With some of America’s hardest jobs to perform each day, oilfield workers earn every penny of their pay. Severe injuries and death are tragically common when various issues arise, and data support this fact. There were 349 severe injuries during a single two-year period in jobs related to support activities for oil and gas operations. Oil and gas pipeline construction saw 95 deaths.
When workers sustain an injury while performing their duties, there will be time away from work. No oilfield work means no pay. That’s when Parnall Law Firm, LLC – a firm with New Mexico oilfield injury lawyers ready to fight for compensation – springs into action.
Call us today, or contact us online. Oilfield workers injured on the job may be entitled to substantial compensation for their unneeded injuries.

If your injuries stemmed from any major accident listed below or any other accident while at work in an oilfield, call our firm immediately:
Our oilfield explosion lawyers concentrate on investigating the root cause of your accident, talking to coworkers who may have seen the explosion, blowout, or act of negligence, and then negotiating settlement options with your employer and their insurer.
We’ll fight for the compensation you deserve
Because New Mexico employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance on their employees, injured workers may receive compensation if they’ve been injured regardless of fault. Our oilfield burn injury lawyers are prepared to aid in seeking these benefits or appeal if your claim was denied or undervalued.
Employers who retaliate against injured workers for filing workers’ compensation claims may be held liable under the law, too. Discuss your case with an experienced oilfield accident attorney immediately if you believe your employer has retaliated after you filed for benefits.
Personal injury claims may also apply to your oilfield accident. If you’re able to prove that you were injured due to negligence on the part of a contractor or other non-employee third party, our Hobbs and Carlsbad oilfield injury attorneys are ready to analyze the accident to determine if a third-party lawsuit may be an option.
Did faulty equipment cause your injury? It may be possible to hold the manufacturer accountable for providing shoddy equipment to use while drilling or constructing pipe or performing other oilfield tasks. Did your employer create an environment where unnecessary hazards caused injury? We can work to hold them accountable for not having your safety in mind.
If you’re still waiting to file your injury claim, remember that New Mexico state statute puts a three-year time limit on filing personal injury claims. Wrongful death claims must be filed within three years of your loved one’s passing.
There are many potential parties who may be responsible after an oilfield accident in New Mexico. A casing crew, wireline services, company man, roustabout, the drilling crew, or many others could be responsible for your injury, depending on the circumstances.
Armed with skilled negotiation tactics and the desire to help our clients recover, our firm works diligently to hold insurers and oil companies accountable. The oilfield injury attorneys from Parnall Law Firm, LLC offer dedicated representation in all areas of New Mexico workplace injury law and will fight oil companies to seek proper compensation for your injuries and related losses. Depending on the circumstances, we can pursue benefits for medical bills, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and money for personal items of value damaged on the oilfield.
