Washington Oil and Gas Industry Injury Attorney

Dedicated Oil and Gas Industry Injury Attorney Helping Washington Clients

Fracking and horizontal drilling in the Marcellus Shale rock formation has created lots of jobs in Washington and throughout western Pennsylvania. But it’s also increased the risk of accidents through the extremely dangerous process of hydraulic fracking and drilling of flammable gas. Workers have incurred injuries from such causes as fires, chemical exposure, entrapment, equipment accidents and falls from heights. Injuries like broken bones, burns, head trauma and other traumas can all be considered work-related under Pennsylvania state law, and thus make you eligible for compensation under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act.

What To Do If You Get Injured

First and foremost, make sure to immediately get any medical treatment you need. After your health has been stabilized, you should contact an attorney who has experience in handling oil and gas industry injuries in Pennsylvania—like Michael L. Studd. Employers must provide workers’ compensation to pay for lost wages and medical expenses that result from your illness or injury—even if you contributed in any way to the accident that caused the injury. So it’s essential to contact a qualified work injury attorney right away.
