Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law
In Texas, personal injury law allows victims to seek compensation when someone else’s negligence causes harm. But winning a claim requires more than filing paperwork; it takes evidence, legal experience, and the persistence to challenge insurance companies that will do everything possible to avoid paying.
Texas follows a comparative negligence rule, which means your compensation can be reduced if you are found partly at fault for the accident. If you are less than 51 percent responsible, you can still recover damages. Bret Griffin works to ensure that fault is assigned fairly and that victims get the full value of their claims.
Our firm handles all aspects of your case, including:
Investigating the accident scene
Collecting witness statements and physical evidence

Accidents and Injuries in the Texas Panhandle
Dumas and the surrounding areas are vital to Texas’s agricultural and energy industries, but those same industries expose workers and residents to a high risk of injury. Whether the accident happens on the highway, in a field, or on an oil rig, our firm has the experience to handle it.
Oilfield and Industrial Accidents
The Panhandle region is home to numerous oil and gas operations. When safety rules are ignored, workers can suffer burns, chemical exposure, amputations, or other catastrophic injuries. Common causes include equipment failure, explosions, and negligence by contractors or supervisors. Bret Griffin holds these companies accountable and fights to ensure injured workers receive full compensation.
Agricultural and Farm Accidents
Agriculture drives the Dumas economy, but working with large machinery and livestock is dangerous. Tractor rollovers, equipment entanglements, and chemical exposure can all cause serious injuries or fatalities. Our firm helps victims and families navigate these complex cases and recover for their losses.
Highway and Truck Accidents
Highways 287 and 87 are busy with both local traffic and heavy commercial trucking. Collisions involving 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles can lead to devastating injuries. Bret Griffin and his team investigate every detail, from driver logs to vehicle maintenance records, to prove liability and demand justice.
Workplace and Construction Injuries
Construction projects and industrial sites throughout the Panhandle present constant hazards. Falls, electrocutions, and heavy machinery accidents can leave workers permanently disabled. We represent both workers’ compensation and third-party injury claims, depending on the situation.
We understand how accidents in Dumas affect families and communities. When tragedy strikes, we make sure you are not alone.
