How Do Oil Field Accidents Occur?

Oil industry workers and their supervisors are governed by numerous strict safety regulations meant to lower the inherent risk associated with this type of dangerous work. Despite this, accidents happen with alarming frequency.

Some of the dangers of oil drilling and common causes of oil field accidents include:

  • Safety regulation violations
  • Improper supervision
  • Lack of sufficient training
  • Defective equipment
  • Inadequate maintenance
  • Failure to conduct inspections

When supervisors, other employees, inspectors, and even oil companies as a whole are negligent, the dangers of oil drilling for workers increases. While no amount of financial compensation can negate the harm severe injuries cause, it can provide financial relief while injured employees are out of work and seeking medical care and allow for a much-needed sense of justice.

What are Common Oil Field Injuries?

According to the most recent data collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2008 there were 120 fatal work injuries in the oil and gas extraction industry. Latest reports for nonfatal injuries in the oil industry were from 2007 and recorded over 4,200 instances of injuries that did not lead to death but required time away from work.

While injuries may vary in severity from one individual to the next, if your injury required you to take time away from work this can result in unexpected financial burden for both you and your family. Common oil field injuries can include (but are not limited to) any of the following:

  • Injuries resulting from oil rig or vehicle collisions
  • Getting pinned, caught in between, or hit by machinery present at the drill site
  • Burns caused by explosions or fires
  • Broken bones or other serious injuries caused by falls
  • Electrical shock
  • Serious injuries caused by defective machines or improper training
