Derrick Accidents

An oil derrick injury demands the skills of a tough-minded attorney

Oil derrick workers have one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. They risk falling from great heights (a derrick may stand hundreds of feet from the ground). Furthermore, workers on the ground may get struck by falling equipment or debris.

Serious injuries in derrick accidents

A worker can sustain a catastrophic injury in a flash while working on or near a derrick. A fall can lead to broken bones or fractures or debilitating injuries such as spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries. Injury victims may need a strong legal advocate to help recover compensation to pay for medical bills, lost wages, physical therapy and other losses. Our lawyers fight hard for the compensation our clients deserve.

In a job accident, someone other than the employer may be liable for injuries. We will examine the circumstances of the accident to see if any third party claims are necessary. Workers on derricks must rely on safety equipment. Any type of flaw or defect in the equipment can lead to a catastrophic injury or even death, which could be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit.
