We Offer Experienced and Skilled Legal Help

As skilled Austin oil field accident lawyers, we are aware of the conditions oil field workers are subjected to. We are also highly knowledgeable about the regulations set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OHSA regulations are in place to maintain the safety of the workplace environment and to keep oil field workers out of harm's way. When OSHA regulations are overlooked or ignored, catastrophic injury and death can occur.

Our law firm handles oil field accident claims arising from:

• Electrocutions
• Explosions
• Falling objects
• Fires
• High pressure lines
• Pop lines
• Valves

Line and valves hold a tremendous amount of pressure. When the lines are not handled in accordance with safe work practices, the lines can explode. While explosions can result in serious injuries, more often than not they result in fatalities.

If the fatality was caused by the unsafe work conditions and gross negligence of the person's employer, family members can sue the employer for gross negligence. In cases where a serious injury has occurred, the employer cannot be sued. However, the injured oil field worker may be able to pursue compensation in a third party workplace injury claim.
