According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 69 oil and gas extraction workers were fatally injured in 2017. These deaths occurred on an average of 876 rigs, which included both land-based and offshore rigs. Of this number, the majority took place in Texas, which saw 44 fatalities in an average of 431 rigs. Workers aged 21-30 saw the most deaths at 25%. Further, 10 of these individuals had been working in the industry for under 1 year. According to the institute, there were three events which caused multiple fatalities. These events included:
- 1. Pressure explosions
- 2. Combustion explosions or fires
- 3. Roadway vehicle incidents.
Aside from these tragic events, oil field workers face many hazards everyday while on the job. These dangers may lead to serious injury, extreme mental distress, or even death. Examples of these hazards may consist of:
Electrocution. Electrocutions on oil fields may occur through malfunctioning equipment, unsafe working conditions, and from the failure to implement proper safeguards.
Explosions. Explosions may occur from a natural gas leak, combustion, or perforation.
Being Crushed or Struck by Machinery. This may occur when machinery is discharged or when a worker is pushed against a stationary object.
Extreme Weather Conditions. Working in extreme weather conditions, such as windstorms, freezing temperatures, and intense heat is also very dangerous.
Harmful Chemicals. Oil field workers are frequently exposed to harmful chemicals, such as hydrogen sulfide, which can be deadly in high doses.
Working in an oil field is extremely demanding and can become very dangerous. These dangers, combined with long working hours and little time off, increase the chances of being injured or killed while on the job. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed while working on an oil field, you may be wondering what you can do to get compensation for these injuries. Consider contacting an experienced personal injury attorney to help you with your matter.

The statute of limitations is the legal time limit you must file a claim before you are barred from receiving compensation. This time limit varies from state to state and from claim to claim, so it is crucial to contact the right attorney in your area as soon as you have been injured. In Texas, you will have two years from the date of your personal injury accident, including those sustained from an oil field incident, to file your claim. If you have any further questions regarding the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim, contact Zinda Law Group as soon as possible. We are available for our clients 24/7.

Available 24 / 7|Free ConsultationCan I afford an injury lawyer near me?
After a traumatic oil field accident, you may be wondering whether you can afford the best attorney to fight on your behalf. You may be concerned with consultation fees, hourly rates, and other related fees and costs. These fees may become unmanageable, and you may become overwhelmed or unable to continue your case. Fortunately, Zinda Law Group does not require these kinds of fees. Below are examples of the different kinds of attorney’s fees you may see and an explanation of the contingency fee basis that our attorneys work under.
Consultation Fee
If an attorney requires a consultation fee, he or she will require payment before discussing your potential case. This fee may be based on the attorney’s hourly rate, or it may be discounted. Either way, you are required to pay this fee whether or not the attorney decides to pursue your personal injury case. You must also pay this fee regardless of whether you chose hire the attorney. Zinda Law Group attorneys offer free initial consultations. This means that you do not pay to speak with us regarding your potential oil field injury case.
Hourly Rate
Many attorneys work on an hourly basis. This means that you must pay the attorney their hourly rate for each hour they spend working on your case. This can become very expensive, very quickly. For example, if an attorney spends four hours reviewing paperwork, and charges $200 per hour, you will owe them $800, regardless of whether you believe they spent their time wisely or not. Further, you must pay this hourly rate even if the attorney fails to successfully win any monetary compensation for your injuries or property damage. You must also pay this fee as the case progresses.
Zinda Law Group’s Lubbock workplace injury lawyers do not require an hourly rate. This means you do not have to worry about paying our team each week or month we work. You will only pay us after we are able to win you compensation for your damages.
Retainer Fee
A retainer fee is paid upfront to guarantee the attorney will commit to your case. This fee does not ensure that the attorney will be successful in your case and is typically not refundable if the attorney fails to win compensation on your behalf. At Zinda Law Group, our lawyers do not ask for a retainer fee. Further, you do not pay us a cent unless we are able to win you compensation for your injuries, mental anguish, or property damage. This allows you to focus on your recovery, not on how you will pay your lawyer their retainer fee or related costs.
Contingency Fee
Under a contingency fee agreement, the client does not pay the attorney unless the attorney is able to get the client monetary compensation. In other words, the client’s obligation to pay is contingent upon a successful outcome in his or her case. Under this agreement, the attorney is more likely to use his or her time efficiently, work more strategically, and work as quickly as possible, as he or she will not get paid unless the case is won. Zinda Law Group attorneys only work on a contingency fee basis. This allows all our clients to pursue the maximum amount of compensation available in their case without the need to worry about paying immediate, often expensive, legal fees.
After a debilitating oil field accident, you should not have to worry about being able to afford top-quality legal representation along with your medical bills. That is why Zinda Law Group attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. When you hire one of our experienced attorneys, you can rest easy knowing your case will move forward without the need to pay upfront costs or fees.
