Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law
Texas personal injury law is designed to protect people who are harmed because of someone else’s negligence. When another person or company acts carelessly, and you suffer the consequences, you have the right to pursue compensation for your losses.
However, the process is not always straightforward. Insurance adjusters often try to limit your recovery or claim that you were partly at fault. Texas uses a comparative negligence system, meaning that if you are found to be less than 51 percent responsible, you can still recover compensation. The amount you receive may be reduced based on your level of fault.
That is why having an experienced personal injury lawyer is essential. Bret Griffin knows how to collect evidence, build strong cases, and present the facts clearly so that blame cannot be unfairly shifted to you.

Oilfield, Industrial, and Highway Accidents in Big Spring
Big Spring and the surrounding West Texas region are at the center of the oil and gas industry. With drilling sites, refineries, and transportation hubs nearby, industrial and oilfield accidents are among the most serious and complex cases we handle.
Oilfield and Industrial Accidents
Working around heavy machinery, flammable materials, and high-pressure systems carries enormous risk. When safety standards are ignored, workers can suffer catastrophic injuries such as burns, amputations, or spinal cord damage. Common causes include:
Equipment failures and blowouts
Improper maintenance or inspections
Exposure to toxic substances
Explosions and fires
Lack of training or supervision
Our firm has handled numerous oilfield and industrial accident cases throughout Texas. We work with safety engineers, industry experts, and medical specialists to uncover the truth and hold negligent companies accountable.
Highway and Trucking Accidents
Interstate 20 runs directly through Big Spring, carrying thousands of vehicles and commercial trucks every day. Crashes involving 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles can be devastating. Causes often include fatigue, speeding, mechanical failure, or distracted driving.
We represent drivers, passengers, and pedestrians injured in serious roadway accidents and pursue compensation for their injuries, vehicle damage, and long-term losses.
Workplace and Construction Accidents
Construction and maintenance work is common throughout West Texas. Unsafe job sites, defective equipment, and inadequate safety measures often lead to severe injuries. Bret Griffin helps injured workers file both personal injury and workers’ compensation claims when appropriate.
We understand the risks that come with hard work — and we fight to protect the people who keep Texas running.
