How Can an Attorney Help You?

After an injury or workplace death, you and your family will have many questions. We can help you answer those questions and assist you in moving through the complex world of worker’s compensation and personal injury law.

Our experienced and skilled staff will:

  • Help you understand Texas law and regulations on workman’s compensation
  • Make sure you are taken care of even if your workplace is not covered by workman’s compensation
  • Help you find other sources of compensation from insurance or third parties
  • Help you collect lost wages and medical expenses
  • Protect you from being fired, or make sure you are taken care of if the company fires you after an injury
  • Represent your interests in the same way that the company’s attorneys will represent theirs.

If your workplace carries worker’s compensation insurance, that system will help you with the costs of rehabilitation, care, disability, and lost wages. However, you will need help in understanding your rights, as the system may not give you enough support.

An attorney can help you navigate the different kinds of compensation, such as when the injury results from the negligence of another party. If your injury was caused by a negligent third party, you may obtain additional funds to cover your financial losses, as well as for pain and suffering.

We are the firm that can help you navigate all these complications. We have the technology and resources to match the big companies and will fight for the results you need and deserve.

What Should I Do After an Oil Rig or Oil Field Accident?

The first thing to remember is that it’s important to report the accident and seek an attorney as soon as possible. Texas law limits the amount of time you have to report and file a workman’s compensation or personal injury claim, so don’t wait! Follow these key steps after an accident:

  • Notify a supervisor of what has happened and the details of the injury.
  • Seek medical assistance immediately.
  • Document everything. Take photographs of the incident location from varying angles, and photograph injuries.
  • Contact any witnesses who saw the accident and ask them to document what they saw- in writing or in a voice recording.
  • Gather names, as well as all contact information from any witnesses.
  • Contact an experienced attorney who specializes in oil rig and oil field injuries to get help.
