Help for Victims of Heavy Machinery Accidents in Oklahoma City
Working with heavy machinery is just one of the many hazards associated with the job of an oil field worker. Crane riggings, pipes, drill pieces, and oil derricks are dealt with on a daily basis. A roughneck not only works in an environment where the deafening noise from this machinery makes verbal communication impossible but faces physically demanding and dirty work.
They must ensure that the working space is free from dangerous obstacles, including ensuring that nothing will get in the way of these large machines and drills. All of this heavy equipment is constantly moving, making a single misstep potentially deadly. Working an 8—to 12-hour shift in these conditions can take its toll, even for an experienced and well-trained worker.
A lapse of concentration, even for a moment, may mean that a worker will be caught in machinery or struck by one of its moving parts. If you were hurt in a heavy machinery accident, it's important to discuss your rights and options with an experienced legal counselor.
