At the Law Office of Chris Arce, P.C., we are dedicated to representing those injured in oilfield accidents, ensuring they receive the support and compensation they deserve.

Oilfield injuries can result from various hazards, including equipment malfunctions, slips and falls, exposure to toxic substances, and vehicular accidents. Workers may face dangerous conditions such as high pressure systems, heavy machinery, and extreme weather, all of which increase the likelihood of accidents. Understanding these risks is vital for both employers and employees to implement effective safety measures.

Workers in the oil and gas industry have specific legal rights, including the right to a safe work environment and access to worker’s compensation benefits for injuries sustained on the job. Unfortunately, many workers may face obstacles when seeking compensation, such as employer negligence or disputes with insurance companies. It’s crucial for injured workers to know their rights and have legal representation to navigate these challenges.
