Personal Injury Attorneys in Midland, TX

Serious representation for Midland injury victims facing life-altering harm.

Midland sits at the heart of the Permian Basin, where energy operations and rapid growth collide with everyday life. Heavy industrial traffic, oilfield activity, and long stretches of high-speed roadway increase the risk of severe accidents. When safety shortcuts lead to serious injury, the consequences can follow you for years.

At Potts Law Firm, our Midland personal injury attorneys step in to hold negligent parties accountable. We focus on what the injury means going forward, not just what happened that day.

Representing Injury Victims Across Midland County

Personal injury claims in Midland involve distinct local factors: oilfield traffic, oversized commercial vehicles, remote work sites, rapid population growth, and roadways built to handle heavy industrial use. These conditions shape how accidents happen and how insurance companies defend them. 

From downtown Midland and Loop 250 to surrounding areas throughout Midland County, we represent accident victims with preparation and persistence.

Our Personal Injury Services in Midland

Focused representation for injuries tied to roadways, oilfield operations, worksites, and commercial properties.

Car Accidents

Traffic congestion along Loop 250, Highway 191, and FM roads increases the risk of high-impact collisions. When distracted, impaired, or reckless drivers cause harm, we document fault and pursue compensation tied to medical care, lost income, and long-term effects.

Truck Accidents

Midland sees a constant flow of commercial trucks servicing oil and gas operations. When fatigue, overloaded vehicles, or poor maintenance contribute to crashes, we investigate driver logs, safety records, and corporate policies that place profits over safety.

Machine & Equipment Injuries

Industrial and oilfield machinery can cause devastating harm when safety systems fail or warnings are ignored. We handle injury claims involving malfunctioning equipment, unsafe worksite practices, and third-party negligence that put workers at risk.

Premises Liability & Slip and Fall Injuries

Commercial buildings, hotels, apartment complexes, and job sites throughout Midland must be maintained safely. When property owners ignore hazards or fail to warn visitors, we pursue accountability under Texas premises liability law.

Wrongful Death

Fatal accidents leave families searching for answers while facing sudden financial strain. We help Midland families pursue accountability and recovery while managing the legal burden with care and resolve.

Oilfield & Industrial Accidents

Energy sector work carries an elevated risk. Equipment failures, inadequate training, and unsafe job sites can lead to devastating injuries. We pursue accountability across contractors, operators, and third parties.

Why Choose Our Midland Personal Injury Attorneys?

Midland injury cases are shaped by the Permian Basin’s heavy commercial traffic, oilfield operations, and remote job sites. Insurers and energy companies often act quickly to limit liability, making early, informed action critical.

Our Midland personal injury lawyers understand how accidents unfold here. We build cases around local conditions, including industrial work schedules, trucking routes, and the medical and economic realities of West Texas injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after an oilfield or industrial accident in Midland?

Get medical care right away, even if injuries are not immediately obvious. Report the incident according to worksite procedures, but avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters or company representatives before speaking with a lawyer. Oilfield and industrial accidents often involve multiple parties, so preserving evidence early can affect your ability to recover compensation.

Who can be held responsible for an oilfield accident in Midland?

Responsibility may extend beyond an employer. Depending on how the accident happened, liable parties can include site operators, subcontractors, trucking companies, equipment manufacturers, or third-party vendors. Determining who controlled the worksite or equipment is a key part of these cases.

What compensation is available after a serious injury in Midland?

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, future medical care, rehabilitation costs, and pain related to the injury. In severe cases, damages may also reflect long-term disability and ongoing care needs.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Midland, TX?

Texas law generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. Certain cases, such as those involving government entities or wrongful death, may have shorter deadlines, so timing matters.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you were less than 51% responsible for the accident, you may still recover maximum compensation, though the amount may be reduced based on your share of fault.
