Truck Accident Statistics in the Permian Basin Region
Due to their massive size and weight, truck accidents are incredibly dangerous and often lead to devastating injuries. The Permian Basin Region in particular is known for its hazardous roads, earning the nickname “Death Highway” due to its high fatality rate and large volume of truck traffic on US 285.
A recent report from the Permian Road Safety Coalition shows that collisions in the Permian Basin are more severe than in any other part of Texas, with a rate nearly two times higher than the statewide average. If you were injured in a commercial truck accident, our firm can vigorously protect your rights and fight to hold negligent parties accountable.

Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident?
Liability in a truck accident claim can extend to numerous parties. Negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, and manufacturers can all cause significant harm to other motorists on the road. To determine liability, your attorney will evaluate the specific circumstances of the accident. Depending on the cause, various parties may be liable for injuries, including:
- Negligence: If the crash was caused by poor maintenance or careless operation, you may be able to sue the negligent truck driver, the trucking company, dram shops, social hosts, or other third parties.
- Vehicle defects: If the collision was caused by a defect in the truck, such as a faulty part or malfunctioning machinery, you may be able to sue safety inspectors, maintenance technicians, the owner of the eighteen-wheeler, the trucking company, auto parts designers, or manufacturers.
- Hazardous conditions: If dangerous road conditions contributed to the truck accident, you may be able to sue the City of Odessa, the Texas Department of Transportation, local government authorities, construction workers, contractors and subcontractors, safety inspectors, or other parties.
What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Truck Accident Claim?
Potential damages may include:
- Medical Expenses: This includes past and future medical costs for surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, medications, and more.
- Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: Victims unable to work during recovery or those who suffer permanent disabilities may seek compensation for lost income and diminished earning potential.
- Pain and Suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish resulting from the accident are recoverable.
- Property Damage: Restoration or replacement costs for your vehicle and other damaged belongings.
- Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the impact of the injuries on your relationship with your partner or family.
- Punitive Damages: In instances involving egregious negligence or recklessness, punitive damages could be granted to penalize the at-fault party and deter future misconduct.
Why Choose Our Proven Trial Lawyers?
After a commercial truck collision, it may be tempting to settle for the insurance company’s first offer—and some injury law firms might advise you to do just that. However, the vast majority of insurers will do everything in their power to evade a fair payout and protect their bottom line. Taking the first opportunity to settle can leave you waiting on a settlement that may never come.

"They made a significant recovery for me."
My husband was injured in a workplace accident in 2022. The first law firm he went to looked at his case and turned it down. he had all but decided to give up when he called the Kemmy's. They took his case and ran with it. In the end, they made a significant recovery for me. I highly recommend the Kemmy Law Firm.

"Nick was very open and transparent."
Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me. Nick was very open and transparent, and shared some of our frustrations. We were very please with him representing us. Thanks again Nick.

Everyone we worked with was amazing. They were so patient and explained everything in detail. They worked with my mom and then when she passed away the game plan changed and they made sure to explain everything. We were blessed to have them on our team. I would highly recommend them.
