Helping Oilfield Workers Fight for Accountability

The oil and gas sector accounts for a significant portion of Oklahoma's economy, employing thousands across the state and supporting countless families. Unfortunately, some energy companies prioritize profit over the safety of their workers, which can lead to serious consequences for Oklahomans. Issues such as inadequate training, hasty hiring processes, poor maintenance of equipment, and disregard for recommended safety measures and equipment can often lead to disastrous accidents at oilfields.

When accidents occur, it’s common for workers and their families to bear the brunt of the consequences. This is where the Tulsa oilfield injury attorneys at Brewster & De Angelis step in. We represent oilfield workers who have been injured on the job at refineries and drilling sites across Oklahoma, Texas and the United States. Our knowledgeable team will leverage our deep understanding of the oil and gas industry and workers' rights to advocate for you.

The oil industry has a troubled reputation for providing hazardous working conditions for its employees. The legal team at Brewster & De Angelis is committed to holding negligent employers accountable for injuries and deaths resulting from their failure to prioritize worker safety.

Following an accident, the allure of a quick settlement from the responsible energy company can be strong. However, injured workers who build a solid case for trial often stand to recover significantly more. The Tulsa oilfield accident attorneys at Brewster & De Angelis are dedicated to helping you construct a robust case, maximizing your potential recovery following an oilfield incident in Oklahoma.

Common Causes of Oilfield Accidents: A Closer Look

The oil drilling industry is inherently risky, with daily serious injuries and fatalities reported at oil rigs and drilling sites nationwide. Accidents can stem from a variety of factors, including negligent colleagues, inadequate safety equipment, ineffective safety measures, or any other number of reasons. Given the high-stakes, fast-paced nature of the oil industry, even minor errors can escalate into catastrophic accidents, causing widespread property damage and injuring numerous workers.

Here's a closer look at some of the more prevalent causes of oilfield injuries:

  • Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals: Workers often come into contact with dangerous chemicals, which can lead to health complications over time.
  • Untrained Workers: Workers without adequate training can make mistakes that lead to accidents.
  • Slips and Falls: Wet or uneven surfaces can lead to slips and falls, resulting in injuries.
  • Structural Failures: Collapsed work rigs and decks can cause severe injuries or even death.
  • Defective Equipment: Manufacturing or installation defects can cause equipment to malfunction, leading to accidents.
  • Equipment-Related Accidents: Heavy machinery can crush workers or be injured by falling, rolling, or flying equipment.
  • Explosions and Fires: These are common in an environment where highly flammable materials are handled. They can cause severe burns, injuries, and even loss of life.
  • Vehicle Accidents: These occur when transportation used in and around the drilling sites is involved in an accident.
  • Electrical Burns: Faulty wiring or handling of electrical equipment can result in severe burns.
  • Insufficient Safety Measures: Lack of proper safety equipment or inadequate training can increase the likelihood of accidents.
  • Falls from Heights: Workers often have to work at great heights, increasing the risk of serious injuries from falls.
  • Lack of Supervision: The absence of proper supervision on job sites can lead to negligence and accidents.

Understanding the common causes of oilfield industry accidents can help prevent on-the-job injuries and contribute to creating safer work environments in the oilfield industry.

Proven Results & Success

Hear From Our Past Clients
    "We are so grateful to the team at Brewster & DeAngelis."
    When we came to Brewster & DeAngelis, we had no idea what we wanted or what we were doing. We were broken and grieving and trying to make sense of a senseless situation, and Guy, Monty, Clark… the entire office, really, starting with the front desk… stepped in and took the burden off our shoulders. We didn’t have to worry about what we were doing or what we wanted anymore because they took the lead in a compassionate and efficient manner- they truly cared about helping our family and they didn’t ask us to carry any additional burdens- they took time to discover what we didn’t know we needed and they took care of business. They also made sure to address all of our needs outside of a “typical” legal experience by encouraging and facilitating our advocacy and educational awareness. We never wanted to need an attorney, but when we did, we were blessed to find amazing friends and supporters. We are so grateful to the team at Brewster & DeAngelis.

Their dedication to doing what's right not only instilled confidence in their legal expertise but also made me feel genuinely cared for. Throughout my case, their kindness and support made a significant difference, making a challenging situation feel more manageable. I couldn't recommend Brewster & De Angelis Law Offices highly enough for their exceptional ethics and compassionate approach.

    "There are no words for how grateful I am to the entire Brewster & De Angelis team and how hard they worked to get justice for my son, Gavin, after 4 long years."
    There are no words for how grateful I am to the entire Brewster & De Angelis team and how hard they worked to get justice for my son, Gavin, after 4 long years. I sat in the court room for seven days and saw how hard each and everyone worked and the fight they put in each time they got up. I saw how much they cared. I strongly believe if it was not for this team, I would not have gotten justice for Gavin in his medical negligence case. I will forever be thankful.
    - Krystal B.
    "I will forever be grateful to the zealous lawyering and selfless generosity of this extraordinary law firm."
    My family and I are so grateful for the countless hours and all the hard work that each attorney and staff member of Brewster & De Angelis devoted over several years in the pursuit of justice. Clark Brewster and Katie Arnold McDaniel took the time to discover what no other person - not my previous defense attorney, the district attorney, or the Court - took the time to find. The erroneous cancelation of my driver’s license was the product of a court clerk’s mistake. What an amazing team! I will forever be grateful to the zealous lawyering and selfless generosity of this extraordinary law firm.
    - Stephen J.
    "Five stars!"
    Five stars! Katie is one amazingly smart cookie! Once she enters the room, you know you're in good hands! Also, probably best not to get on her bad side, you'll lose!
    - Brandon M.
    "I cannot recommend better advocates than the Brewster & DeAngelis Team."
    The office staff is polite, competent, and caring. Mr. Brewster and Mr. Fortney were generous with their time, giving detailed and informative advice. Katie Arnold McDaniel is a star. She has counseled me through various case types. Her ability to quickly understand information relevant to a dispute, analyze the issues, and find the means to resolve them is amazing to watch. Katie is a fierce advocate, compassionate, and trustworthy. She timely communicates and will do what she says she will do. I highly recommend this law firm.
    - Mallory M.
    "Mbilike is the most ethical and honest attorney around and his work ethics are top notch. Thank you Mbilike"
    Mbilike with Brewster & De Angelis represented me as a defendant in a case in Claremore Oklahoma. we went through 2.5 years of discovery, depositions and on into trial. His work was excellent and stood up to everything that the opposing council threw at us. The judge was obviously impressed by his writings and responses as well. We won on every account, and did not even argue our case after the plaintiff rested, as we knew the judge had all the information needed from the plaintiffs argument. this was a long arduous suit by some really unethical people and Mbilike put it on without a hitch and received a big win. Mbilike is the most ethical and honest attorney around and his work ethics are top notch. Thank you Mbilike
    - Jim C.
    "We will be forever grateful to them for giving us a chance to live again, following the single worst day of our lives."
    Jennifer and her team have been invaluable in helping us navigate life following my father's injury. The negligence of medical "professionals" left our family broken and afraid. Without the assistance of this wonderful team, we would not have ever recovered. They advised us, listened to us, supported us, and fought for us when no one else would. We will be forever grateful to them for giving us a chance to live again, following the single worst day of our lives.
    - Jessica M.
