Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP represented the family of a young oilfield worker who was tragically killed in a preventable electrocution accident at an oilfield site. The case involved multiple corporate defendants responsible for site operations and electrical safety, as well as contractor oversight.
The oilfield worker was performing electrical work when a power line that should have been de-energized under required lock-out/tag-out procedures remained live. While working inside a three-phase testing unit, he suffered fatal electrocution injuries. Two nearby co-workers were also seriously burned.
After an extensive investigation and expert-supported litigation, the case resolved for $72.5 million.

Google Review I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment.

Google Review When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance.
I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case.
I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, o call Armstrong and Lee. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take.
Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family.
I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me.
In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me!
If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!

As an oilfield injury lawyer, we represent workers who are seriously injured in dangerous oil and gas operations, including drilling rigs, refineries, pipelines, and oilfield transportation accidents.
These cases often involve catastrophic injuries and complex legal issues, including Texas personal injury law, federal safety regulations, and maritime law. Our team has the in-depth knowledge of this industry, and the legal field, to help you get the results you deserve.
Our oilfield injury lawyers help injured workers pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care, especially when injuries are caused by unsafe conditions, equipment failures, or negligence by oil companies, contractors, or third parties.
In Texas, oilfield injury claims are unique. Many oil and gas employers are non-subscribers, meaning they do not carry traditional workers’ compensation insurance.
Additionally, oilfield injuries may involve:
Understanding how these laws intersect is critical to protecting an injured worker’s rights. We’ve seen too many people settle for low-ball offers from insurance companies, or lose out in court because they didn’t understand what they were rightfully entitled too.
Our team does. We take an aggressive approach to your case, never settling for less than 100% fair compensation.
“Every challenge is an opportunity for us to make a difference. Let’s work together to turn your personal injury journey into a successful path forward. ”

Many people have no experience with the legal system when they come to us. So, it’s only natural that you have questions about what to expect in the coming months. We’re here to help you feel as prepared as possible.
Our team offers free, no-obligation consultations for prospective clients. During this consultation, you will discuss the details of your situation with an experienced attorney, ask questions about your legal rights, and learn about their available options without any upfront cost. Because there is no obligation to move forward, potential clients are able to obtain valuable legal guidance and determine whether pursuing a claim is in your best interest before making any decisions.
Once you decide that we are the right fit, we’ll begin investigating the details around your case. This involves gathering all documentation surrounding your injury. We may request:
We’ll take all these factors into consideration, as well as emotional distress, and ongoing medical costs as we determine your damages.
When many people imagine legal action, they picture a courtroom like the movies. The truth is that many personal injury lawsuits never go to court. Instead, we start by sending a demand letter to the defendant and their insurance company.
From there, we will negotiate with the company’s attorney. If a settlement can’t be reached, only then will the case move to trial. However, we do our best to avoid that, as formal trials can be a lengthy and expensive process, when you’re looking to heal and move on from your injury.
If you are forced to take your case to court, we will be there with you through every step of the journey. That journey starts by filing a personal injury lawsuit.
After filing, you will enter the pre-trial phase. This is the time when both sides gather evidence, exchange information, and work to understand the full scope of the claim. During this time, attorneys may conduct depositions, review medical records, consult with experts, and engage in settlement negotiations. Many personal injury cases are resolved during the pre-trial stage, allowing the parties to reach an agreement without going to court.
If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial. During the trial phase, each side presents evidence, calls witnesses, and makes arguments before a judge or jury. After considering all of the information presented, the judge or jury will determine whether the defendant is liable and, if so, what compensation should be awarded.
We often see injured parties come to us, doubting their injuries are bad enough to justify a case. In our experience, nine times out of ten, not only are your injuries worth pursuing compensation, but you deserve significantly more than you think.
One reason you may be able to secure more compensation than you think is because a majority of oilfield injuries are preventable, and when they do occur, it is often the result of negligence by one or more parties. This means more liable parties to pursue.
It’s also important to note that your injuries are probably not as unique as you would think. We handle these cases all the time and they often share the same causes and injuries.
Oilfield injuries often result from a combination of the following factors:

Our Texas oil field lawyer has written a blog about what to do after an oilfield accident to help you right now.
The damages available for an oilfield injury case include medical costs in the past necessary as a result of the accident and medical costs in the future that are likely to be required. Lost wages and lost earning capacity in the past and in the future are also recoverable. Injured workers can also seek payment for pain and suffering, physical impairment, disfigurement, and mental anguish.
After an oilfield accident, your employer and its insurance company will quickly investigate the incident, gathering evidence and assessing liability. You may be asked to provide statements, so it’s important to protect your rights and consider legal guidance. While workers’ compensation may cover medical expenses and lost wages, it may not fully address all damages. Companies often try to minimize liability, leading to delays or denials. If you face challenges with your claim, an experienced attorney at Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP can help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
A company’s determination that you are at fault is not binding in the courtroom. If you are found at fault during a legal proceeding in Texas, then the rule of Comparative Fault will determine the outcome. Under the rule of Comparative Fault, each party who is found negligent is assigned a percentage of fault, and the injured person does not recover their percentage. For example, if the injured oilfield worker is found 10% at fault and other defendants are found 90% at fault, and the injured worker has $1,000,000 in damages, then the injured worker would be entitled to $900,000. In Texas, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, then you cannot recover any damages. This rule is part of why it is important to hire an experienced oil field injury attorney as soon as possible so that a prompt and thorough investigation can be completed.
Employers and certain other companies that provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage can be immune from suit under many circumstances. However, due to the nature of oilfield work, oftentimes there are other companies that played a role in causing the accident. Examples include maintenance companies for equipment failures, “company men” that are not true employees of the operator, and other contractors at the worksite. Even if you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits, you should not delay in consulting with an experienced oilfield injury attorney.
Sometimes it is clear who is at fault for an accident. But oftentimes it takes investigation to determine who is at fault. An action or failure to act by another person or company can take weeks or months before it results in an injury. It is our job to investigate on behalf of our clients with the help of experts in the industry to determine who is at fault. Sometimes only one person or company is at fault, and other times multiple parties share responsibility.
It depends. Some cases are resolved quickly, within several months of an injury. However, most cases involving serious injuries require longer periods of time. This is because the injured worker needs to receive a course of treatment for there to be a clear picture of what the future medical costs, lost wages, and other damages look like. It also takes time in the legal system to bring a claim and for discovery to be conducted on the merits of the claim.
Although defendants often try to delay final resolution, having an experienced attorney on your side can be instrumental in bringing a fair and expeditious conclusion to your claim.
