Full and Complete Compensation

Workers' compensation pays only the out-of-pocket costs of medical care, rehabilitation, disability, and lost wages. Even then, workers' compensation may not completely compensate the injured worker for these costs. When the injury occurs because of the negligence of another party however, the available compensation pool expands. You may obtain more complete compensation for your financial losses and costs, as well as compensation for your suffering and pain.

Oil field accidents can lead to serious injuries, including spinal cord injury, brain injury, broken bones, and burns. In situations like these, the effects of these injuries can last a lifetime. The victims deserve full and complete compensation for their losses and suffering.

Oil Field Accidents

Due to the fast pace of the oil and gas well drilling activity in the United States, and particularly in Texas, the numbers of oilfield accidents and oil field-related injuries and deaths happen at an alarming rate. Many of these oilfield injuries are catastrophic due to the nature of the dangerous work involved.

Oilfield workers are often forced to work long periods of time without adequate rest, forced to take chances in the spirit of being a team player, forced to work with some workers that are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, work beside oilfield workers that often take short cuts and ignore established safety standards in order to keep the drilling rig operating at a fast high profit rate.
