Oilfield Accidents

Oklahoma City Lawyers Handling Oilfield Accident Injuries

Oilfields are inherently dangerous places. Workers must be constantly aware of their personal safety, relying on their extensive training and well-maintained equipment. Yet, no matter how vigilant a worker may be, serious oilfield accidents can still occur, leaving devastation in their path.

If a loved one was injured or died in an Oklahoma oilfield accident, options for financial recovery may exist beyond just workers' compensation or Social Security. If negligence on the part of another party can be established, you may be able to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit.

Holding Negligent Parties Accountable

Oilfield accidents can happen when companies put earning potential ahead of employee safety. They are often preventable, occurring solely because of improper maintenance of equipment. Other times, accidents take place when another worker has not had proper training and fails to follow safety procedures. No matter the cause, this negligence is unacceptable.

At the Office of Joseph J. Reinke, we will hold the responsible parties accountable for the injuries they have caused. We will help you pursue a claim against companies, contractors, subcontractors and other third-parties who are at-fault for oilfield accident injuries resulting from:

• Falls from rigs or equipment
• Defective machinery, equipment failure or work rig collapse
• Pipeline and roughneck work
• Exposure to sulfur hydroxide fumes
• Tank explosions or well blowouts
• Inadequate safeguards

Do You Have a Case?

Financial compensation from a personal injury case is often far greater than a workers' compensation claim. If you have been seriously injured and believe that you may have a case, contact our office. Initial consultations are free. If we take your case, you will not be charged attorney's fees unless we are successful in recovering compensation.
