Seasoned Experience with Pipeline Injury Cases
Odessa, Midland, and Pecos Oilfield Accident Attorney
The pipelines that run throughout an oilfield, oil rig, or oil refinery are often the source of the worst accidents within the industry. Without routine maintenance that corrects all problems, big or small, a pipeline can catastrophically fail, or even just crack slightly, leading to a massive catastrophe.
Pipeline failures may result in:
- Explosions and fires
- Strong concussive blasts
- Flying debris
- Structure collapse

Injuries Suffered in a Pipeline Accident
The result of a pipeline accident of any measure can become disastrous, especially if safety standards have been allowed to slip at the worksite. It is not uncommon for an oilfield worker injured by a defective or burst pipeline to experience injuries that will negatively affect them for the rest of their life. Any compensation awarded to the injured party, through settlement, negotiation, or a verdict, must take into account initial medical costs as well as those that will be accrued for many years into the future.
Injuries reported in pipeline accidents include:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries, or TBI
- Severe burns
- Permanent disfigurement
- Spinal cord damage
The destructive force of a pipeline failure may be so great that any injuries suffered prove to be fatal. In such circumstances, we can file a wrongful death claim on your behalf to pursue different forms of compensation, including loss of consortium. We will work closely with you to ensure that your case is moving at your pace. The last thing we would want to do would be to add any more discomfort to your life.
