Midland Personal Injury Attorneys

Why The Ammons Law Firm for Your Midland Personal Injury Case?

Our firm has handled serious personal injury cases for over three decades. We have taken on corporate defendants on behalf of people who were seriously hurt, and we have not avoided the courtroom when the case required it. Hundreds of cases in our history have resulted in verdicts or settlements well into seven figures.

We take cases on a contingency fee basis. There is no fee unless we recover for you.

What separates serious litigation from claim management is preparation. Insurance carriers evaluate cases based on the strength of the opposition. We prepare cases as if they will go to trial, because some of them do.

Cases Our Midland Personal Injury Lawyers Handle

Midland presents a specific pattern of serious injury exposure. The city’s own traffic data shows Loop 250 and the Interstate corridors accounting for a disproportionate share of crashes within city limits year after year. The oilfield operations surrounding Midland create round-the-clock workplace hazards. Texas law also permits injured workers to file direct negligence lawsuits against employers who opt out of the workers’ compensation system, and a significant portion of Texas employers have done exactly that.

The cases we take from this area reflect what actually happens here:

• Trucks accident injuries on Loop 250 and I-20 where the insurance carrier’s offer does not reflect the actual damage
• Oilfield and energy sector workplace injuries where third-party fault exists outside the workers’ compensation system
• Non-subscriber employer claims where a company opted out of workers’ compensation coverage, opening direct civil liability under Texas law
• Defective industrial equipment cases where the manufacturer disputes liability from the start
• Wrongful death cases where a family needs real accountability, not a settlement formula designed to limit payout

Does Your Situation Qualify as a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim exists when someone else’s negligence caused your injury. Negligence is a failure to act with reasonable care under the circumstances. That standard applies whether the at-fault party is a driver, an employer, a property owner, or a product manufacturer.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001. If you share some responsibility for what happened, that does not automatically eliminate your right to recover. As long as your percentage of fault does not exceed fifty percent, you may still pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Your damages are reduced in proportion to your share of fault, but they are not eliminated.

If you are uncertain whether you have a claim, the answer is not to wait. Evidence disappears. A conversation with a Midland personal injury lawyer costs you nothing at this stage.

Compensation and Deadlines in a Midland Personal Injury Case

A personal injury lawsuit in Texas can recover two categories of damages. Economic damages cover the direct financial costs: medical treatment and lost income, including future care expenses. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering and the lasting human cost of a serious injury.

The filing deadline in Texas is governed by Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003. In most personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file suit. That period does not pause while you negotiate with an insurance carrier or wait on a settlement offer. If the deadline passes without a filed lawsuit, your claim is barred regardless of how strong it is.
