Were You Injured In An Oilfield Accident?

Content Goes Here…

At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Houston oil rig explosion attorneys know that thousands of our Texas residents rely on their jobs in the petroleum and gas industry to support their livelihoods.

Our Harris County oilfield accident attorneys also know that extraction is dangerous work that puts rig workers at risk of suffering catastrophic and even fatal injuries.

Unfortunately, in this business, oil rig fires and explosions are an ever-present danger for employees who are locating energy sources, evaluating drilling and formation opportunities, managing energy data, advising in engineering, production, or other completion services, or are participating in well construction.

When a coworker or employer is negligent in their duties, or when the corporation places profits over safety, people are going to get hurt.

If you have been injured in an oil rig explosion or have lost a loved one who was working in an oilfield in Texas, our personal injury lawyers and support staff will provide the critical legal resources you need to pursue results inside and outside the courtroom.

Our skilled Houston personal injury attorneys have spent more than three decades working on both sides of the courtroom, gaining unparalleled experience of the inner workings of some of the world’s largest insurance companies, and transforming that knowledge into wins for our clients.

We can pursue the same results for you and your family.

Our skilled legal staff offers services in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin because we believe in inclusion, fairness, and justice. It is only possible to successfully represent the people in our communities when we can successfully represent all people.

What Are The Most Common Causes of Oil Rig Explosions in Houston, Texas?

When negligence is a factor in the workplace, there is no limit to the types of injuries that can occur. When negligence is a factor on a Texas oil rig, the results can be devastating.

The sizeable, heavy, and complex oil rig equipment and machinery required for drilling can cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities if it is not maintained or operated properly.

The most common causes of Houston oilfield accidents may include, but are not limited to:

  • Defective or failed equipment and machinery
  • Dropped objects including piping, lights, tools, and rigging
  • Failure to evacuate during inclement weather
  • Failure to follow industry regulations
  • Falls from heights
  • Fracking accidents
  • Heavy equipment collapses including rigs and cranes
  • Insufficient maintenance
  • Lack of information given to employees
  • Lack of proper training and supervision
  • Lack of safety equipment
  • Lifting equipment, forklift accidents, and crane incidents
  • Outdated industrial equipment
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Truck and 18-wheeler fueling accidents
  • Unsafe welding or drilling procedures causing dangerous sparks, exposed electrical currents, and fires
  • Vehicle accidents and collisions

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Texas Oil Rig Explosion?

Employers in Texas are not required to provide workers’ compensation coverage.

If your Texas oil and gas employer does not offer workers’ compensation insurance, then you may be eligible to pursue your employer directly for your workplace injuries or the loss of your loved one.

Our skilled personal injury lawyers in Houston will evaluate your case during a free consultation to determine if your employer, another individual’s negligence was the cause of your injuries, or if another third party, including a design or manufacturing defect caused the explosion, or if the property owner, contractors, subcontractors, trucking companies, shipping companies, and/or vehicle manufacturers were liable for the explosion.

Our bilingual staff is here to listen to your story and learn all the ways negligence and your injuries have impacted your day-to-day activities and overall quality of life, so we can build a case that successfully represents your complete recovery needs.
