Because there are usually several subcontractors working a given location in the oilfield, injuries are not aways caused by a co-worker, the employee, or even the employer. Often, an oilfield worker’s injuries are caused by a third party, who was working at the site for another employer. Thus, it is important to understand who may (and may not) be liable for any given oilfield injury. Stuart Starry can assist you in determining how best to seek the most available compensation for an oilfield injury. He may assist you in in a worker’s compensation claim, or help you make a third party claim. Also, it is important to understand the liability of an employer who does not carry worker’s compensation insurance. Special laws apply to these “non-subscriber” cases, and the employer may have a benefit plan that it wholly inadequate and requires “arbitration” of the dispute. It is important that your attorney understand these laws and have experience in pursuing such claims. Stuart Starry has significant experience in “non-subscriber” claims and arbitration.
