      Oilfield Accident Damages

      There are a wide array of damages that could be paid out in your oilfield accident, depending on the specific details of your case. For many oilfield workers who suffered injuries, you may be able to recover workers’ compensation benefits.

      Since Colorado law mandates that all employers carry workers’ compensation protection coverage, you may be able to recover for the following:

      • Your medical bills
      • Costs of going back to school or obtaining further job training
      • Disability benefits to replace a portion of your lost income
      • Death benefits to surviving family members of deceased oilfield workers

      There are certain instances in which employers may not have the insurance coverage needed or you may not qualify for workers’ comp benefits. If this is the case, you may have the option of filing a third-party liability claim. Your personal injury lawyer will need to show that someone else’s negligence contributed to your oilfield accident injuries.

      In filing a third-party liability personal injury claim, you may be able to seek compensation for both economic damages and non-economic damages, some of which could include:

      • Loss of income
      • Loss of employee benefits, including paid time off and health insurance
      • Costs of your current and future medical expenses
      • Disfigurement, skin scarring, and dismemberment
      • Diminished earning capacity
      • Professional reputational damages
      • Emotional distress and mental anguish
      • Fear, embarrassment, shame, anticipation, and shock
      • Physical pain and chronic suffering
      • Diminished quality of life and loss of consortium

      Fatal Oilfield Accidents

      If you lost a loved one in a fatal Colorado oilfield accident, you may have additional opportunities for financial relief. By filing a wrongful death claim, you may have the right to recoup certain types of economic and non-economic damages. You must be sure you have the authority to file the claim as well. Your attorney can review your relationship to the decedent to determine whether you have that right.

      If you were interested in filing a wrongful death claim for a fatal oilfield accident, you must do so before the two-year statute of limitations expires according to Colorado Revised Statute Section 13–80–102. Failure to file your claim within two years of the decedent’s death means you will lose your right to have your case heard at trial.

      Oilfield Accident Claims Process

      The process for recovering compensation after an oilfield accident is relatively simple when you have an experienced personal injury lawyer at Kemmy Law Firm advocating for you. Here is a general idea of what to expect:

      • Your attorney will investigate to gather evidence and establish liability
      • Your lawyer goes over the details of your case to determine whether you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits
      • Your lawyer files a claim with the workers’ comp insurance provider if applicable
      • Your oilfield accident lawyer determines whether you have the right to pursue the claim and files necessary court documents
      • Your attorney negotiates with insurance adjusters and liable parties to obtain a settlement outside of court
      • We bring your case to court if we are unable to get the insurance company or liable party to compensate you fairly for your damages
