The oil and gas industry is one of the most hazardous fields of work, with workers often exposed to significant risks on the job. When oilfield injuries occur, they can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences for workers and their families. At Daws & Associates, PLLC, we are committed to advocating for injured oilfield workers in Houston and ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.

Common Causes of Oilfield Injuries

Oilfield injuries often result from dangerous working conditions and negligence. Common causes include:

• Equipment failures or malfunctions
• Explosions and fires
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Falling objects or debris
• Exposure to toxic chemicals
• Transportation accidents (on-site or while transporting materials)
• Lack of proper training or safety measures

These incidents can lead to severe injuries, including burns, fractures, amputations, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.

Liability in Oilfield Injury Cases

Determining liability in oilfield injury cases can be complex, as multiple parties may be involved. Potentially liable parties include:

• Employers who fail to provide a safe working environment
• Equipment manufacturers if faulty machinery contributed to the injury
• Contractors or subcontractors who violated safety protocols
• Third-party transportation companies

Our attorneys thoroughly investigate each case to identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable.

Victims of oilfield injuries may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Wrongful death (for families who have lost a loved one)

Our legal team works diligently to calculate the full extent of your damages and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
