Fracking Injury Claims in WV

What An Attorney Can Do To Help An Injured Fracking Worker

The West Law Firm wants you to know that you are not in this alone. Your West Virginian fracking worker injury attorney will get to work investigating this incident. This includes:

• Gathering evidence from the scene and speaking to witnesses
• Obtaining your medical records
• Getting you evaluated by outside medical personnel
• Obtaining the safety records of the company you work for
• Determining the extent of your damages (economic and non-economic)

Importantly, we want to determine if a third party played any part in the negligence that caused you harm. In most workplace injury cases, workers’ compensation insurance laws prevent you from filing a personal injury case. However, the nature of this industry is such that there is a high likelihood that a third party contractor was involved.

Fracking Can Be A Dangerous Occupation

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that there were more than 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported during the latest reporting year. Some industries are more dangerous than others. It is vital that oil and natural gas companies take steps to ensure worker safety. Energy workers perform physically demanding, and often dangerous, labor each day.

Our West Virginia fracking worker injury attorney works with a variety of types of claims that may arise from fracking and shale drilling. This can include:

• Injuries caused by natural gas explosions
• Heavy equipment incidents
• Falls from heights
• Chemical exposure injuries
• Injuries caused by truck accidents going to and from oil and gas drilling sites
