Injuries that occur in oil fields can be unusually severe and result in serious long-term disability that prevents the injured person from returning to work and earning a livelihood. Despite the strict safety standards that are in place to prevent oil field accidents, oil field workers suffer on-the-job injuries at an alarming frequency. The most common accidents occur as a result of:
- Falls
- Defective machinery
- Pipeline and roughneck work
- Sulfur hydroxide fumes
- Tank explosion
- Inadequate safeguards
- Fire or pipeline explosion
Our detailed investigations of these events focus on determining who is primarily responsible for the safety and maintenance of equipment. In many cases, there are multiple contractors and subcontractors at the rig site who have varying degrees of responsibility. Oil derricks are taken down and moved to new locations by the very nature of their business. An immediate investigation can help overcome some of the obstacles in proving liability.
