Oil field Injuries

Are you an oil field or rig worker who has been injured on the job?

Oil field workers are exposed to a range of hazards on the job, including heavy equipment, dangerous chemicals, and extreme weather conditions. Unfortunately, accidents and injuries can still occur despite strict safety regulations and protocols.

The Gulf South region serves as the petroleum refining capital of the country and boasts a significant concentration of chemical and petroleum production refining operators, surpassing the average presence found elsewhere. Unfortunately, according to a recent report by OSHA, “Since the process Safety Management standard was promulgated by OSHA in 1992, no other industry sector has had as many fatal or catastrophic incidents related to the release of highly hazardous chemicals (HHC) as the petroleum refining industry”.

If you or a loved one has been injured while working in the oil fields or on an oil rig, it is important to seek medical attention immediately and contact an experienced U&C attorney.

U&C can help you navigate the legal process and pursue compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
