The Pecos Train-Truck Collision: What Happened and What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this page, someone you love was on that Union Pacific train, or inside that building in Pecos when a tractor-trailer stopped on the tracks and the world came apart. You are sitting with a grief that has not yet found its shape, or with a pain in your body you are trying to tell yourself is nothing, while the insurance company’s first call is already coming. We are writing this page to you — not to explain the news, which you already know, but to tell you what the news does not say: what your rights actually are, what the companies are already doing to protect themselves, and what is disappearing right now that your family will never get back if someone does not act to freeze it. A tractor-trailer hauling heavy equipment came to a stop on active Union Pacific railroad tracks at a crossing in Pecos, Reeves County, Texas, in December 2024.

Big Spring I-20 Wrong-Way Crash: Three Dead, Fourteen Injured When Ford F-350 Hits Andrews ISD Band Bus Head-On If you are reading this because someone you love was on that bus — or because you are living through something like it right now, on a different highway, on a different night — you are in a place where the world has stopped making sense. A child left for a football game. A band trip. A Friday night in West Texas that should have ended with instruments unloaded in a school parking lot. Instead it ended with helicopters, a fire on the interstate, and a phone call no parent is built to receive. We need to tell you something straight, before anything else: the legal deadlines for the November 2021 crash on I-20 near Big Spring have passed. The two-year window to file most claims has closed. But the law that governed that crash — the rights it created, the evidence it required, the traps it set for families who did not know the rules — is the same law that governs the next crash. And the next one is always coming. That is why this page exists: not to reopen…

A 22-Year-Old Man Is Gone Because Someone Crossed the Center Line on FM 1788 — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now You are reading this because someone you love is not coming home. A 22-year-old man from Midland was driving north on Farm-to-Market Road 1788 in Andrews County on a Friday morning in late June 2026, and a cargo van coming the other direction pulled out to pass — into his lane, into his path, into the last seconds of his life. The Texas Department of Public Safety has already said, in its preliminary findings, that the van’s driver attempted to pass another southbound vehicle on the left “when it was unsafe to do so.” That is not a euphemism. That is a description of a man who drove his vehicle into oncoming traffic and killed someone. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happens next — what the law allows, what the insurance company is already doing, what evidence is disappearing while you read this, and what the single most important question in this case turns out to be. None of it is guesswork. All of it is what we have spent decades…

When the Machine You Trusted Takes Your Leg — Motorcycle Product Liability in Odessa, Ector County You bought a new motorcycle from a dealership on West Highway 80 in Odessa. You paid premium money for a premium bike — a 2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide, the top of their custom line. Within weeks, the electrical system started acting up: the radio cutting out, the phone disconnecting, and at least once, the engine losing power. You took it back. Three or four times, you took it back. You told them you did not want it anymore. They told you it was not a big problem and could be fixed. They did not fix it. They did not tell you about any defects or recalls. And then on May 4, 2024, the motorcycle suddenly and without warning lost all power — and you were thrown from it. You lost your right leg below the knee. We are writing this page for the person sitting in a rehabilitation room right now, or the family member searching at 2 a.m. for answers about what happened on that road in the Permian Basin.

The Andrews County Crash: What Happened on That Two-Lane Highway — and What the Law Says About It If you are reading this because someone you love was killed or critically injured in a head-on collision on a rural Texas highway, you are in a moment that no one should have to face alone. Nine people died on a two-lane road in Andrews County on the evening of March 15, 2022 — six students and a coach from a university golf team, the driver of the pickup that crossed into their path, and a thirteen-year-old boy riding with him. Two more students were flown by helicopter to a trauma center in Lubbock, more than a hundred miles away. Both vehicles caught fire. The road’s speed limit was seventy-five miles per hour, and there was no center barrier separating the opposing lanes. We are writing this because the legal questions a crash like this raises are not simple, and the answers matter to every family who has ever lost someone on a rural two-lane highway in West Texas. This page is legal information, not legal advice — and we are not the counsel of record for anyone involved in this specific…
