Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law
Texas personal injury law gives victims the right to pursue compensation when they are hurt due to someone else’s negligence. But standing up to insurance companies or corporations is not easy, especially when they have teams of attorneys working to protect their bottom line.
Texas follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning that if you are found partially at fault, your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you are less than 51 percent at fault, you can still collect compensation. This rule makes having an experienced attorney essential, as even a small shift in blame can dramatically affect your case.
Our firm handles every step of the process, including:
Investigating the cause of your accident
Collecting evidence and witness statements
Negotiating with insurance companies
Representing you in court if a fair settlement is not offered

Accidents and Injuries in Rural South-Central Texas
While Nixon is a small community, serious accidents are not uncommon. Many residents travel daily along busy rural highways, work in energy-related jobs, or perform physically demanding labor in fields and factories.
Auto and Truck Accidents
Highway 87, FM 1117, and other local routes see frequent traffic from commercial vehicles and oilfield trucks. When drivers are distracted, fatigued, or speeding, the results can be catastrophic. Our firm represents victims of collisions involving cars, pickups, 18-wheelers, and company vehicles, working to secure full compensation for their injuries.
Oilfield and Industrial Accidents
Oilfield operations near Nixon play a key role in the regional economy but carry significant dangers. Explosions, fires, chemical exposure, and equipment failures can cause devastating injuries or fatalities. Bret Griffin understands the complexity of these cases and works with industrial safety experts to identify violations and hold companies accountable.
Workplace and Agricultural Accidents
From farming equipment malfunctions to falls in warehouses and construction zones, workplace accidents in rural Texas can have lasting consequences. We handle both workers’ compensation claims and third-party personal injury lawsuits when negligence is involved.
In Nixon and surrounding communities, resources can be limited, and access to specialized medical care is not always immediate. That is why it is essential to have a lawyer who can coordinate care, build a strong case, and pursue every available source of compensation.
