Weather-Related Fall Accidents in West Texas

Weather-Related Fall 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 weather-related fall 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 Weather-Related Fall Cases

Common Causes

• Ice forming on walkways and parking lots without treatment
• Rainwater pooling at building entrances without drainage
• Snow and sleet left uncleared on steps and sidewalks
• Roof runoff creating icy patches on walkways below
• Failure to apply salt or sand to icy surfaces
• Mud and standing water on unpaved commercial property surfaces

Typical Injuries

• Hip fractures from falling on icy concrete
• Head injuries from slipping and falling backward
• Tailbone fractures from landing on hard frozen surfaces
• Wrist fractures from bracing against the fall
• Back injuries from sudden impact with the ground
• Knee dislocations from slipping and twisting

Establishing Liability

Weather related fall claims require showing the property owner had a reasonable opportunity to address the hazard after the weather event. Property owners are not expected to prevent all weather related hazards instantly, but they must take reasonable steps to mitigate the danger within a reasonable time. Evidence of the property owner snow and ice removal policies, how long the weather condition existed before the fall, and whether other businesses in the area addressed the same conditions helps establish negligence.
