San Antonio Oilfield Accident Lawyers
Standing Up for Injured Workers & Families Across Texas
The oil and gas industry is one of the most dangerous for workers. Oilfields are filled with high-pressure equipment, flammable materials, and long shifts under tough conditions. One mistake, one overlooked safety measure, and someone’s life can change forever.
At The Warrior Law Firm, we represent oilfield workers who’ve been seriously injured on the job, as well as families who have lost loved ones in fatal drilling or extraction accidents. Our San Antonio oilfield injury lawyers know how hard these workers push themselves every day—and how devastating it is when they’re hurt through no fault of their own.
These cases can be complicated and aggressive. Companies move fast to protect themselves, but we can move faster to protect you.
Call (210) 598-5006 or contact us online today to discuss your claim during a free, no-obligation consultation. Hablamos español.
Common Causes of Oilfield Accidents
Oilfield accidents are often the result of preventable safety failures. Employers have a duty to train workers, maintain equipment, and create a safe worksite—but that doesn’t always happen. When they cut corners, workers pay the price.
We handle oilfield accident cases involving:
- Blowouts and well explosions
- Equipment failures and malfunctions
- Falls from rigs or platforms
- Fires and chemical burns
- Collapsed derricks or hoisting accidents
- Truck crashes and transportation-related incidents
- Exposure to toxic gases or drilling fluids
- Inadequate training or supervision
- Fatigue-related injuries from long shifts
These are high-risk worksites. Workers are surrounded by heavy machinery, high-pressure systems, and dangerous substances. Safety has to be a top priority. When it’s not, workers can be seriously injured or even killed.
Common Oilfield Injuries in San Antonio
Because of the physical demands and hazards of oilfield work, injuries tend to be serious. In many cases, workers can’t return to the job or to the life they had before the accident.
Our oilfield accident attorneys have helped clients with catastrophic injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe burns and disfigurement
- Amputations and crush injuries
- Neck, back, and orthopedic trauma
- Chemical exposure and respiratory issues
- PTSD and psychological harm
We also represent families in fatal oilfield accident cases. Wrongful death lawsuits are among the most challenging cases we handle, and our attorneys provide clients with the personal care and support they need during such difficult times.
Who Is Liable for an Oilfield Accident?
Oilfield jobs often involve multiple companies and contractors working side by side. That means when an accident happens, more than one party may be responsible.
Depending on the circumstances, you may have a claim against:
- Your employer (if they were negligent)
- A third-party contractor
- The owner or operator of the drilling site
- The manufacturer of defective equipment
- A transportation company involved in a crash
We investigate every angle to identify what caused the incident and who should be held accountable. Our oilfield accident lawyers know how to navigate the oil and gas industry—and we don’t back down when powerful companies try to avoid responsibility.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
After an oilfield injury, you may be entitled to compensation that covers far more than your immediate medical bills. We build every case with a focus on long-term impact, so you can move forward with stability and support.
Compensation may include:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability and disfigurement
- Vocational retraining
- Funeral costs and wrongful death damages (for surviving families)
Our goal is to recover the full amount you need—not just for today, but for every challenge ahead.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident. Because oilfield accidents can involve complex liability issues, it’s important to consult a lawyer promptly to preserve your rights and evidence.

Yes. If a party other than your employer—such as equipment manufacturers, maintenance contractors, or transportation companies—caused or contributed to your accident, you may be able to file a separate personal injury lawsuit for damages beyond workers’ compensation benefits.
-
Most oilfield workers are covered by workers’ compensation, which provides benefits for medical treatment and lost wages. However, some oilfield jobs involve multiple employers or contractors, which can complicate claims. In some cases, you may also have a third-party claim for additional compensation.
-
In San Antonio and throughout Texas, oilfield accidents often result from equipment failure, lack of safety training, hazardous working conditions, falls, explosions, vehicle accidents, and exposure to toxic chemicals.
