Oil Field & Mining Accidents

Oil fields and mines are hard places to work. The work is hard, the conditions are tough, and the dangers are always present. Wyoming has had a surge of mining for various minerals and coal, and Texas and Oklahoma are well-known for their oil fields. Oil field workers and miners are often injured on the job, and sometimes the injuries are catastrophic, leading to loss of limb, paralysis, brain damage, severe orthopedic injury, or even death. When that happens, you need experienced, knowledgeable attorneys to talk to about your potential case.

At Metier Law Firm, LLC, we have worked extensively with miners and oil rig workers injured on the job. We understand the inherent dangers of these jobs, as well as the precautions that employers are expected to take under OSHA regulations and laws such as the federal Mine Safety and Health Act. We also know that sometimes those laws and regulations aren’t followed closely and dangerous jobs become unreasonably dangerous as a result. If you have received a catastrophic injury from an accident on an oil rig or in a mine, we can look at your case and evaluate it for you. We can see if the accident could have been prevented or lessened if reasonable measures had been taken, and we can help you decide how to proceed with your case.
