Odessa Personal Injury Lawyer

The Odessa personal injury lawyers at The Patel Firm have an established track record of successfully securing justified compensation and protecting the legal rights of clients who have suffered personal injuries due to others’ negligence.

Odessa is a major city in Western Texas that, in combination with Midland, has a population of more than a quarter-million people, and the city relies heavily on the oil industry for employment. Odessa is also home to a number of attractions, so people who are working in Odessa as well as people who are merely visiting can easily suffer injuries in a wide variety of possible accidents, and it is important for any person who does sustain injuries in an accident involving the negligence of another party to quickly contact an Odessa personal injury lawyer.

It is important for all people to understand that they usually have the right to seek financial compensation for all of the costs they now bear because of accidents, whether it is medical expenses, lost wages, or even basic pain and suffering. Insurance companies often handle most injury claims on behalf of negligent parties but rarely ever play fair in their evaluations of injury claims, so it becomes critical for all victims to make sure they retain legal counsel for assistance in recovering everything they need and deserve.

“This is a wonderful law firm that has treated me like family, and at times, better than my own family. Every time I had concerns, even frustrations, about how my case was progressing, they were always responsive to me and helped alleviate my worries by guiding me through the process, which can be arduous and confusing for some, including me.”

– Joseph R.

The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries from the Texas Department of Insurance shows 469 fatal occupational injuries in Texas included 92 percent being private sector employees in 431 incidents and the other 38 incidents involving public or governmental sector employees. Construction accounted for 127 fatalities, followed by transportation and warehousing with 96, natural resources and mining with 54, professional and business services with 45, manufacturing with 29, leisure and hospitality with 15, educational and health services with seven, and 14 deaths that were other services.

Being injured in a car accident as a result of someone else’s negligence puts you in the especially difficult position of facing physical, financial, and emotional challenges, but an experienced Austin personal injury lawyer has the keen legal insight and drive to help.

If you have been injured by the negligence of someone else, it leaves you at an extreme disadvantage. You have medical concerns to address; your earnings may have decreased, and the pain and suffering you experience can make everything else that much more difficult. Obtaining compensation that covers your losses (or damages) in their entirety is critical, but the vulnerable state you find yourself in can make doing so extremely difficult. Having an experienced Odessa personal injury lawyer on your side can mean the difference between obtaining the compensation to which you are entitled and not doing so.

Odessa Chiropractors

Chiropractic care can often be the most effective course of treatment for a person’s injury symptoms. Whereas traditional doctor visits can result in people being prescribed medication to deal with injuries, chiropractors can be more capable of addressing certain underlying issues.

Many accident victims are dealing with soft tissue injuries that are not visible to the naked eye, but such injuries can cause pain in a person’s neck, back, or other body parts. A chiropractor often knows how to help adjust a person’s spine to help treat these injuries.

Chiropractors also know how to remove structural or nerve irritation that could be causing neck or back pain. In addition to supporting long-term healing, chiropractors can know how to help people regain movement and mobility.

See All Practice Areas

Car Accidents

Most car accident cases will involve claims against other negligent drivers who usually have insurance companies representing them, and insurers are going to try and argue their clients were not at fault or otherwise minimize their responsibility for wrecks.

Oil Field Injuries

Many oilfield workers do enjoy workers’ compensation coverage but workers’ compensation only provides a fraction of a worker’s regular earnings.

18-Wheeler Accidents

Truck accidents can be more complicated because, whereas another driver is typically clearly at fault for the standard motor vehicle collision, multiple parties may share liability for a truck accident.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death refers to an injury causing an individual's death when the injury is because of another person's or their representative's wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default.
