Oilfield Accident Attorneys

Helping Injured Oilfield Workers and Their Families for Fifty Years

Whether working at sea or on land, few jobs are as dangerous as drilling for oil. Unfortunately, oilfield drilling rig accidents have increased dramatically in the past several years. As oil and gas become increasingly scarce, and prices skyrocket, oil companies have cut corners and pushed workers beyond their limits with overtime and double shifts. In an environment characterized by speed, greed and bad judgment, tragic injuries often result.

If you have suffered serious injuries or a loved one has died, make sure your interests and the security of your loved ones is protected. Contact the central Texas personal injury law firm of Webb, Stokes & Sparks.

Oilfield Accident Injury Claims

Our injury lawyers have been fighting for fair compensation for oilfield workers and their families for more than 50 years. We represent injured workers in Abilene, Brownwood, Colorado City, Sweetwater, Snyder, Ballinger, Comanche, Eastland, Brady, and Junction.

We handle injury and wrongful death claims from oilfield accidents caused by third-party contractor (mud loggers, wireline operators, frac companies, or rig movers), or occurring during testing, frac jobs, wireline operations, oil well drilling, well restoration, and workover activities, such as:

  • Well drilling or servicing
  • Compressor stations 
  • Pump jacks and pumping operations
  • Work rig collapses
  • Falls from rigs and equipment
  • Equipment failures and defective products
  • Frac tank mishaps
  • Well blowouts 
  • Explosions and fires

Oilfield accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, such as severe burns and electrocution, broken backs and necks from falls, head injuries from falling equipment, loss of limbs from explosions or defective equipment, and exposure to toxic chemicals and gases.

Workers' Comp is Often Not Enough
