Compensation for Oil Field Burn Injuries
Let Our San Antonio Oil Field Accidents Attorney Protect Your Rights
Severe burn injuries commonly occur in oil field accidents in Texas, resulting in long-term hospital and therapeutic care, as well as permanent disfigurement in some occasions. These workers are constantly exposed to flammable gas and chemicals, making company safety procedures and proper equipment testing highly important. Unfortunately, companies and employers tend to cut corners and avoid conducting machinery repairs to save money, leading to frequent injuries. If you have suffered burn injuries from an oil field accident due to negligence, our firm is capable of aggressively handling your case. We are dedicated to recovering the compensation you deserve.
Identifying the Cause of Oil Field Workplace Burns
In order to determine the cause of burn injuries, our San Antonio oil field accidents lawyers must identify what caused the accident which left you injured. Oil well fires can occur from natural gas leaks, pressure build-up or a spark from equipment.
Avoidable conditions which led to an accident include:
- Negligence
- Equipment failure
- Defects in equipment and machinery
- Unsafe drilling procedures
- Non-standardized industry practices
Many oil well fires are preventable events. If proper maintenance and drilling procedures are continuously implemented, accidents would be down to a minimum.
How Much Is My Burn Claim Worth?
While each burn injury lawsuit is different, there are a few factors that should be taken into account when determining what a fair settlement would be for your injuries:
- How severe your burns are
- How much permanent damage has been done (whether through permanent disability or scarring)
- How much medical treatment and therapy your injuries require
- Where your burns are located
- How your burns have affected you emotionally and psychologically
It's important to have a professional burn injury lawyer on your side to ensure that you get properly compensated for your injuries.
