Experienced Oil Field
Accident Lawyers in South Texas
Oil field accidents can have devastating consequences both for the environment, and for the individuals who work in this industry. Legally, when an oil field accident occurs due to unsafe or preventable conditions, poor equipment, or certain other causes, injured victims may be entitled to compensation under the law. Some of the most common injuries in an oil field are well fires, also referred to as blowouts, falls from platforms, or injuries sustained when equipment is dropped from a height and lands on another.
If you or a member of your family has been injured in a south Texas oil field accident — the attorneys at the Law Offices of Tinsman & Sciano have the experience (nearly 40 years as a firm), the knowledge of the industry and the investigative and financial resources to help.

Catastrophic Injuries and Compensation
Whether the accident occurs on an offshore oil rig, an inland derrick or a Gulf Coast refinery — the nature of the business itself and the massive power of the equipment involved will often combine to produce catastrophic results for nearby workers.
In our practice, we pursue wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of families and represent injured workers who've sustained various types of life-changing and catastrophic injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Paralyzing spinal cord injuries
- Back injuries (herniated discs, nerve impingements, etc.)
- Amputation injuries
- Severe burns
- Vision or hearing loss
Compensation for these injuries needs to accurately reflect their true cost to the victim over a lifetime. This can amount to a great deal of money. Recognizing that, corporate lawyers and insurers use two common tactics. The first is to make a low-ball settlement offer soon after the accident in the hope that the injured person or their family will want to put the whole thing behind them. The second is to avoid responsibility altogether by shifting the blame for the accident on the conduct of the injured person or their coworkers.
In any case, seeking out the advice and representation of an experienced attorney as soon after a workplace accident as possible is something you should consider. Our lawyers have well over 140 years of collective experience to draw from and will take care to make certain that you obtain fair compensation. Ideally this can be accomplished through negotiation. If it cannot, we will not hesitate to litigate the matter in court.
