Laredo, Texas attorney helping oil field injury victims

Oil fields are highly regulated but accidents do happen. Such accidents can be the result of faulty equipment, poor maintenance, fires, and more. These accidents can result in serious injuries or even the wrongful death of a worker. The victim of such an accident may be able to file a non-subscriber claim against his or her employer and they may also have claims against third-parties. These third-parties may include equipment manufacturers, maintenance companies, and others. The extent to which parties are potential defendants will always depend on the specific facts of a case.

The first step in a oil field injury case is to identify all possible defendants and for your lawyer to contact them. They will refer the matter to their insurance carriers. This will allow counsel to deal with the carriers directly so that you may focus on your medical treatment. Counsel will need to take steps to ensure that all relevant evidence is preserved and to fully investigate the matter. Your representative will likely need to retain industry experts who can testify as to how the accident happened and who was at fault. Once the investigation is complete, and your injuries can be reasonably ascertained, your representative will send a demand for payment to the insurance carriers. If a settlement cannot be reached then the matter will proceed to litigation. These types of cases can be highly complicated and it is important that you retain a firm with experience in such matters.
