Oil and Gas

Our Firm Fights for Injured Workers

Oil and gas workers have dangerous jobs. That's why there are so many laws and regulations regarding worker safety in the industry. But accidents can still happen that leave workers with serious injuries. Workers' compensation benefits can help, but claims can be denied. At Tabor Law Firm, P.A., our experienced workers' compensation attorneys are dedicated to helping injured workers get the benefits they need and deserve after a serious workplace accident.

There are many ways oil and gas workers can get hurt, including:

  • Truck crashes
  • Machinery accidents
  • Falls from heights
  • Falling loads
  • Fires
  • Explosions
  • Electrocution
  • Toxic fumes exposure

    Oil and gas workers can suffer a wide range of injuries. These include strains and sprains, broken bones, internal injuries, burns, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injuries. The expenses for treating these injuries can add up very quickly. And workers are usually left temporarily - or permanently - unable to work, resulting in lost income.

    In Mississippi, oil and gas workers who have been hurt on the job are eligible for workers' compensation benefits. These benefits cover the cost of all reasonable and necessary medical treatment - including hospitalization, surgery, doctor's visits, medication, therapy and medical apparatus. They can also collect partial wages during the time they are unable to work.

    If Your Benefits are Being Denied, Our Law Firm Can Help

    However, employers and insurance companies can and often do challenge claims for benefits. They may question the extent of the injury, or suggest that it was pre-existing. They may also question whether a certain medical procedure or medication is necessary. This can result in a denial of benefits.

    That's why it's important to have an experienced workers' compensation attorney on your side. Tabor Law Firm, P.A. has been dedicated to helping injured workers for many years. We know how the system works and how to build strong cases to help you win your appeal.
