Who This Page Is For
San Antonio-area residents injured while working at or traveling to an oilfield or energy-sector worksite.
Common Scenarios in San Antonio
Equipment failure, explosions, falls, and hazardous chemical exposure at Eagle Ford Shale-area sites accessed by many San Antonio-based workers.
Liability
Oilfield sites often involve the operator, a drilling contractor, and equipment suppliers, each of whom may bear some responsibility for a safe worksite.
Evidence That Matters
Incident reports, equipment maintenance records, and witness statements from coworkers on site.
Damages You May Be Able to Recover
Medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering; the severity of oilfield injuries often means significant future care needs.
Deadlines to Keep in Mind
Standard injury-claim deadlines apply; document the exact site operator and contractors involved as early as possible.
Insurance Issues
Multiple companies operating on the same site typically carry separate insurance policies, which can affect how a claim is structured.
Comparative Responsibility
The same comparative-fault rule applies to oilfield injury claims.
Commercial and Third-Party Defendants
Because multiple companies are often involved, injured oilfield workers may have claims against parties other than their direct employer.
