East Texas Oilfield Injury Lawyer

Tyler Drilling Rig Accident Attorney

Work in the oil and gas exploration industry is widely recognized for its dangers as well as the opportunities it provides for hardworking people to earn a solid living. In East Texas, along the Gulf Coast and other locations statewide, workers on drilling rigs, workover rigs and pipelines are exposed to unsafe working conditions that cause catastrophic accidents.

If you or a family member has been injured on the job in a rig explosion, pipeline explosion or other type of Texas oil field accident, it can be critical to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., we have the resources to conduct a thorough accident investigation and evaluate all your options for obtaining the financial compensation you need and deserve.

Decades of Experience in Work Accident Investigation and Litigation

We understand the hazards faced by oil field workers who deal with volatile, explosive materials, heavy equipment and a range of other hazards every day. Although some injury risks are recognized by roughnecks as "part of the job," accidents are often caused by oil companies, contractors and equipment manufacturers cutting corners on workplace safety.

We take pride in our law firm's ability to:

  • Expose and prove the causes of oil field injuries and fatal accidents, which often include violations of workplace safety laws or other types of negligence
  • Hold insurers and other companies accountable to their obligations to oil field workers
  • Advocate aggressively and successfully for victims and their families, targeting the maximum compensation available to deal with medical expenses, lost wages and other damages
