Oil & Gas Well Accident Lawyers

The North Texas gas business is booming as a result of high gas prices and plentiful production out of the Barnett Shale, which is the natural gas basin covering the counties of Hood, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise. This is good news for mineral right owners and gas companies, but it also has resulted in more accidents and deaths. Indeed, this "boom" has put field workers at risk. Many workers are inexperienced and their training often occurs after the fact on the job. This puts both them and their co-workers at risk. In addition, workers are forced to work long hours in strenuous and dangerous conditions, there is pressure to move quickly in order to maximize profits, and equipment failures can be catastrophic. As such, the risk for serious injury and death in this field of work is increasing. Further, as more wells are drilled closer and closer to our neighborhoods, the risk of injury to local citizens and their families may rise.

Stephens & Anderson is currently representing two families in tragic deaths involving oil well accidents. One case involves a worker who was burned alive when a gas well exploded and the other involves a worker who fell from a derrick and was not provided any fall protection equipment.
