Common Midland-Odessa accidents

I-20 Commercial Trucking

I-20 through the Permian sees massive oilfield-related commercial traffic. Fatigued drivers on extended shifts produce frequent catastrophic crashes.

Oilfield Workplace Injuries

Falls from drilling rigs, equipment failures, explosions, chemical exposure — Permian oilfield work is among the most dangerous in the country.

Lease Road Crashes

Unpaved or poorly maintained oilfield lease roads produce serious crashes — particularly involving fatigued drivers.

DUI Crashes

The 24-hour oilfield work culture contributes to high DUI rates in both counties.

Texas law

Statute of Limitations: 2 Years

Workplace vs. Third-Party Cases

Oilfield injury victims often have both workers' comp claims and separate third-party claims. Texas nonsubscriber rules may also apply.

FMCSR Violations

Federal trucking regulations are constantly violated in the Permian Basin. Those violations become evidence of negligence.

"The Permian is the most dangerous region in America for commercial vehicle crashes. The cases that come out of it deserve attorneys who understand the industry."

Commercial Trucking

Where the 18-wheelers run through.

The Permian Basin is the largest oilfield in the United States — and Midland-Odessa sits at its center. The result: extraordinary commercial truck traffic on I-20, SH-191, US-385, and surface roads throughout the region. Oilfield service trucks, sand haulers, water trucks, and heavy equipment transports operate 24/7 — and serious crashes are tragically frequent. These cases typically involve multiple potentially liable parties: drivers, operators, contractors, and equipment owners.
