    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.

      • Improper Maintenance: Failing to maintain or inspect a truck properly can result in mechanical failures, like brake or tire malfunctions.

      • Driving Under the Influence: Impaired drivers jeopardize the safety of everyone on the road.
      • Distracted Driving: Truck drivers who text, eat, or engage in other distractions increase the risk of catastrophic accidents.

      Common Injuries in Truck Accidents

      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.
