How a Lawyer Protects Your Claim After a Blowout

Oil rig and field blowout cases involve multiple companies, complex equipment, and layers of responsibility. A lawyer helps cut through the confusion and focus on your recovery.

Determine What Caused the Accident

A blowout can stem from pressure control failures, equipment defects, or blowout preventer (BOP) malfunctions. Your attorney investigates each contributing factor to identify all responsible parties.

Handle Big Oil Companies and Their Insurers

Oil companies often respond with aggressive legal teams after a blowout. Your lawyer protects your claim and prevents insurers from minimizing your injuries.

Preserve Critical Evidence Quickly

Records, equipment, and digital data disappear fast after a major incident. An attorney steps in early to secure the documents and witness statements needed to build your case.

Pursue Adequate Compensation

Oil rig blowouts can lead to burns, orthopedic injuries, toxic exposure, and long-term disability. Your lawyer helps calculate medical needs, lost income, and future care requirements.

    FAQs About Oil Rig Blowout Claims

    Who can be held responsible for an oil field blowout?

    Depending on the circumstances, responsibility may fall on drilling contractors, equipment manufacturers, supervisors, or multiple companies working on the site. An attorney will help identify all accountable parties, whether it was a subsea blowout or surface.

    What compensation can I pursue after a blowout in the oil field?

    You may seek compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, long-term care needs, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on the severity of your injuries and the evidence available.

    How long do I have to file an oil rig blowout claim?

    Deadlines vary by state, the circumstances of the injury, and when the blowout occurs. A lawyer will review your case quickly and help determine your filing window.

    Can I still file a claim if I’m a contractor, not an employee?

    Yes. Contractors can still pursue compensation after a drilling rig injury. You may have a third-party claim against the operator, drilling company, or equipment manufacturer if their negligence contributed to the incident. A quick case review can confirm who may be responsible and what compensation you can pursue.
