HOUSTON OILFIELD ACCIDENT ATTORNEY AT THE REYNA LAW FIRM 

 

Houston is the global headquarters for the Energy Market and is home to many oil and gas workers. Whether it’s working the fields in South East Texas, the Eagle Ford Shale, or traveling to work in the West Texas of Louisiana oil patch, Houston oil workers help provide the essential workforce for the oil and gas industry!  

Houston oil and gas companies are responsible for ensuring the health and safety of their employees. They are charged with maintaining a safe work environment for their oil workers! Unfortunately, some of these companies cut corners, do not adhere to strict safety standards, and expose their oil and gas workers to hazardous and dangerous work conditions. Oilfield accidents are rampant, and many Houston oil workers face injuries and life-threatening injuries on the job.  

If you live in the greater Houston area and experience an injury in an oilfield accident, it is crucial to take steps to protect your rights and seek compensation for your injuries. First, remember, insurance companies and responsible oilfield companies are not on your side. It is well known in the oilfield industry that accidents and injuries are under-reported. Injured Houston oil workers are often laid off and told that workers’ compensation is their only remedy.

We are committed to making sure you receive access to the best medical providers in Houston so that you can recover from your oilfield injuries. Also, we retain the best liability, medical, and economic experts to help us explain to a court and a jury the enormous detrimental impact an oilfield injury has on our client’s life! Our main objective is to get injured Houston oil workers the maximum compensation for their injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical bills! 

HOUSTON OILFIELD ACCIDENT STATISTICS 

Statistics about oilfield accidents in the greater Houston area are not available. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has statistics about countrywide oilfield accidents. According to the latest data from the BLS, in 2019 alone, 166 people were killed in oil and gas industry accidents. Altogether, 29 percent of those fatalities occurred in Texas. In a single year, across the country, 108 people lost limbs, 102 people were crushed, 112 people were burned, and there were 9,155 broken bones due to such accidents. Also, there were countless spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. 

 

WHAT TO DO AFTER BEING INJURED IN AN OILFIELD ACCIDENT 

Since the fracking boom of the 2000s, the federal government has not taken care to ensure that adequate safety standards and procedures are put into place. Throughout Houston’s oil and gas industry, the lack of government inspections and questionable safety practices by oil and gas companies create an environment where oilfield accidents regularly occur.  

If you injure yourself working in an oilfield, seek medical care immediately. Do not speak to the insurance adjusters or any of your company’s representatives before calling the Houston Oilfield Injury Lawyer at the Reyna Law Firm. Things to remember:

1. Name of Well Operator;
