Oil Field Injuries

Oil Field Injuries

Oil field workers face a multitude of dangers, from operating heavy machinery to enduring harsh weather conditions. The world of the oil field is a tough one. It is not uncommon for one to have lost a finger or have some kind of mishap on site. These kinds of incidents include things such as vehicle collisions, fires, exposure to dangerous substances and equipment malfunctions, just to name a few. Most things in the oil field are heavy and dangerous so it is not uncommon for these type of incidents to result in serious injuries or even fatalities. 

In the event of an injury, seeking compensation is vital for covering medical expenses and lost wages. While not mandatory in Texas, some employers offer workers’ compensation, providing medical benefits and income support based on the severity of the injury.

Beyond workers’ compensation, injured workers may file suit against lease holders, suppliers, contractors or other negligent parties. This includes employers failing to provide safe working conditions, contractors violating regulations, or manufacturers producing defective equipment. These “third party claims” offer a broader scope of compensation, encompassing medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
