Work injuries are serious — and so are your legal rights. Find out how Larsen & Mender helps injured workers across Eastern New Mexico and West Texas get the compensation they deserve.
A Serious Injury Shouldn’t Leave You Without a Plan
If you were injured while working in Eastern New Mexico or West Texas, you’re likely dealing with more than just pain. There are bills piling up, calls from insurance adjusters, missed workdays — and probably a lot of uncertainty about what comes next.
These injuries don’t just happen in big cities or headline-making explosions. Around here, we see them happen on rural job sites, highways outside of Hobbs, or manufacturing plants just over the state line. And when they do, they can completely derail your life and your ability to support your family.
At Larsen & Mender, we help people through this kind of moment. We focus on getting answers, securing compensation, and helping you take back control of your future.
What These Cases Actually Look Like Around Here
This region has its own rhythm and risks. From Clovis to Portales, and across the border into West Texas, we’ve seen injuries come out of all kinds of industries. Transportation jobs involving long-haul routes and semi-truck traffic are common, especially along roads like US-70 or US-285. We’ve also seen serious accidents in industrial settings — places like small manufacturing hubs, warehouses, and facilities tied to the oil and gas economy.
There are also still a surprising number of railroad and agricultural injuries, where safety protocols don’t always match the pace of the work being done.
The people in these jobs tend to work hard and say little — until the injury gets worse, or they realize the system that’s supposed to help them isn’t stepping up. By the time they call, they’re usually frustrated, exhausted, and unsure if there’s even anything they can do.
Workers’ Comp Isn’t the Whole Picture
Many injured workers assume they just have to deal with what workers’ comp offers — and that’s often not enough. Depending on the circumstances, your injury may involve third-party negligence, unsafe conditions, or faulty equipment that opens the door to a broader legal claim.
This is where having a legal team that’s familiar with local industries, job sites, and courtrooms makes a real difference. We don’t just fill out forms — we investigate, ask hard questions, and go after the full recovery you’re entitled to.
The Sooner You Act, the Stronger Your Case
Job sites change fast, and so do memories. If you’ve been injured, it’s important to get someone involved who can preserve evidence, document your injuries properly, and start the claims process while your story is still fresh.
We step in early to take the pressure off. No more guessing what to say to insurance. No more navigating deadlines and legal terms alone. Just a clear next step and a plan to move forward.
We Work Where You Work
Our clients come from every corner of Eastern New Mexico and West Texas — from rail towns and ag communities to folks driving in and out of Hobbs, Portales, Clovis, and beyond. These aren’t “big city” cases with corporate playbooks. They’re local, personal, and often hard-won.
We know what it means to advocate for someone who’s just trying to get through the day without being taken advantage of. And we take that responsibility seriously.
