Oil industry workers face extremely hazardous working conditions. Roughnecks work long hours—often 72 hours at a stretch—to get the oil out or the gas in. Drug testing isn't common, but drug use is as workers struggle to stay awake. Basic safety precautions are often overlooked by employers, contractors, and subcontractors.

  • If you or a family member has been injured because of unsafe or preventable conditions, poor equipment, or other hazardous conditions, the injured person may be entitled to compensation for injuries.
  • An oilfield accident injury claim may involve a subcontractor, a government entity, an equipment manufacturer, or another third party. Our personal injury lawyers know how to investigate the case and determine the liable parties in order to obtain the compensation you need.
  • In you have been injured in a natural gas or oilfield accident, our law firm has the experience it takes to help you make a claim for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • If a loved one has suffered a fatal accident in an oilfield accident, ask our personal injury lawyers about filing a wrongful death claim against those responsible for the conditions that caused the accident.

If you have a legal problem, you deserve to have a lawyer who will listen to your situation, stand up for your rights, and work closely with you to find an appropriate solution. Contact the Van Wey & Johnson law firm for a free consultation.
