Liability in a Texas Oil Field Injury Accident
An employer must abide by federal and state safety regulations, provide proper training, conduct regular inspections and maintenance, and provide secure equipment. If they fail to do this, they may be held liable for your oil field injuries.
In an oil field injury claim, there may be multiple parties liable for accident injuries, including the following:
- Oil company or oil company owner
- Equipment manufacturer
- Safety inspectors or mechanics
- Supply companies
- Oil field truck driver
- Oil field workers
- Machine or drilling operators
- Well exploration companies
- Contractors
- Regulatory agencies
You may believe that an oil field company can be trusted to produce accurate investigation results. However, the company’s main objective is to protect its profits first and foremost, which may mean avoiding liability for the injuries you have suffered.

We are not afraid to stand up to large entities, such as oil companies, meaning we will be with you every step of the way to get you the compensation you deserve.
