Overview of Our Services in Odessa
Serious personal injury cases can arise in many different circumstances. Grossman Law Offices handles cases involving:
- Commercial truck and 18-wheeler accidents
- Oilfield and workplace accidents

- Wrongful death

Truck & 18-Wheeler Accidents in the Permian Basin
Commercial trucks are a constant presence in the Permian Basin. Perhaps you were injured in an 18-wheeler collision on I-20, Loop 338, US 385, or another road serving Odessa’s industrial and oilfield traffic. A truck accident can raise questions that go far beyond whether the driver made a mistake.
Potentially responsible parties may include a driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, contractor, cargo-related business, or another company whose actions contributed to the collision. Evidence can include electronic logging data, maintenance and inspection records, driver qualification materials, company documents, electronic vehicle data, and accident-scene evidence. Grossman Law Offices has decades of experience investigating serious truck crashes and has obtained multimillion-dollar results in commercial truck and vehicle cases.
Dram Shop Claims
When an intoxicated person causes a serious crash, responsibility may not always end with that driver. Texas Dram Shop Law can permit a claim against an alcohol provider under specific circumstances. Generally, the evidence must show that when alcohol was provided, it was apparent the recipient was obviously intoxicated to the point of presenting a clear danger to themselves and others, and that the person’s intoxication proximately caused the damages at issue. Evidence can include receipts, payment records, surveillance video, witness statements, and information showing how much alcohol was served.
Grossman Law Offices has handled Texas dram shop cases for decades and has recovered millions in these matters, including multimillion-dollar results involving brain injuries and wrongful deaths. The firm also emphasizes direct access to the attorney handling the case.
Serious Work Accidents and Catastrophic Injuries
Construction sites, drilling operations, warehouses, industrial facilities, and other workplaces can produce devastating injuries when equipment fails or safety procedures break down. After a serious workplace accident, preserve as much information as possible. That can include medical records, photographs, witness contact information, incident reports, safety documents, equipment information, and communications concerning the accident. A personal injury lawyer can investigate whether a third-party bears responsibility in addition to evaluating how Texas workers’ compensation or non-subscriber laws affect the case.
Odessa Oilfield Accident Representation
Oil and gas operations are central to the Permian Basin, but an oilfield accident can leave a worker with burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, crush injuries, amputations, or other conditions requiring extensive medical care. Texas workplace injury law requires careful analysis because most private employers are not required to carry workers’ compensation insurance.
Employers that choose not to participate in the Texas workers’ compensation system are known as non-subscribers. An accident can also involve a third party other than the injured worker’s employer. Depending on the circumstances, that could include a contractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, trucking company, or another business at the site.
Car Accident and Auto Injury Cases
Car accidents can also produce serious personal injury cases, particularly when a collision causes lasting physical limitations or extensive medical treatment. After a crash, evidence may include police reports, photographs, witness information, medical records, surveillance or dash-camera footage, and documentation of lost income. Insurance adjusters may ask for recorded statements or seek information that affects how they evaluate the claim. Before providing a detailed recorded statement to another party’s insurer, consider speaking with an attorney about your rights and obligations.

What Must Be Proven in a Texas Injury Claim?
The requirements vary according to the legal claim. In a typical Texas negligence case, however, the injured person generally must establish that the defendant owed a legal duty, breached that duty, and caused injuries and legally recognized damages as a result. Damages may include medical expenses, lost income or earning capacity, physical impairment, pain, and other losses allowed under Texas law.
Texas also applies proportionate-responsibility rules. A claimant generally cannot recover if their percentage of responsibility is greater than 50%. If the claimant is 50% or less responsible, recoverable damages can generally be reduced according to that assigned percentage.
