Oil Field Accidents
Oil Drilling
As the oil drilling industry in Texas continues to grow, there is the continued possibility that oil workers will be seriously injured on the job, leaving them unable to work for weeks or months at a time. Anytime negligence plays a role in accidents, workers are entitled to fair compensation for their injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. At the Law Office of Olegario Estrada, P.C., we can help you or your loved one recover compensation following an oil drilling accident, including death cases, burn injuries from blowouts, eye and head injuries from defective equipment, electrical accidents during rig installation, and brain injury cases.
