Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after an oil field accident?
First, it’s advisable to seek medical attention for any injuries, even if they seem minor. Then, report the accident to your employer and document as many details as possible. Reaching out to an experienced workers’ compensation attorney early can help protect your rights.
Can I sue my employer if I’m injured on an oil field?
In Louisiana, most workers are covered by workers’ compensation, which generally limits lawsuits against employers. However, you may have a claim against third parties, such as equipment manufacturers, if their negligence contributed to your injury.
How long do I have to file a claim after an oil field injury?
In Louisiana, the deadline for filing a workers’ compensation claim is usually one year from the date of the injury or the date that you became aware of the injury. Personal injury claims against third parties may have different deadlines, so it’s best to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
What if my workers' compensation claim is denied?
If your claim is denied, you can appeal the decision. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the appeals process and work to secure the benefits you deserve.
How much does it cost to hire an oil field injury lawyer?
Most workers’ compensation attorneys, including our dedicated team at Crescent City Personal Injury, work on contingency. That means you pay nothing upfront, and you only owe a fee if your case is successful.
