Oil Field Explosions

Albuquerque Lawyer: Oil Field Explosions

More than talk. Tough lawyers.

The black gold lying beneath the soil of New Mexico tempts contractors to cut corners and forge ahead with drilling and pipeline operations. When a push for production results in an oil field explosion, the burden of negligence is borne by workers.

At Will Ferguson & Associates in Albuquerque, our personal injury attorneys provide victims of oil field explosions with powerful representation, fighting to recover maximum compensation on our clients' behalf. If a member of your family was seriously or fatally injured in the course of a drilling operation, we invite you to contact us to arrange a free consultation with one of our lawyers.

Compensation for oil field explosion injuries

Serious burn injuries are possibly the most painful type of injury, yet workers' compensation does not cover pain and suffering. Oil field workers often live from paycheck to paycheck, yet workers' comp does not fully reimburse a worker injured in an explosion or fire for lost wages. Our attorneys work to recover additional compensation for our clients through third-party claims.

Our accident reconstructionists and scientific experts may uncover evidence that a faulty valve or faulty line caused an explosion. In that case, you may be entitled to a product liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.

If our investigation reveals that the pipeline or oil field was poorly maintained in a way that led to the fire or explosion, you may have a premises liability claim against the operator or owner, or a personal injury claim against another contractor.

If you lost a husband, wife, parent or child in an oil field explosion, our lawyers will work with economic experts to see that the value of your wrongful death claim is calculated accurately.
