Oil Rig/ Well Accidents

A personal injury lawyer in Texas may be able to help

Oil rig or well accidents can happen due to lack of proper training or lack of safeguards. In some cases, the injured oil rig worker is hurt because of negligence on the part of a contractor other than an employer.

If you or someone you know was injured in an oil rig accident because of negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Cases involving negligence of parties other than your employer may qualify for a third-party claim. To learn more, contact a Texas personal injury lawyer focused on results.

How an oil rig accident can happen

An oil rig accident may be the result of a company pressuring workers to work long periods of strenuous labor without adequate rest. In South Texas, Eagle Ford Shale accidents are not uncommon, as oil companies sometimes put production and profits ahead of safety. They may be compelled to ignore proper safety procedures in an effort to work faster. Our oil rig accident attorneys in San Antonio understand how to put our resources and experience to work in any type of oil field accident.
