The Permian Basin around Midland and Odessa is one of the most productive oil regions in the world, and its roads are clogged with heavy trucks, tankers, and equipment haulers. I-20, SH-158, and rural energy-corridor roads see frequent, severe crashes.
Boomtown Roads
Fatigued drivers, oversized loads, and two-lane highways combine dangerously.

Oilfield work is hazardous, with risks of falls, explosions, equipment failures, and toxic exposure. Many energy employers are workers'-comp nonsubscribers, which can allow injured workers to sue directly for negligence.
Third-party claims against contractors and equipment makers are also common.
