Common Injuries in Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Commercial vehicle accidents often lead to severe injuries due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. Common injuries include:
- Burns
- Whiplash
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries (SCI)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
These injuries can result in long-term or permanent disabilities that significantly impact a victim’s quality of life, as well as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost income. Seeking sound counsel is critical to recovering damages in a commercial vehicle lawsuit.

What Causes Commercial Vehicle Accidents in Odessa?
Collisions involving semi-trucks, eighteen-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles are extremely common in Odessa. Texas is especially prone to commercial vehicle accidents due to the large volume of oil rigs and plant refineries in the area.
The Permian Basin produces over 40% of the nation’s oil supply and sees heavy traffic due to oil and gas transportation, increasing the likelihood of serious accidents. This region has a crash rate nearly double that in other parts of Texas. Traffic fatalities on the Texas oil patch account for almost one in four roadway deaths in the state, making it crucial to exercise caution and know your rights in the event of an accident.
What Makes Commercial Vehicle Accidents So Complex?
Unlike traditional car accidents, commercial vehicle accidents often involve larger entities like trucking companies, delivery services, or other businesses with extensive resources and legal teams dedicated to minimizing liability, making it more challenging to recover damages in a claim. Commercial vehicle accidents differ from traditional car accident claims in several ways, including:
- Regulatory compliance: Commercial vehicles are subject to strict federal and state regulations, including those set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Working with an attorney who is knowledgeable about these regulations is critical to obtaining a favorable outcome.
- Multiple parties: These cases often involve numerous parties, such as the driver, the company, maintenance providers, and insurers. Each party may bear partial responsibility, complicating the process of determining fault.
- Higher stakes: Due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, these accidents typically result in more severe injuries and property damage, leading to higher claims for compensation. A skilled lawyer can work to calculate all available damages to ensure you’re compensated fairly and fully.
