Personal Injury Accidents in West Texas

Personal Injury 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 personal injury 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

Establishing Liability

All personal injury claims in Texas require proving four elements, that the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, that the defendant breached that duty, that the breach caused the plaintiff injuries, and that the plaintiff suffered actual damages as a result. The specific duty of care varies depending on the type of case, but the fundamental framework applies across all personal injury claims. Strong cases combine compelling liability evidence with thorough documentation of all damages including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
