Who Can Be Held Liable for Texas Oil Rig Explosions, Accidents, Injuries & Fatalities?
The Texas oil and natural gas industry, directly and indirectly, supports more than 2.5 million jobs, or 13.9% of Texas’ total employment.
For every direct job in the oil and natural gas industry, an additional 3.5 jobs were created.
This means different employers or contracting companies may be liable for the employee or third party’s accidents, injuries, or fatalities.
Since Texas employers are not required to carry workers’ compensation coverage, oilfield injury victims may be eligible to pursue their employers directly for workplace injuries or the loss of their loved ones through a personal injury lawsuit.
Our skilled personal injury lawyers in San Antonio will evaluate your case during a free consultation to determine if your employer, contractor, or another third party is liable for your financial recovery.
That may include:
- Oil and gas companies
- Oilfield equipment providers
- Oilfield machinery designers or manufacturers when a defect caused the explosion
- Property owners or operators
- Contractors or subcontractors
- Trucking companies
- Shipping companies
- Vehicle manufacturers
Since 2003, we have dedicated our practice to producing real results for real people whose lives have been impacted by negligence. Our expert legal team has proven over thousands of personal injury cases, through the millions of dollars recovered for our clients, that personal attention matters.

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.
