Case Filed for Oilfield Worker Injured by Burst Tank

Arnold & Itkin attorneys Kurt Arnold, Roland Christensen, Alec Paradowski, Sam Long, Jim Long, and Danny Cassee filed suit on behalf of a worker who was seriously injured in an oilfield accident. Our client was working at an Oxy wellsite when a tank burst, throwing him 30 feet into the air.

Oilfield work requires working with high pressure, so operators must ensure that the equipment is properly maintained and not over-pressurized. Unexpected pressure releases are a known danger that often will lead to devastating injuries. Because this known danger was not properly addressed by the companies working at this wellsite, our client suffered catastrophic and tragically preventable injuries.

Arnold & Itkin has successfully handled many cases that involved oilfield pressure release issues, and we look forward to using our years of experience in our fight for justice on behalf of our client.
