Oil field and oil rig workers have some of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Not only do they work with highly flammable materials, but they also operate dangerous machinery that is both massive and complicated. Even when a worker is well-trained, well-rested, and working with properly maintained equipment, accidents can still happen. Injuries are even more likely when workers are under less-than-ideal conditions.
Here in New Mexico, we are no strangers to the dangers that oil field workers face every day, especially in areas around Carlsbad. News outlets regularly report on Carlsbad oil field workers injured by falling off a rig or in an oil field explosion or in oil truck accidents.
Beyond the short media snippets, many of us (including those working in the Carlsbad oil field) might be largely unaware of the variety of oil field injuries that occur, the causes of these injuries, and the legal options available to injured workers and their families under New Mexico law.

Injuries sustained in oil fields range in severity from scrapes and bruises to untimely deaths. Oil field workers operate heavy machinery that can easily chop off a limb, work in trenches and tunnels that can collapse, stand on oil rigs they can fall off of, and are surrounded by materials that can catch fire or explode.
