Oil Rig Accident Attorneys

Oil Rig Accidents

Oil rig accidents are becoming more common in Oklahoma as the oil industry expands throughout the state. Oil field workers are exposed to various hazards that many workers in other industries do not need to worry about. Many times, insurance companies will attempt to get an injured worker to accept minimal compensation, but we at Stephens, Anderson & Cummings, LLP know better.

Grounds for Pursuing an Oil Rig Accident Injury Claim

Those injured in an oil rig accident may receive compensation on the grounds:

• Employer/Co-Worker Negligence: The oil industry mandates high safety standards, but when employers and co-workers decide to overlook potentially hazardous details in the workplace, they may be held responsible for the injuries caused in an accident.
• Defective Products/Machines: Sometimes an oil rig’s machinery malfunctions due to a defect in its design, manufacturing or marketing. When this happens, a product liability claim may be pursued.

The Complexities of an Oil Well Injury Case

First of all, oil industry injury cases are complicated because serious investigatory work needs to be done in order to establish that another party other than the victim is responsible for the damages that occurred. Oil rig accident cases are also complicated because the oil industry is a multi-billion dollar industry involving multi-million dollar corporations. To obtain the compensation you deserve, you need experienced and skilled attorneys with knowledge regarding the standards that are to be followed within the oil industry.
