Oilfield workers have always been trained on the job, greenhorns becoming experienced workers over time. Before the dramatic increase in oil and gas plays, a full crew included only one or two inexperienced workers on the tower at a time. It’s different now — some crews are made up entirely of inexperienced workers, who do not fully understand the dangers of the oil patch. And oil company executives are demanding faster (sometimes fatal) turnaround times to get a rig up and running.
If you or a loved one has been involved in an oilfield accident, it is critical that your attorney understand the industry. Hilliard Law attorneys do — we’ve tried many onshore and offshore oilfield cases. In the past we have also been on the corporate side of numerous cases, gaining valuable insight that we’re now turning to the advantage of injured workers or the survivors of those who have been killed.
Because our oil field injury lawyers know the industry so well, we can quickly determine what failures caused an accident. We understand surface cement, why the Railroad Commission requires it, and how it differs from other cement jobs. We understand the parts that fracking, wireline, and snubbing play in drilling, completion, and workover operations. We know the difference between fishing with a wireline and fishing with a rod. We understand the dangers of coil tubing operations and well control. We know the oil and gas industry from both sides.
