San Angelo Oilfield and Workplace Injury Lawyer
Our West Texas office sits at 36 W Beauregard Ave in San Angelo. From here we represent oilfield workers and families across Tom Green County and the oil producing counties around it, including Irion, Reagan, and Crockett.
A lot of the work around San Angelo happens on remote leases, service yards, and county roads where help is a long way off. When someone gets hurt on a rig, in a yard, or behind the wheel of a company truck, the operator and its contractors start protecting themselves right away. We start building your case just as fast.
Not every serious injury happens on a drilling site. We also handle workplace injuries at industrial facilities and job sites across the area. Texas lets many employers opt out of workers compensation, and if yours did, you may be able to sue them directly. Read more about workers compensation versus a lawsuit in Texas.

What Injured Workers Ask Us First
Do you have an office in San Angelo?
Yes. Our West Texas office is at 36 W Beauregard Ave, San Angelo, TX 76903. We meet clients there and also travel to Midland, Odessa, and job sites across the Permian Basin.
How long do I have to file an oilfield injury claim in Texas?
Most Texas personal injury claims must be filed within two years. Some cases have different deadlines, and evidence from an oilfield accident can disappear long before that, so it pays to talk to a lawyer early.
Can I sue my employer after a workplace injury in Texas?
It depends on your employer's coverage. If your employer carries workers compensation, a lawsuit against them is usually limited, but you may still have a claim against contractors, equipment makers, or other companies on the site. If your employer opted out of workers compensation, you may be able to sue them directly.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
