Put Us in Charge of Your Case After an Accident
After a serious accident, it is not always clear what steps to take next. Medical bills may begin to pile up, insurance companies may start asking questions, and the full impact of the injury may still be unknown. Oftentimes, what people know to do is talk to an attorney, and we hope that you’ll call us at (844) 297-8898 before any others, so we can put our talents to good use.
We can help with all parts of your personal injury claim, such as:
- Conducting a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident

- Preserving evidence and working with expert witnesses
- Handling all communication with insurance companies

Compensation in a Personal Injury Claim
A serious injury can affect nearly every aspect of your life. From financial strain to long-term health challenges, the consequences often extend far beyond the initial incident. Our Odessa personal injury attorneys work to pursue compensation that reflects the full scope of these losses for every client.
Depending on the case, compensation may include the following and more:
- Medical expenses, both current and future
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering

Record Verdicts Achieved

For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.

In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.
-
The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.
