Oil Rig Accident Injury Claim

Oil rig accidents happen very rarely, but when they do the results can be devastating. Serious injuries or fatalities are not uncommon when working with such a hazardous substance. Oil itself is highly flammable and for this reason explosions can happen fairly easily if a high level of care is not taken.

Accidents on an oil rig always make the main news due to the catastrophic affects they can have on people’s lives. As they are usually based in the sea, miles from the shore, there can often be people missing and many casualties when a serious accident does happen.

Fortunately there are often survivors to oil rig accidents, however these may end up finding themselves having to deal with a serious injury, including burns, broken bones and sometimes amputation of limbs. In this situation an oil rig accident injury claim can be made, as well as for the normal workplace accidents that happen on an oil rig such as slips and trips and with dangerous machinery.

Reasons for Oil Rig Accidents Occurring


Oil rig accidents can happen for a number of reasons. Some examples of these are:

  • Dangerous equipment or machinery causing crushes/cuts/amputation.
  • Exposure to dangerous weather conditions e.g. hurricanes, thunderstorms, ice.
  • Intense explosions from high pressure build up during oil extraction.
  • Oil rig collapsing due to instability/forces of nature
  • Slippery outdoor work surfaces.

Although oil rig accidents can happen without warning, the employer/oil rig owner is ultimately responsible for the safety of those that work within its vicinity. They must ensure that extensive training into the relevant safety procedures is carried out with all employees, to reduce the risk of danger to those working on the oil rig.

The financial impact of any accident at work, including those on oil rigs can be severe. The majority of people rely on their work incomes to pay a mortgage, bills, and other costs such as for food and clothing. Employees often have a family to support and a sudden loss of this financial security can be a major cause of concern to anyone affected.
