Oil and Gas Field Accident Lawyer in Fort Worth
Do you have a claim for compensation?
Oil and gas drilling is big in Texas. Thanks to the Barnett Shale surrounding Fort Worth and countless active oil and gas wells across East Texas, the Gulf Coast, South Texas, Panhandle and Permian Basin, the growth of the oil and gas industry is on the rise across the Lone Star State. But this increased oil and gas work has also led to an increased risk of on-the-job accidents in Texas. When big gas and oil companies put profits ahead of people, oil and gas field workers are often exposed to harsh working conditions, long hours and dangerous machinery, resulting in serious oil and gas field accidents.
If you were injured or a loved one was killed in an oil or gas field accident caused by somebody else's negligent behavior, you could be entitled to compensation. Oil and gas field accidents can happen for a variety of different reasons and involve a number of different parties. Cases involving negligence on the part of a subcontractor or a party other than your employer may qualify for a third-party claim.

How do oil and gas field accidents happen?
Oil and gas field workers are often exposed to harsh working conditions, long periods of strenuous labor, and work with multiple independent parties at any given worksite. Workers are often required to operate heavy machinery and deal with flammable material on a daily basis, increasing the risk of a catastrophic explosion accident. Our firm represents oil and gas field accident victims from all areas of the industry, including:
- Roustabouts
- Roughnecks
- Tool pushers
- Drillers
- Oil field truck drivers
Accidents at oil and gas fields happen for a variety of different reasons. When oil companies put production and profits ahead of safety, or when a poorly trained contractor or subcontractor cuts corners and causes an accident, injured gas and oil field workers should be entitled to compensation for their injuries.
