What Is Your Case Worth?
Oilfield Injury Damages
Our Mississippi offshore injury firm builds every case with trial in mind—so employers, contractors, and insurance carriers know they can’t shortchange you.
While every case is different, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost income and earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
- Loss of consortium (for spouses and families)
- Wrongful death benefits (if a loved one was killed on the job)
Why Oilfield Accidents Happen in Mississippi
Mississippi sits atop major oil and gas reserves, with active wells and exploration operations across Madison County and beyond. From inland rigs to pipeline construction sites, oilfield work is physically demanding, fast-paced, and fraught with risk. But despite the danger, employers have a legal duty to provide workers with a reasonably safe jobsite.
Unfortunately, many oilfield accidents are the result of preventable failures like:
- Poorly maintained equipment
- Inadequate training or supervision
- Failure to enforce lockout/tagout procedures
- Communication breakdowns between subcontractors
- Ignoring OSHA and industry safety standards
- Pressures to meet production quotas at the expense of worker safety
When oilfield operators put profits ahead of people, the consequences can be life-altering—or life-ending. Our Mississippi personal injury firm refuses to sit back and accept this. We fight for injured oilfield workers and families who have lost loved ones in explosions, vehicle accidents, fires, and other incidents at oil and gas sites.
