Oil is big business in Texas, and the oil industry employs a large portion of the McAllen and South Texas population. As a result, many of our workplace injury cases involve accidents at oilfields and other oil industry job sites. Our work injury attorneys are familiar with the oil industry and the dangers oilfield workers face, including valve blowouts, drill bit accidents, and explosions. Whether you are an oil company employee or a contractor, we will help you find out who is liable to help potentially compensate you for medical bills and lost wages that result from your oilfield accident injury.

The Merchant Marine Act of 1920, more commonly called the Jones Act, allows sailors and offshore oil rig workers to seek compensation for injuries caused by their employers’ or fellow workers’ negligence. Depending on the time on the job you spend at sea, you may be able to file a Jones Act claim for work injuries in your field. The work injury lawyers of the Moore Law Firm will help you determine your legal options and which work injury laws apply in your case.
