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.
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States, and Texas leads the nation in construction fatalities. If you are injured on a construction site, your legal options depend on whether your employer carries workers' compensation insurance and whether a third party contributed to your injuries.
Insurance companies often pressure injured Texans to settle before their doctors have determined the full extent of their injuries. Understanding Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) is essential to making sure you receive fair compensation for all of your medical needs, both present and future.
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
