Texas Well Drilling Accident Lawyers
Texas oil and gas companies are enjoying a boom in oil and gas exploration — both onshore and offshore. New wells are being drilled every day, which is good news for Texas oil and gas well workers. At the same time, maintenance work continues on existing wells in Texas.
Well maintenance work can be dangerous. Workers who service the wells after drilling is finished are exposed to hazardous conditions that can result in injuries.
Every day, well drilling and well maintenance workers face the potential danger of events like blowouts, gushers, gas leaks and explosions. Such accidents can cause serious or fatal injuries including:
- Exposure to dangerous chemicals like sour gas and H2S
- Head injuries
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Loss of limb
- Disfigurement
- Paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia
- Loss of sight or hearing
Many onshore and offshore well drilling accidents and injuries could have been prevented if not for the carelessness or recklessness of one or more companies or employees. When a company disregards OSHA safety standards or fails to properly maintain equipment, serious accidents happen and workers can be injured or killed.
If you have been injured in a well drilling accident, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries from every company that was responsible for your safety on the job. We can help — contact The Callahan Law Firm today for a free case evaluation.
