Common Oilfield Injuries
Oil-field accidents often result in serious and permanent injuries because workers are exposed to high risks from heavy machinery, high-pressure equipment and volatile chemicals. Common injuries in these accidents include:
- Burns: Fires and explosions can cause serious burns that require long-term medical care.
- Traumatic brain injuries: Falls, falling objects, or accidents with machinery can lead to serious head injuries.
- Spinal injuries and paralysis: Severe spinal injuries can result in permanent disability.
- Amputations and fractures: Injuries caused by machinery or faulty equipment can result in limb loss or severe fractures.

Causes of the Bakersfield Oil Field Accident
The oil industry is one of the most dangerous fields of employment, and many accidents could have been prevented by proper safety measures. Common causes of these accidents are:
- Neglect of equipment maintenance
- Lack of Appropriate Training
- Lack of safety protocols
- Pressure to meet production quotas
- Exposure to Dangerous Chemicals
When an employer or a third party fails to provide a safe work environment, they may be responsible for injuries that result. Our attorneys have a vast experience in identifying wrongdoing and building strong cases for injured workers.
Your Rights as an Oil Worker in California
In California, oil field workers have the right to a safe work environment. When these rights are violated and accidents occur due to negligence, injured workers can file a claim for compensation through a personal lawsuit.
While workers’ compensation is an option, it is often not sufficient to cover all the costs caused by serious injuries. At Bojat Law Group we’ll assess your case and determine the best course of action and possibility of suing the persons responsible to maximize your compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Following an accident, prioritize getting medical attention, even if injuries aren’t immediately apparent. Notify your supervisor about the incident, document the scene (photos, names of witnesses), and avoid signing any documents from the company without legal consultation. Contact an oilfield accident attorney as soon as possible to understand your rights.
You may have a case if your injury resulted from unsafe work conditions, faulty equipment, lack of proper safety protocols, or negligence by a third party. An attorney can help investigate the cause of your accident and determine if a personal injury claim or third-party lawsuit is viable.
Injured workers may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, future loss of earnings, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and, in some cases, punitive damages. A legal evaluation will help clarify the potential compensation in your specific situation.
Yes. In some cases, you can pursue a personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation if your injury was due to third-party negligence. Workers’ compensation may cover basic expenses, but a personal injury claim could help maximize your compensation.
The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in California is typically two years from the date of the accident. However, it’s best to consult with an attorney as soon as possible, as some claims have shorter deadlines and delays can impact the availability of evidence.
After hiring an attorney, they will investigate the accident, gather evidence, and handle negotiations with insurance companies or third parties. If necessary, your case may proceed to court, where your attorney will represent you and fight for fair compensation.
Most oilfield accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront, and the attorney only receives a fee if you win your case. This makes legal help accessible regardless of financial situation.
