Soft Tissue Injury Accidents in West Texas

Soft Tissue 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 soft tissue 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

Understanding Soft Tissue Injury Cases

Common Causes

  • Low to moderate speed car accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents causing sprains and strains
  • Workplace lifting injuries and awkward movements
  • Repetitive motion at work causing cumulative soft tissue damage
  • Sports and recreational activity injuries
  • Being struck by or against objects

Typical Injuries

  • Muscle tears and strains in the back, neck, and shoulders
  • Ligament sprains in knees, ankles, and wrists
  • Tendon inflammation and partial tears
  • Bursitis from impact or repetitive stress
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Chronic pain persisting well beyond expected healing time

Establishing Liability

Soft tissue injuries are the claims most frequently undervalued by insurance companies because they often lack visible objective findings on imaging. Thorough documentation from treating physicians, physical therapists, and pain management specialists is essential for building the value of a soft tissue case. Functional capacity evaluations and day in the life documentation showing how the injury limits normal activities help demonstrate the true impact of these injuries.

Relevant Texas Law

Texas law does not distinguish between soft tissue injuries and other injury types for purposes of compensation, and all are equally recoverable. Texas Pattern Jury Charge instructions permit awards for physical pain, physical impairment, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental anguish for soft tissue injuries. Insurance companies may not reduce or deny claims solely because an injury is classified as soft tissue, and Texas courts have upheld substantial verdicts for chronic soft tissue conditions.
