Lubbock Oilfield Accident Lawyers
Lubbock County doesn’t produce much oil itself, but Permian Basin counties producing more than 1.5 million barrels a month are a short drive south and west.

That work is dangerous, and too often the danger comes from a company decision: a rushed job, skipped maintenance, or a crew pushed through bad conditions. If your employer carries workers’ comp, you generally can’t sue your employer, but you may still have a claim against the operator, other contractors, and equipment makers whose negligence hurt you. If your employer chose not to carry comp, you can sue it directly, and Texas takes away its favorite defenses, including blaming you. You still have to prove the employer was negligent, and that’s what we do. Our West Texas injury lawyers handle oilfield accidents across the Permian Basin, from rig explosions to falls from the derrick.
Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death Cases in Lubbock
Some injuries change everything: burns, brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations, the loss of a parent or a child. When that happens, Lubbock families have UMC close by, a Level I trauma center and home of the Timothy J. Harnar Burn Center. What they also need is a firm that can prove what the injury will cost over a lifetime and make the responsible company pay all of it.
We represent Lubbock families after catastrophic injuries from crashes, plant and construction accidents, farm and industrial equipment, and dangerous property. In Texas, a wrongful death claim belongs to the surviving spouse, children, and parents. Every case is personal to us, and we treat these families like our own.
Where Lubbock Injury Cases Are Filed
Serious injury cases filed in Lubbock are generally heard in the district courts at the Lubbock County Courthouse, 904 Broadway. Depending on where the companies involved are based and where the injury happened, a case may also belong in another county. Choosing where to file is one of the first strategic decisions we make, and it can change the value of a case.
Texas Law After a Lubbock Accident
Texas generally gives you two years from the injury to file a lawsuit, or two years from the date of death in a wrongful death case. But logs, footage, and witness memories fade long before that, so the sooner we start, the stronger your case. Texas also reduces your recovery by your share of the blame, and you recover nothing if you’re found more than 50% responsible. Insurers know that, which is why so many of them try to pin the crash on the person who got hurt. We build the case from logs, data, and witness accounts to show what really happened.
