    FAQs About Oilfield Accidents

    Can I file a claim if I was injured working offshore?

    Yes. Offshore workers are often protected under federal maritime laws such as the Jones Act or the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). An experienced oilfield injury lawyer will determine which laws apply and help you pursue compensation for medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

    Who is liable for an oilfield accident?

    Liability can involve multiple parties, including employers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and site operators. A skilled oilfield accident law firm investigates every factor to hold all responsible parties accountable.

    How long do I have to file an oilfield injury claim?

    Filing deadlines vary depending on the state and whether your case falls under maritime or state law. To protect your right to recover damages, it’s best to contact an oilfield injury attorney as soon as possible after the accident.

    What compensation can I recover after an oilfield or offshore accident?

    Injured workers may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, disability, and future care needs. Depending on the case, an oilfield injury law firm can also seek damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and wrongful death.
