Zehl & Associates Injury & Accident Lawyers

We are proud to represent the family of Quma Martinez Carrillo, a 47-year-old father and husband who was tragically killed during a test drive gone wrong in Odessa, Texas. As reported by the Midland Reporter-Telegram, Mr. Carrillo lost his life when a 2021 Dodge Challenger, operated by a dealership employee, collided with her vehicle. The lawsuit—filed by our firm—seeks $1 million in damages and holds the dealership accountable for gross negligence, including failing to follow basic safety protocols and allegedly allowing an intoxicated salesperson to conduct the test drive. No family should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one due to preventable carelessness. At Zehl & Associates, we are committed to uncovering the truth and fighting for full justice for this family—and for others impacted by serious negligence. #WrongfulDeath #Odessa #ZehlLaw #PersonalInjuryLaw #TrialLawyers #JusticeMatters #TexasLaw https://lnkd.in/gBhqFAhg

Attorneys Matt Greenberg and Mike Streich secured a $10 MILLION settlement for the family of Jose Mireles, a union laborer who was killed while working at the Port of Freeport. In November 2018, Jose was loading an 18,000-pound crane part when it fell and tragically took his life. Horizon Terminal Services had one job: 🛑 Supervise. 🛑 Oversee. 🛑 Provide a safe worksite. They did none of it. At trial, Matt and Mike proved that Horizon left the union labor to fend for themselves. Justice for Jose. Whatever it takes.

🚛 Can the Fifth Amendment Protect a Truck Driver’s Phone Passcode? 📱⚖️ In one of my current cases, the 18-wheeler driver who caused the crash was found with detectable levels of three marijuana metabolites in his system. He has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. But when we asked for the passcode to his iPhone, so my expert can download the device, he invoked the Fifth Amendment—refusing to provide the code because, in his own words, it would incriminate him. 💡 So here’s the legal question: Does the Fifth Amendment protect a truck driver from being forced to disclose his phone passcode? 𝙊𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙: 📌 The Fifth protects against compelled self-incrimination—meaning the government can’t force you to provide testimony against yourself. 📌 Texas expanded this protection last year under In re Taylor Brock Peters (No. 23-0611; October 4, 2024). 𝙊𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙: 📌 Courts have ruled that compelling a passcode is not the same as forcing someone to testify—it’s more like handing over a key to a locked safe. 📌 Plus, the contents of the phone already exist—it’s not creating new testimony. 📌 If the trucker’s defense is that he wasn’t distracted, shouldn’t he want his phone records to prove it? So what do you think? Should the Fifth protect his passcode, or does the law require discloure? Drop your thoughts in the comments. #𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘆𝗲𝗿 #𝟭𝟴𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 #𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗵𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 #𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 #𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 #𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀
