Why Do You Need a Lawyer After a Fire?

Recovering from a fire is about reclaiming your life, health, and sense of safety. A skilled fire injury lawyer will help steady the ground beneath you, guiding you through recovery.

Investigate the Cause

Oil rig fires usually have a clear source: unsafe drilling, equipment failures, electrical issues, or leaking pipelines or fuel lines. We work with investigators and industry experts to determine what went wrong and who should be held responsible.

Deal With Oil & Gas Employers and Insurance

Oil companies, contractors, and insurers often move quickly to limit their own exposure. We deal with every request, adjuster, and corporate representative on your behalf.

Secure Medical and Financial Support

Severe burns, blast trauma, and lung injuries require specialized medical teams. We help clients find the right experts while pursuing compensation for care, lost wages, and long-term needs.

Hold Negligent Parties Accountable

Oil and gas sites can involve several contractors, subcontractors, and equipment manufacturers. We evaluate every angle, from rig operators to drilling companies to equipment makers.

    FAQs About OSHA Violation Cases

    What makes oil field fires different from other workplace fires?

    Oil and gas sites contain flammable gases, pressurized systems, and heavy equipment. When something fails, fires spread faster and cause more severe injuries than typical workplace fires.

    Who can be held responsible after an oil field or offshore fire?

    In personal injury lawsuits, liability may fall on rig operators, drilling companies, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, maintenance crews, or pipeline companies. It depends on what caused the fire and who failed to follow safety regulations.

    What compensation can injured oil field or offshore workers recover?

    Injured workers may recover medical costs, lost wages, reduced earning ability, long-term care, and compensation for pain and suffering, scarring, or disability. Families may also have chemical exposure claims or wrongful death claims after fatal fires.

    What if my employer says the incident is covered by workers’ compensation?

    Workers’ comp does not block claims against other negligent companies, such as contractors or equipment manufacturers. Many oil field fire cases involve multiple parties outside of the workers’ compensation claim.
