Due to the ever-growing increased demand for oil and gas, there is a continuous push for more crews and equipment that has put tremendous pressure on the industry to use inexperienced workers, unsafe equipment, and unreliable products. Because of these external pressures, unsafe work environments have culminated leading to an increase in work injuries from explosions, overexposure to dangerous chemicals, blowouts, and other well site accidents.

The potential hazards caused by this stressful line of work are significant, life altering, and debilitating. Oilfield workers work tireless and demanding hours for their employers and to benefit their families. We stand beside oilfield workers and believe that they should not suffer after an accident.
