Representing Injured Oilfield Workers
Large parts of the country and the world rely on Oklahoma oilfields to supply them with much-needed fuel for industrial and consumer use. The people who work on these oilfields deserve the highest level of attention paid to their safety on the job.
Unfortunately, all too often, oil companies and other parties cut corners, putting oilfield workers in danger. At The Yaffe Law Firm, our experienced attorneys help injured workers pursue the compensation they deserve from all available sources.

Carefully Investigating the Causes of Your Accident
Oilfields are among the most dangerous work sites, especially when individual workers, managers, and property owners do not take adequate care to avoid serious accidents. Common types of oilfield accidents include but are not limited to the following:
- Falls from derricks and other equipment
- Explosions and fires
- Electrocution on power lines
- Exposure to dangerous chemicals
These accidents can cause very serious injuries, including major burns and loss of limb. For these reasons, agencies like the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) have issued strict oilfield safety regulations.
Our attorneys are familiar with oilfield safety standards and the common causes of oilfield accidents. We work with credible experts such as engineers and former government employees to evaluate liability for these accidents.
Handling All Aspects of Your Injury Compensation Claims
If you were injured in an accident while working on an oilfield, you are almost certainly entitled to workers' compensation. However, these benefits are limited, including only partial lost wages. It is worth your while to investigate whether you have a personal injury claim as well.
If anyone other than your employer — including another contractor, a manufacturer, or a property owner — was partially responsible for the accident, we can help you pursue personal injury compensation from that party, as well as your workers' comp claim.
Don't hesitate to contact us to get your potential claims evaluated by a team of experienced personal injury and workers' compensation lawyers.
