Oil and gas production in the United States has become increasingly competitive. The limited amount of resources has caused a surge in production costs. Many oil drilling companies have caught corners and pushed workers into overtime in an effort to produce more. Unfortunately, many people have suffered serious and life-threatening injuries at the expenses of profit margins.
If you or your loved one was injured or killed while working in an oil field, obtain experienced legal help. Any medical expenses will be covered by your employer's workers' compensation, even if your employer was not at fault. Often, the amount of workers' compensation is simply not enough.
At the Dean Law Firm, we are committed to helping clients secure compensation beyond a workers' compensation claim. We have more than 15 years of experience pursuing personal injury claims against negligent third parties, including contractors, subcontractors and manufacturers. Contact our law firm today to put our years of experience advocating for injured workers and their families to work for you.
Handling Third-Party Personal Injury Claims for Injured Oil Field Workers
Oil field production is inherently dangerous. However, the risk of oil field accidents increases when safety standards and industry regulations are ignored. Many crews often work simultaneously on oil fields, adding to the complexity of oil field accident litigation. The cause of an accident may initially be unclear.
If you or your loved one was in an oil field accident, we will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if a third party's negligent actions ultimately caused the accident. We are committed to helping you pursue a personal injury claim beyond the workers' compensation you are entitled to. We know how to prove fault against manufacturers, contractors or subcontractors for overlooking safety standards and causing:
- Rig collapses
- Falls from rigs and equipment
- Equipment failures and defective products
- Well blowouts
- Explosions and fires
Our top priority is to help you obtain maximum compensation for any current and long-term medical expenses associated with the oil rig injury you have endured. Houston personal injury lawyer Christopher Dean also has extensive experience seeking compensation for any lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages associated with the oil field accident.
