Premises Liability Accidents in West Texas

Premises Liability 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 premises liability 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 Premises Liability Cases

Common Causes

• Failure to maintain property in a reasonably safe condition
• Negligent security allowing criminal attacks on the property
• Unmarked hazards such as holes, drops, and obstructions
• Building code violations creating unsafe conditions
• Defective elevators, escalators, and automatic doors
• Failure to repair known dangerous conditions in a timely manner

Typical Injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries from falls and falling objects
• Broken bones and fractures from structural failures
• Assault injuries resulting from negligent security
• Drowning and near drowning at pools and water features
• Elevator and escalator entrapment injuries
• Burns from fire hazards and code violations

Establishing Liability

Premises liability claims require proving the property owner or occupier had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. Evidence of prior incidents on the property, maintenance records, inspection logs, and building code violations helps establish that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard. The length of time the dangerous condition existed before the injury is a critical factor in establishing constructive knowledge.
