Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which accidents involving oilfields give rise to a legal claim?
Accidents resulting from unsafe conditions, broken equipment, missing safety equipment, explosions, or contact with chemicals may be classified as such. Some occupational illnesses resulting from constant or prolonged activity or from exposure to harmful substances can be eligible for compensation.
Can I file a lawsuit against my employer for injuries I sustained in the oilfield?
Most of the time, workers' compensation is the only way to get compensation from your employer. You could proceed with a third-party claim if a contractor’s or supplier’s mistakes might have led to your accident.
For how long after my injury can I submit a claim?
You have 15 days after an injury at work to inform your employer and one year to submit your claim in New Mexico. How soon you act can be important, so don’t delay.
What compensation can I ask for following an oilfield injury?
Your particular injuries and their severity, the time you’ll miss from work, your medical spending, and whether a third party is involved determine your coverage amount. During our free consultation, we will explain how much your case could be worth to you.
What would happen if I didn’t give notice of my injury right away?
Sometimes errors become harder to clear up if you report late, but you still have a chance. Take another look at the facts—there is a chance we can still help you recover compensation
