Oil Field Injury Attorney — Corpus Christi and South Texas

South Texas is energy country — home to the Eagle Ford Shale, one of the most productive oil and gas plays in North America, and to dozens of refineries and petrochemical facilities along the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. For the thousands of oilfield workers who keep this industry running, the work is essential but dangerous. When a workplace accident occurs on a drilling rig, at a refinery, or on a pipeline, you need an oil field injury attorney in Corpus Christi who will fight hard for full and fair compensation.

Anderson Alexander PLLC represents injured oilfield workers and their families throughout South Texas, including Corpus Christi, the Eagle Ford Shale region, and the Coastal Bend.

Common Oilfield Accidents in South Texas

Our oil field injury lawyers in Corpus Christi handle cases involving blowouts and well explosions, drilling rig accidents and equipment failures, chemical exposures and hydrogen sulfide incidents, refinery fires and explosions along the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, falls from derrick towers and elevated structures, transportation accidents including oilfield vehicles and 18-wheelers hauling equipment, crane and lifting equipment failures, struck-by and caught-between accidents, and pipeline accidents and pressure releases.

South Texas's Energy Industry

The Eagle Ford Shale has been one of the most active drilling regions in the United States, with operations stretching across a broad band of South Texas counties. Simultaneously, the Corpus Christi area hosts a significant concentration of refineries, chemical plants, and liquid natural gas export facilities, making it a critical node in the national energy supply chain. Flint Hills Resources, Valero, and numerous other major energy companies operate facilities in this region.

Oilfield and refinery injuries in this area often involve third-party liability — meaning that a party other than your direct employer such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner may bear significant legal responsibility for your injuries. Identifying and pursuing all liable parties requires an experienced oilfield injury attorney.

Texas Oilfield Injury Law

Texas does not require most private employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. If your employer has opted out of the Texas workers' compensation system, your legal rights are significantly expanded — you can pursue a full personal injury lawsuit without the usual limitations. Even if your employer is a subscriber, you may have claims against third parties for their negligence.

Texas oilfield injury claims are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations from the date of injury, so acting quickly is critical. Waiting can result in lost evidence, disappeared witnesses, and ultimately a forfeited claim.
