A neck injury or chronic back pain as a result of an oil rig accident may leave you unable to work or support your family. Even a non-life threatening oil field injury to the hand or shoulder may keep you off your job forever. More serious injuries such as a head injury or burn injury from an explosion or electrical fire can lead to permanent disability or even death, which may be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. Our San Antonio personal injury lawyers are here to help oil rig workers injured in accidents.

We can investigate the accident and determine if third-party liability exists (when someone other than your employer is liable in the accident).
