Oil and Gas Site Accident Injury Lawyers in Texas
Failure to Maintain Pipelines | Leaking Meters or Mains | Corrosion or Metal Fatigue | Defective Valves or Connectors
Though oil and gas drilling and exploration sites have a reputation for being extremely dangerous workplaces, the reality is that many of the injuries suffered there can be avoided, especially accidents caused by negligent maintenance of tools, machinery or equipment. In an effort to minimize costs, as well as time, rig owners and operators often cut corners, either performing substandard maintenance or neglecting maintenance altogether. The results have been and will continue to be disastrous. If you or a family member has been hurt in an accident at an oil and gas operation because of improper maintenance of equipment, we can help.

We provide full-service legal counsel, taking the time to carefully investigate the facts and circumstances of your accident.
