Advocating For Injured Oil And Gas Workers
As the demand for crude oil and natural gas production has increased over the past two decades, exponential increases in drilling activity have occurred in Pennsylvania and other shale-rich areas across the country. Both consumers and companies have benefited from the boom in supply. To support these gains, unfortunately, employee safety often takes a hit.
Drilling for oil and natural gas is hazardous even when all safety protocols are followed and machines are up to code. The risks multiply on sites with little oversight and minimal concern for workplace safety. The extreme increase in demand for crew members and equipment has led to undertrained employees and improperly maintained equipment being placed into service.
When accidents do happen on-site, oil and gas workers suffering injuries and their loved ones can contact my Williamsport law firm, Stapp Law, LLC. For over two decades, I have represented central Pennsylvania employees in various industries who file workers’ comp claims. Guided by my extensive legal background, I navigate the workers’ comp process and hold employers responsible for their negligence.
