Callon Petroleum Accidents & Injuries

Worker Sues Callon After Serious Back Injury

In 2013, a Cactus Drilling Company employee was working on a Callon Petroleum oil well when he fell and injured his back. He was raking cuttings into a dumpster when the lid rolled open and he lost his footing. He returned to work after about 20 minutes and worked a 12-hour shift the next day, but sought medical attention when his discomfort became too great. He was suffering from a cervical strain and was unable to return to work. The worker then sued Callon, asserting negligence as the cause of his back injuries.

Deck Hatch Accident Crushes Workers’ Fingers

A Callon Petroleum worker was lifting a deck hatch when the hatch fell, smashing three of his fingers. The hatch then came out of its guide sleeve and fell on the worker’s hand. This accident could have resulted in far worse injuries but, fortunately, no one else was harmed during the incident.

Lawsuit Filed by Oyster Farmer Who Struck Abandoned Pipeline

In 1993, an oyster farmer struck an abandoned pipeline while dredging for oysters in Black Bay, Louisiana. He filed a lawsuit against Callon, but the case was ultimately dismissed for lack of jurisdiction to review the appeal.

If you are injured in the oilfield or at any worksite, you need to report your injury to your employer and seek medical attention. You should also consider talking to an attorney. Your employer may send you to the company doctor, but remember that you have the right to go to a different medical professional or facility, and you have the right to benefits for medical treatment and lost earnings.
