Experienced Oil Rig Explosion Attorneys in Beaumont, Texas
Were You Injured In An Oilfield Accident in Beaumont?
At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Beaumont oil rig explosion lawyers know how important the industry is to the entire state of Texas, and the rest of the country. Here, however, is where its journey began. On January 10, 1901, a well at Spindletop — an oil field located in the southern portion of Beaumont, Texas — struck oil, and its discovery led the United States into the oil age.
Over 120 years later, Texas is, by far, the leading oil and gas-producing state in the country, netting a total of 1.7 billion barrels last year alone. Like most industries where a significant volume of a good is produced in one state, the accidents, injuries, and fatalities that occur in these professions also lead the nation.
Our Jefferson County oil rig accident and injury attorneys know this is an inherently dangerous industry for more than just well workers, but engineers, plant operators, and support staff. This is why significant safety regulations and guidelines are in place. Unfortunately, when just one person overlooks these protocols, people are going to get hurt or killed as a result.
At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our 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.

What Causes Oil Rig Explosions in Beaumont, Texas?
Because of the dangerous nature of oil and gas that are being extracted from Texas oil rigs — including the 688 drilled wells in Beaumont — accidents, fires, and explosions are not uncommon.

Some of the most common causes of Beaumont oilfield accidents may include, but are not limited to:
- Defective or failed equipment and machinery.
- Failure to evacuate during inclement weather.
- Dropped objects including piping, lights, tools, and rigging.
- Failure to follow industry regulations.
- Fracking accidents.
- Falls from heights.
- Heavy equipment collapses including rigs and cranes.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
