Case Filed for Odessa Man Injured in Oilfield Pressure Release Incident

Roland Christensen is leading our team of oilfield accident attorneys at Arnold & Itkin in filing a case in Harris County, Texas on behalf of a man from Odessa who was seriously injured on the job.

Our client was at the worksite when a sudden and premature release of pressure caused injuries to his shoulder, back, and other parts of his body. This was not a freak accident or an unforeseeable hazard. It happened because the people operating the equipment lacked the awareness needed to do so safely—awareness that proper training should have provided long before they ever set foot on the job site.

Oilfield companies, like the defendants in this case, have a responsibility to make sure their crews are trained, alert, and prepared for the dangers of the work. When they send untrained or inattentive workers into high-risk environments, incidents like this aren't just possible; they're highly likely. Our client showed up to do his job. The defendants' employees’ failure to do theirs left him with serious injuries he'll carry long after the worksite shuts down.

The oilfield accident attorneys at Arnold & Itkin are honored to represent our client as he seeks justice for this preventable injury.
