Oilfields are dangerous workplaces, and people who work in them should be aware of the numerous hazards they face every day. Employers are legally bound to protect their employees by implementing appropriate safety measures, including proper training for workers, usage of adequate safety equipment, and regular site inspections and maintenance.
When employers fail to adhere to workplace safety standards, it can cause workers to suffer serious injuries or even wrongful death. The consequences of oilfield injuries can be catastrophic, potentially leaving workers unable to work and cover costly medical bills. Fortunately, though, workers harmed in oilfield accidents caused by the reckless choices of their employers may be eligible to pursue compensation for their damages.
Our oilfield injury attorneys and specialist drilling rig accident lawyers are here to help you if you’ve been involved in an oilfield accident that was not your fault.
