Laredo sits at the heart of one of America’s most productive oil regions. The Eagle Ford Shale stretches across South Texas, bringing prosperity but also significant risks to our community.
Laredo’s extreme temperatures, often exceeding 100°F in summer, create dangerous conditions for oil field workers. Heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and dehydration can lead to accidents, falls, and equipment operation errors.
Workers traveling on US-83, I-35, and US-59 to reach Eagle Ford Shale sites face risks from heavy truck traffic, equipment transport vehicles, and long commutes. The Laredo-San Antonio corridor sees frequent oil field vehicle accidents.
The high-pressure wells common in the Eagle Ford formation can lead to catastrophic blowouts, causing severe burns, traumatic injuries, and fatalities.
Hydrogen sulfide gas, prevalent in South Texas oil fields, poses deadly risks. Even brief exposure can cause respiratory failure, while long-term exposure leads to chronic health problems.
The combination of intense heat, dust, and continuous operation in South Texas causes equipment to fail more frequently, leading to crushing injuries, amputations, and other severe accidents.

Texas law provides multiple paths to compensation for injured oil field workers:
While Texas doesn’t mandate workers’ compensation coverage, many oil companies operating in the Eagle Ford Shale provide it. However, benefits often fall short of covering all losses, especially for severe injuries.
Laredo oil field workers may pursue claims against:
Many oil field employers in South Texas opt out of workers’ compensation. This allows injured workers to sue employers directly for negligence, potentially recovering full damages including pain and suffering.
We understand Laredo’s unique position in the oil and gas industry. Our attorneys know the local companies, the specific hazards of Eagle Ford Shale operations, and the courts in Webb County and throughout South Texas.
We proudly serve Laredo’s diverse community in both English and Spanish. Every client receives clear communication in their preferred language throughout their case.
With Laredo’s international connections, we handle complex cases involving Mexican nationals injured in Texas oil fields and understand visa and immigration considerations that may affect your case.
We’ve recovered millions for oil field workers throughout South Texas. Our aggressive approach ensures oil companies and their insurers pay fair compensation for the harm they’ve caused.
Our Laredo attorneys fight for comprehensive compensation including:
Many Eagle Ford Shale sites are located in remote areas of Webb, Zapata, La Salle, and Dimmit counties. Distance from medical facilities can worsen injuries and complicate treatment.
Oil companies operating from Laredo often work across state lines. We handle the complexities of multi-jurisdictional cases and ensure you receive maximum benefits regardless of where your accident occurred.
Don’t let language barriers prevent you from getting justice. Our bilingual team ensures nothing is lost in translation when dealing with insurance companies, medical providers, and the court system.
Your immigration status does not affect your right to compensation for workplace injuries. We protect all workers’ rights and maintain strict confidentiality.
