What are the Major Causes of Oilfield Accidents in Texas?
When negligence is a factor in the workplace, there is no limit to the types of injuries that can happen. During times of high demand, there may even be new workers brought into the industry who may not have the needed training and experience.
Moreover, the machinery involved in drilling and extraction is large, heavy, and complex, and when it is not maintained properly, or the employees who are running it are poorly trained, everyone at the worksite is at risk for a life-threatening accident.
Some of the more common causes of Texas oilfield accidents and injuries may include, but are not limited to:
- Outdated industrial equipment
- Lack of employee experience
- Falls from heights
- Dropped objects
- Defective equipment and machinery
- Poor equipment maintenance
- Transportation accidents
- Failure to follow company safety procedures
- Heavy equipment collapses
- Lack of safety equipment
- Failure to follow industry regulations
- Failure to provide proper training and/or supervision
- Lifting equipment, forklift accidents, and crane incidents
- Slips and falls
- Vehicle accidents and collisions

What If I Believe I May Be Partially At-Fault For My Austin, Texas Oilfield Accident Injuries?
There is no possible way to know if you were partially at fault for an oilfield accident in Texas without speaking with an attorney who can investigate the complete circumstances that caused your injuries.
Here is why:
- Safety violations and improper maintenance of oilfields throughout Texas can lead to serious and even fatal injuries to workers, contractors, and the public without notice.
- Hiring, training, and supervision processes and procedures for new and existing employees may not be up to industry standards.
- Employers and supervisors must safely minimize the chances of any of the employees under their care suffering serious injuries. When they fail, people get hurt.
If any of these scenarios were the cause of your injuries, there is no way to know if the accident you were injured in was your fault.
When negligence is a factor in a Texas oilfield accident, our attorneys will investigate your case so you can pursue the financial recovery you are entitled to for your injuries.
