Helping Oil field Injury Victims to receive just compensation for their injuries and suffering
There are very few Jobs in America that subject workers to danger as drilling for Oil & Gas and for that matter any thing revolving around these activities.
Due to the increased drilling activities in South Texas it should come as no surprise that the number of accidents involving Oil Rig workers has dramatically gone up in the past several years. With that increase in the Oil Companies are trying to cut corners and pushing their workers to ever higher performance levels.
Longer work hours in this environment will contribute greatly to a lack of focus on the safety and well being of the employees.
Tragic accidents in the Oilfield happen, when safety is sacrificed for speed, greed and poor judgment.
Oil field workers who suffer from these accidents often experience long term disabilities, that go way beyond workers compensation.
Too many of the incidents are a result of negligence, poor training, old or defective equipment and insufficient safety features. Whatever the cause for the injuries, it is very important for you as a victim of an Oilfield Injury to get the compensation that is due to you for your medical expenses, lost wages and the pain and suffering.
If you or your family member has suffered such a catastrophic accident in the Eagle Ford Oil field you need experienced, determined and successful Attorney like Sandra D. Laurel to represent you and your family in a court of law.

- More than 100 injuries from one blast at a refinery in Texas City
