The oil and gas industry is a big part of Louisiana's economy. That's why there are more oil field accidents and injuries here than in other states. When an accident occurs and people are injured or killed, it's important to have the advice and counsel of an experienced oil field injury lawyer who can explain your rights and your options. You may be eligible for payment for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Causes of Oil Field Injuries
We have helped clients who suffered burns, paralysis or brain injury in an oil field accident. Our cases have involved:
- Oil field explosions and leaks
- Exposure to toxic chemicals used in drilling
- Defective equipment, tools and machinery
- Drilling rig and jackup rig accidents
- Offshore drilling and platform accidents
- Heavy equipment accidents
Industrial accidents such as these can occur offshore or on dry land. In some instances, offshore injuries are covered by specific laws related to maritime injuries, such as the Jones Act, the Longshore Harbor and Workers' Compensation Act, and other laws designed to protect specific classes of workers. Attorney Davis is highly knowledgeable about these laws and has handled many cases involving offshore oil drilling injuries.
Clients
We represent roughnecks, longshoremen, pipeline workers, heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, supply boat crew members and anyone else involved in the petroleum industry.
Seeking Full Compensation for Injured Clients
Depending on where the injury occurred, we seek compensation for injured clients under Louisiana's workers' compensation laws and file third-party personal injury claims in search of full payment for your injuries. We leave no stone unturned in search of full payment for our clients.
