Oilfield accident attorney
Oilfield accident attorney
for Texas energy workers.
Oilfield work pays well because it's dangerous. Long hours, heavy equipment, high pressure — literally. When a blowout, a rig failure, or a fatigue-driven mistake leaves you hurt, the operators have teams ready to limit their liability.
What you're dealing with.
Oilfield accidents involve a tangle of companies — the operator, the drilling contractor, the service companies, the equipment providers. When something goes wrong, each one tends to point at the others. Cutting through that to find who's actually responsible is where an experienced attorney earns their keep.
The injuries in oilfield cases are frequently severe: crush injuries, amputations, burns, falls, and worse. These cases demand a full accounting of long-term costs — and a willingness to take on some of the biggest companies in Texas.
What to do next.
If you're reading this from a hospital bed, your phone, or somewhere worse — you're already doing the most important thing: looking for help. Here's the rest.
Report and document
Report the incident and, if you safely can, note the conditions, equipment, and companies involved. Details fade fast.
Hold off on statements
Multiple companies' insurers may reach out. Don't give recorded statements before talking to us.

Free consultation in English or Spanish. We'll sort out who's liable and what your claim is worth.
Why it matters who represents you.
We untangle who's responsible
Operator, contractor, service company, equipment maker. We map out every company on the site and pursue each one whose negligence played a part.
We take on big operators
Oil companies have deep pockets and aggressive defense teams. We prepare every case to stand up to them — and to a jury if needed.
We account for the full cost
Severe oilfield injuries can end careers. We build claims that reflect lost earning capacity, long-term care, and the real impact on your family.
In their words.
“I didn't pay anything until they won. I highly recommend Johnny to anyone who needs a real fighter on their side.”
Questions, answered.
Several companies were on the site. Who do I sue?
That's exactly the question we answer. Oilfield accidents commonly involve the operator, drilling contractor, service companies, and equipment manufacturers. We investigate to identify every party whose negligence contributed — because each one may be a source of recovery.
I signed paperwork when I was hired. Did I sign away my rights?
Maybe not. Some agreements try to limit worker claims, but they aren't always enforceable, and they rarely block claims against third parties. Bring us the paperwork and we'll tell you where you actually stand.
How long do I have to file?
Generally two years from the date of injury in Texas, but oilfield sites change fast and evidence disappears, so acting early is important. (Attorney to verify the deadline for your specific case.)
What if the accident happened far from Houston?
That's fine. We handle oilfield cases across Texas — the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford, and beyond. Distance isn't a barrier to us taking your case.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work no win, no fee — we only get paid if we win, from the recovery. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
