Oilfields are dangerous places. Accidents involving faulty machinery, toxic gas, rigging or explosions can cause serious injury or result in death.<\/p>\n

If you or any of your relatives have suffered an injury due to an oilfield or oil refinery related accident, the employer may try to convince you that the workers’ compensation system is the only source of compensation. But that may not be the case. If the accident was caused by the negligence of an operator, a subcontractor, or a third party, you may be entitled to additional compensation for your losses and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n<\/div>
