Oilfield Accident Attorneys
Oilfield Accidents
One of the most hazardous occupations is drilling for oil, whether at a land based facility or an off-shore oil rig. Oilfield accidents have been on the rise, with workers putting in longer hours to meet the increasing demands for oil and gas. Companies stretch workers too thin with overtime and double shifts. Under such stressful conditions, accidents and injuries are much more commonplace.
If you have been the victim of an oilfield accident or if you or a loved one has suffered from an oilfield related injury, contact the oilfield accident attorneys at Fineberg Gresham.
Experience with Oilfield Accident Injury Claims
Our experienced lawyers work with you throughout the claims process and take every measure to ensure you receive the compensation you are due. With our main office in Dallas, TX, we handle cases from all across the United States.
We handle injury and wrongful death claims from oilfield accidents caused by third-parties or that happen during testing, frac jobs, wireline operations, oil well drilling, or well restoration.
For example, in one of our cases, we secured substantial compensation for a gas well worker who suffered severe burns to 85% of her body. The gas well maintenance company and the well owner were both found negligent in the case and Fineberg Gresham was able to fundamentally change the way these companies conducted business so that an accident like this would never happen again.
