What You Must Do (and Not Do) Right Now to Win Oilfield Injury Compensation
Here is some free legal advice. The most important piece of advice for anyone who is thinking about seeking damages in a personal injury lawsuit against a drilling contractor or pipeline owner. Before you speak with an insurance company, or accept even a single dollar of payment or compensation from your employer, or sign anything, or attempt to file a lawsuit on your own, you must contact a competent lawyer.

Your employer or its insurance provider wants you to accept a “lowball” settlement and quietly disappear. Don’t let them take advantage of you. You should never discuss any details of your intentions, or anything else about your injury, with your employer, a third party, anyone with the insurance company, or even your co-workers without a lawyer protecting you.
Then, you must realize the critical importance of acting swiftly. In oilfield accident cases, the evidence begins to quickly fade. Witnesses change their stories, or forget what they saw, or have even been paid to forget. If you wait too long to hire an attorney and put him on the investigative trail, then you seriously endanger your ability to win the full and fair restitution you and your family deserve.
We’ve helped one drilling worker two different times, win two different lawsuits, against two different defendants when he was working in two different oilfields, but suffered falling pipe injuries both times. Another time, we were able to secure a very fair compensation package for an oilfield worker’s family when he suffered a fatal head injury while spinning drill pipe. There isn’t much in the oil patch that our knowledgeable petroleum accident investigators haven’t seen, or uncovered.
An experienced oil and gas rig injury attorney with our Law Firm will help injured oilfield employees seek, and win, fair damage awards anywhere in Texas, including the Barnett Shale. But bear in mind that you only get one chance to file (and win) your case. If you lose or settle for less than you are capable of winning, that’s your only shot. You don’t get another.
Put our years of experience to work for you. If you want to know what your rights are, how to proceed with your claim and the level of compensatory damages you can win from your oilfield injuries, we can answer your questions.
