common pedestrian injuries:

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

If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident in Village of Fairchilds, call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

Rideshare accidents present unique insurance challenges in Village of Fairchilds. The coverage available depends on what the driver was doing at the time of the accident:

Phase Driver Status Coverage Available
Period 0 App off, personal use Personal insurance only ($30K/$60K/$25K)
Period 1 App on, no ride request $50K/$100K/$25K contingent coverage
Period 2 Ride accepted, en route to pickup $1,000,000 liability coverage

  • Serious bodily injury: 3rd degree felony (2-10 years)
  • Minor injury: State jail felony (up to 5 years)
  • Property damage: Class B misdemeanor (up to 6 months)

Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage can compensate you when the at-fault driver flees. We send preservation letters immediately to secure surveillance footage before it’s deleted (typically within 7-30 days).

Insurance Company Tactics Exposed

At Attorney911, we know how insurance companies operate because our attorney Lupe Peña worked for them for years. Here are the tactics they use to minimize your claim:

Tactic #1: Quick Contact & Recorded Statement

Insurance adjusters contact you immediately – often while you’re still in the hospital or on pain medication. They act friendly and helpful, but their goal is to get you to say something that hurts your case.

Common questions they ask:

  • “You’re feeling better now though, right?”
  • “It wasn’t that bad of an impact, was it?”
  • “You were able to walk away from the scene?”
  • “Were you distracted at all?”
  • “How fast were you going?”

The Truth: You are NOT required to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Everything you say will be used against you.

What We Do: Once you hire Attorney911, we become your voice. All calls go through us, and we prepare you properly if a statement becomes necessary.

Tactic #2: Quick Settlement Offer

Within days or weeks of your Village of Fairchilds accident, the insurance company may offer you quick money – typically $2,000-$5,000, sometimes up to $15,000 if they’re scared.

The Trap: You don’t know the full extent of your injuries yet. If you sign a release and later need surgery, you’re responsible for the costs.

Real Example: Insurance offered $3,500 “final settlement” on day 3. Client signed the release. Week 6: MRI showed herniated disc requiring $100,000 surgery. Too late – release was permanent.

What We Do: We NEVER settle before you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). We know these offers are always lowball.

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

The insurance company will send you to a doctor they hire – an “Independent Medical Examination.” What it really is: a doctor paid thousands by insurance companies to minimize your injuries.

What Happens at an IME:

  • 10-15 minute “examination”
  • Cursory physical exam
  • Leading questions designed to elicit “I’m feeling better” responses
  • Rarely review your complete medical records

Common IME Doctor Findings:

  • “Patient has pre-existing degenerative changes”
  • “Injuries consistent with minor trauma”
  • “Patient can return to full duty work”
  • “Treatment has been excessive”
  • “Subjective complaints out of proportion to objective findings”

What We Do: We prepare you extensively before the exam, send complete medical records to the IME doctor, and challenge biased reports with our own medical experts.

“I’ve reviewed hundreds of surveillance videos and social media posts as 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

Tactic #4: Delay and Financial Pressure

Insurance companies drag out your case, hoping you’ll get desperate and accept less money.

Their Advantage:

  • Unlimited time
  • Unlimited resources
  • No financial pressure
  • Earning interest on YOUR money

Your Situation:

  • Mounting bills
  • Zero income
  • Creditors threatening
  • Need money NOW

What We Do: We file lawsuits to force deadlines, set depositions, and prepare for trial to show we’re serious.

Tactic #5: Surveillance and Social Media Monitoring

Insurance companies hire private investigators to:

  • Video you doing daily activities
  • Film from public places (your driveway, street, stores)
  • Follow you to appointments, errands, social activities
  • Look for ANY activity contradicting your injury claims

They also 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

What We Tell Clients:

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

Tactic #6: Comparative Fault Arguments

Insurance companies try to assign you maximum fault to reduce their payment using Texas’s 51% bar rule.

Their Arguments:

  • “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:

  • 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

What We Do: We conduct aggressive liability investigations, use accident reconstruction to prove the other driver’s fault, and counter their comparative fault arguments with evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Village of Fairchilds Accident Cases

Immediate After Accident

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Village of Fairchilds?
If you’ve been in an accident in Village of Fairchilds:

  • Call 911 and report the accident
  • Seek medical attention even if you feel fine (adrenaline masks injuries)
  • 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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Dealing with Insurance

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.

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.

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.

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/underinsured?
Your own UM/UIM coverage can compensate you. Watch our video: “Uninsured & Underinsured Motorists” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWcNFyb-Yq8

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.

Legal Process

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
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.

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

Compensation

What is my case worth?
Depends on: injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, permanent impairment, pain and suffering, insurance available. 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. There is NO CAP on pain and suffering (except medical malpractice).

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.

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.

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, impact on daily life.

Attorney Relationship

How much do car accident lawyers cost?
Attorney911 works on contingency: 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

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.”

Mistakes to Avoid

What common mistakes can hurt my case?

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.

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. We can still help.
