Oil Field Accident Defense Attorneys in Oklahoma

The exploration for and extraction of oil and gas is a tough, dangerous business. Oklahoma, being at the heart of oil country, is a major center of this industry, and oilfield accidents, especially when death is involved, are not uncommon. While some of these injuries and deaths are truly accidental, many more are the result of preventable actions, such as carelessness, improper use of equipment, or defective products. When these preventable accidents occur, the victims are often persuaded to seek recompense from whoever has the deepest pockets — regardless of whether their target is truly liable.

In Oklahoma, under certain circumstances, an employee may make a claim for injuries beyond the confines of workers’ compensation. These claims have proliferated since the Parret decision. In addition, insurance carriers for the employer often deny coverage for such claims because of exclusions in the policy for intentional injuries. The law is in a state of rapid change in Oklahoma on these types of claims, and Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable trial lawyers are intimately familiar with how to aggressively defend such claims.
