Contact UsOur attorneys are powerful advocates for individuals and the families of individuals who have been injured or killed as the result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of another person or organization.

Plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death cases can be difficult. Insurance companies are interested in minimizing their exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred.

We know their tactics. Our experience in severe injury cases enables us to protect the rights, health, and safety of you and your family.

Oil field accidents are often catastrophic and include:
Oil field injuries are often serious and can lead to permanent or partial disability and death. Typical injuries include burns, electrocutions, broken spinal cords and necks, head injuries, lost arms and legs, and damage from toxic chemicals.
Many factors contribute to the dangers of working in the oilfields including:
Unsafe working conditions – Oilfield workers must contend with heavy, moving machinery, pipes, and chains, work on elevated platforms on the rig, and deal with hazardous weather conditions. They are often forced to work for long periods of time without adequate rest, and forced to ignore established safety standards in order to keep the drilling rig operating at a fast and high profit rate.
Untrained subcontractors and worker inexperience – According to OSHA’s Industry Profile statistics, the majority of people hurt at oil and gas well drilling sites have been on the job less than 11 months.
“I fight for justice in the toughest cases—whether it’s a defective medical device, a catastrophic industrial accident, or standing up for the injured against powerful corporations. Every client deserves a voice, and I’m here to make sure it’s heard.”
Poor safety standards -Requirements for reporting injuries are vague and subject to interpretation by operators and leaseholders. The government requires the reporting of serious injuries, but the term “serious” was never defined. The increased use of subcontractors has created uncertainty over legitimate authority and decision-making, and confusion over safety procedures. Government agencies responsible for enforcing the rules rarely dole out tough penalties.
Equipment failures – Oil field equipment failures occur because of metal fatigue improper use, inadequate maintenance, overstress, corrosion, , welding failures, and manufacturing and design defects.
