Common Causes

  • Well blowouts and uncontrolled pressure releases
  • Explosions from methane and other flammable gas accumulation
  • Heavy equipment failures on drilling rigs
  • Falls from derricks, platforms, and elevated rig components
  • Caught between injuries from pipe handling equipment
  • Transportation accidents on remote oilfield roads

Typical Injuries

  • Severe burns from well fires and explosions
  • Crush injuries from pipe and casing operations
  • Traumatic brain injuries from struck by incidents
  • Amputations caused by drilling and well servicing equipment
  • Hydrogen sulfide poisoning and respiratory damage
  • Wrongful death from catastrophic rig incidents

How We Prove Liability

Oil field injury claims frequently involve multiple companies operating at the well site, including the operator, the drilling contractor, service companies, and equipment suppliers. Many oil field workers are classified as independent contractors but may have legal claims against site operators and other companies whose negligence caused the injury. Evidence of OSHA violations, inadequate safety meetings, missing well control procedures, and defective equipment establishes the liability of each responsible party.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas is one of the largest oil producing states, and the Texas Railroad Commission regulates drilling operations under Texas Natural Resources Code. Many oil field employers in Texas are nonsubscribers to workers compensation, exposing them to direct negligence suits under Texas Labor Code Section 406.033 without traditional employer defenses. OSHA general industry and construction standards apply to oilfield operations, and the Texas Workforce Commission enforces state specific workplace safety requirements.
