How Can an Oil Rig Injury Lawyer Help?
Oil rig injury cases can be complex. When you are injured on the job, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, a workers’ comp claim will not cover all of your damages.
In some cases, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against any responsible parties in addition to filing a workers’ comp claim. This is why it is so important to work with an experienced oilfield accident attorney.
A lawyer can help you seek compensation for your:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
