    Millions and Millions Won for Workers Injured in Oil Rig Explosions and Fires

    Our Houston oil rig explosion attorneys are privileged to assist injured offshore and maritime workers throughout the United States with a focus in Texas, New Mexico, and Louisiana. Oil and gas employees and other offshore maritime workers are often exposed to dangerous working conditions that can lead to oil rig explosions and fires. From malfunctions on oil rigs to maintenance issues with vessels and land-based machinery, it is frightening to think about how many daily risks offshore and maritime workers face. Unfortunately, these risks too often lead to life-changing and fatal accidents. While many oil rig explosions and fires are the tragic result of bottom-line thinking at the oil and gas companies, many more result from simple mistakes and unexpected equipment failures. From electrical issues to massive oil spills, countless dangers can change people’s lives forever in the blink of an eye. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or tragically killed in an oil rig explosion or oilfield accident, you should contact our experienced Houston oil rig attorney for a free, confidential consultation to discuss your legal rights as soon as possible before they are jeopardized by an employer or insurance company.

    Common Causes of Oil Rig Explosions and Fires

    Without question, one of the worst and most well-known explosions in the Gulf of Mexico was the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. Eleven oil rig workers died, and millions of barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf. Investigators ultimately attributed the Deepwater Horizon explosion to several contributing factors, ranging from a top-down de-emphasis of safety protocols to the misinterpretation of pressure test results following the sealing of the well. Along with these types of mistakes, many other issues continue to lead to offshore and other maritime explosions and fires every year. Some of the most common causes include:

    • Oil rig equipment malfunctions, including valves, alarms, separators, and blowout preventers
    • Electrical fires
    • Oil and gas leaks
    • Blowouts
    • Engine room failures
    • Lack of adequate safety measures
    • Employer and employee negligence

    Regardless of the cause, as an offshore worker (or the close relative of an offshore worker who was killed in an explosion or fire), there are special laws that may entitle you to recover significant financial compensation for your losses.

    Compensation for Victims of Oil Rig Injuries

    Laws like the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act and the Death on the High Seas Act provide special protections for oil rig workers and their families. Recognizing the dangers that maritime and offshore workers face daily, in many cases, these laws provide for no-fault compensation. This means that victims and their families are often entitled to compensation regardless of the cause of the explosion or fire. However, these laws also allow for fault-based claims, and in many cases, filing a fault-based claim is necessary to recover full compensation. At Morrow & Sheppard LLP, a Houston oil rig explosion lawyer will help you seek the largest possible settlement or verdict for your losses. We will take on the responsible parties to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. To learn more about your legal rights, schedule a free consultation today.

      I was injured and my business closed down due to an accident in 2016. Daniel Sheppard became my greatest asset. He hired professional experts for their views and opinions as well as conducting numerous depositions. Daniel is hard working and no nonsense when handling your case. Daniel keeps you... informed on what's going on and what to expect. I'm from Louisiana and my case was in Texas. Daniel Sheppard worked alone side my other attorney Yuri Beck, and the both of them did a fantastic job representing me and settling my case.

      Nick Morrow and John Sheppard were the lead attorneys on my case to hold an apartment complex with inadequate security responsible for the death of my son. The two of them were focused and determined to represent me and my son's children with tenacity. As the case continued over time, it became... apparent that we were not merely clients that were a means to a financial end to them but people who had experienced a life changing and devastating loss. They realized that as a result of our loss, there needed to be accountability that could only be obtained through legal actions. Throughout the legal process, Nick Morrow and John Sheppard were not only professional and transparent but also compassionate and empathetic as they lead us through the difficult and sometimes confusing legal maze. Every person in their office that was involved with our case exemplified an extension of the genuine concern that began with attorneys Morrow and Sheppard. I have and will continue to recommend this firm to individuals who find themselves in need of legal representation.read more

      Before I engaged John Sheppard, I was concerned that I might lose my case. However, John came onboard, turned things around, and set me on a good course to win. He got up to speed quickly on the facts and determined exactly what we needed to do. He is great at strategy, filing discovery and... other motions, and arguing before the court. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. If you need legal help in a personal injury action, commercial law or whatever, hire him immediately! He is a pleasure to work with, will thoroughly explain all to you in a manner you can understand, and will get you the best possible outcome. A+++read more
