Oilfield InjuriesOil field workers know that they work in a dangerous environment. But despite the care they take, they can still suffer serious and sometimes fatal injuries on the work site. Although oilfield technology has improved over the years, safety considerations have often lagged behind technology. Most oilfield injuries are the result of either equipment failure or a lack of communication between rig operators, employees and heavy equipment operators.
If you or a loved one has been injured or if a family member has been killed as a result of an oilfield accident, the only way to determine if you have a viable claim is through consultation with a legal professional. The Law Offices of Michael Handy is proud to represent working people; we have represented workers injured during onshore and offshore drilling operations and have a working knowledge of the work practices and the hazards associated with the oil industry.
Drilling companies may inform injured oil field workers that the only option for compensation is workers' compensation. However, even if an employer carries workers' compensation insurance, many times third parties bear responsibility for oilfield injuries. While this may provide some compensation, oil field workers may have additional sources of compensation when their injuries occurred as a result of the negligence of other parties.
The Law Offices of Michael Handy offers a no-obligation review of your claim to determine if a case may exist. If we believe a case may exist, we can help you understand the value of your case and how best to proceed. Call us at 1-817-336-4700 or submit your case to us online.
