If you’ve been injured on an oil field due to someone else’s negligence, you need an attorney who understands the risks, regulations, and hazards unique to the oil and gas industry. At Hilliard Law, we’ve spent over 40 years representing Texas oil field workers, helping them recover millions in compensation while holding negligent employers and third parties accountable.

We fight aggressively for our clients and handle every aspect of their case—from investigating the accident and documenting injuries to negotiating with insurance companies or taking your case to court. And because we work on a contingency basis, you pay nothing unless we win.

Why Hire Hilliard Law for Your Oil Field Injury Case?

Not all personal injury firms are equipped to handle complex oilfield claims. Here’s what sets Hilliard apart:

  • Decades of Industry-Specific Experience: We understand OSHA regulations, oilfield safety protocols, and industry hazards that other firms may overlook.
  • Proven Track Record: Our attorneys have recovered millions for oilfield and industrial accident victims, including cases involving heavy machinery, chemical exposures, and explosions.
  • Comprehensive Representation: We handle both workers’ compensation and personal injury claims, ensuring you recover everything you’re entitled to.
  • Hands-On Client Support: You’ll have direct access to your attorney every step of the way. We guide you through paperwork, medical evaluations, and insurance negotiations.
  • No Financial Risk: We work on a contingency basis—you pay nothing unless we win.

Hilliard Law combines deep legal expertise with real oilfield knowledge, giving injured workers the best chance to recover fully.

Do I Have a Valid Oil Field Injury Claim?

Even though oil and gas work is inherently dangerous, employers must follow strict safety regulations. Negligence occurs when they fail to:

  • Maintain or repair industrial machinery
  • Provide proper supervision or training
  • Supply adequate protective gear
  • Follow safety laws and OSHA regulations
  • Require workers to use unsafe or broken equipment

You may have a claim if:

  • You were injured and your employer didn’t provide workers’ compensation coverage
  • You are a self-employed contractor or independent operator
  • A third party caused or contributed to your injury

Hilliard Law attorneys investigate every accident thoroughly, identify all responsible parties, and fight to recover full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term impacts.

Steps to Take Immediately After an Oil Field Accident

If you’ve been injured, your actions in the first hours and days matter:

  1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately – Even minor injuries can worsen. Medical records are critical for your case.
  2. Report the Accident – Notify your supervisor or employer, and make sure the incident is officially documented.
  3. Preserve Evidence – Take photos of equipment, the accident site, and any visible injuries. Collect witness names and statements if possible.
  4. Avoid Giving Statements to Insurance Adjusters Without a Lawyer – Anything you say can impact your compensation.

Hilliard Law can guide you through each of these steps, ensuring your rights are protected from day one.

Compensation Available After an Oil Field Accident

Our Dallas oil field attorneys pursue compensation for both workers’ comp claims and personal injury lawsuits, depending on your situation. Possible recoveries include:

  • Medical expenses and future care
  • Lost wages and reduced earning potential
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Emotional distress and pain and suffering
  • Loss of quality of life

Every injury is unique, and we carefully calculate all damages to maximize your recovery.

Oil Field Wrongful Death Claims

Tragically, some accidents result in fatalities. Survivors—spouses, children, or personal representatives—can pursue wrongful death claims to recover:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Lost future income
  • Emotional and non-economic damages

Hilliard Law attorneys are experienced in both wrongful death and workers’ compensation cases, ensuring families get justice and financial support after devastating losses.

Why Acting Quickly Matters

Texas law imposes strict deadlines:

  • Workers’ compensation claims: Generally must be filed within 1 year of your injury.
  • Personal injury claims: Typically must be filed within 2 years of your accident if a third party is responsible.

Acting promptly ensures we can collect evidence, interview witnesses, and preserve your right to full compensation.
