Broken Bones Accidents in West Texas

Broken Bones accidents in West Texas frequently occur along major corridors including I-20, I-10, US-385, SH-191 (between Midland and Odessa). West Texas encompasses a vast region including Midland, Odessa, El Paso, and surrounding communities, with a combined population of over 1.5 million residents

High-risk accident areas in West Texas include I-20 between Midland and Odessa (one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in Texas due to oil field truck traffic), SH-191 between Midland and Odessa, US-285 in the Permian Basin (known as the "Death Highway" for its high fatality rate), I-10 through far West Texas (long distances, high speeds, limited emergency services), SH-302 near Kermit and Wink (heavy oil field traffic). If you have been injured in a broken bones accident near any of these locations, our attorneys can help.

  • The Permian Basin is the most productive oil-producing region in the United States, and oil field truck traffic has made West Texas highways among the most dangerous in the country
  • US-285 in the Permian Basin saw such a dramatic increase in fatalities that it earned the nickname "Death Highway," prompting state and federal safety interventions

Understanding Broken Bones Cases

Common Causes

  • Motor vehicle accidents involving high force impacts
  • Falls on uneven surfaces or from heights
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Sports and recreational activities
  • Workplace accidents with heavy equipment
  • Physical assaults and acts of violence

Typical Injuries

  • Compound fractures where bone penetrates the skin
  • Comminuted fractures where bone shatters into multiple pieces
  • Pelvic and hip fractures requiring surgical hardware
  • Wrist and forearm fractures from bracing during falls
  • Tibial plateau fractures affecting knee function
  • Non union or malunion fractures requiring additional surgery

Establishing Liability

Broken bone injuries are well documented through X rays and CT scans, providing clear objective evidence of injury. The key liability question is establishing that the defendant negligence caused the accident that produced the fracture. When fractures require surgical fixation with plates, screws, or rods, the medical expenses and recovery time increase substantially, supporting higher damage awards.

Relevant Texas Law

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows recovery of all medical expenses for fracture treatment, including emergency care, orthopedic surgery, hardware implantation, and physical therapy. Loss of earning capacity during the recovery period and any permanent impairment are also recoverable under Texas law. When a fracture leads to early onset arthritis or permanent hardware in the body, future medical expense claims may include anticipated joint replacement surgery.
