Oklahoma City Oil Field Accident Attorney

Working in an oil field is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Drilling for oil and natural gas involves heavy equipment, highly flammable gases, toxic chemicals, and an unpredictable environment. Even minor mistakes can result in deaths or oil field accidents.

Workers in the oil and gas extraction industry have an annual occupational fatality rate of 27.5 per 100,000 workers per year, which is more than 7.5 times higher than the risk of death for other workers.

If you’ve been injured in an oil field accident, call (405) 510-0077 or contact Fulmer Sill online for a free consultation. Our Oklahoma City oil field accident lawyers are here to help!

Common Oil Field Failures

Although some injury risks in the oil field industry may be considered “part of the job,” serious and unnecessary accidents may also be caused by substandard workplace safety measures on the part of oil companies, contractors, and equipment manufacturers. There are also third parties whose negligence may be responsible for oil field accidents, including independent contractors like rig movers, wireline operators, logging companies, and frac companies.

Some of the most common causes of drilling rig failures and collapses include:

  • Heavy equipment failures
  • Lack of adequate training
  • Errors in the drilling process
  • Worker fatigue
  • Rig blowouts
  • Failure to use proper safeguards

Common Oil Field Accidents

  • Falls from rigs
  • Equipment failures and malfunctions
  • Blowouts
  • Fires and explosions
  • Electrocution
  • Toxic chemical spills
  • Falling objects, tools, etc.
  • Crushed by machinery
  • Motor vehicle accidents

Every year, thousands of oil field workers are injured on the job, with many of the injuries proving to be life-altering and sometimes even fatal. Most workers who have been injured in an oil field accident are entitled to workers’ compensation for their injuries, medical bills, and lost wages. However, they may also have grounds to file a personal injury claim against the allegedly negligent third party in order to seek fair and timely reimbursement.
