Oil Field Injuries

OIL FIELD INJURIES

Assistance in Oil FIELD INJURY Litigations

Oil field workers have a far higher risk of injury or death on the job compared to the average worker—and unfortunately, the injuries sustained by oil field workers also tend to be severe. Given the number of oil fields in Texas, it should come as no surprise that oil field injury lawsuits are also common. If you’ve been injured in the oil field or a loved one’s life has been tragically cut short while working in the drilling industry, don’t settle for anything less than what you deserve, it's important to know your legal rights and what potential recourse you have against the oil and gas company. Whether caused by heavy equipment failures, insufficient training, inadequate supervision, or failing to use proper safeguards, an experienced trial lawyer at Lapeze & Johns will not only help you recover, but ensure you and your family are taken care of throughout the entire case. While the types of injuries vary, our professional and aggressive approach will always be consistent.

TYPES OF OIL & GAS CLAIMS

Legal claims against oil and gas companies tend to fall into one or more of a few categories:

  • Defective equipment, tools, or materials
  • Insufficient safety measures
  • Inadequate and out-of-date safety equipment
  • Lack of training



Meanwhile, the most common types of injuries sustained by oil and gas workers include: 

  • Finger and limb loss
  • Bone fractures
  • Severe burns 
  • Injuries to the back, neck, and spinal cord
  • Hearing loss
  • Eye injuries
  • Chemical burns
  • Head and brain injuries
  • Lung or organ damage after exposure to chemical fumes

Help when you need it

Some of these injuries may be immediately apparent, while others, especially illnesses sustained after chemical exposure, may take years to develop. In either event, it's important to talk to an experienced oil and gas injury attorney as soon as you can so you don't miss out on your opportunity to claim fair compensation for your injuries.
