Oil Field Injury Help in Laredo and South Texas
Hurt Working in the Oil Field? Call Joey First.
A serious oil field injury can leave you dealing with medical care, lost income, uncertainty about your job, and pressure from employers or insurance companies. Joey Tellez helps injured workers and families understand who may be responsible and what claims may be available.
More Than One Possible Claim
An Oil Field Injury May Involve Several Companies and Different Legal Options.
Texas workplace injury cases can depend on whether the employer carries workers' compensation coverage, whether the employer is a nonsubscriber, and whether another company, contractor, equipment manufacturer, or driver contributed to the incident.
Our office reviews the worksite relationships, available coverage, safety records, equipment, vehicles, and contracts before advising the client about the next step.

Possible Claims After an Oil Field Injury
Workers' Compensation
When coverage applies, the claim may involve medical benefits, income benefits, and disputes handled through the Texas workers' compensation system.
Nonsubscriber Claims
If the employer does not carry Texas workers' compensation insurance, a different legal analysis may apply to the employer's responsibility.
Third-Party Claims
A separate claim may exist against a contractor, driver, site operator, maintenance company, equipment company, or another business involved in the incident.
Defective Equipment Claims
Machinery, tools, vehicles, safety systems, or components may need to be inspected when a defect or maintenance failure contributed to the injury.

Answers to Common Questions
Laredo Oil Field Injury FAQs
Does every Texas employer carry workers' compensation insurance?
No. Most private Texas employers may choose whether to carry workers' compensation insurance. The coverage status can affect which process and legal options apply.
Can I have a claim against a company other than my employer?
Possibly. Contractors, site operators, trucking companies, equipment companies, maintenance providers, and other businesses may need to be evaluated depending on how the incident happened.
What evidence should be preserved after an oil field accident?
Potential evidence may include incident reports, safety records, training materials, maintenance files, equipment, vehicle data, photographs, video, contracts, and witness information.
What if I was injured while riding in or driving a work truck?
The case may involve workplace coverage, commercial auto insurance, another driver, the employer, or additional companies. The vehicle, policy, and work relationship should be reviewed carefully.
How much does it cost to hire Tellez Law for an oil field injury case?
Personal injury matters are generally handled on a contingency fee, which means attorney fees are collected only if compensation is recovered. The written agreement explains the fee and any responsibility for case expenses.
