Texas is home to more oilfields and oil drilling and production than any other state in the U.S. The work and heavy machinery lead to dangerous, sometimes fatal accidents. If you or someone you love were injured in a recent accident, our Texas oilfield accident lawyer will help you prove the cause of your injuries and identify the at-fault party.
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, we know how important it is to build a solid case and negotiate the best available settlement on your behalf. We take care of the hard work and details of building your case so you can concentrate on your physical and emotional recovery. We will investigate, collect evidence, and communicate with all parties for you. Our law firm never stops fighting for the clients we represent or their families.
Commonly Reported Oilfield Accidents
Working on an oilfield involves servicing wells, drilling, heavy-duty freight, and other potential hazards. According to statistics cited in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) research, oilfield accidents include:
- Oilfield vehicle accidents
- Being struck by objects on the oilfield
- Being caught between objects
- Being struck by a falling object
- Explosions
- Same level and falls from heights
- Electrocutions
- Cargo-related accidents
- Transporting hazardous substances
- Faulty equipment repair or maintenance
If you or a loved one were injured, or a loved one was fatally injured in an oilfield accident, our personal injury lawyer will review the cause and severity of your injuries. We will collect your medical records from all treating facilities and consult medical and subject matter experts who support your right to compensation.
Financial Liability for Your Oilfield Accident
Recovering compensation starts by knowing who to pursue. To identify the financially liable party, our legal team will investigate your accident and identify the at-fault party based on the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
The potentially liable party will depend on the cause of your accident. They can include your employer, truck and equipment manufacturers, or other third parties. Your lawyer will pursue the appropriate party and their insurer for you.
Please keep in mind that Loncar Lyons Jenkins will only take a case if the business does not offer workers’ compensation. If your place of employment is a “non-subscriber,” we can help you.

How the Statute of Limitations Affects Your Case in Texas
In general, the personal injury or wrongful death statute of limitations is two years, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. The statutory clock starts running on the date of the accident.
Complying with the statute of limitations is a critical part of your case. Failure to meet the mandatory deadline could mean:
- You cannot file your lawsuit at all
- Your lawsuit will be immediately dismissed
- You will have no further legal options
Our law firm will work hard to accurately interpret the filing deadline and file your lawsuit within the allotted time. We work equally hard to negotiate a settlement that avoids a lengthy court case.
