An unexpected injury can change your work, your routine, and your plans for your family. In Odessa, a crash on Loop 338, an injury at a park or restaurant, an accident at work, or an incident involving the oil and gas industry can leave you dealing with medical treatment and other serious consequences. If someone else injured you, you may have a personal injury case.
Personal injury cases can involve car crashes, truck accidents, workplace injuries, oilfield accidents, premises liability, defective products, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. At Anderson, Cummings & Drawhorn, our personal injury lawyers in Odessa can investigate what happened, identify the parties involved, and pursue the compensation available under Texas law for the harm you suffered.
Many settings can lead to personal injury cases. A driver may cause a crash on Loop 338, Highway 191, or another roadway in Odessa. A truck collision can involve a commercial driver, trucking company, or other businesses. A person visiting a store or other property may be injured because of an unsafe condition.
Work-related injuries can involve different legal claims, particularly when an accident occurs at an oilfield or construction site or involves an employer that doesn’t carry workers’ compensation insurance. An employer’s workers’ compensation status can affect whether an employee has a separate personal injury claim. Our personal injury attorneys in Odessa can identify the facts of each accident to determine what type of claim may be available to you and who may be responsible.
Evidence can help show what happened, who caused the accident, and how the injury affected you. Depending on the case, this may include photographs, video, witness statements, police or incident reports, medical records, employment records, and other documents. Oilfield, construction, and workplace cases may also involve safety records, equipment information, maintenance records, or other worksite documents. Preserving this evidence early can protect records and information that may otherwise be lost.
The person who caused an accident may not be the only party responsible for your injuries. Your claim could involve a negligent driver, employer, contractor, property owner, business, equipment manufacturer, or another party whose conduct contributed to the accident.
For example, an injury at a worksite may involve several companies with different responsibilities. An oilfield truck crash may involve the driver, the company that dispatched the load, and the operator of the well site. Our Odessa personal injury lawyers can determine the responsible parties to identify which insurance policies or other sources of recovery may apply.
Depending on your injury, you may miss work, have trouble performing your usual job, need help with everyday activities, or face ongoing medical treatment. An injury that prevents you from returning to a physically demanding job can create concerns about both your current income and your ability to work in the future. Your medical records and other evidence can help document these effects.
You generally have two years to bring a personal injury lawsuit. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003(a) sets forth the general deadline, although exceptions may apply. Waiting can also make it more difficult to locate witnesses and preserve evidence. If you were injured in Odessa, having your case evaluated early by our Odessa personal injury lawyers can help you understand the deadline that applies to your case.
If you were injured in a car crash, truck accident, workplace incident, oilfield accident, premises accident, or another event in Odessa, you may have more than an insurance claim to consider. To learn more about your case in a no-cost consultation with our Odessa personal injury lawyers, contact Anderson, Cummings & Drawhorn at 817-920-9000 or online.
Client Reviews

If you want a lawyer who actually delivers and gets you the compensation you deserve, look no further. Highly recommended!"
"I had such an amazing experience with this law firm! Adam Drawhorn took the time to explain all the options available to me and made sure that I understood each step of the process.

"My wife and I were in a serious accident and she sustained serious injuries. John was recommended by a co-worker. I have never had to deal with injuries due to a car wreck and the negligence of someone else so I was in unfamiliar territory. John was very understanding and patient and took the time to meet with us anytime we had questions and Mrs. Alvarez was on top of everything and very professional. I hope and pray we never have to go through this again but if we do John will be my first call."
