Doing a job safely typically means taking your time—rushing takes a job that is already dangerous can increase that danger substantially. Unfortunately, this and other factors can lead to oilfield explosions and other dampers accidents.

Protecting Injured Workers

Oilfield employees face many dangers every day. Your employer has a responsibility to adhere to certain safety standards, though accidents still happen. Workers are often injured by cylinders that fail, fires or explosions, gas or chemical leaks, falls from heights because they had no tie-off points or harnesses, or improperly constructed scaffolding.

At Elliott & Ritch, we protect those injured in Corpus Christi oil field explosions and other accidents, helping you get the financial assistance you need to cover your medical bills and out of pocket expenses.

Comprehensive Legal Support for Various Oilfield Injuries:

  • Amputation/loss of limb
  • Broken bones
  • Burn injuries
  • Equipment failures
  • Explosions and fires
  • Head, neck, and spinal cord injuries
  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Toxic exposure to hazardous chemicals
  • Trucking accidents
  • Well blowouts
  • Wrongful death

Many of these accidents and injuries may lead to long-term consequences. You may be required to take a temporary or permanent leave from work, for instance. We can help you not only process your workers' compensation claim for the injury itself but also guide you through the next steps when facing a longer-term disability.

In certain cases, there are third parties who are responsible for the incident and therefore workers’ compensation is not your only form of protection. Our attorney can help you determine which parties are at fault so you can receive just compensation from all liable entities for your injuries.

All workers' compensation claims, especially those relating to oilfield injuries, are subject to specific time constraints. Make sure you file your claim within the allotted amount of time to avoid rejection. If your claim is rejected, you might have to cover your own medical expenses.
