Negligence Lawsuits in Oilfield Accidents

Oklahoma City Personal Injury Attorneys

We know oil drilling is hard and hazardous work even in the best of conditions. With long hours working around dangerous equipment, a lot can go wrong in the blink of an eye.

One roughneck’s mistake. A machine’s malfunction. One foreman’s decision to override safety measures.

If you were seriously injured let the law firm of Foshee & Yaffe take a look at your case. If the negligence of another crew or third party caused your job site accident, you may have a lawsuit beyond workers’ compensation.

Our Oklahoma City trial lawyers have helped oil industry workers across Oklahoma recover full compensation for oilfield injuries. Call us at 405-264-5777 for a free initial consultation.

We Know Oilfield Injuries

When oil workers are hurt, they are usually hurt badly. Not cuts and bruises, but lasting or catastrophic injuries that knock them out of the work force: lost limbs and broken bones, back and neck injuries, head trauma and severe burns. We have handled all types of oilfield injuries:

Falls from oil derricks
Slip-and-falls on slick work decks
Explosions and fires
Pipeline blowouts
Falling tools or pipe
Men caught in machinery or hit by moving parts
Toppling freight from delivery vehicles
Fatal injuries

Foshee & Yaffe works quickly to identify the negligence and prove it. We have sued oil and gas companies, equipment manufacturers, trucking companies and independent drilling crews, clean-up crews or saltwater disposal contractors. We bring in oil drilling engineers, former toolpushers, OSHA and state labor officials and other experts who can reconstruct what happened and show how safety was ignored in pursuit of profit.

If you don’t have grounds for a third-party lawsuit, we can still handle your workers’ comp claim to ensure that you receive all benefits for permanent/partial disability or disfigurement.
