Oil Rig Accident Representation in Texas and Across the Gulf Coast
In Texas and the Gulf Coast, drilling for oil and gas is prevalent. With that constant activity to meet the high demand for these natural resources, worker safety is sometimes overlooked in the name of profits. Accidents can happen in oil fields and on drilling rigs that cause serious injuries to workers, many of whom are not trained or supervised properly. Oil companies should be held accountable for their failure to protect employees from harm.
The attorneys at the Edwards Law Firm provide experienced representation for oil field and drilling rig accidents in Texas and throughout the country. Since 1962, we have helped those hurt in serious accidents to pursue the maximum compensation available for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other expenses.
