Oil Field Injury Lawyer in West Texas
Oil field accidents in the Permian Basin cause severe injuries. Karl Luth holds oil companies, contractors, and equipment manufacturers accountable.
West Texas is home to some of the most active oil fields in the world, and oil field work is among the most dangerous occupations in America. When oil companies cut corners on safety, workers pay the price with catastrophic injuries or their lives. Karl Luth has the knowledge and resources to take on powerful oil companies and fight for the full compensation oil field injury victims deserve.
Oil field accidents in the Permian Basin and throughout West Texas include blowouts and explosions, fires and burns, equipment failures, falls from heights, being struck by falling objects, chemical exposure and toxic poisoning, electrocution, and vehicle accidents on oil field roads. Many oil field injuries result in severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other life-altering conditions. If an oil field accident resulted in a death, the family may have a wrongful death claim. Chemical exposure may also lead to toxic poisoning claims.
Many oil field workers assume workers’ compensation is their only option after an injury. But if a third party — a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — was responsible for the accident, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit for full damages, including pain and suffering, which workers’ comp doesn’t cover. Karl Luth investigates all potential sources of liability. See also our workplace injuries attorney page for more information about third-party claims.
OSHA sets strict safety standards for oil field operations. When companies violate these standards and workers are injured, those violations are powerful evidence of negligence. Karl Luth works with oil field safety experts to identify OSHA violations and other safety failures that contributed to your accident.
Frequently
Texas law requires motorcycle riders under 21 to wear a helmet. Riders 21 and older may ride without a helmet if they have completed a safety course or have qualifying health insurance. However, not wearing a helmet can affect your injury claim — insurance companies may argue it contributed to your head injuries.
Yes, but the insurance company may argue your injuries were worsened by not wearing a helmet. Texas comparative negligence law means your damages could be reduced by your percentage of fault. Karl Luth will work to minimize any fault assigned to you.
