Oil Field Explosion FAQs

Understanding the most common types of accidents to occur at our nation’s plants, refineries, and factories.

Nothing.  We do not charge for case evaluation.  And, if we believe you have a viable claim, you do not pay us a retainer and we do not charge by the hour.  We are only paid if we recover money for you. 

A claim against your employer may or may not be barred by workers’ comp laws.  There are many different factors that come into play and require a review by an attorney of your specific coverage and accident.  Also, even if the claim against your employer is barred, you may still have a claim against a negligent contractor.  So, the best thing to do is get legal advice from a competent attorney.

No, you do not need to wait.  Please give us a call as soon as possible. Depending on the situation, we may be able to get started on the case while he is recovering.

Yes.  Please give us a call and we will set up a meeting at a time and location that is convenient for you.
