Industrial jobs are inherently dangerous and come with many hazards, which result in devastating injuries and deaths. This is especially the case in Texas, as the state is home to a large majority of the nation’s oil refineries. In fact, Texas has one of the four largest oil refineries in the world – and is also home to the most fatal injuries that happen as a result of oil and gas accidents. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that Texas employs nearly 400,000 people within the oil and gas industry, which is the highest compared to any other state. These numbers explain why there are more oil and gas related accidents in Texas than other places around the United States.

Texas Is Home To The Highest Number Of Oil And Gas Accidents

Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) assert that the national

fatality rate for oil and gas workers in the U.S. is about seven times higher than all other occupations. Between 2007 and 2011, more deaths occurred due to workplace accidents in the oil and gas industry than in any other industry in Texas.

Industrial plants are dangerous to both employees and contractors simply because of the nature of the job. Additionally, these workers must operate heavy machinery and are working alongside potentially explosive materials. While there are laws in place designed to protect oil and gas workers, accidents still occur. If you or a loved one has been injured in an oil and gas accident that happened due to negligence, you may be able to seek compensation.

Causes Of Oil And Gas Accidents

Safety standards are set in place by OSHA, but these standards are not always followed. Some of the most common causes of oil and gas accidents include:

Improper training
Faulty or defective equipment
Unsafe working conditions
Failure to adhere to safety regulations
Unsafe practices
Exposure to toxic chemicals

Client Testimonials

Shamieh Law, and especially Ramez and Nina were amazing to work with. They got me the settlement I deserved and needed in order to cover my medical expenses and get back on the path to being fully myself. I was treated with professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness throughout my experience working with Shamieh Law. I knew I could trust and rely on their guidance. Everyone of the staff that I have met or spoken with has also lived up to the same level of customer service. I cannot recommend this firm enough.

Their negotiations with medical services is phenomenal! Mr. Jorge was sure that I was taken care of during this process. Even my initial case worker Daniel was helpful. It was a lengthy process, but they kept me informed. Well worth the wait!
